The point is that not that many people die from suicide, but even less die from murder, war and terrorism combined. The world really isn't as bad as the media portrays it. We're actually relatively peaceful people. Wow, you are really stupid. You tell me "You have a greater chance of killing yourself than etc.." I said "No I don't" You said, "hahaha than you want to kill yourself!! haha" Let's try to converse in the same language. I don't speak idiot. Brighten up, dumbass. | ||

I said "No I don't" You said, "hahaha than you want to kill yourself!! haha" Let's try to converse in the same language. I don't speak idiot. Brighten up, dumbass. Let me clear up any misunderstandings with some data from the Center for Disease Control. These are USA statistics. [URL="http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr52/nvsr52_03.pdf"] You will find the data here, specifically page 8 [/URL] You'll notice that in 2001 (the latest year for statistics). 30,622 people died from Suicide. Murder was 20,308. There are no statistics for war (there was no war that year, but let's be generous and include the Gulf war 1991 and current Iraqi war totals ~600 military deaths), let's add in associated terrorism from 9/11 ~3,200 and the Oklahoma city bombing. Let's add in another 1,000 for kicks and giggles. That leaves us with an approximate total of 25,108. As you can see still more than 5,000 less than suicide. These statistics vary during world wars and from country to country, but according to the CDC for more than the last 30+ years Americans have a greater chance of dying from suicide than murder, war or terrorism. | ||

No one is debating the fact that you are mentally sound. Here's another useless fact: * Single most harmful act you can perform to hurt the environment? Have a baby. | ||

The topic of the thread is Useless info we should know, which is a bit of a misnomer in and of itself. If it is useless info than why should we know it. If the topic was useless info that is funny than I see your point but it's not. You sound angry Shockey (are you a shock jockey (radio for all you noobs) who is part of the Shock media?). Perhaps the media of fear, see the post on Bowling for Columbine for Michael Moore's take on the media for more info, perhaps the media of fear has got you all pissed off because you think the world is a horrible place. Of course the media skews our view of reality. That's like saying our parents skew our view of reality, they do. Reality is a huge place and we can hardly know what's going on everywhere all the time so naturally our perception of reality is distorted by who and where we got our information from. In my humble opinion, I feel that prime time news in the US is primarily about war, murder and politics, hardly a peaceful or optimistic view of the world, but that's just my opinion what's yours? Lighten up man, give a friend a hug, pick a flower, tell your girlfriend you love her (you do have a girlfriend right?). Don't let the media get you down  hmm all i heard was "i have no life" | ||

More people dying from suicide is bad if you think most of the world is depressed on the other hand if all you hear about is war,terrorism and murder only to find out that more people die from suicide than the above three than that is an awesome statistic. It's awesome because when the news is telling us the world is a horrible ugly place with war, murder and terrorism the reality of the fact is you have a greater chance of killing yourself than being shot in a war, dying from an act of terrorism or getting sliced and diced via a homicide. I find that good news. It makes me think the world isn't as horrible as the news I watch makes it out to be. umm u are officially an idiot. You act like the newsman comes to ur house and says "Terrorists will kill you" no, its called defending our country so thousands of people lives aren't wasted because some towelhead thinks america is the great satan. Suicide and Terrorism is like apples and oranges, you can't compare them at all. Frankly, i could care less how many people die of suicide. They made the choice of the time and place to take their life. With terrorism, people were attacked with no knowledge what happend or how before one of the worlds tallest buildings collapsed on them, or some radical blows himself up killing more people. Bit of a difference i'd say. apples and oranges my friend.. | ||

Terrorism and suicide are hardly comparable except on a basic level and that is deaths. You are more likely to die from suicide than terrorism, fact. Don't try and bend my words or spin my ideas. I did not say dying from terrorism is good and suicide is bad. I did not say terrorism isn't a problem. What I did state is a useless fact, which I remind you is the title of the topic. Please try and keep your posts on topic. :cheers: Useless fact: Through plate tectonics Japan is moving closer to California at the rate of 3cm per year. | ||
