IgoSoHard? seems that he worships God, and calling God a liar is blasphemy :(

I admittedly have the dumbest name on here, the unfortunate decision of a drunken fool 10 years (crazy) ago. You can call me Lando, mate

this is all fear mongering. the greatest threat to the US is sugar, fat, guns, botulism, etc. all greater risks to the loss of human life.
if this was voyaging's general statement, that gun violence among other things (such as bad foods), pose a much larger number of deaths, than he was correct and that statement shouldn't be compared to his most famous "i'm so sick" quote. People just look past the actual body count because "ISIS goal is to wipe us out", whereas my goal to tongue punch Kate Upton is never taken too seriously.
I mean, we have about 5,000 people killed per year just by food poisoning, let alone those killed by cardiac arrest from a poor diet or lung/mouth cancer from tobacco products. the only reason to take ISIS's pledge to wipe out the US seriously is a heavy dose of illogical fear, they're nothing but a fly to a horse.
it's not hard for an honest person looking to pragmatically identify risks to life rather than risks to pride or a sense of safety.
Yeah, sugar, fat, alcohol, cigarettes all take more American lives than ISIS. Grass is green. The difference is those things aren't making the cognitive decision to kill people, it's a direct result of over-consumption. If people stopped smoking cigs, death by cig-related deaths would come to a screeching halt. The same thing can't be applied to ISIS. They're actively engaged in killing as many non-believers as possible. Nothing we do is ever going to stop their ideology. That's why they're a threat. Do they have as big of an impact on deaths in America as alcohol or cigarettes ? Of course not man. However it's foolish to dismiss ISIS because of that, just like its foolish to claim the NRA is the biggest terror organization on the planet. That was more or less my point snipa, not to say ISIS has any real chance to topple the U.S, just that they're a real entity out there that is bent on causing terror throughout the world. I for one, don't see the NRA in the same light.
