PC is "at risk".
Then why are some parents charged with ‘child endangerment’ instead of ‘child at riskidness’?

This guy has interesting Halloween decor.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

A morning drive show I used to listen to on my commute always had a section of the show where they relayed silly Florida criminals. It was amazing that they never ran out of material. It was years ago, but I seem to remember that Port St. Lucie is busting at the seams with idiots.

Endangered implies almost extinct. A person cannot be endangered when there are billions more people.

'Endangered' simply means 'to be placed in danger'. I get what you're saying, but an individual can be as endangered as a species.
We also speak of species as being 'threatened'. Does that mean a person can't be threatened when there are billions more people?
