Today, Over 24,000 children died around the world

Over 24,000 children die every day around the world.

That is equivalent to:

  • 1 child dying every 3.6 seconds
  • 16-17 children dying every minute
  • A 2010 Haiti earthquake occurring almost every 9-10 days
  • A 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring almost every 10 days
  • An Iraq-scale death toll every 16–40 days
  • Just under 9 million children dying every year
  • Some 79 million children dying between 2000 and 2007

The silent killers are poverty, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related causes. In spite of the scale of this daily/ongoing catastrophe, it rarely manages to achieve, much less sustain, prime-time, headline coverage.

What has happened to Greece

Greece The Country that discovered Western Civilization is in a Chaos that will put them in debt for more than 100 years

There bankrupt - because of there governments "mismanagement of running that country" - borrowing and spending more than they should have done and the government now cannot "repay" the loans it borrowed in the past - and its peoples are revolting against the Greek government for allowing it all to happen as now the peoples will have to accept huge restrictions in their daily lives - less spending money-no pay rises-more taxes to pay etc..

Government corruption has played a big part in there downfall - and they were a "defunct country" before they were allowed to join the EU who never ever saw all this trouble coming - and there are other countries in the EU who are going to be in the same mess very soon now - Portugal-Spain - so the UK taxpayer will be having to "help bail out all these failed" EU countries - no matter we are in trouble ourselves.

And still these UK "defenders" of this now "defunct/failed EU system" say its a "good/great idea" the UK being a member country.

There are so many ex "despot 3rd world European countries" that have been allowed to join the EU system - all wanting there share of the "free-bee money handouts" - there reason for wanting to join - it was a disaster just waiting to happen
