    If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
    There would be:
    57 Asians
    21 Europeans
    14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
    8 Africans
    52 would be female
    48 would be male
    70 would be non-white
    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% of the entire world's wealth and 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 near birth
    1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
    1 would own a computer
    When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent. The following is also something to ponder...
    If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed 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 more blessed than three billion people in the world.
    If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 70% 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 and Canada.

    Some BS there, particularily the part about all 6 of the wealthiest people would live in the US, that is typical anti-us propaganda that people outside our country (and some of those inside our country) like to spread. There is quite a bit of wealth in Europe as well, perhaps even more per capita than the us. Here's what snopes has to say about it:
