From Joker 312:
"So far GS and I were having an intellegent exchange of ideas without throwing trash at one another. You are correct that the US has many areas that have a need of vast improvement. Angus, I would have chosen the example of US Foreign Aid, which is heavily weighted in favor of arms instead of humanitarian aid instead. Numbers for executions are published for those that are KNOWN. I am sure that many nations are not as upfront about it as is the US. The genocide going on in some African countries costs 100's of thousands of lives annually but are not included in the statistics. Prision populations is likewise suspect due to non-reporting in many countries. And to pick on overweight persons is well.......immature. "
Hope I am not intruding then, - the whole affair seemed to be getting into silly directions anyway, so I was temped, and put some oil on the fire

Anyway, my comparison was of the western world only, - Europe and the USA. Not Africa. And the statistics in W-Europe and the USA are quite open.
And BTW, the Genocide in some African states count MILLIONS.
And the overweight, - hehe, couldn't resist
