I thought that it might be useful to record some very useful and interesting statistics on subjects of interest that crop up in this forum.
The following report gives some extremely interesting comparative world statistics across all continents and 47 countries:
Pew Global Attitudes Project (October 2007)
Chapter 1: Views of Global Change
Chapter 2: Views of Immigration
Chapter 3: Views of Religion and Morality
Chapter 4: Values and American Exceptionalism
Chapter 5: Views on Gender Issues
Chapter 6: Views on Democracy
Chapter 7: Where People Get Their News
Chapter 8: Computers and Technology
Further recommendations on useful, reasonably current stats would be welcomed.

But, isn't it true that something like 57% of stats are made up on the spot. . ..

It's a little closer to 54.3%...but that's if you blame "The System" If you blame "Society", you're correct the number is around 57%Message edited by author 2008-03-19 10:47:36.
