it is wrong... the objective distribution is actually shown at the bottom graph.

It omits a graph for Western Europeans, which has a huge "we hate ourselves and everything we've done in the past" segment occupying 90% of the left of the curve.

Or maybe that's just the English.

As Europe descends into a terrorism hellhole,  Poland sleeps at night. Who's cracking Polak jokes now?

Maybe that calls for another referendum.

Really? Not something I recognise.

I wonder what percentage of Americans have actually been to Europe (or could find it on a map)?
More people die from bee stings than die from terrorism.

Is that a real statistic? A nice one to remember if it is.

We need bees.  We don't need terrorists.

Bean strings or bee stings?

Bee stings, and yes in most countries it is true. Check yours.
That is why we just get on with our lives.

The headline you might be referring to was from the Telegraph in 2010 and the data I found was

Year   Bee stings
2001    0
2002          0
2003    0
2004    3
2005    1
2006    1
2007    3
2008    2
2009    0
2010    1
2011    1
2012    1
2013    0

Which is still out of date but would suggest that at the moment more people die in the UK from terrorism than bee stings but it's still a vanishingly small number of terrorist deaths.

Forty people died from bee, wasp or hornet venom in Canada during a 12-year stretch ending in 2011, the most recent period for which national numbers are available from Statistics Canada. In other words, an average of 3.3 Canadians died from bee stings each year. That compares with 10 deaths by lightings and 1.25 deaths per year by bear attacks. Number of deaths by terrorism in Canada is indeed smaller than number of bee sting fatalities. 

Sadly, the number one killers in the country are the doctors prescribing wrong medications.   
As it turns out, 138,000 – or one in every 18 – patients admitted to a Canadian hospital in 2014-15 suffered some kind of harmful event that could potentially have been prevented, from getting the wrong drug to developing an infection, a report released Wednesday has found. Of those 138,000 patients, about 30,000 had more than one adverse event that compromised their care. Of the 138,000 patients identified in the report, 17,300 – or one in eight – died while in hospital. And these are just the reported cases.

Why would anyone want to terrorize Canada? It is inconsequential in world affairs, you can't walk to it, and if you occupy it, you'd have to actually work, otherwise you'd freeze to death.

And I always thought it was due to the alertness and ferociousness of the RCMP officers.

Besides, no virgins if you die from doctor errors, or, god forbid, such unmanly events as bee stings.

More people die from bee stings than die from terrorism.

And more people die of old age than of bee stings or terrorism. What's your point?

Like BobShaw said, Europeans "just get on with their lives."  (The lucky ones, that is.)

I guess means that they mind their own business and don't cause consequences for other countries?
Actually the US has invaded Canada at least twice and lost.
Canada is a fabulous place. Just spent two weeks there.
Right up there with most of Europe and Japan.

They should get Canada to negotiate with North Korea.
I would rather die from old age than radiation poisoning caused by a tweet.

The rate of bee deaths in Canada is actually quite low. Probably not that many bees in Canada compared to Australia due to climate and trees being mainly pines. We have about 5 deaths each year from bees which far exceeds terrorism. More people actually die falling out of bed.

We have far fewer terrorism-related deaths in the UK than we used to have. Fortunately, the Provisional IRA has stopped its 'armed struggle' & no longer receives vast amounts of money from misguided US citizens via Noraid, in order to fund its campaign of terror. Just saying.
