Suicide rate in countries

I am actually curious when I found this statistic, MENA countries (isreal, lebanon etc) have the lowest suicide rates, even though several of these countries are in the midst of poverty. Why isn't the rate higher? It's higher for other poverty filled countries like North Korea and Lithuania.

Poverty doesn't make you kill yourself, depression does, although poverty also helps create depression.

Monotheism (when conceived of in its full breadth, not only as a superficial, sentimental cesspool that it is in modern Christendom (see church/mosque attendance, Christian countries vs Muslim countries) is an antidote to nihilism

Suicide is haram and you'll go straight to hell for eternity

allah doesn't let you have 72 virgins if you commit suicide

religious nuts
both christian and muzzie

lithuanian paganism does

which is why you all btfo yourself

Better family structures in those countries.

Lithuanians have high asian mixture.

Because we have stronger minds. We have it hard since our childhood so we don't fucking kill ourselves because stupid problems like spoiled 1st worlders do

Suicide Champion !

Suicide statistics from first world countries are rarely reliable, so how overpopulated shitholes like India, China and Indonesia or literal war-zones like Syria, Yemen and Libya would be able to accurately track the amount of suicides in their countries is beyond me.

And as Wikipedia says:
>"Incidence of suicide tends to be under-reported due to both cultural and social pressures, and possibly completely unreported in some areas. Since the data might be skewed, comparing suicide rates between nations is statistically unsound. For example, attempted suicide is illegal in Nepal and people who attempt suicide when caught are subject to imprisonment, fines or both; therefore, any suicide figures for Nepal will underestimate the incidence."

Poverty has no role, in fact, there is a reason why most suicides happen in rich countries.
In poor countries you are guaranteed to meet the standard, and if you're above standard you are cherished.
In rich countries however it's hard to reach the standard of everyone thus making a feeling of involuntary isolation which causes depression, which can lead to suicide.
Other factors play in such as the family structure, which is stronger in the third world due to the limitation of resources, and religion, which most first world countries lack.

they're too poor to buy a rope

suicide is haram. you will instantly go to hell.

It's the tribal connection people feel in times of disaster or war. These kind of events bring us away from the fucked up modern world back closer to how we lived the last 99% of our existence, and it's great for people's mental health.

A conflict going on brings them together in a way more fulfilling than what you get driving a car across a city every day to your office job, living among a million people but largely only looking out for yourself.

This has been studied since WW2 when they weren't sure how quickly bombing campaigns would break the civilian population. Turns out it doesn't. Suicide and other mental health issues drop to record lows and even after the war people comment, semi joking, that they wished they could still have the blitz again for one day a month for the excitement of it all. The same one where they had 200,000 people killed or injured around them. But they missed it, in a way.

Same reason they can't invent things.
Culture and low IQs.

MENA people are not smart enough to be depressed and if something in their life does not work, they blame somebody else.

They always see themselves a victims that despite claming superiority is always robbed of success by whitey or the jews.

do you actually think that in these poor countries all suicides get reported and counted?

Depression and suicide are a first world epidemic.
When you are constantly struggling with real life issues, you are less prone to depression.
Suicide rate increases the more sheltered and comfortable your life become. True story.

There are probably other factors to take in as well.

Watch this if you want, I think it's quite insightful.

This is still in the realm of theory, but I am very inclined to believe it's true, because I myself am very prone to depression and suicidal thoughts, and the way I deal with it is to constantly challenge myself and set goals, so that I'm more focused on more substantial problems than my brain chemistry. It works very well for me. When I served in the military it was probably the least depressed I had ever been in my life.

>tfw you will increase your cunt's ranking someday

>even though several of these countries are in the midst of poverty.
I knew this was an american even before looking at the flag.

It comes down to the tribal connection we all crave, a more natural state. The military gives it to you. A large family gives it to you. Working land you can become independent on and pass down gives it to you. Going it alone in a big peaceful western city does not line up with how we are built. Modern society puts man alone on a treadmill for the benefit of the rich. And if he doesn't have enough kids to maintain the growth to cover the interest, we bring another foreign man.

Not as big an issue in israel with a real threat to civilians and conscription, but a lot of soldiers from the US and other nations kill themselves. More even than combat deaths. Why? Because there is such a disconnect from the experience they had in war with their brothers and the rat race back home, where very few people were ever threatened and carried on as usual. Blind to another way outside the walls.

Islam.
Suicide is forbidden in Islam so...

