If I had shame..

I do apologize for you lack of reading comprehension. It's most unfortunate to lack even the most basic concepts of understanding. Let me try and draw a map. Iâll even type slowly so itâs easier to understand.

A. Poster asks if they are over-reacting to a group that's killed, presently known, at least 7 people and they may or may not be related to said group.

B. I post groups that have killed well over 7 people and continue to operate in power by groups such as Americans who continue to allow our government to operate with little restraint and those other countries that allow their groups to commit acts of violence unchecked as well.

C. Now letâs take A + B and come up with C. Should I worry? Given that your chances of dying are greater from killing yourself (not that Iâm making any suggestions mind you) (reference: http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm ) and from heart disease it puts a things into this thing most of us rational people like to call perspective.

6.the faculty of seeing all the relevant data in a meaningful relationship: Your data is admirably detailed but it
lacks perspective.

C 1. I.e. you have a far better chance being killed by your government (US mainly), yourself (suicide, dietary etc) than you do by the hands of the âArmy of Godâ.

D. Because I didn't say it was wrong is there an ASSumption that I think it's not wrong in comparison? So tell me why do you support child molestation, beating spouses, and kicking puppies? Obviously do because you didn't refute such in your post!

Facts are such an inconvenient speed bump on the road to wringing hands worrying over nothing trip that I can see why you'd choose not to listen to any of my arguments. I guess we're both fortunate enough to live in a country where you can be ignorant and everyone will sympathize with you on the interweb. It's little wonder why reality television is such a big hit these days.

And might I suggest if your local college or univeristy offers classes in statistics and mathematical analysis you sign up as soon as possible.

What could provoke such wrath from me? This response:

So? It's still wrong.
Besides, most of us have learned a long time ago not to listen to arguments made on the internet by people with screennames like "<edited>".

Right. Because having a certain screenname should instantly put my arguement into question. People, this is but one example of the youth of our country. We are screwed.
