  • Err... life expectancy is a national average, nothing to do with overall population. Sorry, just stating the obvious.

  • Only O'Reilly could say something that stupid.

  • That is the worst cause-effect evidence ever

    10x the population means 10x the hospitals and 10x the doctors

    I guess American doctors fail at their jobs and hospitals fail at providing necessary service

  • wow, i've seen that guy say some stupid things, but that really shocked me.

  • WOW I've always heard Americans are really stupid!

    Their education system apparantly really sucks as well.

  • Is there not one person in that studio that could have explained it to him and said that on air?

  • O'Reilly is a fucking pervert and an idiot.

  • Why does this shit for brains moron have a spot on TV? Bum-ass dumbfucks like this should not be defecating on the public discourse.

  • FACT

    the u.s.a is #1 in life expectancy if you take out accidental deaths and murders.

    i hate bill o'reilly even more than the last commentor.

  • I fucking hate O'Reilly. The average is an AVERAGE regardless of the total number rather high or low. I have ZERO respect for him or any fucking idiot who listens to him.

    Think for yourselves people.

  • this guy needs to be shot for his stupidity

  • I like O'Reilly but this has to be one of the dumbest comments I've ever heard in my fucking life.

  • oh man, rofl... this guy outdoes himself consistently. yeah billo... THAT's why.

  • Uneducated blather in the finest form. Give a moron a microphone and a following and presto....

  • huh???? What was that Bill. How does that work? 10 times as many people sooooooo.........

  • Wow, what a retard. I guess he's never heard of "per capita."

  • Yes bill. But 10/10=1 so it really makes no difference in the stats... Idiot!

  • lol billo doesnt understand per capita ROFL what a moron gj bill makeing your redneck fans look even more dumbiter

  • This guy is on American TV? No wonder the US has the dumbest people on the planet. Averages - what is that - grade 4 math. Or perhaps he's just working with a negative IQ.

  • That is all I needed to see. He was just gonna carry on but..the fuck(!) is he on about!?

  • No reason to generalize ALL US citizens :) Stating absolutes in that fashion can make a person look foolish. But I agree, he's working with a negative IQ.

  • AVERAGES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!!

  • OMG..........this guy has his own TV show?

  • Good point Bill'o, that's why the habitants of Guam live up to 1000 years old.

  • Wouldn't the entire world therefore have a life expectancy of 3 mins? lol what a tool.

    .....

  • Glad he pointed out that America has a crime problem and more deaths due to guns. Oh wait, guns are something Republicans like. Nevermind. Ummmm, blame the Mexicans.

  • Australia banned handguns, and crime has gone up there.

    Our lower life expectancy is due to our obese population, not lack of socialized medicine.

  • Wow, nice manufactured talking points. You're so unbelievably full of shit.

  • ... except that Australia is a more obese country than we are.

  • What about Israel? Even with the terrorist bombings every other day, they still live longer than Americans. Oh, and they just happen to have universal health care.

  • Comment removed

  • Well, we do have more crime. Dumass O'Reilly at least got that part right. Let me get my rifle at aim it at him so he can join the statistics. ha ha.

  • Poor Bill. He's always getting picked on, and there's no way I would defend him, especially not on this.

  • The scary thing is that this was not an 'off the cuff' answer. He chose this letter and chose to respond to it the way he did...and no one on his staff said "Uh, Bill, the death rate is not the same this as the gross number of deaths...."

  • i dont think Bill understands how life expectancy works.

    what an idiot.

  • It is true though. Statistically, smaller nations are better off for the same reason. Having a bigger population means bigger problems.

    His reasoning isnt entirely untrue. Its called scale economics. However, whether it is the only reason is up for debate.

  • you total dumbass moron. That is completely false. EUROPEAN nations (which are all smaller in population than the US) tend to be better off, not "smaller nations". The US has the world's 3rd largest population, and the 50th highest life expectancy...out of 223. You simply don't no what you are talking about.

    And I no how scale economics work, but they dont apply to life expectancy. In fact, if anything, the US should have higher life expectancy.

  • LOL.

  • Oh man......that is....so......stupid......head­.....hurts... That must mean people in China have a life expectancy of 12 minutes. Honestly, if I actually watched fox news, I would feel insulted.

  • You should learn scaling curves in statistics.

  • you should learn math

  • I'm working on a PhD in statistics mate. At U of M. Thanks.

  • His stupidity is obscene.

