[thechat] Something to think about!!

[anna]

This is Punch Buggy Anna's Dad borrowing her
email id on the computer upstairs to send you
something to think about
 
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
    If the world were 100 people 
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

If the world were 100 people, there would be: 

57 Asians 

21 Europeans

14 from North and South America

8 Africans

52 would be female

48 would be male

70 would be nonwhite, 30 white

59% of the entire world's wealth would belong to only 6 people

and all 6 would be citizens of the United States

80 would live in substandard housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death 

1 would be near birth

Only 1 would have a college education

99 of them will not see this message,

because only 1 would have a computer.

  

When one considers our world from such a compressed 
perspective, the need for both acceptance and understanding 
becomes glaringly apparent.
