Number of physicians in the US: 700,000. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000. Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services) Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000. Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500. Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188 Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. "FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one Doctor." Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. Remember: guns don't kill people, doctors do. Oh, and you might want to remember that half of all doctors graduate in the bottom 50% of their class in Medical School! ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.
Fact: 100% of all hard core drug users started on milk. Studies have shown that milk is a gateway to every single kind of drug use. Ban milk! remember: Think of the children! ------------------ I figure the odds be 50/50, I just might have something to say.
That is the dumbest logic I have seen concerning this issue as of yet. on the guns, not the milk. I agree with milk banning. ------------------ [This message has been edited by JayZ750 (edited July 27, 2001).]
40% of all sick days are taken on Monday and Friday. lol Go tell that to your friendly Human Resource Diretor and see how long it takes them to figure it out.
I'm serious...fax is fax. ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.
This is a blanket statement that is not statistically accurate or factual. The numbers provided are interesting and do make one think, but to argue they prove, statistically, that doctors are more dangerous than gun owners is not a fact. On top of it all though, I dont know if I beleive the numbers either. But I wont argue their factuality. ------------------
Humor disclaimer: This was just inteded to be a little humorous. While I can't determine the accuracy of the figures, I just thought I would pass along a funny email a buddy sent me. ------------------ In the end there will be no judges...only witnesses to my greatness.
Didn't someone else start a thread about this already? Maybe I'm just hallucinating these threads... ------------------ So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Don't worry, I'm beginning to think I'm hallucinating this whole bbs... ------------------ "Colson makes a mockery of the PG position. It's like he's out there playing 1 on 9." -- pippendagimp with some candid player evaluations.
