#1 5 US Americans and Canadians

5 would control 32% of the entire worlds wealth, and all of them would be US citizens

Except the ones who are Canadians and not "US Americans".

It irritates me to no end India gets lumped in with Afghanistan and North Korea. "Asian", indeed. They must all be from Asialand.

This leftist garbage is always overtly racist. Not just masochistically anti-white but racist in the old fashioned sense.

#2 80 would live in substandard housing

If 80 out of 100 live in it - whatever it is - then it is standard housing. Al Gore palaces would be above standard.

#3 # 1 (only one) would have a college education.

And that one means the market is still so saturated with useless qualifications someone with a Master's degree is permanently underemployed in downtown Toronto.

#4 7 people would have access to the Internet

Which, given the above, explains the comments to videos on YouTube.

#5 50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation

And her name is Kate Moss.

#7 95% would be batshit insane and do things daily that are against their own best interests, and those of their neighbors, because of (religion/clan/honor/tribe/laziness/pride).

#8 5 would control 32% of the entire worlds wealth, and all of them would be US citizens
Okay, apparantly the Queen of England, King of Saudi Arabia and the Catholic Church are all American citizens? Not buying it? Controlling wealth while excluding land is bogus twisting of numbers.

#9 Lets see the real benefit of a college education:

5 Americans (including Canada) control 32% of the world's wealth, yet there is only 1 person in the whole world with a college education and by odds is most likely to be a non-white, male, heterosexual Asian. So, you see, we don't need no freeking colleges. Save your money and teach your kids Golf.

#14 "33 would be without access to a safe water supply"
That's 2 billion people without safe water, and yet they live long enough to reproduce. I think that's a bit like Excaliber's point in comment #2. How safe is "safe"?

#15 And 20 of you are plotting on how to convert, enslave, or kill the other 80.

#16 Leftist carp about wealth and scheme to come to power and redistribute wealth without realizing it must be created. This particual bunch of loonies act like the US took wealth from others. Bull. Its not a zero sum game.

Hey leftists:

We control much of the world's wealth because WE CREATED IT!

Biotech, transistors, cell phones, the PC, the internet, etc - they did not exist wordl-wide and now they do thanks to the US. Our brains, our work, our inventiveness and adaptability created wealth where there was none.

Go piss up a rope with your socialist collectivist BS.
