This is basically meaningless, as national boundries and a raw figure for GDP tell us virtually nothing about actual economic performance. For example, Republic Ireland has a low GDP, but also less than four million people, making them incredibly rich. Brazil, on the other hand, has a huge GDP, but none the less, too many people and a rigid class system, making it an incredibly poor country.

What a waste of an image.

More examples: Australia, Indonesia and Argentina get the same colours. But Australia is a developed economy, Indonesia barely has basic infrastructure anywhere, and much of it is how you would have found it hundreds of years ago. The cities are poor as dirt and full of sweatshops though. And Argentina is undergoing a major economic crisis that’s lasted years. At one point they froze all the bank accounts in a desperate attempt to keep the country from going completely under. Luxemburg – which has the highest per capita GDP in the world, is the same colour as Burma and Ethiopia.

Epic useless image completely lacking in context, Iddq, and only an economist with other sources of information to compare this to would find this informative. Your attempts to give your wacky conspiracy theories an air of legitimacy by randomly copying images from wikipedia has failed. Much like everything else you do.

HOW TO LIE WITH STATISTICS!
When you set the lower bound of the highest slot to 2000 billion and put no upper limit you can nicely group China (2644 billion) and USA (13194 billion) to the same slot.
This list is more interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29_per_capita

Wow, that totally doesn’t jive with the UU mellow groove I’d come to associate with you, rawr. Are you from some marginalist SS-sponsored branch of the UU because if so, I can totally get behind those black uniforms if not your disturbing ideologies.

old arguments dont really solve anything do they?
February 11, 2008 at 5:22 pm
given from the fact you gave up on our last one

And your right, I apologize for not putting up for the psuedo- intellectual bullshit standards you try to make everyone put up with.
February 11, 2008 at 5:41 pm
lol the rare triple post. I win. I’m gonna go find some sunglasses so I can look as cool as I am right now.

*you’re. *Pseudo-intellectual is better than real intellectual apparently (not really).

@caio
lol the not so rare tactic of yours that involves ignoring the truth for the sake of being an asshole
@ schulzbrianr
be it positive or negative, I seriously have no idea what you just said.

What truth? You lobbed a b-rate ‘u phail’ at me, and my well executed troll milked a panicked triple post out of you. While Socrates would be proud, I’m sure (proud of me, that is), I really don’t see how either of us is really broaching the issue of truth or falseness.

Hmm, if the non-existant scale of post success measurement you tried to blast me with gave my post a B, I’d say your post would fall into the contruction-work-as-a-future-job-ensured D-. At most, that is.

I’m gonna take a guess here and say c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-ombobreaker

ahh. The completely unnecessery 17-c’s just lowered your score another couple of points in the game of who-wants-to-be-a-internet-tough-guy. Or in your case, life.
