If humankind was a villiage of 100 people...  

Thanks danvino. It's lifted straight from a book.

God bless you

What book?? Is it a secret?

Yeh I wasn't sure about that figure either so I texted AQA and they put the number of people who have ACCESS to a computer at more like 10%. But that said it still might be true that only 1% of the worlds population own a computer.

I'm going to have a look around for the other figures

Cheers for your response

Yeh, it really puts things in perspective doesn't it. I have read alot of other facts too. Apparently in two years more people will die of lack of food and easily obtained medicine and preventable deaths than those who died in all the history of wars ever to take place.

cheers for responding

LMAO! Bum nugget?!? LOL I think they (need to pay on time) had to have noticed! What's the name of this(something hanging from your nose) book? I might wanna(bark at the moon) read it! It sounds like (fart in church) it may be interesting even if it does get(extra pickles) boring. I'm getting ready to leave (the door open)work soon. And yeah, I am bored! :)

haha, have a great (gulp of beatroot juice) evening! the book is called (how to suck milk through your ear) 'I'm not the only one', and it's by (some geriatric) that George Galloway guy.

ps. you (like to wear your cap back-to-front and call yourself billy on the weekend) rock buddy!

ROFLMAO! I wish I had(silicone breasts)more time to read. I may (the birds of paradise fly up your nose)have to run to Borders(the sun will come out) tomorrow and see if they have a(vibrating)copy of it. Thanks for making me(lick it before you stick it)laugh!! By the way, just a thought, couldn't that song about "lick it before you stick it" have been about a stamp? Ya know, before they became self adhesive? Hmmm....

hahaha lol so funny! now look at my (nipples) thread, you've (never tasted one's so good) ruined it! i really hated the taste of (washing powder, my mother always made me eat washing powder) those stamps. i don't get time to (ponder physics while stroking my long beard) read much either. i like to (smuggle apples in my underwear) read before i go to sleep, it helps me (releas gas) relax. what helps you (kill birds) relax?

I'm sorry I ruined your (last clean pair of tighty whiteys) thread 4ft. I've noticed that nobody has (spontaneous orgasms) responded since we started this. So I feel like I'm cutting(the cheese)into your earnings. I will (spank your a** and call you daddy)stop if you want me too. :) Hit me back, just to chat.

No please don't stop its (turning me on a little) sooo funny! lol i'm actually (getting a semi) laughing my a** off here at your (spinning bow-tie and bowl haircut) response, am not kidding! but yes i dont think (you shouldn't be wearing my tighty whiteys on a day when you can't control your bowl movements.. because you know.. its a bit unhigenic, i've gotta wear them now and that's quite disgusting you know, but i don't mind.. you probably didn't know that you were gonna be sick today so i like forgive you and that so don't worry) other people approve. or they just (too busy orgasming, spontaniously) don't have a clue what we're on about and think we're (a couple of f*dge packers) mental. (oh my gehad can you believe f*dge packer violate mylots terms!? LOL)
your biggest fan, this is (4ft or andy whatever) stan

I had a friend who (packed f**dge) once. I can't believe that's a violation of(a twirly whirly)mylot rules! LOL I was home (alone, dressed like the Easter Bunny and playing with my fluffy tail) all day today just putzing around and getting picked (a huge stringy booger)on by my (10 foot rooster) hubby for not being able to (recite the Greek alphabet while sucking on an olive pit) focus on one task at a time. But I still got a(Brazilian wax) lot done.

Wow, that was awwesome.....

Yeh it's hard to know how accurate the numbers are. But I think it could be right because at school I knew a couple of people who didn't own computers, not because they were too poor though, I think it was a personal choice. Also I currently work for a company who's religion forbids them to use computers, tv, mobile phones, radios etc. I think their religion also forbids them to use protection because they have huge families of millions of kids.

Huh, what religion is that?

all the best urban

They're called Plymouth Brethrens. It started in Plymouth England, and also Dublin Ireland (called Dublin brethrens ofcourse),and it's spread throughout the world. It's not a well nown religion because most of them keep to trhemselves. These are called closed brethrens, buit I work for open brethrens who employ normal people like me. But they all have to own their own companies, they can't work for non-brethrens, whatever their religion. Alot of the moeny they make goes back into their church and they're not allowed to show off so they buy volkswagons and volvos instead of BMWs and Mercedes, but they must live in detatched houses.

As far as what they beleive, Im not really too sure but I know that they beleive that Christ is God, rather than the son of God. And they seem really traditionalist in their ways. The females always wear long dresses and headscarfs if they are in public.

I think you could be right my friend. Although all official figures vary, China is very high up on the scale of 'richest nations'. And it looks lie it will soon become a free market. India is proving to be quite promising, and I welcome this, I'm, not an ecconomist but I think it will be much better for the consumer, with the higher competition in business.

That's a very good point EvanHunter! 'Free markets' are not actually free because they are controlled by the big multinational corporations, they are the ones who really run the show. Most free countries are capitalists, and the companies get what they want through pressure and bribes on the government. News Corp have done this in the UK, with their satellite television company Sky. Sky is a monopoly but any complaints are ignored because they have made good 'friends' with Blair's Labour government through bribary.

I know what you mean. It's very well knowing this, and feeling bad about it. Biut where would we weven beggin to make change. And if other people had the upper hand, ineveitably we would proabably see a lower standard of living.

It's a book called 'I'm not the only one' and it's by George Galloway.

He's a socialist member of the British parliament. I don;t always agree with his policies but I have a lot of respect for him
