For some reason I'm just not feeling a response to this; though, I'm going to have to think about it some more.

That works out to one American life lost for every 3333 (ish) Americans. Even if we ignore the fact that Americans are almost certainly wildly overrepresented on Facebook relative to the rest of the world, the website is six times as destructive to the U.S. Tongue firmly in cheek, incidentally.
