The statistical odds of dying this way are so small they are not worth worrying about. Homicides per 100,000:USA: 5.35World average: 7.03Philippines: 11.02South Africa: 33.97https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/murder-rate-by-countryThe worlds a safe place. All countries are getting better in this regard.
Ah, OK. Now I see. So people are actually safer in:Sudan 5.16Angola 4.85Pakistan 4.41Somalia 4.31:)
Oops, sorry. I should have said: Less likely to be gunned down in the street.Actually Somalia looks quite nice. Healthcare is probably cheaper than the USanyway.
I know you think you're making a good point and looking clever, but you're really not. You really need to learn how to choose your examples. You could have compared other OECD countries to the U.S., but instead you trotted out countries with spotty record-keeping and sustained violence and no-go zones. It doesn't help your case, it weakens it because it makes you look too stupid to understand the concept of "incomplete and unreliable data"
Ive lived in America for a long time and have never been shot at, nor has anyone in my family. I also dont have any friends who have. And I know a lot of people.
OK, let's do some simple math. Although maybe a bit over your head.
The problem is you have to adjust for population, which you didn't.Also, the definition of "mass shooting" is anytime more than 4 people are shot, not necessarily killed. The problem is that people, (often dipshit Euros), look at this statistic and think that means there's hundreds of Columbines a year, and thinking because they can do basic math, this makes them experts because they are leftist/European and therefore they are making a smart observations. Adjusted for population, your odds of being in a mass shooting in America are vanishingly small.Anyone with a brain who is actually able to process risk rationally would understand that your biggest threats in America are obesity and heart disease, automobiles, opiates/drug overdoses and diabetes.
Haha, oh man. We are going way back to first year stats here. What do you think this means:Homicide Rate per 100kThis takes population into account. You obviously have no idea of university stats. This isjust a question, but, did you finish high school?
OK, let's do some simple math. Although maybe a bit over your head.365 days a year. 230 mass shootings so far this year. This comes out toa mass shooting in the US every 1.59 days. Or about one every 36 hours.And this is just May. These numbers will get even more horrific as theyears goes on.Is this what you mean by "sustained violence"? I'm glad we have sucha brilliant mind like yours to point these things out.
