The numbers don't lie.
Percentages make me nervous, especially when dealing with large numbers of people.
For instance about 4% of the population are sociopaths. In Canada, that means about 138,000. In the U.S. that's 12 million or so. If only 1/100,000 of those are capable of murder, or worse yet mass-murder or serial murder, that means there's at least 1 operating in Canada and 120 within the U.S.
Almost 10% of the population has an IQ under 80. Again, that's about 3.4 million people in Canada; about 31 million in the U.S. (I'm sure most of them watch Fox News.)
Someone tried to tell me that 1 in 5 people are gay, but that number seems awfully high. I mean, there are five people working in my office and I don't think any of them are gay. (I'm rooting for Bob though, cause I think he's kind of cute.) I believe the numbers are more along the lines of 3.8% of Americans and 1% of Canadians who identify as gay.
Is it any wonder the U.S. is having trouble passing laws allowing gay people to marry? I mean, the gay community is outnumbered almost 4:1 by sociopaths and people with limited intelligence.
Of course I guess a person could belong to all three of these groups. Just my luck some gay mass-murdering moron will read this and take offense—well, after someone sounds out the big words for him/her.
