I forget, did Argentina win that war?

It can't be sold in the US like that! It needs to be longer, wider, auto-only, and have plastic bumpers and ground effects.

Buying a $70k car on a $100k salary is the sort of lack of prudent thinking that should get young executives fired.

Wouldn't long term growth and profitability please the shareholders?

You might be assuming a great deal about my assumptions. All I was I saying that while you are less likely to catch one, its more likely to kill you once you catch it.

More likely to kill you if you get it. In other words, Ebola is the angry bear of disease world. Not particularly dangerous, unless you are near one.

Clearly you should be telling them that ISIS is attacking the highways and poisoning cigarettes and junk food with Ebola.

Yes, and you are much more likely do die in a car accident than to be killed by an angry bear, unless you are locked in a cage with an angry bear, of course. If you see a guy in a cage with an angry bear, it is unhelpful (and somewhat impolite) to tell him that on average, he is more likely to die in a car…

edit: more likely to kill you if you actually get it. Which you wont. Probably.

I'm mostly in agreement (especially about the driving part). Thing is, I (myself, so small sample size) haven't encountered anyone yet who was panicking about Ebola. Not saying those people aren't out there, just haven't come across any. I have encountered many who sneer at the idea of being cautious about the…

I wish the statistics were better. Would be interested to see how many of those were young and healthy vs old and/or immune compromised.

You are absolutely correct in your phrasing. Your chances of catching the disease are miniscule. Your chances of surviving if you do catch it are extremely not good.

19-what? Did they even have people back then?

You're right, I didn't realize it until I heard your eloquent argument. I bow my head in defeat and give you all my internet points.

Funnily enough, I'm standing in line for a flu shot. Stop making a mockery of statistics. The chances of being injured in a motorcycle accident, to take an example, are not uniform, but depend rather heavily on whether the subject rides a motorcycle.

Not by percentage of infected, and certainly not by percentage of healthy infected people in the first world.

Well sure, but for flu to be dangerous, your immune system has to be weakened, and/or you shouldn't have access to modern medical infra structure. If you are young, healthy, and in the first world catching the flu isn't dangerous, unless you happen upon some rare strain. Meanwhile, the same young, healthy person in…

Got to tired of having to constantly adjust the volume between too loud sound effects and too quiet of a conversation. Killed the experience. "What was that he just said?" "Oh god, loud rocks!"

In fairness, its somewhat more likely to kill you than the flu.

The VW Jetta. This was supposed to be a small car with extra germaniness that made it sporty and fun to drive. I wasn't sure what that meant, but I heard it so often, I just had to try it.
