🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To 40 RIDICULOUS GEOGRAPHY FACTS!

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

Lakes are land-locked and are fed by rivers and strams. Seas are only partially landlocked, and tend to be fed directly by oceans. For example, Lake Okeechobee here in Florida is completely enclosed in land, but is fed from the waters of he Kissimmee River, Fisheating Creek (which is actually a river), Taylor Creek (which again, is a river), and Istokpoga River. On the other hand, the Carribean Sea (which includes the Florida Straits, the Gulf of Mexico, and Yucatan Channel, is directly connected to the Atlantic Ocean even while its shaped by Florida, the Mexican penninsula, and the islands of the Carribean themselves. The Caspian Sea is called a sea because of its immense size, but it is, in fact, just a lake.

Great information, thank you.

[@annfrost3323]

Oceans have salt water. Rivers and lakes don't.

[@AdamNisbett]

@@annfrost3323most don’t. Some lakes (usually ones that have no outlet) do have salt water. Notable examples are the Dead Sea (which is actually a lake) in the Middle East and the Great Salt Lake in Utah.

1) Another obstacle to Africa's economic development, one that might not be fully appreciated, is its weather. Except for tiny countries like Singapore, plus the Arab oil states, nearly all of the wealthiest and probably all of the most economical diverse nations are located in temperate climates. Without the conveniences of modern life, most people in a hot climate have little time or energy left after providing the basic necesstities of life. 2) Both Luxembourg and Ireland have relatively low tax rates on corporate profits. Giant companies like Apple "cook the books" so that legally their massive global profits were earned in these two countries, or other tax havens. I don't know of any other reason why they have the two highest GDP-per-capita in the world. 3) I googled the factors which determine the "Peace Index." Among the 23 they use, these contribute to the low U.S. score--number of foreign wars, per capita prison population (world's highest), military expenditure as a percentage of GDP, active military members per capita, volume of weapons sold overseas (world's highest), number of nuclear weapons (second to Russia), and civilian ease-of-access to firearms (no comment).

[@gotham61]

A lake is an inland body of water that is usually fresh (not salty) water. A sea is a body of salt water that connects directly to an ocean, and ocean is a large body of salt water that lies between multiple continents.

Well said Kabir. Corruption and mismanagement have cost Africa and her people a lot. The Continent is well endowered with both human and material resources, yet it is the poorest Continent on the face of the earth. The leaders have economically, socially and politically bankrupt their people while living lavishly.

Ha! My brother taught in the Congo region when it was Zaire, and the first language he had to master was, indeed, French, followed by Lingala and Mbaka. I'm spelling those phonetically. As for the peace index, we, in the U.S. are always invading.

[@deborahmgkunze4104]

Although I hadn't really thought about it before, I wasn't surprised to learn that Kinshasa is the largest French-speaking city in the world. The DR Congo is enormous, and was a Belgian colony. French is the official language, since the country is made up of so many different tribes with so many different languages. I spent most of my childhood in the DR Congo -- when it was still Zaire. Funny side note: When it came time to pick a language to take in high school, I wanted to take Spanish, but because we were in the Congo, my parents insisted I take French. But I've spent 15 of the last 23.5 years within 40 miles of the Mexico border, and now live only 27 miles north of it (in the US), where Spanish would be so much more helpful to know. I still tease my parents about that occasionally. 😄

@@SilvanaDilThe USA has been responsible for starting the most wars out of any country in the last century, whether intentionally or not. To name a few countries the USA has started a war with are: Cuba, Iran, Afghanistan(more than once), and Iraq. And countries the USA made start civil conflicts include Cuba, South Africa, and Iran. The idea that the USA provides “security and prosperity” is laughable and only someone wholly ignorant of their own countries foreign relations would think. There’s a reason that most of the Middle East, lots of Africa, and a multitude of other countries dislike the USA, it’s cause they are nosy warmongers that have little to no regard for anything but their own interests.

[@Scottshodgepodge]

We here in the US have been kinda involved in some wars in the fairly recent past so that ranking doesn’t stun me. lol

[@kevinbrown-ge6sz]

Several European countries have been involved in the same wars. If you look into how the index is computed it looks suspiciously like they are adding categories to make the US finish poorly such as nuclear capability, defense spending, number of military personnel. Many of these categories can just as easily be described as peace keeping.

[@EmpressMermaid]

I has a lot to do with military spending and size of military.

[@gregorybiestek3431]

5:50 Kabir, you asked how many and what was the world's population over 50, well figures are kept a little differently. There are 1.8 Billion people (23.1%) age 40 to 59 in the world and and additional 918 million (11.8%) between 60-79 with a further 147 million (1.9%) aged 80 to 99. Combined that would be approximately 2.72 Billion or 36.8% of the world population between the ages of 40 and 99.

[@sherryheim5504]

The US has their dirty little fingers in everybody's pie. I swear there is no potential conflict too small for us to get involved in it. Obama alone entered 7 conflicts in his 8 years and accelerated our involvement in Afghanistan (and he received the Nobel Prize for peace). While he talked about how he was removing troops from Iraq, he was moving more troops into Afghanistan. I can't help but believe that our representatives have a financial stake in war, be it stock in manufacturers of war planes or weapons, the building of bombs or even the food for our military, it seems clear that there is definitely a high motivation for entering the US into conflicts. We don't call them war anymore but in my opinion, if we are occupying a country and bombing and killing innocent people, it is war.
