In the Wake Of Belgium Terrorist Attack, Obama Declares Slipping in Tub More Dangerous Than ISIS

And stating 'you are more likely to die from' in no way means, 'so all the other ways of dying are meaningless'.

Yes we have to fight Isis and every other cowardly group who only feel powerful by killing other human beings. And we do so with all due hostility.

But their whole purpose is to 'terrify' the west into thinking this a mortal threat. It isn't. It is a threat for sure. Our purpose should be and is to stop EVERY attack they may plan. But it isn't possible to stop them all. The same as it is not possible to stop the mass shootings that take place in America by Americans. You do EVERYTHING you can, and you learn from each incident.

But it's a dangerous world. Always has been and always will be.
 
Obama remains a low-life apologist for Islamofascism.

Oh shut up you tedious parrot.

Chances of Dying in a Terrorist Attack (Number) | TIME.com
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:

  • 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 Forces of Nature (earthquake, heat, cold, lightning, flood): 1 in 225,107
  • Dying from Choking on Food: 1 in 370,035
  • Dying in a Fireworks Accident: 1 in 1,000,000
  • Dying from a Dog Bite: 1 in 700,000
  • Dying from Falling off a Ladder: 1 in 2,300,000
  • Dying form unintentional Alcohol Poisoning: 1 in 820,217
  • Dying from a Heart Disease: 1 in 5
  • Dying from a Cancer: 1 in 7
  • Dying from a Stroke: 1 in 23
  • Dying from Electrocution: 1 in 5,000
  • 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
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).

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:

  • 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
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.
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.


what exactly is racist about wanting everyone treated equally? what is racist about wanting no special treatment or benefits based on race, sex, ethnicity, or sexual orientation? What is racist about holding each person responsible for his/her own life?

the racists in this discussion are you on the left who judge people based on race, or even worse, you allege that all successful people are evil and became successful at the expense of others.

You denigrate Trump for his business success while you praise the Clintons for their ill-gotten riches. you are the very definition of hypocrisy.

Please show me where I denigrate trump for business success or priase the Clintons for anything at all. And then when you can't because I haven't I'll accept your apology for being so narrow minded that you can't even adress a single person without pigeon holing them with opinions you have decided they have. Which is probably why you know NOTHING about Islam, and should probably shut up about that too.


here. your words "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."

And where is calling trump a billionare denigrating him? I reckon he'd rather like that and he'd as thin skinned as they come. I typed moan instead of man when I was denigrating Ted Cruz for being slimy (he IS slimy though) but I do not denigrate Trump for being rich. I don't believe that a billionare should be able to buy his way in to political office, that's by no means denigration.

Did you not bother to actually read what I typed?


they ALL buy their way into political office. The only difference is that Trump is using his own money and wont owe any favors to financial backers. Whereas Clinton, Sanders, and Cruz will all be owned by their financial backers.

I read what you typed, it just didn't make much sense.
 
Hey....everyone....pay attention.

Terrorism is like slipping in a tub.

And the fact that terrorists are killing hundreds of people in France and Belguim means that Obama's plans are working.

So there. The problem is solved.

It's like their claims that when it's too hot....it's Global Warming....if it's too cold....it's still Global Warming.

Whatever happens just means their plans are working wonderfully.

And here is the problem in a nutshell. Someone SO stupid that they can't get their head around climate science so it must all be made up because their teeny tiny little mind can't get round the complexity. Next thing, religion. Jesus Good, Mohammed Bad.


the climate of planet earth has been changing for hundreds of millions of years, it will be changing hundreds of millions of years from now, man has never had anything to do with and is incapable of reversing, delaying, or stopping it.

AGW is a hoax perpetuated by clowns and liars

I agree 100% with you when you say that the climate of the earth has been changing for millions of years. I find it really annoying that we wring our hands whenever a freak weather occurance happens and chastise ourselves that we are wholely responsible for it happening and that before fossil fuels were burned every day was nice and sunny with a little rain in the early evening so the plants would all grow.

The claim that global warming is a hoax is evil bullshit though, the surface of Venus is hotter than that of Mercury despite being further from the sun because of its CO2 atmosphere. Just because we can't predict with absolute precision year on year what will happen if we dump ton after ton of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doesn't mean that we should with impunity. Anyone claiming that is an idiot, and barainwashed to a degree every bit as bad as hysterical carbon zealots, probably a lot worse.


CO2 makes up .039% of the atmosphere. It has been that same % for hundreds of millions of years. Human beings are not destroying our planet. the hysterical zealots are the ones calling coal and oil evil and demanding that we all live under rocks and eat worms.

that would be, rational and intelligent, and I am, unlike you.
 
"campaign of fear" the new dem/lib talking point. We get it, libs. We understand that you all get your talking points every day and every one of you is obligated to post the exact same bullshit as fast as you can.

you are nothing but brainwashed parrots, totally incapable of individual thinking.

That isn't true. There's no other way of saying it, just utterly untrue. The CO2 level is low as a percentage but that is utterly beside the point, if I fed you food that was that low a percentage Cynide you'd still be unhappy about it.

41 people died in an IS attack the other day.

No one gives a damn. It didn't happen in Europe or America.

The chart has its source data printed on it. You are so blind that you don't even believe science that is spoon fed to you. You know what that reminds me of, takes I hear from North Korea. People so indocrinated in scientifically impossible lies that they reject the truth laid out in front of them because it doesn't fit inwith the world view that has been painted on their blank canvass of a brain by the people who control how they think.

Obviously not.
 
Using Obama's logic, he should now announce that it's not a big deal when a cop shoots a black teenager as black teenagers are for more likely to be shot by other black teenagers than by cops.

Why would he need to state the obvious
That's a conservative malfunction.