  • Does that mean that they have 1/10 as many farmers as us? How come they aren't starving? O_O

  • O'Reily is a dumbass. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

  • Skills Pro'Reilly

  • This is why he is known as "Billo the Clown."

  • Fox is aimed at people who do not think and do not care about facts.

  • What an ignorant moron.

    Remember Bill: Palin in 2012,

    MD

  • It's really easy to mistake quantity with rate...

    /end_sarcasm

    O'Reilly = Basic Math Fail

  • what a morone!!

  • fox news treats its viewers like little kids who have asked a question that their parents dont know the answer to...

    the other day my nephew asked why we have skin...

    i was gonna make something up...but then i googled it and tried to learn and explain it to him...

    but i think bill just made this up cuz he didnt wanna learn. or rather, didnt want us to learn...

  • What? Someone was actually expecting an intelligent, reasonable statement from this imbecile king?

    At least the moron is consistent.

  • Violent crime yes, the US has much higher violent crime (3 times the murder rate as Canada).

    But why would an average American be more likely to die from a car accident than an average Canadian? That makes no sense. Does the US have lax automobile safety standards? I've not heard of that.

  • You´re smart.

    lmao

  • ¡Dios bendiga América! Qué sería de los ratos muertos si no fuera por estos momentos de americanadas... Ni nuestro Jimenenz Losantos es tan gracioso.

    Los seres coherentes de todos los países del mundo deberíamos irnos a fundar nuestro propio país libre de simios con apariencia de humanos.

  • What a complete fucking idiot? So, this show was taped in advance, not live, and yet this comment still made it? Anyone who claims this guy is not a propagandist, please explain this video. Is O'Reilly a moron or does he just exploit the morons who watch his show?

  • What a dumb ass.

  • poetv

  • I don't watch his show - I do like watching the highlights on youtube, however, to see how fucking stupid the millions who do enjoy it are. Now, you are complaining that people "waste their time" watching youtube videos and commenting on them. The medium for your critique? - The fucking comment board of a youtube video. You're dumber than O'Reilly!

  • Look up irony, andrewh23.

    To suggest what I have to say isn't valid because it's made over youtube; but to tell me that... over youtube.

    Who's dumber than O'Reilly?

  • The only people dumber than O'Reilly are the idiots who listen to him.

  • He is either stupid, or a propagandist asshole. Either way someone should kill the piece of shit.

  • Talking shit about Bill O'Reilly = cool. Calls to murder people = not cool.

  • With guys like this running the country for 6 years is there any surprise that everything is so fucked up right now?

  • Even if we had a hundred times as many people as Canada... life expectancy is based off of an average.

    What a moron.

  • HAHAHAHAA i can't believe Fox allowed him to display his retardness

  • what was the rest of his response? I can't find it anywhere.

  • What did he say?

  • Please! Do you think Media Matters edited this clip in manner that cut Bilo off at the very moment he was about repudiate that mathematical absurdity he just uttered? What? Thus if we were to look at this clip in context, we would find Bilo actually attacking the fuzzy math he is using in this clip - or ostensibly using. Therefore you are implicitly contending that Bilo does indeed understand that it is not the number that is matters here, but the number relative to the size of the population.

  • Can you provide some transcription of how he repudiates his own stupidity afterwards? This sort of thing is not out of the ordinary for him by any means.

  • He does not, and that is the point I was making.

  • "You tell me why they didn't include the whole answer to the email. It's obvious as can be."

    I already explained this to you in my initial comment:

    "Do you think Media Matters edited this clip in manner that cut Bilo off at the very moment he was about repudiate that mathematical absurdity he just uttered?"

    In other words, the comment is in context. In order for the comment to be seen as out of context, you would have to believe that BIlo was about to repudiate what he had just said. WHY?

  • I know what context means. It's an excuse used by people who can't come up with real reasons to defend idiots like O'Reilly.

    More proof that the average conservative will believe that 2 plus 2 equals 5 if someone on Fox news tells them so.

  • He needs to go back to school.

  • It's worth noting that this adult man, with a national audience and a lucrative entertainment contract, does not know how to divide one number by another. It's also clear that he has no idea WHY you would divide one number into another. This is a pretty frightening indictment of our educational system.

  • Bill is seven kinds of retarded

  • logically, if we have ten times the population, we should have ten times the life expectancy. or something.

  • That's correct - as an American I will live approximately 478.23 years. Unfortunately, since we have more staircases in the US, I will likely fall down one to my death prior to reaching my maximum age. If I don't, then i will probably fall down one of our many elevator shafts. America is a dangerous place.

  • Basic math fail.
