One of the most famous pics from the war.

Wow! Nice follow-up on Vietnam girl!

Horrible bastards.

It is predicted that by 2050, the percentage of China's population aged 60 and above will be 45.4%

Given China's population, that is a shitload of old Chinese people.

Except they just dropped their controversial one-child policy, so that may sway the trends.


Still a lot of Chinese people though.

India will surpass China by 2025, in 9 years freaking amazing

Hopefully they are getting their poo issues under control.

Lotta poo.

There is a significant gender imbalance in China. More males. A report I heard stated there are over 30 million more males than females.

If everyone in China paired up, what would be leftover is a country the population of Canada - but all dudes.

That's a lot of sad micropenises.

Major sausage fest if I ever saw one.

The World's Most Generous Countries

The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) has released the 2015 Giving Index, which offers a global picture of how generous people around the world really are. Now in its sixth year, the index measures the average percentage of people who donated money, volunteered, or helped a stranger in the previous month in 145 countries (around 96% of the worlds population).

Buddhist Myanmar, monks walk house to house with their bowls and people give them food or invite them to eat.

Maybe this has something to do with the high rating.

 

[Mudcat]

Yeah, they got routine alms in Myanmar.

They also have a large population that wants to expel if not exterminate the muslims - radical buddhists, they got - sounds like a joke but it's not - but I guess they are selectively nice.

Does not surprise me about Americans. Their second placing is down from 1st last year. They are an easy target for all kinds of shit but they got a lot of people who want to help a lot of things.

Does not surprise me that Canada is up there.

Meanwhile, in other Canada/China news, Miss World Canada - who is of Chinese origin - is being fokked with re the upcoming Miss World pageant in China. The Chinese powers-that-be don't like her views and activism in causes that oppose the Chinese establishment - and that government has delayed her permit to come to the country for the pageant - they may end up denying her altogether - and also threatened her father in China.

So yeah.

I guess when you're talking about a beauty pageant contestant you can't very well go without posting a pic, now can you?

Here, she testifies on Chinese human rights transgressions before a US congressional committee on July 23.

 

[Mudcat]

Here she is with glasses. No sense denying it, I got a thing for pretty girls in glasses.

good for them. You wanna activate, activate against the powers where you live. Otherwise you're a sellout pawn
