Not really a discussion thread, unless you want to, I'm not stopping you, as long as you refer to at least one map in these links. It is just a collection drawn up by the Washington Post that maybe useful in present or future discussions. 40 maps that explain the world 40 more maps that explain the world |

That is so interesting. On the first link I got a kick out #11 panarins map. But #12 is very telling on the U.S. maybe we should just back off on being the worlds police man. The second link was just as good. For #8 I was suprised at how the shorelines of the world had changed. And #40 the airline flights for 24 hours says we are all connected. [/quote] Old James |

Fantastic WK, it's proved what I've always known..... Ireland is a top place to be born in. Shame about the UK being middling :) |

The 24hour airline flights were interesting in that most of them were between Europe and North America. Well why not? Where else in the world is worth going to? Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney, Christchurch, Oslo. There's a big wide world out there, & it's time you realised that, so get some more fresh air. Sounds like you need some. |

On the first link #27 intrigued me. I'll stop worrying about North Korea if their missiles can only hit China (which they won't) or Russia (which would end very badly for them). #36 too, apparently Britain wasn't surveyed about atheism, which seems an odd exception. In the second link, #8 the flooding map shows some dire results, as well as the loss of London, but by it's own admission, it'll take thousands of years, by which time people will naturally have moved away from the incoming sea anyway. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |
