www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swfThis is the scariest link you will ever click. It's pretty much just a stats provider on all the different things happening is the world, such as disease, births, deforestation and world temperature. The scary thing about it is the sheer speed these things happen. Hit the "Now" button to reset the counters to 0. You can just watch all the little counters begin rocketing up. P.S: In the time it took me to type to this point, 180 people died of cardiovascular disease.

Oooh.
I admire whoever programmed that, mainly for their patience.

Get this funny feeling the stats are actually based on averages rather than real figures, I mean:
"I just got AIDs, better update that database"...
Just doesn't seem likely. >>
Edit: right, should've read that blurb at the side, it is. Ah well, at least I was right.

The song I'm listening to at the moment goes well with this. Nice and hectic, but sort of maddening at the same time. I'm not talking about the deaths, just population growth. The deaths are awesome.

Not a single person has been put in prison since I've been watching
408 abortions.
This is all extremely depressing.

It probably has something to do with church being against abortion, knowing him. <.<

Nah, it's baws all to do with the church. I just support abortions, and think some of the more... strong pro-lifers are putting their own beliefs in front of the welfare of the people who have a reason to consider abortion

I'm personally a bit skeptical on the rightness of abortion. Yes, they are killing what could turn into a great person, but they are also able to use the fetal tissue for stem cells that can help people with decaying tissue.
I did hear some dude in my class saying to vote for Huckabee since McCain and the democrats support gay marriage and abortion but you can't really say to ban either of those. I never once saw in the bible that gays were hated by God or anything except for maybe to not just let your sperm go nowhere which is countered by the fact that they could take there sperm and use a woman to simply have as a baby holder, and wouldn't protected sex be against that also anyway?
I'm getting too off topic, watching these numbers rise while listening to Drifter by Iron Maiden is just making me laugh like Dane Cook telling jokes to me while I'm being tickled.

Take it to PM if you want to discuss abortion further, please. No, I'm not minimodding here, I just hate open political debates and politics in general. |
