Interesting? I thought so.

If we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look like this:

There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Americas (North and South) and 8 Africans.
51 would be female; 49 would be male.
70 would be non-white; 30 white.
70 would be non-Christian; 30 Christian.
50% 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.
Only 1 would have a college education.
No one would own a computer.

Thread crap. You asked for it.

To reduce unexpected and costly offspring the following program will be enstated for human protection.

Effective on (date), all human offspring will be sterilized, both sexes. This is a reversible procedure and will be 100% covered by tax dollars.

When a mating pair has met the minimal requirements in the areas of housing, financial capabilities as defined in section (-), and (parental) training guidelines as outlined in section (-), they will be allowed to have the sterilization process reversed in order to have up to a limit of two (2) offspring. If complications arise with conception and or delivery of the first offspring procedures are to be followed per section (-). Once the limit of two (2) offspring is reached, both parents will be sterlized a second time and this procedure will be permanent.

This stat is incorrect. That's saying the top 6% richest people all live in the USA. If you take a look at the top 25 richest people in the world (far less than 0.001% of people), there are more than USA citizens in the list.

The granularity is pretty large. One person has to represent ... what ... 60 million?

Stats might be interesting if I hadn't gotten that stupid email forwarded to me about a hundred times. DIAF, OP.

"substandard housing" relative to what?

US is the pwn. What's your point?

Not very good at critical analysis are you?

And then a pack of lions would come along and eat everyone. And leave humanity in neatly coiled piles on the plains.

Yeah, I realized my mistake a bit after posting but the post was made and I didn't go back to edit it out.
