If Britain was a village of 100 people...some really interesting results

So basically

Statistics for the hard of thinking!

Instead of, for example, saying 8% of people in Britain have asthma, or 92% of people are white they had to do it like that.....who says the media is dumbing down?

 

.... its rather ironic really, when other people quote 'stastitics' to ephasise a point they get hammered..... this on the other hand is 'really interesting' - love it

 

Just think its a different way of presenting it

I know teachers use this kind of thing quite a lot. Just provides a different perspective thats easy to visualise.

 

Just thought it was an interesting way of presenting figures in a more manageable size than vast numbers. The criticism of statistics to blindly prove a suvbjective point still exists.

 

Do the two people who are

"of other races" know which race they are of? Or are they a bit puddled?

 

5 people are partly vegetarian?

So they eat some stuff that's meat and some that isn't? Wouldn't that apply to most people? (chinny)

 

Partial vegetarianism is relatively common among students.

The preachy ones that tell everyone about the superior ethical nature of being vegetarian and try to turn everyone else veggie, but they regularly eat fish and white meat as they don't come from proper animals, they eat chips cooked in lard, get all uppitty when you point out that their dumplings contain suet and, when they're pissed, eat kebabs. And burgers.

 

"I'm a level 5 vegan -- I won't eat anything that casts a shadow."


Simpsons quote I think.

1 person in the village would be illiterate
1 person would be a teacher


Fecking employ more teachers then!

 

My missus is always being told

"most vegetarians eat fish." Most? Try none.

Still, my mate Dave reckons he's veggie and he eats burgers, sausages, chicken, fish, the lot. He seems to think not liking steak qualifies him. I'm not joking either.

 

It's the same person.

 

They only eat grass-eating animals. nt
