Benicio del Toney Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 So I caught up on QI properly last night and Stephen Fry was talking about some things which made me think. He asked "Where are 1% of American adults?" The answer was jail. America has imprisoned more of it's citizens than any society in history. 1 in 13 men between 20-34 are in jail. for Black males it's 1 in 9. There more 17 year old black people in jail than in college. It reminded me of what Flojo and Ulysses were saying about America, all in all America is 1 big fail. Add yours.

HangTheDJ Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 We have similar issues though, just because America is worse it doesn't detract from how overly punitive our country is. Some of our prisons are 189% of capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbmc Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 not really a shocking fact but a list of countries ranked by order of freedom of travel afforded to their citizens, without needing a visa, for instance UK citizens are able to travel to 166 different countries without requiring a visa, whereas Afghan citizens are only able to travel to 26: http://www.henleyglobal.com/citizenship/visa-restrictions/ thought it was mildly interesting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
