    9-11 reality check - How many people die a day of _________ ?

    Yes, we all agree it was a very dark day for America, and a sad day for us all. However, lets keep it in perspective and not lose touch with reality. There are many, many other things that also deserve your attention.

    About 822 people a day die from obesity.

    About 24,000 people die a day of world hunger.

    Almost 16,000 children die a day from hunger

    Around 1479 people die from cancer a day and 3483 new people are diagnosed with it.

    Around 4000 people die a day from having a stroke.

    Globally, around 8500 die a day due to an AIDS related death.

    Over 100 Iraqi civilians die a day, courtesy of the US military.

    In the USA, every 12 minutes, one person dies because of a car accident.

    Every 1 second, someone dies from either murder or suicide. That's 1440 a day.



    This list could go on forever. Yet none of these deaths get anywhere near the same amount of press that 9-11 does, if any press at all.

    If you have any stats for deaths per day, please share.

      Please don't tell me you are comparing that list with the tragedy of 9-11.

          Over 2 GFY Poster's career die each day from posting

          yet other figures

          http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=53103
          ILLEGAL ALIENS Murder 12 American Citizens EVERY DAY

          http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/...nce-deaths.htm
          More than 18,000 adults in the USA die each year because they are uninsured and can't get proper health care


          But seriously, there is a huge difference and to start comparing numbers like this is unwise. You can try and compare children killed each day by attacks vs. swine flu - doing comparison's totally eliminates the horror that is being the attacks on kids. It's more than just numbers

                  How many of those deaths have a profound impact on the world economy?

                          To trivialize the death of ANYONE for the sake of keeping a supposed grasp on reality is asinine. Intelligent people see the tragedy in any and all of the things you listed, claiming to be no more important than one or the other.

                          The key difference however? Those lives were lost in an attack against US citizens by a foreign body or organization.
                          About 822 people a day die from obesity. NOT CAUSED BY AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK BY A FOREIGN BODY OR ORGANIZATION

                          About 24,000 people die a day of world hunger. NOT CAUSED BY AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK BY A FOREIGN BODY OR ORGANIZATION

                          Over 100 Iraqi civilians die a day, courtesy of the US military. Tragic and if I was an Iraqi I would agree with you.

                          In the USA, every 12 minutes, one person dies because of a car accident. NOT CAUSED BY AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK BY A FOREIGN BODY OR ORGANIZATION

                          All life is precious but tragedy is remembered, defined, and gauged by the circumstances that surround it.

                                  Just because people die every day of other causes, does not excuse the reason that the people on 9/11/2001 died.

                                          Of course not.... But when you spend trillions chasing something that kills a few thousand and then hardly anything that kills millions you might start to wonder if your priorities are misguided.
                                          I don't endorse a god damn thing......

                                              the cancer and stroke stats are pretty bad, luckily treatment is on the up and changing lifestyle habits can decrease the risk!

                                                          shit school you went ....

                                                          1 minute = 60 seconds

                                                          1 day = 24 hours

                                                          so I death every second equal for the day:

                                                          60 ( secs ) x 60 ( minutes ) x 24 ( hours ) = 86400

                                                          I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                                                          But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                                              About 822 people a day die from obesity.

                                                              About 24,000 people die a day of world hunger.

                                                              Almost 16,000 children die a day from hunger

                                                              Around 1479 people die from cancer a day and 3483 new people are diagnosed with it.

                                                              Around 4000 people die a day from having a stroke.

                                                              Globally, around 8500 die a day due to an AIDS related death.

                                                              Over 100 Iraqi civilians die a day, courtesy of the US military.

                                                              In the USA, every 12 minutes, one person dies because of a car accident.

                                                              Every 1 second, someone dies from either murder or suicide. That's 1440 a day.



                                                              This list could go on forever. Yet none of these deaths get anywhere near the same amount of press that 9-11 does, if any press at all.

                                                                                  That's the biggest tragedy.

                                                                                      First of all... Can you read? Any of you? I said there are many other issues that also deserver attention, where more people are dying and it can be prevented. Read my first sentence 7 or 8 times until you understand the words within it. Then I was asking for other stats. Honestly, try understanding the words you read before you post.

                                                                                      However, since so many of you got your panties in a buch, 9-11 is just ONE DAY where Americans finally get to know what it feels like to be an Iraqi. Iraqi has 9-11 every day, thanks to the United States. Imagine if this happened every day here. Every day, in several cities, over nothing.

                                                                                      Originally posted by blazin

                                                                                      Exactly.

                                                                                      Not only spending trillions of dollars that you don't have, but killing 100s of 1000s of people who had nothing to do with 9-11. What's up with that? Oh yea... OIL is up with that.

                                                                                      If the Gov spent 1/2 of the money trying to fight cancer (or any of them), as they did fighting these two useless wars, they just may be able to beat them and save millions of lives around the world. Though, there is more money in cancer treatment so that's not going to happen.

We can't "pay attention" to all that stuff each and every day - no one would ever get anything done. Meanwhile, planes being flown into buildings doesn't happen every day. Why can't you just let some people pay respect on this day? What difference does it make to you?

You can have it, or what's left of it.

Congrats on being such a cunt. How does it feel to be such a worthless coward, too big a wuss to even let strangers know who he is on the internet? Truly pathetic.

Why are you all "praying" today like you give a shit. I posted similar numbers before having read this thread.

                                                                                                                                                  Left and right wing alike RIPPED me to shreds (or they thought they did anyway, I personally don't give a fuck)

                                                                                                                                                  Seems they did a good job getting everyone to band together. And guess what tomorrow no one will give a fuck about 9/11 OR all of the other tragedies you listed.

                                                                                                                                                  Why? Because people are sheep and only talk about this when others do. If today everyone instead was worried about pink rabbits killing all the brown ones EVERYONE would have an opinion either way.

                                                                                                                                                  Human beings suck shit and don't give a shit, but then get mad as shit when we question their motives... and shit.

It's a tree in the forest falling thing. The only reason anyone cares is because they have been told to.

But going over it every year isn't helping. I feel that it's time to let people remember in their own way. IE we will all think about it and remember, but not do the memorial and bump the thread every year. I also think that Brits need to let the 7/7 bombings go.

                                                                                                                                                                          This sounds awful and un-caring - it's not. I walked next to an IRA bomb less than hour before it went off so I know what terrorism can do. That shit me up for a long time. I also lost a friend in a nail bombing that was targetted at a London gay bar. Neither of these are as "big" as 9/11 but the priniciple is the same. By going over it so often, we are spreading fear and letting terroists interfere with out lives.

                                                                                                                                                                          That's wrong. You can't let them win.

                                                                                                                                                                              Right. It doesn't make sense to kill so many over so few. Of course, they are not killing them out of revenge, they are killing them over oil. Still, it's not right.

Why are you all "praying" today like you give a shit. I posted similar numbers before having read this thread.

                                                                                                                                                                              Left and right wing alike RIPPED me to shreds (or they thought they did anyway, I personally don't give a fuck)

                                                                                                                                                                              Seems they did a good job getting everyone to band together. And guess what tomorrow no one will give a fuck about 9/11 OR all of the other tragedies you listed.

                                                                                                                                                                              Why? Because people are sheep and only talk about this when others do. If today everyone instead was worried about pink rabbits killing all the brown ones EVERYONE would have an opinion either way.

                                                                                                                                                                              Human beings suck shit and don't give a shit, but then get mad as shit when we question their motives... and shit.
