So the US doesn't have a National ID Card but something else that's much closer but is not secure and easy to steal. Couldn't they just make National ID Cards mandatory and tell the people it has benefits like preventing Identity fraud and every country in the world has it with no fuzz about it?

If You Could Only Die in Sudden Accidents,
How Long Would You Live?: "Imagine a world in which the only possible way to die was through a sudden accident, such as a car crash, falling down the stairs, or getting struck by lighting. How long could we expect to live in such a world? According to an eye-opening simulation, a very, very, long time, indeed. The fine folks at data site Polstats recently conducted a thought experiment in which they pretended that paradigm-changing medical and social breakthroughs were able to eliminate all “natural” causes of death, such as cancer, heart attacks, and all age-related diseases. Using data pulled from the Insurance Information Institute, Polstats put together a super cool simulation of 100 humans living in such a world."

I have to post one more in response to this. I've read many "post facts" based off a percentage of the people of a given country. Tell me, how exactly did you or someone else (you read on internet) measure the percentage of the entire country for a survey? Polls/surveys are usually conducted with a small amount of people and often times if there is corruption, the poll giver will conduct the poll in places where he knows he will get the results he wants.

Good old "lies, dam lies and statistics" issues. The only polls I take seriously are the ones I have had a hand in gathering data for (since I'm going to have a better idea about any troubles or bias issues) or the mass blanket sort done for boring reasons with no reason to lie, like equal opportunity forms.
Bias by accident is easy enough to do. For example, in an old job we telephoned and asked members about what they thought about services and how to improve them... then we clicked the times we were phoning meant people who worked till late wasn't getting asked...and so not getting represented as a result. And we were ethical seekers of facts trying to improve our services. There no lack of people taking polls purely to try to give their arguments teeth who bias questions to get the answer they want, or to get funding for their project. |

It is a fact that the following headline was posted on the Gallup website: In US, Belief in Creationist View of Humans at New Low.
On MAY 22, 2017 according to that site. SURVEY METHODS is a section in the text on that web page. |

A Yu-Gi-Oh Fact: We all know Yu-Gi-Oh as having powerful mythical creatures and natural disasters like tornadoes but did you know one of the cards is called "Hungry Burger". Yeah that's right, one of the cards is just an animate piece of food with teeth. https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net...20151126060720 In addition, this monster can only be ritual summonend with the ritual spell card "Hamburger Recipe" http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...20151126060618
