I actually like Hans Rosling, has he helps put a lot of things into proper perspective, but I just realized, that first graphic with the deaths from natural disasters is completely wrong.

At around the 2000 there's a slight bump, that seems to rise up to about 50,000 death/year, and then it lowers again...But in 2004 is when the Indian Ocean tsunami occured. At least 250,000 people died, which should have jumped the graphic way past where the "C." is.
Something is not right.

The solution to overpopulation has always been poverty reduction:

http://videosift.com/video/TED-Hans-Rosling-on-Global-Population-Growth

What stabilises population growth is the birth rate being below the replacement rate (2.1). At 2009 it was 2.33, meaning the doom and gloom is almost completely unwarranted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate#Replacement_rates

As far as the one child policy, it's unclear if it was necessary in light of China's growth and consequent poverty reduction which would have reduced it without any direct action. What's certain is that it's created a huge group of ageing workers currently approaching retirement with few children to take care of them.

By 2050, China will be roughly as bad as Japan, which has the largest elderly/young imbalance in the world currently. Which will weigh down pension systems, slow down policies towards growth and ironically keep population growth higher because of diverted spending.

These guys are fucked in the head.
Educated, working women, are the PRIMARY KEY to a HEALTHY ECONOMY.

Why tie that to abortions, or high school dropouts, or MALE unemployment? haha...what hegemonistic fucktards.

This is a complete and utter joke, right? Every single society on earth, where you increase female education and employment, you reduce child death rates, injury, illness, and a direct increase to GDP.

Ill try and find the hans rosling video explaining the IMPORTANCE of WORKING WOMEN in developing nations, his bubble graphs are so freakin amazing at showing correlations between these kinds of things..

Thank you for the quality!

Don't tell me you didn't know that!
Where do you think all the ninjas went?

Funny story, true story -- ninjas were the inventors of the washing machine. It was originally intended to be a booby trap that would pull hapless victims into a spinning, burning death, but it turned out to be better at washing clothes. Thus the true ninja empire was founded on the washing machine. Not many people know that. Those who do usually die (unless they're ninjas).
Don't tell anyone I told you.


Disappearing-Socks-Mystery solved I guess...

I wouldn't recommend putting books in the washing machine.


I bet your washing machine doesn't have hands though.
