USA: Schoolchildren More Likely To Die Than Service Members (2018)

[minteK917]

I got the point. A dumb comparison.

No its a pretty good comparison, Soldier in time of peace has less chance to die THEN YOUR FUCKING CHILDREN AT SCHOOL LMAO. ARE YOU SAYING YOUR SCHOOLS ARE WAR ZONES NOW?

[Ghostpanther]

Sorry Trumpette. Your attempted deflection has failed. Anyone with common sense can see what the contents of the article mean.

Fact: Thus far in 2018, more kids have died at school than members of the military while in service. Take your failass Trumpette rhetoric somewhere else. That shit ain't flying here.

Typical response from a Trump hater. *comforts. Things are only going to get worse for you.

There is no agenda here. You are simply typical of a certain demographic that always wants to claim "false news", "cherry-picking", and "leaks!".

I wonder what 'demographic' I am for just wanting to be scientifically accurate? I guess it would be 'educated coastal elites'? Please tell me.

"Guys a lot of children are being shot in our schools."

"UMMM OKAY CHERRY PICKER NICE DATA (...NOT! LOL) STUPID FEARMONGERING LIBS LOLOLOL"

The mods on this forum will infract over the dumbest and most petty shit yet they won't stop shitposters. Then they wonder why their crappy forum is a community dumpster fire.

[Ghostpanther]

Only because it doesn't sit well with your view point.

Is this a good example of the pot calling the kettle black? lol!

If you want to twist words like that, I could just aswell twist your own words too and make you a supporter of war, USA imperialism, killer of innocents in USA-occupied countries and somesuch.

ITT: People are getting defensive because they don't like what the graph is showing them.

Hint: The article is scientifically accurate. One does not need data from anything except 2108 in order to assess just how out of hand school shootings have been recently.

I am not the one that started the bullshit rhetoric.

Yep..............

I would guess that the OP graph would tell a different story if it displayed % of students killed at a school shooting vs % of active military killed in 2018.

How many school aged kids are there in the USA (say 5~18 years old) during the Jan - May time frame, vs how many active duty personnel are there during the Jan - May time frame?

American Presidents already have a hard enough time trying to understand the Science behind Climate Change, what makes you think The Current American President and the current people He represents can even understand Scientifically Accurate Gun Statistics?

[Queen of Hamsters]

Only one thing for it.

Have kids sign up for Service rather than send them off to school. If you live in the US, at least.
Because I'm sure that certain somebodies will find ways to dismiss and defend this as well.

That's rich coming from you given that this thread is just 2 pages long atm.

[callipygoustp]

Thanks Trump!

[lockedout]

Ahh fearmongering, carry on.

[GrinningMan]

2018 has been deadlier for schoolchildren than service members



Rest of the article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.3516ce679d96


Brave people.

Welp, guess we should lower the draft to 13. At this point, what difference does it make?

[Dispraise]

Okay, according to that article there's nearly fifty times as many service members as students, actually bothering to account for that you get forty times higher mortality for service members, and they point out that 2018 is a statistical outlier for student deaths.

So, is that going to be addressed at all, or is this just another thread where everyone ignores the actual data in favor of hurling disingenuous insults at one another?

Soldier in time of peace ... WAR ZONES

I don't think you quite understand what these terms mean.

Most Presidents have enough sense to listen to their scientific advisors. Of course, when all you do is appoint people that reject science to every important scientific gov't post, it is obvious that the current President does not care about anything but what will line his pockets with more money. It is the only reason he ran for office in the first place.

[Sorshen]

Ahh fearmongering, carry on.

Yeah, it's pretty scary being in school right now.
