Who in the World....

[Knock-on]

This is fascinating.

When I was born, I was the 3,606,956,006th person alive on Earth.

Since then, the population has doubled.

No wonder naresourcesourses are reducing at an alarming rate hock:

BBC News - 7 billion people and you: What's your number?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I did this earlier and I was around the 5.3 billionth person.

Aren't such things meaningless as you have to take into account deaths too? You could be the 5,300,000,000th person but so could thousands of other people!

One perhaps more interesting question, how many humans has there ever been?!

There are more than enough resources to go around.
The problem is Governments......In particular Left wing, Anti-business Governments.

Here is a list of the 50 poorest countries in the world

World's Poorest Countries

Every Single one is either a centrally planned, anti-free market economy or trying to dig itself out of the morass from the very same type of Government.

Then you have places like Singapore and Hong Kong which had zero resources and yet have flourished due to free market principles.

"You were the "320,916,744th person"
I was born in 1047 and have access to time travel. I was 19 when the Normans showed up. That was dead confusing, there were about 15,000 blokes all with the same name.
Conveniently they decided that the best place to have a fight was at the appropriately named place called Battle. They must have landed on the coast, saw the signs for the A2100 south of John's Cross which read "Battle" and thought "Let's go there!" *


*actually this story is bollocks, here are the numbers for people who like that sort of thing:
- 4,325,802,946th
- 78,842,900,479th

I'm pretty sure that isn't true.

I can't post a link as this was television show fronted (I think) by David Attenborough a few years back and it stated that if everyone on the planet wanted to live the same privileged life as us fortunate enough to live in the developed world, the planet could sustain only 2 billion people.

There may be enough room for us all live, but food and far more pressingly, clean water, are finite resources.

So close to a podium position and yet... :P

It would be very impossible to be the only person to be born on a given date in the whole world. Population is increasing and we can't stop it.

And it is well known that David Attenborough is a world famous expert on statistical analysis of the worlds resources. He only plays a biased, documentarian for the BBC on TV
