How long is....

JEK717

I just had to share this with everyone because it just blew me away. It found all these facts and realized...how long is America going to last? I have no sources to show you about these facts but if you type in the needed information on any computer you will see these same results. They may not be perfect but you know what..who is perfect? Just open your eyes a little...

The frightening truths of the United States of America. How long will we last?:noway:

Every day::noway:
3700 unborn babies never get to breathe their first breathe, God’s precious gift to every one. These are future police officers, doctors, lawyers, janitors, teachers, sales reps. These are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, fathers and mother…..gone.

45 people are murdered each day. These are someone’s mother or another’s boyfriend. Someone’s potential father and aunt. Someone’s best friend and another’s parent…..gone

40,000 people are killed in car crashes each day. These are children and friends. Cousins and sisters, brothers, uncles, grandparents and enemies...in a blink of an eye…..gone.

36 people are killed by drunk driving each day. That is 36 less mothers and fathers, 36 more families who cry each holiday. 36 lives that unwilling were forced to leave this world one day to early. 36 very loved and unique people…..gone.

2185 children go missing each day. 2185 little girls in their sunflower dresses and little boys in their shorts with patched up holes. Future mechanics and babysitters, future mail boys and Olympic winners….2185 children…..missing.

Per Year::noway:
Every year billions of people become depressed. And every year OVER 1 million people find that they no longer have a reason to live. Ever year OVER 1 million people find that their number is up, their straw has been chosen, the last hill climbed. Every year OVER 1 million people find they have no shoulder to cry on. Every year OVER 1 million people make their choice and then they are…..gone.

Every year hundreds upon hundreds of drugs are prescribed or paid for at the local pharmacy. Every year 13,800 people take one to many pills…..gone.

Are we as Americans innocent to these facts are just plain ignorant?
Are we naïve or simply not listening?:frown:

Even if 1M people die a year simultaneously, and the birth rate were to suddenly stop, it would take approximately 6000 years to extinguish all life on the planet. No one now would be alive to really be astonished by those numbers.

I first off stated that i have no facts because i knew that everyone would jump all over me like last time. I did have facts from sources online but i did not save them. And as to what FearAnLoathing said: Yes i realize this happens all over the world. Yes i realize that murder came into this world by Cain and Abel and yes i know it is always been like this. I am simply pointing out a sad truth that i think some people should think about and began to do something about it. We can all do something to lower these rates, whether spending some more time with people we know are depressed to not drinking while driving. I simply showed this statistics because i found them to be very interesting.

And i am not saying that within in the next year we are all going to be dead. Just saying that to get peoples attention. Why not comment on how interesting it is???

I think people are very aware that this happens.Since almost everyone has been touched by atleast one of those statistics in their life.But yeah I do agree there is stuff everyone can do to lower the numbers

I realise that this is a harsh truth, but people have to die. There are too many of us.

The mortality rates in "Western countries" are significantly lower than in other places. We should be grateful.

I find this all very interesting. Many people are as you said ignorant or just not listening. How many people are wiling to stand up for what they believe is wrong? Not many people will stand up any more because they are afraid of "sounding races" or being judged and having all the politically correct people up in their faces. Correct me if i am wrong but why does every play the little playground game of "well i know more because"....why does everyone have to gang up on people because they state something that you do not agree with. How do you know that you are more correct in your line of thinking that someone else? The quarter always has two sides.

I also think you have a lot of guts stating that you have no sources. You are upfront and honest. Anyone with a brain can go look up the information for themselves if they wanted to know more. Hello internet. You were just trying to spark an interest to get people to do just that.

I don't see any "ganging up" here. Statistics or not, throwing statements around without any data to back them up is irresponsible.
Remember "Eating apples causes cancer?"
I also fail to note any political correctness or anyone sounding racist in their posts. You make a valid point with "the quarter always has two sides," Please be advised I am making a point with the following statement: The Nazi's also had their point of view. It sure as hell doesn't make it right.

Just my opinion of course,
