Very good. That attitude is what lost you people the last presidential election, keep up the good work.

Great, this would mean that Black children overwhelmingly grow up to be more racist and homophobic than any other group. Sounds about right to me.

That is not 'attitude' it is a study based on fact. Facts are stubborn things.

But your reaction to your facts is indeed attitude, and when you spend so much time looking down you nose at people, your disingenuous opinion of them bleeds through.

You love to stereotype people.

Definition; Stereotype

Something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment

And just how long have you been white trash?

I am not looking down at the poorly educated. I feel bad that they do not have the ability to understand when someone is trying to take advantage of them.

They fall prey to people who are more sophisticated than they are.

They make poor decisions because of their limited experiences in the outside world (outside of their limited sphere).

Unfortunately their are too many people that take advantage of people that do not understand that just because someone says something over and over does not mean it's true.

Please don't insult or call people names on my account; some people have no other recourse than to insult and call people names.

Its not their fault; they are victims of a society that could not teach them better.

And your only problem is when the people who influence them don't agree with you.

BigWahoo Loc: Kentucky

Perhaps it is that I don't agree with them.

Twardlow Loc: Arkansas

Could you document where these figures are from?

I notice suicide isn't on the list, but I'm appalled at the number of medical mistakes.

Over all, I suspect these numbers; please tell us where you got them.

I may have posted in error, I was posting to the person who refereed to someone else as a two toothed hillbilly. I felt the comment was unwarranted and simply wished to point that out.

Every Death You Take

A list of statistics showing the leading causes of death in the United States through June 2016 includes some questionable aspects.


A graphic purportedly showing the leading causes of death in the United States during the first half of 2016 was widely circulated on Facebook in June 2016, its most eye-catching feature being that the number one entry was abortion while the lowest-ranked entry was murder by firearm:

(causes of death graph goes here...)

The list was problematic in several aspects, however. First of all, the displayed figures for 2016
are simply projections based on past trends, as up-to-date information of this nature simply isn’t available. The most recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concerning causes of death tallies mortality data from 2014.

Second, although this list (put together by the web site Romans322.com) relies heavily upon mortality data compiled by the CDC, that organization does not record abortion as a cause of death. The leading causes of death in the United States in 2014, according to CDC, were heart disease, cancer, and respiratory disease:

Heart disease: 614,348
Cancer: 591,699
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 147,101
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 136,053
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 133,103
Alzheimer’s disease: 93,541
Diabetes: 76,488
Influenza and pneumonia: 55,227
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 48,146
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 42,773
During that same year the FBI recorded 8,124 murders by firearms in the United States, a statistic that would indeed rank below all other entries on this list.

The usefulness of this information to make a point about gun issues is somewhat questionable, however.

None of the entries on the list save for the last involves intentional killing, while nearly every other entry on the list other than the last references some form of medical malady. It’s an inescapable fact that everyone who manages to avoid being killed (intentionally or otherwise) by someone or something else first will eventually die of some sort of medical condition.
