a statistical issue.

I am not a fan of stats.

Be it sport stats, credit stats, stock market or video game stats. couldn't really care for them.

In this world which makes about as much sense to me as a rubik's cube does to a 3 year old. not the science experiment 3 year old Chinese baby that solved the cube in 114 seconds (yay everyone gasp Chinese kids are smart to), but the normal ones ingloriously getting a few syllables out of their face holes kids. all of that anecdotal bullshit to say "why should I pay attention to the stats out there." What has stats Canada ever told me that I actually cared about, why do I want to know that I have a higher chance of dieing from Renal Failure than I do of being shot.

So now to lightly negate what I have said about stats, here is a stat chart of what the world would look like if it were reduced two the sum of 100.

The Whole World as One Hundred People

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 like this:
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere (north and south)
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non Christian
30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 homosexual
59% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people and all 6 would be citizens of 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 would have a college education
1 would own a computer When one considers our world in light of this, the need for both acceptance and understanding becomes glaringly apparent.

Wile there are more complete versions of this "stat chart" on the Internet this one sufficed for the point it was making to me.

We live in a dream world North America, realize it and regard what has been so readily given to you. There is so much in place to make it VERY difficult for you to die go hungry, homeless or uneducated. We look at the homeless In our country as lazy junkies who make no way for themselves and leach off of society. In other countries though, that same standard of living is what the regular population survives in.. Since we know so little about 3rd tier life we don't bat an eye. but travel for something other than to vacation and you will come face to face with a statistic that can walk,talk,breath and smile. Much as I dislike national statistics, it is far worse to treat someone as a number on a white board.

"70 would be unable to read" I don't know what the stat is for people appreciating the ability to read, but at the very most it could NEVER be more than 30 percent. maybe 5 percent of simians out there are actually cognizant of how important their reading ability is.

Now get outta here.
I'm going to go appreciate a good book.

Problem Free...

To many people have an issue with free things.

Internally you say to yourself what's the catch...

What Do I have to give up in order to get this free thing. An example could be hanging out with someone you really don't want anything to do with, getting free coffee,movie,dinner,book,sex,clothes. your giving up your time to some asshole but the free stuff is just so worth it...right? that may be an extreme situation though. Us Jackanapes have hopefully evolved a little more in such a way as being able to turn down something that gives us nothing but a headache and the "I survived so and so" T-shirt. No one wants to get the short end of the stick even if it comes with "door number one door number two" type prizes. that's not the problem.

The problem I have is with the promotional free stuff, Or should I say the people moving past the promotional reps. When we, the apes of society are lumbering down the street, if someone goes to hand out something 90% of people look at them like they are begging for your petty change, plotting a grand heist to relieve you of your knock off Rolex watches, or are trying to give out free samples of syphilis. They are not. they may not even want to be there. they are the avatars of the "company" whomever it may be. So Take the Gum, Take the Pop, Take the Damn "Multi Use super absorbent never need another paper towel again" Cloth.

IT IS FREE.

–verb (used with object)
to make free; set at liberty; release from bondage, imprisonment, or restraint.

Embrace Free Events as well. No other type of situation brings together absolutely every type of personality like a free community event. Go to a club (of any sort but lets use a nightclub) there is a fee to get in. That alone stops some people from ever showing their face at said club. but something like a Free outdoor movie...Who doesn't like the idea of that! it brings out everyone from family's, drunks, bored kids, high kids the horny and the insane. Because anyone can go everyone does. If the movie isn't entertaining you enough, take a moment and look around. I'm sure the Drunk guy who fell onto the high kid who freaked out and scared the happy family might grab a chuckle or two out of you.

So enjoy all that you can gain for free because...

The GUM is cheering when you take it because it is now set at liberty! The POP is joyful because the bondage of store prices are released! The "Multi Use super absorbent never need another paper towel again" Cloth is Dancing in the street because it is free of it's imprisonment on your Television screen by it's cold abusive master Vince Shlomi.
So Free your Restraint and take that Hug,Cloth,Pop,Gum and Movie.

Be free! Be happy! and most of all,

relax.

Now get outta here.
I'm going to a movie.

Writers Block
