Chance % Mccain will die during office

[flyingimam]

No obviously you don't just because something is more probable doesn't make it a fact that it will happen. There is always a chance for something. The chance the world won't end tomorrow are high, but what about the day it really does end? It is always possible and debating on chance is foolish. Better to debate about things that are a little more concrete.

thats the whole point of statistics, it gives you a better idea

if I said you have a 75% of dying tomorrow

you can say anything can happen and its chance bla bla bla
but fact would be that 3 times out of 4 you would die

to deny any claims that aren't concrete is like saying lets drop everything we can possibly talk about a lot of politics is abstract anyway

statistics are very useful in helping us make decisions about abstract ideas and concepts

I am not denying anything. I agree there is a chance McCain can die in presidency just like there is for Obama, but for that to a major factor in my vote is ridiculous. I am not a person for chance. I believe that everything that happens was meant to happen and that no matter the chance it will happen.

I rest my case :thumbsup:

everything that happens was meant to happen is a loaded statement with no real merit and not falsifiable dunno why you would believe in something that can't be disproved if your so meticulous in your facts

but the chance of mccain dying is much higher than Obamas and im looking at it from a Obama vs Mccain, Biden vs Palin argument, I would be fine with the 3 but not Palin, she is just Bush 2.0 I can't deal with that

anyways im gonna drop the issue peace love and :stoned:

I saw no point repeating what revanche had already written, i quoted (gave credit) and would have said the same exact thing if i wanted to respond to your initial denial about what i said "u dont know statistics" and counter-claim that i dont know it, u know? didnt wanna get into it in a personal way and still wont, this is just for clarification. i have no other comments regarding this thing

didn't wanna hurt no feelings, just merely was trying to rationally criticize a claim that had been made. sometimes my str8forwardness looks rather harsh in text, but i cant help it...

Peace n :stoned: as revanche said

[apocolips31]

Man..... This is going around in circles. You can't criticize someone for not knowing about statistics when what they are saying is statistically possible... It is not if McCain living is some .0000034% chance.

Plot to assassinate Obama uncovered

The Associated Press

U.S. authorities said Monday they have broken up a plot to assassinate U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in Tennessee.

In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted two neo-Nazi skinheads' plans to rob a gun store and target an unnamed but predominantly African-American high school.

The skinheads, reported to be of 20 and 18 years of age, did not identify the school by name, said federal agents.

The two men planned to kill 88 black people and decapitate an additional 14, said Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as their final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

"They said that would be their last, final act â?? that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."
