No South America?

 

[jskilnyk]

But, how many of those users do you wish you could punch through the internet. Just waiting on someone to invent it.

I'm sure there's plenty of information about South America if you read the full report.

"Africa is still the continent with the lowest penetration of Internet connections with 11.4% of all people. However, Africa posts the fastest growth and multiplied its Internet users by a factor of 24 between 2000 and 2011."

Yes and most of them is coming from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and where some 'rich' people apparently died, and left over some millions to somebody...

"Asia has the largest Internet population with more than 922 million Internet users 44% of all Internet users globally."

Yes, because of Social Networking...

I read the other day that Australia has the most internet users per capita in the world.

Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

 

[chickenhoagie]

north america has the highest per person ratio, yet still has one of the worst averages in internet speed.

Only 11.4% of internet users are from Africa, yet a staggering 84% of all dodge internet scams originate in Nigeria

[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]Because we're a country built on Capitalism; The idea where you can somehow inspire to create a business and always turn a big profit. The problem with that idea, is that money isn't infinite, It's a finite amount. If everyone is making bank, someone has to lose out someplace...[/citation]
That's not quite true:
1) Money is not finite; the Federal Reserve can always print more of it.
2) If, as I think you meant, we're talking not about currency itself but the total value of goods and services, total value is still not a finite amount. This is because the value of things is subjective (varies from person to person). So, if people produce what others want and then trade willingly, total value goes up, because the parties involved wouldn't have agreed to trade unless both of them thought they'd be getting something worth more than they gave. The idea that the "economic pie" is of a fixed size is really a very common (and unfortunate) misconception.
Tying this in w/the article, there's a definite connection between internet penetration and economic growth; the internet greatly reduces the overall cost of arranging and conducting trades like the one described above. (Just think eBay, Amazon, etc.)

Hopefully a lot of those booming populations can educate themselves on the net about the use of Durex, hopefully without infringing too much upon their religious beliefs.

[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]I'll put it this way.....The top 1% of the wealthiest people in the USA, control 99% of all the money. Meaning....the rest of the 99%, fight over 1%. That's the problem. The Fed Res is also not supposed to be doing that. Ideally, the money needs to be backed, otherwise It's just a piece of paper, which sadly, It sort of is.[/citation]

Worthless paper currency especially if other nations stop using it, which is now happening. The Fed Res could print as much money as it wants..it won't stop the currency being de-valued. America is now a debt-ridden nation, sold out by TPDB to the offshore banking interests. That's why America no longer runs it's own affairs.

But hey, we have a black man as a president, Osama Bin Laden has apparently suddenly been found just before Osa..sorry, Obama's re-election, there are all these cyber terrorists suddenly attacking around the time of new legislation. Jeeze we have an awesome leadership, it's almost like they see something coming before we do.

[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]Ok boys, It's time.....you know what to do......GATHER YOUR GRANDMA'S, GRANDPA'S AND DISTANT REDNECK RELATIVES WHO LIVE IN THE HILLS OF KENTUCKY, AND SHOW THEM THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE INTERNET. IF THEY REFUSE, WE MUST SHOOT THEM TO LOWER THE WORLD POPULATION AND INCREASE THE % OF THE STATISTIC. Powerful tactics you may try to convince such individuals to join the internet brigade: Grandma may take a liking to Martha Stewart online, packed with many colorful art and baking ideas. Always a fresh way to modernize and style your home decor. Grandpa may take a fancy to anti-communism documentaries and videos of D-Day. Distant redneck relatives are sure to love the vast amounts of transvestite porn available to them, 24/7, 365 days a year. If for some reason that fails, show them the Budweiser website along with pro-Dixie content. Viva la Confederation! If successful, we should be able to increase North America's statistical usage by 20%~.[/citation]

The Red Necks or imaginary entities you speak of..they're nothing compared to the well-documented horror being brought to this country, via Mexico. If you do protect this country then I fail to see how you're doing it. Target the real problem or the bigger problem.

Target the corruption. Uphold the Constitution. Target the globalists, the people who wish to sell America off to the lowest bidder. Target the people bankrupting this country. Target the people who would rather fight wars than look after their own. You don't need to go deep into the (last remaining) wooded areas to see the impact of these problems, they're right under you nose..target the corporations who control the media, the people who attempt to conceal such information from the public eye.

A bunch of red-necks is nothing whatsoever compared to the bigger issue, and cannot even mobilize effectively. If you go down South you are far more likely to come across people who are, on average, much more dangerous. This country is being raped and pillaged by this agenda, including the enemy within.

Also look at the future population trends - including the growth attributable to illegal immigration. Have you never heard of 'reconquesta'? Never heard of MS13? Have you seen what is happening in Mexico and in other parts of the world? Try getting into THEIR country illegally see what happens. This country cannot accommodate the world - and his son and has no obligation to do so whatsoever. So whilst you focus on a group of rednecks, and straw man arguments, the numbers speak for themselves. Screw the bloody stupid ass rednecks, they're not the bigger problem and you're not seeing the bigger picture.

Never mind Africa and It's scammers... what about these damned spammers! I don't know or care whether they're coming from India or China, but something needs to be done about them Toms!

"North America has the highest penetration of Internet connections"

Higher numbers of penetrated wallets too? The internet in the states are ridiculously expensive!

[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]I'm not aware of any major nation refusing to accept American currency. Unless you can show me a reliable and up-to-date site, that is NOT Fox News, or some other fear mongering, pathological liars, I'm going to have to dismiss that as an exaggeration and say It's just "made up". The currency, in and of itself is being devalued BECAUSE of the Fed printing more money, but markets and other factors contribute to the defacing value of the USD. The Fed knows that the more money they print, the more problems occur in exchange rates. They're doing it for factors that are right here at home, not internationally. We're really not that bad, as most people like to pretend It's the end of the world. The GOVERNMENT is in debt, NOT the job creating industries and the private sector. No, the private sector is doing just fine, especially after their bail outs and tax breaks. 14 Trillion has nothing to do with why the unemployment rate is so high. It would be, if all the 10%~ or so were previous Government employees, whom were all laid off or fired due to insufficient funds, which we know, Isn't the case. No no no, our country is in the shitter because of the rich ass holes who control ALL OF THE WEALTH,...........You flip absolute shit over everything he does, yet where was all of this when Bush was in office, or ANY OTHER WHITE MAN FOR THAT MATTER?! You're a disillusion racist, and I could give two shits about what you have to say in defense to that, because you'll never be able to say you're not. You're entire attitude has no merit based on logic, only on fear, racism and HATE.[/citation]
