Members bolty58 Posted February 14, 2012 Members Posted February 14, 2012 Here are a few you'll love. More folk trying to use stats to win an argument. This is one statistic that you should pay attention to .... In as much as your life revolves around your doctor?s appointments. (A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. ( Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000. © Accidental deaths per physician is 0.1714 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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) ( The number of accidental gun deaths per year, for all age groups, is 1,500. © The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.00018 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. This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quote
Members bolty58 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Members Posted February 14, 2012 WTF happened there? It usually converts to site text preference? Sounds like I am shouting like Crampo! Quote
Guest Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 120,000 deaths a year caused by doctors? Sounds a tad high that Quote
Boothy Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Don't worry, it'll drop once Shipman moves out of the averaging bracket. Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 14, 2012 Site Supporter Posted February 14, 2012 How many people go and see the local hoodlum with a serious medical condition. Incidentally, no deaths have ever been redorded due to metoerite strikes on a person. So when asteroid no. 3.141592654 comes hurtling towards earth- no worries! Quote
Sweep Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 the population of the US is around 300M, I'm not having it that 1 in every 3.75 people owns a gun either Quote

no balls Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Is that some sort of justification for owning a gun? Quote
Crawley Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 See, you go all sensible and agree with me about the town centre and then post that! Quote
frank_spencer Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Is that some sort of justification for owning a gun? It's a been used as part of Ron Paul's (Republican potential candidate) bid propaganda against 'Obama-care' Quote
no balls Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 It's a been used as part of Ron Paul's (Republican potential candidate) bid propaganda against 'Obama-care' American politics. I tell you, their system really is the envy of the world. Makes you proud to be British. As for Paul: A US representative for Texas who likes killing people. Who'd have thought it. Quote
BOWTUN BAKED Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Asteroid Pi? I thought that, then realised it was 0.0012644887 short of Pi !! Maybe a bit broke off the crust? I'll get my coat. Quote
