If It Were My Home - compare US vs UK statistics
« on: January 20, 2011, 02:55:11 PM »
My coworker just sent this link to me, which compares statistics between the US and the UK (or any other countries you pick).

I found some of the statistics shocking, like the infant death rate in America! :O

Anyway, I thought others might be interested in it... (just don't read the comments!)

The class divide is what is find most surprising, the super imposed map puts things in perspective a bit too when you reverse the comparison. If you scroll down you get some interesting comments come up....''I did not even realize there were any other countries other than the United States.''     ;D
