Over 16,537,822 people are on fubar.
What are you waiting for?
There are six risk factors identified that are numerically connected with an increased chance of committing intentional violence:
1. Being male
2. Access to firearms
3. Alcohol abuse
4. History of childhood abuse
5. Mental illness
6. Poverty.
I love how this means that roughly just under half of the population is already predisposed to an increased chance of violence. Strike one for me... access to firearms? Strike two. Geez. Alcohol abuse? Well, I don't "abuse" it but I do drink it occassionally...I'll give myself 2.5 out of 6.
Anyhow, just thought this would be some good food for thought. Hope you learned something today!
