We must ban doctors, not guns!

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors
before this gets out of hand.

really...120,000 accidental deaths caused by physicians a year:Q


Seems kinda high. Could you post a source for that please....besides the NRA.
 
removed

I´d like to see the numbers for one year with no doctors, like how many people with gunshoot wound will die then.

I think banning lawyers would be much better




 
Czar, I got your idiot...sick of you going around posting insults all the time.

As for the facts, I just received this in my email and thought it was funny; sorry if you don;t share my views...move on, idiot.
 


<< yeah, and doctors go around killing people on purpose too >>


Damn, where do you get those guns? Mine just lay there and do nothing... I must have bought the wrong ones!
 
Czar, nice edit job...want a screenshot of your insulting comments? I have been gathering them, as you go thread to thread posting crap like that...PM if you want some screens.


I guess people who post things you don't like are idiots...idiot.

 
..judging from the number of posts you have, sir, ditto.

I check the boards over coffee...you troll to insult people. Who doesn;t have a life?


btw, the screen is in the mail.

<< figures lie and liars figure >>


if you believe that then why don't you come up w/some figures that dispute it instead of just crapping on his figures???
 
&quot;Czar, I got your idiot&quot;

You also lack intelligence! 😛 Sorry, couldn't resist that one! 🙂

BTW Helpless - your original post here just proves that statistics can say anything you want. 🙂
 


<< 60% of statistics are made up.
20% of people know that.

Beginning to believe that one unquestionably.. Anyone know if these are factual numbers because most emails like these are unsupported.. I see a lot of emails similar to this that aren't really backed up by real facts, like one of them saying drinking lots of water can replace exercising (water is good for you but it won't replace exercise regardless of how much of it is ice)..

I wonder how the deaths are calculated? I would also say that for that low of a number it shows that guns can be safe if put in the right hands and it looks like at least 60 million of those gun owners are safe people in the accidental death sense, as for intentional deaths who is to know..
Either way it's something to think about, always verify you have a good doctor.. I think I'll post that BS &quot;water equals exercise&quot; and numerous other sugar coated facts email if I can find it..
 
Czar says he's in Iceland. What else is there to do but troll?

Drunk driving kills more than guns, but they don't ban cars. More people die of cancer and heart disease than AIDS, but the liberals demand that we spend more and more for research on something that can be prevented through less-risky lifestyle choices!
 


<< Czar, nice edit job...want a screenshot of your insulting comments? I have been gathering them >>


wow you need to get out more.

btw, your post was funny. but i can't believe you take screenshots like that, lol

You have something against medical research? I have never heard &quot;liberals&quot; say &quot;go have a lot of sex, cause we are going to develope a cure for AIDS anyway.&quot;
