(2,707 posts)you are helping the anti-refugee case very well. Pakistan has 200 million people, 9% of which makes 18 million people! Also, the percentage who are still deciding? Still fucking deciding on savagery??? 124 million right there. Those other countries have some bad numbers when you take into account how big their pops are.
