If The World Were a Village...


If the world were a village of 100 people...

At least 18 villagers would be unable to read or write but 33 would have cellular phones and 16 would be online on the Internet.

27 villagers would be under 15 years of age and 7 would be over 64 years old.

There would be an equal number of males and females.

There would be 18 cars in the village.

63 villagers would have inadequate sanitation.

That village must have extremely localised resource problems along with multiple micro climates...

Some big problems building up here!

I'm sure this was taken out of context.

He probably said something like "if I was a big meanie I would say ......."

Doubt it, its a practical solution to population growth, stupid thing is we already have the tools.

loving the Avatar, its so ... YOU

I think he was suggesting population control not Genocide.

My Father trained as a zoologist and has long held this view, we need to stop population growth & reduce impact, its obvious IMHO.

ahh

Well if people are going to stop having sex could it be MTT please? Then the rest of us can get a chance with the lady volleyball players.

Anyway I thought due to the pill getting into the water supply that fertility rates were falling?

I was promoting genocide.

[filthy1980]

ah you have to love a bit of eugenics

[Robinho]

We should have a decent war - that would get a few things sorted out.

For a start, we might have a chance of some economic growth on the horizon.

Sounds like you've been studying at the Paul Krugman School of Economics

[Robinho]

I was promoting genocide.

[vetran]

Because he suggested it!

I also think there are too many people on this planet and as long as I survive they can all die.

But if there has to be an order I want the ex-MrsBP to go first.

[BrilloPad]

Why? He is economically self sufficient and I imagine his offspring are as well. Correctly managed his strain could probably turn to low impact living fairly easily.

Traditional western Europe native birth rate is falling. Now if you include the effects of immigration its increasing :

One in four British babies born to foreign mothers - Telegraph


Higher number of female immigrants than previously thought 'sparked mini baby boom' - Telegraph

Data released by the ONS in August showed women born in the UK were having an average of 1.9 children each, below the rate of 2.1 that is thought necessary to keep a population level. But when non-UK born women are included, the rate goes up to around 2.0.

Note born in the UK, not of UK descent.

'Curb population or nature will do it for us'. Wildlife legend Sir David warns that mankind is a 'plague on the Earth'

Well presumably fairly soon, he's getting on a bit.

[Robinho]

India & China.

The africans are busily dying of funny* viruses.


*Funny peculiar rather than funny ha ha.

China has the one child thing.

India is on the up though.
