where's the real danger?

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq
Theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112
Deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. Is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same
Period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the
U.S. Capitol which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation,
Than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. Should pull out of Washington.

😱

murder (in general, not just firearms) 35-45 average per year per 100,000

Yeah, I'm not surprised. DC is pretty ghetto.

Lol that whole area is where I grew up in, its not bad in all areas lol.

but its a ridiculously flawed figure. tally up all the war-related deaths of citizens as well and then give me a figure. this is just a heap of chain-email dung

Unfortunatley, as PVS pointed out, your numbers are flawed. Also, it's unfortunate that some people might actually think that you have a valid point.

Lastly, I'm sure that any servicemen/women, having served in Iraq or currently serving in Iraq, looking at your smartass comment would think you full of sh*t.

Now Camden New Jersey on the other hand..

jk

Actually, he's probably partially right. It probably is safer to be a serviceman than a gangbanger (or in the vicinity of one).

You gotta look at where the deaths are coming from.

OK, you brought a sample to your title, let me bring mine. Everything is dangerous...all you do depends on the angle you're handling things, like driving, watch the lights, who's in front/next/behind, your reactions/reflexes/sensitivity of things to come...you know what I mean. I bet you do.

More people die by car accidents in the US each year then the attack on the Twin towers killed, shouldn't Bush have started a war on cars then instead of on Iraq? Or actually perhaps Cars wouldn't be the right thing, trains would be better seeing as they are somewhat related to cars but don't kill as many people....

WAAAA! HAAAH!!...not me though

define WHOB please

I'm back. The real danger is when you feel incapable, something tries convincing you that all about life is morality not peace but only after success. It is what leads people go on rampage so then can get arrested or just fail due to the blind rage with no time to cool and meditate about it. This is any case you can find for everyone.

Word, there are some parts of DC that are pretty rough but there's also good areas too like any other city.

I worked in DC setting up computer networks in schools for underprivileged kids in some poor neighborhoods. I remember one of the guys that was working with me needed to go to the post office one day and the guy who was on-site at the school and lived in that neighborhood, told him not to go alone.

He ended up going alone anyway and when I told him about it he said..'What? He ended up going alone. He's crazy, these people know me and they'll rob me!.'...lol...that guy was funny.

Oh, I also saw 2 crack heads go into a restroom together at the local McDonalds. No big deal except one was male and the other was female. Yep pretty crazy shit goin down in DC man. One of my boyz is out there now, and so far everything's cool with him.

2. Psuedo-intellectual moron who lacks debating skills, humor and common sense.

3. Sad individual so desperate for affirmation, and attention, from others that they are willing to humiliate themselves on web forums using multiple socks.
