If we could reduce the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:
-60 Asians
-12 Europeans
-5 US Americans and Canadians
-8 Latin Americans
-14 Africans
-49 would be female
-51 would be male
-82 would be non-white
-18 white
-89 heterosexual
-11 homosexual
-33 would be Christian
-67 would be non-Christian
-5 would control 32% of the entire world’s wealth, and all of them would be US citizens
-80 would live in substandard housing
-24 would not have any electricity
-67 would be unable to read
-1 (only one) would have a college education.
-50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation
-33 would be without access to a 安全 water supply
-1 would have HIV
-1 near death
-2 would be near birth
-7 people would have access to the Internet
If to take a look at the world from this condensed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes evident.
Think of it!
If 你 woke up this morning with 更多 health than sickness, you are luckier than the million that will not survive this week.
If 你 have never experienced:
a war, a loneliness of an imprisonment, an agony of tortures 或者 a famine you are happier, than 500 million persons in this world.
If 你 are able to go to church, mosque 或者 synagogue without fear of harassment, arrest, torture 或者 death, you are happier, than 3 billion persons in this world.
If there is a meal in your refrigerator,
if 你 are dressed and have got shoes,
if 你 have a 床, 床上 and a roof above your head,
you are better off, than 75% of people in this world.
If your parents are still alive and still married,
then you are a rarity.
If 你 have a bank account, money in your 钱包 and there is some trifle in your coin box, you belong to 8% of well-provided people in this world.
If 你 read this text, you are blessed three times as much, because Someone has thought of you;
你 do not belong to those 2 billion people which cannot read and... 你 have had your computer!
Someone has told once:
Work like 你 don't need money,
爱情 like you've never been hurt,
Dance like nobody's watching,
Sing like nobody's listening,
Be surprised, like 你 were born yesterday,
Tell the truth and 你 don't have to remember anything,
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
This is your World!
Hasten to do good works!
And 你 are able to make changes!
Think of it!

My 问题 is why do people always say that the U.S. was founded on democracy?
When 你 really think about how this country was founded, you'll realize that we really founded it on war, because it took war to gain our land from Great Brittan, France, Spain, and the Native Americans. We also used it to get the Confederates to demolish slavery, and George W. 衬套, 布什 started the war in Iraq too. We would've gotten along with the entire world peacefully if we wouldn't start so many wars, 或者 used them to gain things that we didn't 或者 don't need. We only use democracy for elections and political crap. We didn't use it when we drove the Native Americans from their homes, 或者 when we wanted to 'free' ourselves from Brittan.
What I'm trying to say is that, if we didn't want so much that we don't have, we're just going to end up with 更多 war.

1.Go around your neighborhood and pick up trash.
2.Use the 3 R's:reduce,reuse,and recycle.
What if our world turns out to look like a big blob of trash?That's what scientist are saying.What if our Mother Earth can't breathe anymore?She just needs a big breath.
Do your part on saving the planet.Thumbs up with recycling,thumbs down with litering.
SAVE THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
