Fucking sharks, evolve at least a vestigial tongue or something. Don't gnaw on whatever needs to be checked out!

I see this and instantly think of old Eastern European propoganda that insults capitalism.
Therfore: Communists say Soda :eng101:
you lie! soda is what it says on the vending machines were i live and a vending machine would never lie to me!
You're more likely to die from a falling coconut than to die from a shark attack.

I always knew they were communists.
Sharks are actually not as dangerous as people make them out to be, I've always been fascinated with them.

Fun Fact: Coca-Cola is not sold in India, because in India the law says that any food or drink product must have it's recipe divulged to the government.
As we have already established, Coca-Cola is Communist.
Therefore, India is more American than America :eng101:

I have found a way around your argument.
No restauraunt is more American than McDonald's with it's overly fatty foods and ridiculous proportions on what one person should be able to eat. Plus there is one in every country trying to spread influence to people who don't want it, which is also unquestionably American.
Pepsi is not served at McDonald's.

You're in a thread about vending machines killing more people than sharks and you're talking about how credible they are?
You're off your rocker, plain and simple.
its fucking soda get it right
[QUOTE=Killerjc;24532243]its fucking soda get it right[/QUOTE]
Communists say Soda. I've proven it with logic.
If you go to Canada and ask for Soda, you'll get this

Basically just carbonated water.
You go to Canada and ask for POP.
You'll be given the choices of Pepsi, Coke, so on and so forth.

Vending machines are only deadly if you're a moron.
[QUOTE=FuhFuhFresh;24529409]Partly due to their terrifying appearance, but mainly due to the [I]Jaws[/I] franchise, Sharks are often considered to be among the deadliest animals to exist, next to bears and hippos. One of the main inciting events that lead to such a common fear were the high amount of shark attack reports between 2001-2005, often during the summer, the time of year most people might go to a beach for the day.
However, in 1995 (I chose this year because it was the closest year that I could find an accountable source for fatalities of this manner), the number of Deaths directly related to Vending Machines falling over is more than Sharks.
Vending Machines - 2 ([url]http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml96/96011.html[/url])
Sharks - 0 ([url]http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Sharks/Statistics/statsus.htm[/url])
Along with this, the reported number of vending machine deaths between 1978 and 1995 is 37, meaning 2.16 deaths per year. In the timespan known for the highest 10 year period of shark attacks, 1995-2005, there were only six fatalities, or .6 deaths a year. This means you are four times as likely to die due to vending machines than Sharks.[/QUOTE]
You can't just directly compare them to each other. That's like saying "3 people died on a space mission, and there was only 3 there, so you have a 100% chance of dying from going to space"
You need to find out how many people went to beaches where the waters had any traces of sharks, and then compare how many people died as a result of this. Let's say 2 billion people went to the beach. 2 people died as a result of shark attacks. That means 1 in a billion chance of getting killed by a shark. On the other hand, 3 billion people used a vending machine. 2 people died, that's 1 in 1.5 billion. The death numbers are the same, but you need to include the proportions as well or else the study is flawed.
You don't have any chance of getting killed by a shark if you don't go to the beach

There are people whose job is entirely based around studying sharks. Not contained ones, either. Ones that live in the ocean. These people do this professionally, and often make great money. I've seen documentaries where the guy claimed "If sharks were ferocious, I would have died a long time ago."
Hence, even if you get up-close and personal with the sharks, you probably aren't aren't going to die.
On the flipside, if you fuck with the delicate balance of a very topheavy vending machine to try and get free food from it, you're asking for bad shit to happen to you.

Sadly this is true for far too many items in the world.

Shark's have been around for 400 million years. Human has never been on their intended menu. As a marine biology student, I would gladly swim with any shark. Including great whites. As long as you know how to manage yourself around them, they won't bother you.
