Work hard to keep these people out of my bus stops, my town etc. Enjoy yourself now Mr. Cultured idiot. It looks Jina got out of wise words, and went to the crap. Even in modern democratic countries on election day barely you find so many people participate in the election, why people are not aware of the election process, but they don't want to vote.In spite of this, the candidate who gets higher vote win. In the same token, 21 sites were candidates for open vote. Every concerned person world wide is invited to vote, and in fact voter mounted to 100 million, but whoever doesn't cares to vote, it is his/her problem. there is a say" if there is a will, there is a way" so, whoever willing to vote he will find the way.

People who sit on their asses as you mentioned are doing so because of poverty in their countries, lack of education and work opportunities.. I really don't believe it's because they are lazy and enjoying a sun tan!! Many of these people live in war zones with corrupt governments, it is a day to day fight to survive, I really don't think we can even comprehend what they go through while sitting comfortably on our big couches in our air conditioned comfortable homes.. so pleeeaaaase.. don't judge... Going back to the topic, Only around half of the world's population owns mobile phones, latest study reported by Reuters http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSL2712199720070627 and only 3% of the population of Africa use the Internet 2% of middle east population use it while 36% of Asia's population use it (highest) You can find out more in this site http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm Now that is all clear, I am not convinced with the outcome of the 7 wonders of the world. I'd rather have specialists from different parts of the world voting and giving their professional opinions based on knowledge and science. By the way why is it 7? why not 8,9 or 10? Mohammad, not everyone in the world is as privileged as you and me.. People who sit on their asses as you mentioned are doing so because of poverty in their countries, lack of education and work opportunities.. I really don’t believe it’s because they are lazy and enjoying a sun tan!!

Going back to the topic,
Only around half of the world’s population owns mobile phones, latest study reported by Reuters
http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSL2712199720070627

and only 3% of the population of Africa use the Internet
2% of middle east population use it
while 36% of Asia’s population use it (highest)
You can find out more in this site
http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm

Now that is all clear, I am not convinced with the outcome of the 7 wonders of the world.
I’d rather have specialists from different parts of the world voting and giving their professional opinions based on knowledge and science.
By the way why is it 7? why not 8,9 or 10?

And about my belief that people who don't have computers or mobiles , should work harder to get them ... Bob Geldof and his friends could organise Live 8 concerts every year and raise millions and millions of dollars and send them to continents like Africa, but that would never change the reality and reduce proverty in Africa a tiny bit!!, you know why... Simply, because citizens of Africa need to work their asses off for their lives to change, change must come from within , the way I see it, the people are just sitting on their apathetic lazy asses doing nothing, waiting for the world to act every time there is a crisis there, and I'm sorry if my beliefs are provocative to some of you!

When everyone in the world has a computer and a cell phone, then your reasoning is valid, as long as majority don't even have a phone, then no no. And the finalists were chosen not by the citizens but rather a committee, kinda like the Iranian democracy. It doesn't work, so it must be chosen by those who know what hey are doing and not letting the "citizens of the world" choose. Ohh don't say citizens of the world because citizens of the world weren't involved in this process.

I disagree, I think it was better left for the citizens of the world to decide than just some committee, whose decision could have been biased and unfair!
