Statistics

[Peenyuh]

Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.

Now think about this:
Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80
million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous
than gun owners.

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT
ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

There are lies.

lol...Peenyuh thinks doctors were created to kill people.

[Peenyuh]

Steam sucks. I loaded it and the ping on all my previously loaded games jumped up past 200. Don't even wanna know why. Tossed steam. Enjoying my stuff once again.

Also: Docters WERE created to kill people.

What? Are you a doctor all of a sudden? You, as a moron, are not qualified to diagnose someone else as a morn.

There is a correlation between ice cream sales and rapes. Not all statistics are meaningful.

There was once a statistician who drowned walking across a river with an average depth of 4 feet.

Numbers like those in Peeny's post don't mean much, but its an effective way to sway people who can't think beyond them.

[GONNAFISTYA]

Although with Somalia I think that number is going up.

accidental deaths from guns may be lower, but what about purposeful deaths.


more importantly, how many lives do doctors save?

how many lifes do guns save?

Of course it's stupid. It's a fucking joke you soulless system slave drone worker monkeys. Shit jokes are still jokes. Cripes, I know Peenyuh's a few genes short of humanity's last evolutionary phase but that's no excuse to go banana bombing him like Kongs on donkeys because you didn't get that IT'S A FUCKING JOKE

Priceless.

Oddly enough these jokes you speak of are used all the time in the states as real arguments.

There is a correlation between ice cream sales and rapes. Not all statistics are meaningful.

There is also a correlation between usage of radio and insanity

I remember from statistics class that the production of steel or summat in Germany was also correlated with which party would win the elections in Germany, which is also, obviously, nonsense.

Just two random examples of a plethora.

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

Some people are just really really dumb.

Damnit, I knew the pirate incidents were tweaking at some memory I had... cheers, that's cleared that up

[Doombrain]

Didn't you move back in August?

[[xeno]Julios]

while this doctor/gun statistic may be misleading, it has nothing to do with equating correlation with causation.
