  • this video really made me think of what i have...and im waaay more greatful!!!

  • Seriously everyone should watch this. It really teaches you to be happy for what you have. We watched this in school, and my teacher asked us what class we were. Most of us said "Poor." But actually, you're rich. And only 3% of the world has Internet, so chances are if you watched this then you are really, really, really, rich. Be happy about what you have. :)

  • I saw this on reddit.

    

  • Reading awwww to much HI Ms. Dean

  • 1 oceania . . . im feeling kinda lonely

  • 2 dollars or 2 million, it doesn`t make much difference when compared to 2 billion. That also is called perspective.

  • Do you guys know the choclate rain musicvideo? 52 mio. views for such a shit and this one does not even have 1 mio... sad...sad...

  • In a village this would be considered corrupt leaders.

  • Why is it stupid? Cause it puts the whole world inperpective or because you dont want to face how good some people really have it in the world yet they take for granted?

  • Really puts things in perspective, makes you think.

  • sure . .. i'm the stupid one . .

    you're the one ranting about animal abuse on a statistics video.

  • course you haven't. cuz its 'illegal.'

  • no ure the one who's retarded. stop trying to cover the fact that america does this too by saying that

    'its not official or legal in america.'

    stop being a hypocrite.

  • so? just because it doesn't happen legally in america doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

  • what does that prove?

    you're just pulling out the same video over and over again.

    it happens in america too.

  • stop complaining about animal abuse in asia and start looking at america.

  • whats a matter you going all sooky on me now? you gonna cry now? ooo boo hoo.

    maybe your mad because your mom took the lock off the bathroom door so you cant wank yourself as much.

  • when you die Nambla will make a monument to your ass.

  • you racist little pissant. your so gay you would run up to my dead body to suck my pecker one last time before i was cremated. i know your motto " no pecker unsucked no animal un loved"

  • your a racist little evil troll. the sooner your in the ground the better.

  • seeing you in a coffin is all the help i'd need.

  • i bet your gf is a poodle or a cocker spanial. if one of your dogs die you can always buy another girl friend

  • so you hate asians too you racist little fag boy. whats the matter they too smart for you?

  • fuck you asswipe im making you my little bitch slapped fool. i have all day everyday to haunt your every dumb comment. im not gonna stop ever. so get used to it. from now on i will be commenting on what an asshole you are. enjoy!

  • what the fuck is wrong with you? asshole

  • scre you u evil little prick

  • ever since i first saw this video I started cutting down on things. Pretty much the only change i've made so far is i take shorter showers but its somethin'

  • lol or mdr

  • AZN's RULE!

  • lol

  • you know what.

    im not going to deal with this anymore.

    racist people like you just irritate me to no end.

    everyone knows you're a nutjob.

  • you are completely right. everyone should complain to utube about this evil little prick.

  • im not even surprised if you don't recycle . .. or don't do anything other than make racist comments about asians as a whole.

    sure, you can talk about those asians that are in the animal abuse business . .

    but don't address the asian population as a whole.

  • that peopleasswipe prick probably came here because he was attracted to the word miniature. it reminded him of his penis and his brain so he thought it was something important

  • really?

    ok then . . . im sorry then.

    but americans aren't exempt either.

    what about michael vick?

    and most likely those people have to live on that money they make.

    and there are more pressing issues than animals rights as of this moment.

  • dont say sorry to that moron. that peaople twit is an evil little troll. get your friends to complain to you tube about the racist little retard and get him banned. he calls all asians a virus

  • those people were not speaking korean.

    most likely chinese.

  • how ironic; you say hate lives inside of me . ..just because i didn't agree with you.

    and you are the one swearing and cursing a nationality you have never met.

  • yes.

    korean and proud of it.

  • why are you so racist . . .

    i would like to know . . . i am a person as well . .. its not like i tolerate that kind of animal abuse . .. im not a heartless being who enjoys suffering and pain . .. and just as a side note . .. what race are you?

