Pretty informative article:

Interesting collection. I think three very important maps that are missing from the collection are women's access to education, women's access to the legal system, and women's property rights. Also, a map of food production vs population would be interesting.

wow, pretty neat

This one is pretty cool. 12 month time lapse from space.

I knew it. Indians be racist.

EDIT: Great article, nearly all the maps are worthy of their own discussions, but it's amazing to see all that information laid out on a single page.

LOL @ map 11, Cali and western states to China. More than likely to Mexico because of massive ILLEGAL immigration, birth rate, and amnesty programs.


And Mexico, Brazil, Russia, etc. love the US more than Canada? <map 12>

No big surprise when caste plays such a huge role in day to day society.

40 maps based on someone's ideas and theories from what they have read. Pointless.

More useless information.

He knows Indians are racist because of some maps someone else came up with?

We are second hand people.

I find it pretty interesting, but question some of the data.

For instance: How do they know the % of Saudi Arabians are atheists if it's illegal and I imagine not many are speaking up about it?

Pretty cool, Thanks for sharing

I thought Panarin's Map was pretty hilarious. Can anyone explain how Mexico would keep a hold of so much land?

Also, is it just my colour blindness, or is the neutral position in map 13 overly blue?

Also also, Go New Zealand! (Map 15)

Are you color blind?

China = gray = unaffiliated.

Jews = ocean blue.

And he thinks Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina are going to join the European Union.
