wow those are really interesting.

I wonder what'd he'd do with canada?

**marc873** · 04-25-2007, 06:13 PM

Thats pretty fucking interesting my friend. Seems sad though

**raoulduke** · 04-25-2007, 06:32 PM

It's a fucked up world we all live in.

That's some powerful stuff.

Thanks for sharing Jake.

**freespiritz** · 04-25-2007, 06:39 PM

Those are cool in a really depressing kind of way.

**DC_Jessica** · 04-25-2007, 06:46 PM

Hmm, I work at a university, I might flyer this around.

Love it, Jake, good find!!

**patchouli Lover** · 04-25-2007, 07:09 PM

Very intersting Jake! I agree with DC I'd like to share it some friends. You don't have the link you got it from do you?

I do find the American flag funny. Esp the part about the blue and the % of people who don't know where Irag is. Saddly soooo many people are misinformed with the Middle East. I hate that song but I think Allen Jackson that he wrote around 9-11. I think it is Where were you when the world stopped turning..... or something like that. It is a beautiful song and I understand the meaning but the phrase " I don't know the difference between Irag and Iran" drives me nuts!

**raoulduke** · 04-25-2007, 07:11 PM

Hey patches, I'm not sure how official it is but they can be found here

**patchouli Lover** · 04-26-2007, 04:20 AM

Thanks man!

**mish99** · 04-26-2007, 04:38 AM

Wow, thanks, those are really cool! I wonder if theres one on South Africa....? Makes me think

**noke_travel** · 04-26-2007, 06:58 AM

however grim the statistics are, it's a really unique way to visually portray them. i hope he does more.

**micdans** · 04-26-2007, 08:36 AM

Good thing - the disparity has been reduced over the past 5 years, and Brazil's growth is one of the best in the world, which would help those who are at the bottom. I'm not sure the government/tax/welfare system there, but per capita they make $8,300 (US terms) which is easily liveable. But since we know that the bottom aren't making that much money (but who knows if those making under $100 aren't 8 year old kids) then it is much of a concern.

**TheJake** · 04-26-2007, 09:16 AM

as a traveler through brazil I can say with much confidence that the statistics are right for there micah... People there are seriously fucked for work and yet they are way happier than most americans.

**kingcrazylegs** · 04-26-2007, 10:20 AM

nicely done jake

**omisan** · 04-26-2007, 10:24 AM

I was having a good day until I saw this. Now I'm depressed.

Thanks, Jerk

**TheJake** · 04-26-2007, 10:35 AM

I aim to please.

rousseau5550 · 04-28-2007, 10:41 AM

Can you post the link? I'd like to see the other flags.

**TheJake** · 04-28-2007, 10:49 AM

that's all he made from the vast searching I've done.

**mermaidnz** · 04-28-2007, 05:58 PM

ohhh ive seen his before, and it still shocks me.

lol the american flag just cracks me up tho, its like he thru the curve ball of humour in with the other nationals shitty statistics

**expatben** · 04-28-2007, 06:46 PM

thats a cool idea to spread the stats around really inventive. I hope things change though.
