Compared to how many in the supposedly lesser nations? Being #1 is meaningless without a #2 to humiliate.

Don't we also work harder and longer than any other 1st world country? I bet that has something to do with it.

Well on half the planet you don't need to commit suicide, just stop trying your damndest to survive and it'll happen for you.

From a percentage standpoint, I doubt we can trump Japan.

And I bet the japanese are much more successful at it. There's this thing called "honor" and "follow-through" that they're better at.

Attempted is just another word for failure.

black males prefer suicide at an early age. white males when they are old.

i saw it bolded on wikipedia and clicked it cause i wondered what it could possibly say besides what i figured it would say

plus i never planned on living to 31 so this must end now

[Edited on August 31, 2009 at 9:13 PM. Reason : man i cant find that picture, i lost all my DC pics exept for one in some RIP emily thing on faceboo]

I would think there would be some amount of extreme ambiguity in classifying any death at age 80+ as a suicide...

[Edited on August 31, 2009 at 9:14 PM. Reason : unless they leave a note or something...]

I never planned to live past 20, so each day is an unanticipated surprise.

that graph is a great example of how misleading graphs can be

i remember my research, thats people per 100000 on the y-axis, where my mind normally thinks percentage by default

i mean it also says so too, but rise over run and percentage over population

I'm tired of all these whiny bitches on antidepressants, you know how much that stuff costs the health care system? Stop being such a loser douche and maybe people will stop hating you and you wont be so sad all the time.

i agree paul09128930 but it sure would be a bitch to just stop dosing half the country and wait for the results to flush out. jesus that would be wacky.
