Life expectancy.
 
I was just checking the one for people in Britain, and its close to 80.
Pretty good, that means most people will life till they are old and Grey. :)

Then I checked for where I, from Senegal, and its like 55!
Shocked me, I really never knew that, because most people I know live till they are old. I figured, its probably because there is a huge mortality rate for infants, and kids who are less than 5 years old. :sad:

Just wanted to bum yall out during these festive days! :)

Its good to know these things, as much a people complain about living conditions, Its a good count your blessings lesson.

Its really apparent, when you compare L.E., for different regions of the world.

Yeah, he is. He is a son of immigrants, so he's spent most of his life in the US. I am like him in many ways, I only lived back home until I was 7.
But its ridiculous to see the gap, of miore than 25 years, if you happen to live in a certain country.

I was shocked when I heard Glasgow's life expectancy is somewhere between 40 and 60

:shocked::shocked: Is that the world's lowest? Thats crazy!!! :shocked:

39?

Not surprising though, because people only care, when their interests are at stake. (Ie: Irak, Iran, Afghanistan..etc.)

yes it is the lowest, i think its mostly down to the fact that over 50% of the population have aids

I remember a programme a while ago, they went round a graveyard in Glasgow and found the average age of death was about 55