  • why. why do you hate asians?

    you don't even know that they were asians in the video you linked.

    you remind me of those people who use racism and insults to get your message across . . . i really do hope you fix that . . . because your actions suggest to many people that you're not much better than those hunters.

  • i honestly hate people like you.

    in your video, they weren't speaking korean . .. fix your ignorance.

  • ? i appreciate this video, i first saw it off of a podcast . .. its very touching and it really makes you think about the world and how lucky you are to have a roof above your head and money to buy food every day.

  • want to say that again? rascist.

  • Excellent video, very enlightening and very very sad.

  • i got this on itunes realy creepy and sadder

  • amazing...

  • i look at my life and realize how lucky i really am

  • nice job...

  • Thoughtful video - good to see it updated with current stats.

  • all the things that i take 4 granted

  • 1. World are changing dramatically. 2. Our Mother Nature acting up killing thousand of peoples.3.Alot of peoples are dying in War.4. Population are growing and yet more peoples are dying.5. Thing expensive now like food, gas, etc. 6.Hard to find a better job eventhough you finish college.7.We are in critical condition we don't know what would happen in the future.8. Eventhough our prayer don't answer just work hard and think is just a regular day. 9.I hoping a better future. 10. GOD BLESS YA ALL

  • Reproduce like rats? Thats ridiculous. Havent you heard of the black plague?? The Bubonic plague wiped out 2/3rd of Europe. That is why Europeans arn't over populating. So you cant say that Its the poor peoples, or the Africans fault. In all reality, Europe is heading in the same direction as everyone else. You people are disgusting.

  • Why don't they say that those poor live outside the village, where no road goes, they live mostly for themselves and think of nothing but themselves.That's why cien años de soledad is such a great book and this is bullshit.

  • So the solution: 70% of the uneducated, poor people must die. Am I right? If I'd be poor, without house and water access, I wouldn't have children. The poor people exist only because of their ignorance, not due to Western or Eastern influence. Nobody forces them to reproduce like rats. The Europeans learned to control their population growth. The Asians and Americans will learn it too. And the teacher is on his way. His name is Mr. Disaster.

  • what is overpopulation compared to genocide and imperialism you europeans are famous for? after all it is not overpopulation but the constant imperialist wars and hording of europeans that have brought the world to disaster 30 african babies don't waste the resources of one austrian like you. there is no overpopulation until you horde and consume more than what is appropriate for one person as europeans do. no one forces you to take more and eat more than is your half but you do it daily.

  • i'm not african either but i prefer a world of africans to a world of greedy european thieves so savage they cannot respect the humanity of others.

  • Umm.. compared to a lot of other videos like this the facts in this are kinda wrong =/

  • We are all controlled by the same small group of people no matter where you live. The answer to what can we do to change the way things are is simple, "Reject the monetary system and begin sharing everyhing we have.

    Greed for wealth and power has turned our attentions and focus to our own lives. It is our choice that must change in order to grow together. It starts in your own communities, for what better place could a change be more welcome than home. Join us at A World United.

  • Ah shut the fuk up, i don't see any of ur videos which is trying to explain the existence of poverty.

  • I thought it was a good idea man, I mean bro why are you so upset about poverty is a real problem you don't want people pushing the issue any and every way they can idiot your what I call a governmental time waster, they love you, so let me guess you really feel guilty under all that misplaced and misdirected anger, but no keep telling yourself it's not that bad, it people like you that got us in this mess for holding people back who really want to help.

  • Europeans including americans are brutal greedy savages that is how they have managed to rape the whole world to concentrate the wealth of the world in their own hands. Billions live in poverty and war to make the lavish lives of europeans possible. If billions of people didn't live in poverty and war their would be no way for europeans to live as they do. Their wealth is directly associated with the misery of others.

  • All people is greedy. The 3rd world is covered with greedy people. No European has ever forced them to have more babies than they can feed. They wanted it, they will face the consequences. This constant self-blaming is annoying. I'm not an African. They will all die if they are to stupid to use contraceptives. I don't have the right to keep them from overpopulating?

