Kevin's Watch

When I first logged onto the link above I was only interested in an estimate of the current population of the U.S. but then something hit me that I found disturbing...

Could you imagine watching this happen second by second for an hour or a day or even a year. Every 8 seconds watching a new birth but then every 11 seconds watch someone die in all the possible ways that might happen.
I thank God that in reality this is simply impossible to watch because I'd lose my mind after about 10 minutes.

Order for about 100 seconds: pop-blargh-pop-blargh-pop-pop-blargh-pop-blargh-pop-blargh-pop-pop-blargh-pop-blargh-pop-blarghpop-pop-blargh

Why did I do that?

how did you come up with the 10 minute time limit for losing your mind? was it a controled experiment?

That was a guess. In reality I'm guessing it would be a far shorter period of time...perhaps -43 years.

well that makes you sound more humane.

In Serbia, there are 250 000 abortions a year! Serbia has only 6 000 000 people living in it! That's a scary thing. Population in Serbia is reducing by 50 000 a year!

That's too bad, Lord.trax. I remember hearing a few years ago that Denmark is facing shortages in their workforce due to abortions as well.
