     A fine example of a crusade against intellectualism.

c'mon Dibbz, you know that's not a real "choosing"






Wow, that's a poorly designed graphic.

Indeed. What does anything represent?

Very roughly speaking the arc swept by each sector is proportional to the % of women in the country that believe it's OK to be abused.  Thus Iraq at 59% is roughly twice as wide as Haiti at 29%, which is roughly twice as wide as Honduras at 15.5%.  So instead of a pie chart basd n 100%, it's one based on 731.8%, which isn't pie shaped and has some funky graphics to further confuse the issue in misleading ways.

     Also, Serbia's slice looks just as wide as Belize & Kazakhstan's slices do, even though the percentage in Serbia is about half of what it is in the other two countries.
