Suicide rates by country -- the winner isn't what you'd think

February 03, 2015, 09:56:16 PM

Greenland has the most suicides per capita. I can see that. Why anyone would choose to live in that hellhole is beyond me.

Discuss...I guess?

Further proving that the united states is the best country in the history of the world.

lol Greenland wins by a landslide

Rinev · February 03, 2015, 10:08:21 PM

Actually the winner was what I would think. The suicide rate in northern Canada is high, so I figured it would be similar for Greenland.

>Japan
>Not in the top three

Bullshit.

I thought it would be Japan tbh

figured south korea would be pretty high up there. they almost have a japanese-level professional class putting a lot of strain on their society

Meanwhile... isn't suicide the leading cause of early death in America?

No it's heart disease
Followed by cancer
Followed by respiratory disease
And so on.
Suicide is number 10

I bet 2/3 of those are from fucked up first world problems

Alexandra Stuk Luv · February 04, 2015, 06:23:30 AM

So, that's why Greenland looks quite empty nowadays.

clum clum · February 04, 2015, 07:04:28 AM

Those results are to be expected, because all those countries are miserable places that are hard to live in. America, on the other hand, is not, even if you are poor.

clum clum · February 04, 2015, 07:09:56 AM

Funny thing is, Greenland had one of the worlds lowest suicide rates for a long time - there would even be years where no Greenlanders commited suicide.

Mr. Psychologist · February 04, 2015, 07:16:48 AM

Yeah, it's pretty dire for greenland <.<

But that is a lot of slavs, christ ._.
I wonder if it counts accidental suicide through vodka + stupidity or if it's only intentional ones >.>

Seeing what awaits a lot of us almost makes me understand why suicide is #10.

I mean, the fact that killing yourself is even in the top 10 ways people are killed is still pretty disheartening.

Solonoid · February 04, 2015, 10:08:19 AM

Australia is only not at the top because those criminals are too stupid to realise they should've killed themselves years ago.

With the world being such an awful place it's not really surprising.

It's pretty untruthful to say "the world" is an awful place. There's a very, very good number of places that are not awful. The places that are not awful far outweigh the places that are.

Those places that "aren't awful" are disappearing pretty fast.
