Oh – It’s Only Least-Educated *WHITE* People Who Are Dying Younger
I guess what can be extrapolated from this data is that minorities need not concern themselves with getting an education. Being dumb is only deadly to white people.
For generations of Americans, it was a given that children would live longer than their parents. But there is now mounting evidence that this enduring trend has reversed itself for the country’s least-educated whites, an increasingly troubled group whose life expectancy has fallen by four years since 1990.
Researchers have long documented that the most educated Americans were making the biggest gains in life expectancy, but now they say mortality data show that life spans for some of the least educated Americans are actually contracting. Four studies in recent years identified modest declines, but a new one that looks separately at Americans lacking a high school diploma found disturbingly sharp drops in life expectancy for whites in this group. Experts not involved in the new research said its findings were persuasive.
The reasons for the decline remain unclear, but researchers offered possible explanations, including a spike in prescription drug overdoses among young whites, higher rates of smoking among less educated white women, rising obesity, and a steady increase in the number of the least educated Americans who lack health insurance.
The steepest declines were for white women without a high school diploma, who lost five years of life between 1990 and 2008, said S. Jay Olshansky, a public health professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the lead investigator on the study, published last month in Health Affairs. By 2008, life expectancy for black women without a high school diploma had surpassed that of white women of the same education level, the study found.

Of course the Great White Dieoff happened under Bush’s presidency.
Like everything else that’s wrong in the universe, it’s BUSH’S FAULT.
New stats will show an increase in life expectancy under obozo.

As I glanced through this article (too painful to read) I saw:
New York Times
Professor
Harvard
“mounting evidence”
“public health”
That was enough for my BULLSHIT meter to peg.
I’m sure they completely ignored black-on-black and hispanic drug gang crime deaths, along with overdoses, entitlement induced obesity and the related adverse health affects (or is it effects? – who cares).
I’m not racist – just observant.

The Slimes has been hitting new lows lately. Like their recent article that compared moose limb violence to Catholics and the alleged long history of Catholic terrorism in the US.
Commentary on this mindless 0bamanite tripe from Catholic Culture.org is pretty good if you don’t want to bother with the Slimes.
Unbelievable stupidity.
Jorel Lives!

Oh, I see what is being messaged. This means that poor, uneducated black and Hispanic women are better at surviving than their white counterparts. Simple enough. I suppose their shit smells better too.

The untimely deaths were usually preceeded by “hey y’all watch this!”

….but…but…but, it FOR these people, Dewalt had to put a sticker on my new chain saw stating…
“Do NOT touch MOVING chain while in operation, can cause serious imjury or death!”
- Well, fucking DUH!!!
or…
“ALWAYS assume this handgun is LOADED/ Remove magazine and Clear Weapon BEFORE cleaning!”
- This one was actually made for those who are no longer around to fucking read it!!!
…and this list goes on and on!
My opinion?!
If your so fucking stupid that you would clean a loaded gun or touch a moving chain saw blade, your also too stupid to VOTE responsibly!
Thin the herd!
REMOVE ALL WARNING LABELS!

Most deaths occur after the deceased was heard saying, “Hold my beer and watch this!”
