I agree with your position -- that the danger of online predation is way overblown. But I don't see the quantitatively argument in at least the data you present.

2007: 6500 deaths from 16-20 year-olds from driving. Let's wildly guess that there are 18 million Americans at that age through some back-of-envelop calculations. Then we're talking about fatality rate of 0.036%.

Two out of 1500 victimized? 0.13%

Their fears don't look so ridiculous anymore, at least with those numbers.

Hopefully as my generation (I'm 19) moves into positions of influence, misconceptions like this will be cleared up.

just goes to show that even when confronted with facts, they are stupid. wake up and engage your brain and make a decisions like a rational human being. i realize that's difficult for you, but maybe you can take classes and learn.
