Everything you thought you knew about sharks is wrong!

It will be exactly the same as today, buying Japanese built cars.

Without the A-bombs, the war will last two more years and 1 million more dead soldiers before victory.

 

It might be worth adding that Florida is "infested" greatly with alligators showing up almost everywhere for quite some time. No calls to exterminate them are sounded, even though alligator killings will continue to occur.

The danger to sharks is exactly as described above, from money, not fear.

 

It's not the fact that most Americans don't understand simple statistics; it's the fact that they're PROUD of the fact that they don't understand simple statistics is the reason this country is in the economic shape it's in.

 

Liars figure

 

And ignorance is bliss, right?

 

International Shark Aattack File

"The file contains information on over 4,000 shark attacks and includes detailed, often privileged, information including autopsy reports and graphic photos. The file is accessible only to scientists whose access is permitted only by a review board."



Over 4,000!!!!!


plus classifications like this

Eric Reichardt, 42September 16, 2001Unconfirmed, probably a bull or tiger sharkThis death was officially classified as a drowning by the Broward County, Florida medical examiners office; however, it is listed as a fatal shark attack by the International Shark Attack File. Drowned while diving on the wreck of the Ronald B. Johnson in 270 feet (82 m) of water 2 miles (3.2 km) off Pompano Beach, Florida fighting off a shark. His regulator may have fallen out of his mouth causing him to drown

 

I find it hilarious that you are trying to use the details of one attack to prove that sharks are statistically dangerous.

Lets see, besides the 2001 attack you detailed there were 3 other fatal shark attacks in Florida waters between 1990 and 2007: 1998, 2000, and 2005.

I don't argue that sharks don't attack people and kill them. I just don't worry about it when swimming, snorkeling, or diving in the ocean. Attacks are so rare the possibility doesn't concern me. On the other hand I'm not going to try to pull a shark's tail or feed one a snack. Common sense is required just like with any other potentially dangerous animal.

 

OMG! in 2007 there were over 37,000 fatal auto accidents! OVER 37,000!!! I better not ever get in a car!

For those of us who love these wonderful creatures, you can symbolically adopt one from the WWF and get your own plush shark!

 

It's intended to mean that shark attack numbers are unreliable.

Sharks are dangerous. You're a hot orderve to them.

 

So, you're saying your "Over 4000!!!!" number is unreliable?

No one here ever said sharks are never dangerous. Guns can be dangerous, too; I assume you're in favor of an all-out ban on them because of this?

 

Ahhh, but the garnish makes all the difference between a pedestrian meal and a special occasion. Anyone can microwave Hors d'oeuvres, it's the garni which elevates the hors.

 

This thread is almost as good as the one where someone claimed that the Nazi's liked black people.

 

Humans have known sharks are dangerous and know to stay away from them, so the number of shark attacks are low. Only those who thinks sharks won't bite will get bitten.

A few weeks ago, a woman was shown on TV feeding and petting a brown bear showing bears are friendly to human, how foolish.

 

ok... this thread got long fast. my only comment

sharks are jus like any other species on this Earth, including Man, in that, when something invades their environment, they protect it and themselves in anyway they know how.

no species is more deadly than Man...no species is even close

 

It's a shame because of Spielberg's movie something gets labeled a evil thinking killing machine and people will avoid an activity that is relatively safe. To avoid driving just because you could statistically have a fatal encounter with a Peterbilt is absurd.

Lucky that he didn't have a accident for 20 year, but statistics stacks against him. The longer he runs (the business), accident is going to happen.

Wild animals or sharks are unpredictable. One more example, there was a lion in the MGM hotel in Las Vegas many years ago, the lion was in there for tourist to take pictures next to the lion. The lion has only a chain tied to his neck. He was there for over ten years. One day he decided to attack and mauled a woman. That's the end of his professional life.

Steve Irwin, the famous crocodile hunter, was killed while swimming with the non-human eating stingray.
