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

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.
Are they, though? What places were not awful 50 years ago, but are now?

The entire middle east.

Africa.

Also, much of Africa experienced apartheid, and while I'm not saying apartheid is justified, the caucasians had things wrapped down better than its current leaders.

I don't know, man, I don't care enough to go dig around for that. I know for a fact the world is getting worse, though. Wait until 2030. Will things be worse then?

If I lived in a place covered in snow that seemed ironically named Greenland, I'd kill myself too.
