US Life Expectency Rates... Surprisingly Low
« on: July 28, 2006, 07:27:31 PM »
According to the CIA, the US ranks 48th overall for life expectancy:

https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2102rank.html

We're actually lower than any major European Country from my brief review.  The list doesn't explain why this is, and the number difference is slight... but still we're supposed to have the most advanced medicine in the world.  My guess is the high stress rate knocks us down a few pegs.

I blame George Fuckin' Bush.  GOTTA be his fault. 

Ours is messed up for all kinds of reasons.  Black on Black crime, mainly... isn't the black male life expectancy something like 24 years average or something?  That's horrible.  I'm a white guy, i'll bet mine is higher than the 77 or so they have listed there. 

Good thing they don't consider aborted children human beings, or it'd really lower the life expectancy.  We'd be at like 40yrs or something.

The average black male in America has a life expactancy of 69 years actually (in 2003).

Yup, All these fat fucks are driving it down. It just people in America have bad eating habits in general. Me included, but I do my best eating healthy when I can. It's just so hard when all your friends and family eat shit around you nonstop lol.

And LMAO @ black male life expectancy is 24. Maybe in some parts of Africa, but not in the US.
