If The World Was a Village of 100 People (20 pics)

It's nice to see that in easy numbers and figures!

"We Europeans". I always like it when Europeans try and compare the US vs Europe. They're trying to compare 1 country with 1 language, 1 government, 1 economy, 1 military, etc., against a woeful collection of 50 countries always squabbling amongst themselves speaking almost 50 languages, with 50 different governments, 50 different economic systems, 50 different military systems, etc. Not one country can measure up to the US on a 1-1 basis so they have to band together for the comparison! How pathetic.

That was old but still interesting.

capt.huffnpuff,
You are forgetting about European Parliament and the EU.
Anyway, the Europeans can't be lead by just one person, like a stupid flock of sheep...
One person can't a be a president for so many people, unless it's a country like China or the USA.

looks like there's a lot of mistakes in this one...

Good info..

Great

Interesting....

99 don't have HIV. . . . . . . . . yet

t0t0t0, No, I'm not forgetting about the EU or the council of Europe. The EU is 27 different countries with 23 different languages that can't even get England to use the same currency as everyone else. There is a huge difference between the US and China - the president is elected by popular vote through a process that takes over a year while the Chinese leaders are appointed. If the US doesn't like a leader he's replace by popular vote of the people. Everything the EU has accomplished the US has had essentially from it inception 235 years ago - free trade, a common language, a common economic system, a common government, a common military, free access to any part of the country, et al. In the same 235 years, there has been one major war on US soil. How many wars have the Europeans had during that time? Unlike China, I am free to express my opinions, my rights are protected, including the right to speak anyway I please. If the US is such a bad place why have 100's of millions of Europeans migrated here - Germans, English, French, Italians, Poles, Spaniards, et al? Maybe because Europe has more than its share of faults. Any criticism of the US I would put to jealousy.

why are you bragging about the country you were born in? It's not like you chose it, or if you accomplished anything to make it that great. It's just what it is, and you just popped up there, just like you could have popped up anywhere else, so shut up.

xero,

You're absolutely right, but you're not going to reach anybody here. Most of the regular posters have yogurt for brains. I gave up on them a long time ago. Now I just post stupid bullshit.

capt.huffnpuff hit the nail on the head.

Interesting while you read it, then . . .

mortex,
ditto

interesting...

deja vu

some day we will all realize our diversity is what makes us stronger and rather than fight it, we'll embrace it...

so so
