It’s amazing to see how things alter over time. It appears that we’re more likely to be beaten up by a stranger rather than an acquaintance now and it’s great to see how much safer the roads are now than they were 30 years ago.

Also, I don’t know if the person who made the “Crime, Age and Gender” graph was on crack, but s/he appears to show that the most crime ridden age is 5-10 years!

The promiscuity table is also rather fascinating: women’s promiscuity drops quite steeply in the 20-24 bracket whereas men’s seem to rise! I wonder if the two are connected and it’s the 20-24 year old males picking up on the younger group…

I have no idea what to make of the suicide statistics…I can see why perhaps women might feel they live more satisfying lives with the greater perception of rights, but men…? Maybe we need “Menism” to discuss how masculinity has altered socially, which means getting over the idea that all “man talk” is about sport and tits.

By the way, I might just be reading the table wrong, but it appears that heating is the biggest energy consumer..? Make the cling film option look more attractive…though I guess that’s oil too…
