Gawain 0 #1 October 29, 2007 I heard about this on the radio this morning...thought it was funny...but there's a point in there somewhere. Basically, everyone that dies, ate at some point recently prior to their demise...reminds me of "Fight Club"..."On any given scale, the survival rate is zero."... http://americandaily.com/article/20747 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,603 #2 October 30, 2007 Just remember, the dinosaurs all ate natural food, and they're all dead. So load up on Twinkies Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

It's clearly an unchecked addiction of epic proportions. All of us, upon being born, took that first breath, and we were hooked. Everyone that is dead was breathing. There's clearly a connection. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Butters 0 #11 October 30, 2007 Poor diet and physical inactivity caused 400,000 deaths in 2000. Quote(2000): "The leading causes of death in 2000 were tobacco (435,000 deaths; 18.1% of total US deaths), poor diet and physical inactivity (400,000 deaths; 16.6%), and alcohol consumption (85,000 deaths; 3.5%). Other actual causes of death were microbial agents (75,000), toxic agents (55,000), motor vehicle crashes (43,000), incidents involving firearms (29,000), sexual behaviors (20,000), and illicit use of drugs (17,000)." (Note: According to a correction published by the Journal on Jan. 19, 2005, "On page 1240, in Table 2, '400,000 (16.6)' deaths for 'poor diet and physical inactivity' in 2000 should be '365,000 (15.2).' A dagger symbol should be added to 'alcohol consumption' in the body of the table and a dagger footnote should be added with 'in 1990 data, deaths from alcohol-related crashes are included in alcohol consumption deaths, but not in motor vehicle deaths.

Ban in order of importance: 1) Tobacco 2) Junk food & La-ZY-Boy Recliners 3) Alcohol 4) Microbes 5) Toxic agents 6) Cars 7) Guns 8) Sex 9) Drugs Hmm, guns are all the way down there at number 7. Logically, we should have to ban the first six before we get to guns. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
