Fixed that link for you: http://tinyurl.com/3vpzzrb
"The Electric Daisy Carnival, attended by tens of thousands of people, has been highly controversial since last year, when a 15-year-old girl died of a drug overdose at the two-day event in June 2010 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Exposition Park."
I love how a festival of tens of thousands of people resulting in one death of an underage girl results in an absolute crackdown on these events. Highly controversial? To whom? My grandmother? She's dead.
How about sporting event related deaths?
http://www.totalpros...rts-fan-deaths/
How about... I dunno... alcohol related deaths?
http://www.cdc.gov/n...ats/alcohol.htm
I'll give you a TL;DR (TOO LAZY, DIDN'T READ):
MDMA Related Deaths for 1997 - 2007: 605
Alcohol Related Deaths for 2007 alone: 23,199

Well, it's also a lot easier to find alcohol than drugs !
Is as if you said planes are not dangerous because there are more deaths in car crashes. Obviously, cars are more used than planes.

Damn I wanted to attend the love evolition fest. and of course see Moby..but I wont be in the area that weekend. It sucks because I wanted to go to the fest for the first time last year but it got cancelled. Now I wont make it this year again, so hopefully next year...

Doing the math, MDMA usage deaths are approximately 0.26% of the amount of alcohol related deaths. Even if you were to take into consideration the widespread use of alcohol versus the limited use of MDMA, I don't know that MDMA usage would be less than one percent of that of alcohol usage. Additionally, it isn't that hard to get illegal drugs in the states.
I don't know that the analogy of car deaths vs. plane deaths is fitting.
If you need more statistics, consider that the 23,199 deaths were alcohol induced, and do not include accidents and homicides.

This calculation is pointless, there have always been a lot more alcohol than drug consumers. It's as if you said that Leucemia were less dangerous than lung cancer because there are more lung cancer related deaths. But obviously, more people suffer from lung cancer. Also, MDMA is, from what I know, not an acohol, so even the sentence makes no sense.

I don't know what you haven't understood there, I tried to be as clear as possible, even though my english is far to be perfect.
To be brief, if you wanted your statistics to make sense, that's how they should be :
XX % of all the alcohol consumers die because of alochol
XX % of all the MDMA consumers die because of MDMA
And then there could be a comparison.

That sucks... My best friend just left for Brazil, he'll be staying there for one year. Another good friend just left for Greece and will study there for at least 6 months, maybe a year. My ex is leaving for India, also for a year.

It does not use a local connection, but when the phone is connected through a real internet connection via wifi, there is not a big latency.

I wouldn't be excited if I were you. Seeing Fatboy Slim was by far the biggest disapointement in my life. He turned really bad, it was one of the worst set I've ever seen.
