I think #1 is crazy because they are almost saying that if the world spent less than one percent on weapons poverty would end.

Number 1 is the the most shocking because why can't we buy less weapons and help the poor also why do we need weapons?Why isn't war avoidable? If war was avoidable then less people will be in poverty.

I think the most surprising fact is that the 7 richest people in the world could give up their money and there wouldn't be poverty in 41 countries.

I find that the one that says less than 1 percent of what we spend on weapons could get so many people money and food. They were all shocking but number one was the most.

The most shocking on to me was the last one because less than 1% of money spend on weapons would fix all of the facts he said.

19 was really interesting because almost everyone can read and write their name. 10 was really interesting as well. Because almost everyone would be like ahhhhh theres no internet what are we going to do!

Well, I am shocked with all of it but if I had to choose one, I think the most shoking statistic is that the 7 riches people make more money than poorest 41 countries combined, meaning if seven people give up their money, 41 countries wouldn't be in poverties. It is the most shocking for me because imagine how much people would be in the poorest 41 countries. (In the video, I think it said its 6.5 million people living in that 41 countries.

The most shocking statistic was about 22,000 children in poverty dying every day. It's so sad. All of the information was depressing though.

Number 1 because so many people want to buy weapons for war, when you could be using that money for the homeless.

Number one shocked me the most since less than one percent is a little and there are so many people living in poverty yet it can somehow solve all these people's problems so it makes me wonder that if we used one hundred percent of that money would the people in poverty be richer than us? Bye!

I think that the last one was the most surprising poverty statistic because if you just remove 1% all the other poverty statistics that were said in the video would be solved and that alone would be surprising if you heard that, you don't really think that just by removing 1% would solve that many poverty statistics, that just makes you think about how much money the government spends on war machines rather than poverty. That wasn't the only thing that I found surprising in the video I just picked that because I think a lot of other people would be surprised if they heard that the first time as well as I did.

I thought number 25 was the most shocking one, I know that there are a lot of people who has jobs and make money but only 20% of them make over $10.

I still think the most shocking one is how if less then one percent of money spent on weapons could stop all of the causes the guy said in the video. This totally blew my mind away and at first I thought I heard the statistic wrong.

I think number 7 was the most shocking because if those 7 people weren't so greedy there would be a lot less problems and a lot less deaths.

I think the most shocking statistic is the one where he said that less than one percent of money spent on weapons could stop so many causes. I couldn't believe that!

I think the most shocking is number 1. Because if the world didn't spend that 1% of money and put towards poverty then all of those problems would be fixed and there would be no poverty.

Number one was the most shocking because if the government spent less than 1 percent that they spend on their army would solve all of the previous problems.

I think the poverty statistic that shocked me the most is where if we used just under 1% of the money that goes towards weapons for war then we could solve the world's poverty. If it was just under 1% I think that these weapons are really, really expensive. Or maybe that these governments just buy a lot of weapons. Or maybe both!
