How can Russia be lower than Iran? I would expect Sweden,Norway,Denmark,Finland for the top.

Very high suicide rate in Finland.

List of countries by suicide rate

It's higher in Belguim than Finland. UK only 61st! I'm surprised.

Very high suicide rate in Finland.

And £8 a pint and £20 for a bowl of fish soup.

Sorry, that's Norway.

[What's Burning?]

Very high suicide rate in Finland.

Isn't it completely dark there like 16 months a year?

Not quite, but close, especially near the arctic circle. Hence the booze problem, but also the wild nights/days/whatever-it's-so-messed-up in the sauna.

Looking at the suicide rates (excluding the top 5 countries), it seems roughly that the rate of how developed a country is is proportional to the number of suicides....

More developed - less activity and brainpower needed in the nation (since big brother provides) - less things to think about - how bout kill myself?

You're high on somtin'? Such a fooked up conclusion as yours couldn't even be drawn up if you hand-picked a few countries from the list rather than looking at the whole picture.

[Hammer278]

Maybe I am. Sorry, but in the top 50 in that list I see a lot of developed status countries, way more than I expected!

Go check out the top 50 countries in that list...then look at the rest till 106, come back and tell me what you think. No need to 'hand pick'.

[stonemonkey]

more developed=more tall buildings and bridges.

Untrue. Comparing Switzlerland and Malaysia for example, Switzerland can't hold a candle against Msia's buildings and malls and what not (except for public transport!) but its vice versa when you compare their government equity and well being of citizens.

Suicide rates are quite high amoung rural communities in Pakistan and India.

Someone commits suicide out of desperation, not because they don't have enough to think about! It is a truly terrible thing to happen in a family, especially when it happens to the last person you'd expect.

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned how the USA is so much higher than Britain! Having lived in both both countries; I would most definitely prefer to have my children born in the UK; the US and it's ultra capitalistic nature is exceptionally bad for the people (unless you happen to be one of the lucky 'rich' ones), not to mention the amount of gun violence and racial intolerance!

[andrew]

And there are so many more tall buildings in the US.

I didn't literally mean that someone has not enough to 'think about'...but anyway this discussion is above you no offense.