  • all humans have the inclination to procreate it's biological you imbecile. for ages humans managed to procreate and feed their families until european animals plunged them into poverty. now you say they should stop procreating so fat europeans can take their resources and eat it? that is like telling your neighbors i plan to steal all your food so stop being so selfish and having kids. only a european animal can think like this.

  • you are the savages of the world yet you justify all your barbarism and tell yourself others owe you life itself. why do you talk of the annoyance of blame while at once you expect millions of people to stop existing so that you may live like a parasite?

  • I get all this appriciate what you have stuff. But if your an American and are poor its unexceptible. If your in some African countries yes. But I belive as the wealthiest nation on earth 99% of Americans should be above the poverty line and comfortable.

  • You are not the wealthiest btw. Don't make such ignorant assumptions. There are 7 countries above US when measured in GDP per capita only.

    Then there's this Human develpment index that measures the well being of a nation. there are 11 countries above US in that ranking.

  • okay.....

  • FOOL!

  • Your spelling is unacceptable.

  • obviously you're one of those people who don't see a message in these videos . .. why would you post something as pointless as that?

  • whats the song title ? please reply thanks!

  • Let's fight,produce for earth .

  • i dont get it so they are saying only 30 people in the world have a bank account?

  • O my God. How stupid can you be. In the begining it said that this is what it would be if there were only 100 poeple in the world. So that basically means that 30% of the people have bank accounts.

  • I always see starving people, homeless people..

    I feel really bad for them and want to help them, stop looking at those starving faces and let them appreciate life.

  • 13 Alkebulans (africans),yeah right... more like 58!!!

  • Well only 13 percent of the world's people live on Africa. So yeah its 13.

  • MORE PROPAGANDA. I don't know where they got these numbers!

    But look on the bright side, being a slave of corporatocracy in the modern country with debt, foreclosure, inflation, no health care, bad education, fascist government, the full onslaught of synthetic existence (dehumanization), etc

    is better than living in the wild country, with a hut, and a family unit, and a culture, and time to think about things other-than money & unsustainable realism with the opposite sex!

    ok. LoL ;)

  • Great info. In our world, there r more poor people then we think

  • Good video.

  • who wants you to feel guilty?

    appreciate that you have much more possibilities than most of the world's population and use these to help!

  • no one expects u to feel guilty, just appreciate what u have

  • 1,012,000,000,000 on military and only 100,000,000 on aid

    That is 1:1012 or 0.09%.

    That is LESS than 1 percent!

  • Great video .... One thing s missing Music... it seems to be really slow even thogh that is good and it gets the point across by going slow needs some instrumental music !!! will enhance video

  • unfortunately to less people appreciate...

  • wow. please...tell me what part of this video you think is gay?

  • I think you meant to say asians...

  • hahahahahaha

  • what the hell kind of comment is that?

  • great job

  • What a sad video!!!

    Please somebody help those people with 1 dollar a day.HOW CAN 6 PEOPLE OWN 59% OF EVERYTHING?!

  • Why don't we all try to be that somebody you are calling for? ^_^

  • goosebumps everywhere

  • using str8 to write straight is gay. You're whats wring

  • i hate brandeis.

  • iQing, you should include who you are arguing against, I got an email saying you replied my comment that was written OVER A YEAR AGO.

  • there should be more agnostics and moderate spiritual teachings to counter balance extremism.

  • your realization is very touching. Many poor people got mocked by rich nations :-(

  • at least there are still genuine 1 % who will take action and try to make things better. I recommend giving them food and education to make things better. giving them money means the money will land into someone's pocket (corrupted dictators maybe)

  • Uhh..sad but true. But actually, the developing countries should have a better birth control before everyone there has 10 children

  • poor wealth distribution is the product of a capitalist world, sad but true, if the world was 1 country and income tax was graded on income, the world would be a better place.

    population isnt an issue, but it would be if everyone was a westerner.

