If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people.. - GoFuckYourself.com

If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people- with all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining-what would this tiny, diverse village look like? That's exactly what Phillip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out. This is what he found.

57 would be Asian.

21 would be European.

14 would be from the Western Hemisphere.

8 would be African.

52 would be female.

48 would be male.

70 would be nonwhite.

30 would be white.

70 would be non-Christian.

30 would be Christian.

89 would be heterosexual.

11 would be homosexual.

6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire world's wealth.

All 6 would be from 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 pregnant.

1 would have a college education.

1 would own a computer.

The following is an anonymous interpretation

Think of it this way. If you live in a good home, have plenty to eat and can read, you are a member of a very select group. And if you have a good house, food, can read and have a computer, you are among the very elite. If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are fortunate, more than three billion people in the world can't. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare, even in the United States. If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful... You are blessed because the majority can, but most do not. If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder...you are blessed because you can offer healing touch. If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

reynold · 06-14-2006, 06:16 PM

...and who will be possible Village chieftain?

HouseHead · 06-14-2006, 06:18 PM

Yup that pictures is nice, and so its the lit.

Wow, nice non-true 'facts' there. Serious bull crap on many of those facts, but the three I quoted stood out more than the rest.

Fucksakes · 06-14-2006, 06:38 PM

well that makes me feel better.

Actually, the last 2 are probably the most believable.

That's what I was thinking, since it is based on percentages & those would be nubers that would be fairly computable give the amount of information available to a college professor.

CheneyRumsfeld · 06-14-2006, 06:45 PM

you have no Eskimos in the mix.
Without Eskimos I do not want to play.
And to make matters worse, your one and only computer would no doubt be running Windows and constantly crashing.
Why bother?

Really?

So the top 6 richest people would be american? How exactly does one come to that conclusion? Seems very arbitrary to me. Make 4 american and 2 european and it would be believable.

And 1 in 100 people own a computer? Really? Give me a break. How many people in us/europe/"western" asia do _not_ own one. And that's over 2 billion people right there. Even not counting that most people own more than one, the number is ridiculously off.

If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people...

They would still have 1,000's of fake nicks on GFY.

fetishblog · 06-14-2006, 06:52 PM

Did you know that RIGHT NOW, the entire population of the planet would fit inside an area the size of Texas, and still have room?

Faustino · 06-14-2006, 07:06 PM

kandaH, great post, sometimes we need to remember how thankful we should be

sonofsam · 06-14-2006, 08:02 PM

100 people and 11 of them would be gay?

Don't buy it.
