So what?

How many years did it take electricity and telephone service to reach most of the earth?

Nigeria probably has less down time than our does.

Gee what % don’t have flush toilets

Oh no...no internet access for 52% of the world's people? OK, let's tax Americans to give North Koreans free access to all of the internet, but Kim JunkUgh would never let them have it, so it's a non-issue.

The UN is a worthless Anti-American group....

A Mercedes? No...if I was greedy, I'd demand a Lykan HyperSport. I wouldn't​ want to drive a common car if I was demanding a car, but that 3.4 million dollar auto. (Comes with 240 15 carat diamonds as the headlights)

[Chode]

so what, they don't have indoor toilets either...

The UN just announced that 52% do not have internet? Wow!! I guess I'll ask my parents to cancel our internet and our data plans, because why should Whites be privileged with internet??

How many of those 52% are in dictatorships, who won't let people be free to voice their opinions? Of course the UN, being a bunch of AntiAmerican jerks, thinks that we stole the technology from the 52%.

LOL, what is funny is that here in Thailand there is more access to the internet than flush toilets. I can literally get 4G in the middle of a rice field here, but avoid the bus station toilet:

While not the true photo, the pic is representative of what to expect. Best option when traveling here is too look for 7-11 PTT Gas stations which are fairly common.

GET A JOB AND SAVE THE MONEY TO PURCHASE IT. WE ARE STILL PAYING ALBORE’S PHONE TAX FOR THE SAME OLD CRAP LINE OF WHINE IT’S SO UNFAIR.

MANY AREAS ON THE WORLD DON’T EVEN HAVE CELL PHONES. THEY LIVE PRIMITIVE THE WAY THEIR ANCESTORS DID FOLLOWING A SET MIGRATION PATH YEARLY. THEY CAN’T AFFORD A CELL PHONE OR BUY A COMPUTER, OR HAVE CELL TOWERS. THE 50% IS MORE FAKE LSM NEWS, WANT TO BET BESIDES FEEDING THEM, WE’D HAVE TO PAY A IT TO TEACH THEM HOW TO USE ABOVE ITEMS.

NO ONE PROMISED YOU A HORNLESS ROSE GARDEN. In stead of aborting 66+k babies PER YEAR, there are childless couples who will to become parents, government just makes it a terrible ordeal to adopt.

Looks like an upgraded latrine to me. ;-)