  • yes were beating 75%  of the world!!

    we are winning

  • BIRTH CONTROL!! If I had 50 kids Most would b undernurished. Thats why I stopped at three.......and its still very expensive. We need to teach birth control!!! I really feel for those who go without, but those who go without will have more children than they can afford when they grow up. BIRTH CONTROL!!

  • I want to see the sources for this video... some of the stats seemed way off

  • you know, this video has been remade over and over and over again. lets try something new, people.

  • Evolution happening before our eyes.

  • Incredibly misleading... $2 per day sounds low to people from rich nations but in a poor nation $2 is a lot more. Culture also plays a huge role - do Chinese farmers or tribal communities really need to be fully literate/have a computer to enjoy life? Why impose our ideals on other peoples?! I call shinannegans!

  • you´re an hypocrite and a tyrant!!!

  • appreciate what we have? that's it? when 6% have 59% of the wealth I think appreciating what we have would only apply if we're in that 6%.

    also i find it strange that only 3 have internet access.

  • really the best thing that i can do is call for the 6 ppl that control 59% of the wealth to share. but they will not.

  • good video. i think its sad to see what a state the world is in.

  • nice allmost made me cry

  • I like all the dumb asses who think this is cause of over population. The world wasn't over populated in the dark ages when everyone lived like crap.

  • guess who is the one oceana huh

  • Very enlightening. I appreciate what I have. I am very lucky. If you are one of the lucky ones, help someone who is in need.

  • I am not feeling lucky that I am in the top 75%, I feel lucky that my great grand parents had the brains, and the sense of adventure to come to this great nation called the U.S.A. I have lived on the streets, I credit myself for gettting off of the street, choices are not lucky. Well maybe a little lucky, but action is far more likely a positive influence on a persons social status.

  • this is interesting but pointless - most of the problems in the in the world are a result of having a population of 6 billion - poverty, water scarcity, food scarcity, diseases killing off millions - if only we had a population of 100 we'd be more managable and less destructive

  • yes, but the whole point of the movie was to show what a bad state the world is currently in, not to show what an accurate village of 100 would be like. he just kept the proportions of todays society.

  • but since the world has much larger population, what could be the solutions to these problems?

  • birth control

  • you gives a fuck what religion people belong to

  • There is only one way everyone can live like middle-class americans and thats to decrease the population. This video makes it look like we are the cause of their misfortunes. But it's completely arbitrary, economies are made up and imaginary things. What really matters is unstrained natural resources. The only way to get that is to decrease the worlds population.

  • Ohh really! So I suppose you prescribe to T.R. Malthus's dismal sciense world view. Try paying attention in Econ next time, people say that the only way for everyone to live well is to reduce the population. Try getting everyone to cooperate, instead of kill, rape, or exploit one another.  Most third world contries do it to themselves with corrupt leaders and governments syphoning all the wealth of their nation to a select few people, who generally buy guns.

  • 3rd world countries arent the only ones with "corrupt leaders and governments syphoning all the wealth of their nation to a select few people, who generally buy guns."

  • I agree that we need to decrease population, but still, America sucks. Noone likes America but the people who live there and never left.

  • You agree that we need to decrease population? Way to not come off like a whacko there pal....

  • Do you seriously think that global warming and world starvation would be an issue aswell as finding resources, if the earths population wasnt so much?

  • Do you seriously think comments like that are intellectual? So you're all for the death of millions of people just so you can live a little bit more comfortabley, safer in the knowledge that there are more resources for you and yours...

  • Definetly. But if it means i am going to have to sacrifice myself to wipe out the human race, so its only animals, i will be proud to.

  • Where did the WHOLE riddance of the human race idea come from?

  • Just for the record, maybe I wasn't clear, but I totally agree with you. Population ISN'T the problem. Maybe it's easy for western countries to say that, because the more developed a nation, the lower the birth rate. The real problem is the amount of injustice in the world through corrupt governments and lawlessness. My point was Malthus was WRONG.

