Cheech Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Useless statistic is useless. Greece's population is 11.3 million as of 2011, ours is 311.5 million.Here's some more stats for you, since you want to make useless comparisons:We have approx. 200,000 MORE than the entire population of Macedonia (2.05 million) currently behind bars, right now. Counting those on probation/parole, that number extends just 100,000 shy of the population of Hong Kong (7.17 million), all undergoing some form of administrative punishment. Globally, we have 5% of the world's population, but 24% of it's prison population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Just a comparison number, to grab your attention to get you to read the article. Did you read the link. Makes some sense. Our medical tech has increased, our job safety standards have increased, our ability to get medical care has increased. Yet more people are on disability. One would think it would decrease.

Gunner75 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 When I was growing up in Eastern Tennessee in the mid 90s, there was a family known for living off the government tit. There were two brothers in particular that were always trying to think of ways to get on disability. They tried everything, from smashing their cars and trucks into trees, over the hill into the rivers, into on coming cars all to get injured to the point of disabling injuries but all those attempts were unsuccessful. Finally they got together and devise a plan to shoot each others legs off and claim that it happened while they were cleaning their shotguns. Sure enough it happened, each other shot the others leg just under the knee, both had their legs amputated just above the knee and by the time they had gotten out of the hospital they were on track to receive their SSI checks.

jblosser Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Greeks don't breed much. They invented anal.How do you separate the men from the boys in Greece?With a crowbar- you know why the Greek boy left home?--- he didn't like the way he was being reared. - you know why he came back home?--- he couldn't leave his brother's behind.
