I thought I had already voted on this but your poll says otherwise...

Mark -
I added this link to your other thread. I hope it is okay?
If not, let me know. I will delete my post.

Some population data for a point of reference. There are many countries listed if I didn't list yours.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population

USA population. 311 million

UK population 62 million

Canada 34.4 million

France 65.8 million

Wow, one out of three people in the world is either Chinese or Indian. More than one third of the total population, and growing. If they don't dominate the world in a future I would be surprised. Thank God I only had to learn English which is easy compared to Chinese...

yes and if the WHO and governments dont collaborate and find new methods of depopulation, we will have a scarce supply of resources.

THought about that. obviously these polls are not perfect. Not enough choices. We do have Asia to include those places though. :eek:)

I doubt the chinese can even surf a site like this due to the internet controls. Don't know about India, but probably the level of poverty is so high they can't even get a diagnosis or afford to surf the web if they have CFS.

looks like on a population adjusted basis the UK folks have much more CFS! Kind of what I had gathered from being here, and based on some studies that reported autism being about twice as high.

So far a UK bias per head - hope the powers that be here are watching this from their Never Never Land.

If country was a compulsory field in our profiles it would be possible for the forum staff to generate data instead of this poll which is only as accurate as the people who decide to actually participate. Interestingly enough, some of the other fields could be quite interesting graphed as well. Such as activity level, sex, age.

I'd like to see more of us putting our location under our avatar. You can do that with the special title option in your profile.

I don't think enough people will answer this poll for it to be accurate.