  • The world is a screwed up place full of violence, greed and inequity. The majority religion is Christianity, so they run things.

    I wonder what that says about Christianity?

    At the very least, Christians are too smug about how "good" they are.

  • Many of the divisions of Christianity the video groups together are night and day when it comes to core beliefs. Saying that Christian's are 'smug' is stereo-typing. Ask most Christians I know how good they are, they'll tell you they aren't good at all. Christianity provided the moral base for western civilization as we know it today. Just because you want to rationalize your lifestyle by equivcation and some Christians aren't like that doesn't mean you should call them smug.

  • Well said

  • Nosce Te Ipsum...

  • if u think about it life is just nothig just life. u think wow wat the hell am i doing here why we are. just a little speck of a little speck of a little speck thath in a huge universe

  • love this video. great.

  • actually there's no need to improve in "GM"

    because the food is actually [enough] for everyone on earth , but why there are still lots of ppl starving ?

    that's because u eat too much ,waste too much,and use too much.....

    it's just my opnion

  • wud be alot better with music tho

  • I guess that Jews fall into the "other" category.

    And what exactly is "development aid"?

  • Work to change this misery at zmag dot org

  • exellent video. i once had a wise teacher that made us act out that piece of writing in a play. we each had one line to read when we where done we had to fall to the ground as if we where dead to symbolise that every 3 seconds a person in the world dies of hunger poverty etc. thanks for reminding me.

  • Google "snopes miniature earth".

  • MashALLAH, this is so wise

  • wow is all i can say.

  • Erm, I think more people then that have a computer and an internet connection...

  • lol 16 are non-religious, i didnt know there is so much non-religious ppl. hehe

  • thank you for putting global view in perspective.

  • Not all asians are Chinese. Not all starving people are Africans.

  • ☺ This Summer...200,000,000 people will disappear. They are the Malay Race (Filipino, Malaysians, Indonesians, Cambodians, Thais etc) They don't have Chinese eyes, they are an Asian Race that doesn't Exist in Hollywood. All Asian should be Chinese Japanese or Indians in Hollywood. WHY? F*ck it! ■■■■■►

  • you want to donate money and helping africa for example ok some years will ago and the rich nations would be poor too dont forget we worked for all our life

  • except the reason the 'poor' nations are poor is because the rich nations screwed them up because all they had was weapons and nothing else. the 'poor' nations had everything BUT weapons.. guess who wins?

  • except for your lack of education on why the poor nations refuse to progress because of religious reasons steaming 1,000 of years and failure to adapt modern technology, but ya we screwed them. Darwin anyone?

  • we are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • puts things in perspective....when you get bent out of shape because your coffee was luke warm.

  • wow

  • Hello!

    Dieses Video regt zum nachdenken an.Viele Menschen, mich eingeschlossen, sind NIE zufrieden mit dem was Sie haben und wollen immer mehr.Auch ich möchte gerne Dinge haben, die ich nicht habe oder nie haben werde.Aber ein solches Video hilft dann in regelmäßigen Abständen sich auf das was man hat zu besinnen.

    <b>Thank you for sharing this Video.</b>

  • thanx

  • this is what we need!!!!

  • Amazing!!!

  • hmm...

  • as i have said - 12 with a computer, but only 7 educated to a secondary level? how did they work that out.

  • The Global Warming theorists = Green Party puresists "Worse nightmare" is these poor multitudes becoming brought into the 21st century,Like for example industry,africans being able to flip on a light bulb anywhere on the continent and the rest of the World as well!

    People do not realise the "The Greens"=Global Warming Theorists (great controversy and debate of validity, among all scientists involved at least the exstreme urgency of "GLOBAL WARMING the 21st century straw man

  • Hi, you are a very selective person, everybody on earth can use renewable energys to do this, you need to expand your mind beyound oil company advertising.

  • LOL even rupert murdoch accepts the global warming sciene and is going to make his right wing propaganda corporations carbon nuetral

    global warming deniers are on par with creationists
