Obama remains a low-life apologist for Islamofascism.
Oh shut up you tedious parrot.
Chances of Dying in a Terrorist Attack (Number) | TIME.comMaybe the Sect. Of State should declare war on bathtubs....or that they are the most dangerous thing we face...The secretary of state declares global warming as the most serious threat and the president thinks the potential fall in a bathtub to be feared more than ISIS. Didn't he see the horrific beheadings or the burning alive of a man in a cage? Tell it to the victims of terrorist bombings who have nails and hardware imbeded in their bodies or the relatives of people who have to be identified by their DNA. Elitists in the democrat party who are protected by bodyguards literally tango while the world burns and pander to monsters for a couple of votes while the rest of us remember 9-11 and live in the real world.
1 in 20 million
— Chance of dying in a terrorist attack in the United States from 2007 to 2011, according to Richard Barrett, coordinator of the United Nations al Qaeda/Taliban Monitoring Team.
Here come the daily headlines of Al-Qa’eda, Taliban, ISIS, and all the lone wolf attackers out there from Pakistan to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Nigeria, France, Belgium, USA, Canada and list goes on and on.
Projected and orchestrated by media, sometime it seems “terrorism” is the only cause of unnatural death that we face. And lives of millions of travelers suffer due to this inevitable “threat”. There were 2.84 billion commercial air passengers in 2011 alone with only 373 fatalities, so one’s chance of dying in the commercial jet is 1 in 7.6 million.
With the emotion-less and analytical brain that I got, I wanted to put things in perspective. Statistically speaking, here are few odds of dying with the causes:
And odds of dying in a terrorist attack while on-board is 1 in 25,000,000 (25 million) and the overall average of dying in any kind of terrorist attack worldwide is 1 in 9,300,000 (9.3 million).
- Drowning in a Bathtub: 1 in 685,000
- Fatally Slipping during a Shower: 1 in 812,232
- Being Struck by Lightning: 1 in 576,000
- Being Murdered: 1 in 18,000
- Dying from any kind of Injury: 1 in 1,820
- Dying from intentional Self-harm: 1 in 9,380
- Dying from an Assault: 1 in 16,421
- Dying from a Car Accident: 1 in 18,585
- Dying from any kind of Fall: 1 in 20,666
- Dying from Accidental Drowning: 1 in 79,065
- Dying from Exposure to Smoke, Fire, and Flames: 1 in 81,524

- Dying from Choking on Food: 1 in 370,035
- Dying in a Fireworks Accident: 1 in 1,000,000

- Bee, Snake Venomous Sting: 1 in 100,000
- Scalded by Hot Tap Water: 1 in 5,000,000
- By Falling Coconut: 1 in 250,000,000
- By a Shark Attack: 1 in 300,000,000
- Dying of a Snake Bite: 1 in 3,500,000
- Dying from Food Poisoning: 1 in 3,000,000
- Dying from Accident at Work: 1 in 43,500
- Dying in a Road Accident: 1 in 8,000
So in contrast, you are 14 times more likely to die in your bathtub than in a terrorist attack, 11 times more likely to die by slipping during a shower, 16 times by lightning, 517 times more likely to be murdered (there is on average one murder every 60 seconds worldwide), 991 times by self-injury, 500 times in a car accident (3,000 people die every day in road accidents worldwide), 450 times by falling, 118 times by accidental drowning, 41 times in natural disasters (earthquake, flood etc.), 25 times by choking on food, 13 times by a dog bite, 4 times by falling off a ladder, 1.8 million times by a heart disease, 1860 times by electrocution, 93 times by bee sting, and 3 times more likely to die by a snake bite or food poisoning.
If not convinced, here is another interesting set of statistics:
So, you have twice the chances of becoming an astronaut then flying in a plane doomed to crash due to a terrorist plot, almost the same chances of becoming a president than dying in a terrorist attack (isn’t it ironic?), three times more likely to sight a UFO today, 14 times more likely to win a gold medal in the Olympics, and 106 times more chances of dating Kim Kardashian.
- Odds of being an astronaut: 1 in 13,200,000
- Odds of winning an Olympic Gold Medal: 1 in 662,000
- Odds of becoming a President: 1 in 10,000,000
- Odds of sighting a UFO today: 1 in 3,000,000
- Odds of dating a Supermodel: 1 in 88,000
A Data Scientist Explains Odds of Dying in a Terrorist Attack
So what you're telling me is that the shrill crowing of all of the racists on here is statistically garbage? And whilst they're all screaming about a threat that is no threat at all the rich still get richer, a billionare is about to buy his way in to the presidential title race (ahead of a moan so slimy he makes GW seem like a decent moderate candidate) and the bread and circuses of the 21st century rolls on as unstoppably as ever.
Good to know.

"Psychologically, why does the truth hurt?
It appears, actually frequently seen, the truth always hurt, even if not deliberately meant to be.
I come to the conclusion of why us Humans get offended when the truth is being told. Of course not that everyone is the same, but majority of Humans seem to get piqued when someone deviates from an incompatible point of view. This unremarkably occurs on the Internet and not just in person with opposers."