>be a Mongolian or Kazakh
>live a peaceful farmer life on some cosy steppes out there
>solve a seppuku
What happens there?

Also,
>Korea higher than Japan
>Poland and Belarus higher than Russia and Ukraine
>China that low
>Hungary and Slovenia on suicide watch
>Denmark that low despite Greenland and Faroes

>highest suicide rate in mena

Killing yourself is giving up. Why give up?

Many of Chinese data cannot be trusted.

There is empirical evidence indicating that the "Perceived Burdensomeness" and "Capability for Suicide" dimensions of the Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicidal Behavior are the factors behind lethal suicide attemps, but not so much evidence have been found for the "Thwarted Belongingness" one

...

Depression and suicidal thoughts are not directly correlated with how much money you have/make.

I'm at a point in life where I'm making like 10x the amount of money people my age are making yet I'm depressed and lonely af.

Yes, depression rates are not correlated to suicide rates

It's too hot

ITT: 18 year olds just realizing suicide is a privilege

AKA this whole thread is shitposting

Many of Japanese data cannot be trusted

I never understood this. What's the point of suicide? Suicide would only have a point if human beings were biologically immortal. As it is, we'll all die aynway, so why not eat some delicious pizzas, drink some alcohol, fuck some girls, ponder some pretentious books in the process?

We're all dead anyway, what's the point in rushing it?

You don't need to kill yourself, you do some dumb shit and they will kill you

You never closed the first Parentheses

Why suffer when you can end it?

pizza is Greek

if you die anyway
why you care?

this
kill yourself you subhuman

Lithuania is a developed country, you fucking retard.

Communism destroys the soul of people, even generations after it's gone.

This is such a good answer and what it primarily boils down to.

people destroy communism

culture and climate

Greeks are better than other humans

Good riddance.

Looking forward to doing it again. Nobody has ever conceived of a more inhuman idea. Even full fascism is preferable and more rational.

Who's suffering? Understaning it's all ultimately pointless does not equate to "suffering".

Life is pointless, but it's also awesome. Nigger I tried an ice cream with SHRIMP in it two weeks ago. Lara still looks at me and smiles for some unfathomable reason, and I like it when she does that. They recently renistated Crystal Pepsi, NO JOKE, it's back!

so what's the big tragedy?

real communism was never tried with real people

Has to be bait.

you will die

why?

Well, yeah...and?

nothing
you will die
all you will do
is worthless

>MENA countries (isreal, lebanon etc) have the lowest suicide rates
They don't have enough time to grow up to kill themself. ISIS or Trump will strike them before they can reach puberty.

and again...since the end result is always the same, might as well make the most of the journey to the end result...i feel like we're having a miscommunication here

islam
nothing else

for what reason?
painless suicide is actually better than being alive
who knows when or how painful you will die?

Let's just agree to disagree then. I mean, living where you do...I get it.

you will die

I sure will. And that doesn't scare me at all, unlike you, apparently.

you wont exist
you will die

As someone who knows me quite well, I can assure you the world losing me is not gonna be a big tragedy, why are you trying to make it out as such?

the world will die
you will die

It stops the mental suffering or any other kind of suffering one is going through.

that's good thinking. and suicide must be overall selected against behavior in humans

its not

nigger mentality

I think it's because they dont register them. same reason african countries have low rape statistics

t. cleaned toilets to buy a rope

i thought i posted it

Jesus germany, do you really wanna do this? i don't, it would be too fucking easy, but do you?

YOU WANNA DO THIS, BRAH?

no, it's Greek mentality. have you gone Turk on us, iki?

>Same reason they can't invent things.
>Culture and low IQs.

I should remind you that in the middle ages they were the civilized ones and you were the primate. Don't get me started on this shit again.

What a fucking stupid argument. Hang yourself.

Holy shit I'm mad right now.

what?

its not you subhuman albanian

>I should remind you that in the middle ages they were the civilized ones and you were the primate
WE WUZ KANGZ N SHET MY NIGGA

uma delicia mhm go eat your monkey soup

Seriously, they have better society system than Whites. Some of them are poor, but they have culture rich people help poor people so everyone is helping each other. You would claim Communism has same "culture" but they have highest suicide rate but that's far from reality. In communist nations, 1% oligarch share the wealth of entire nations and they think only government should care about poor people.

real communism was never tried
thats the truth

food, sex and (pseudo-)philosophy, nigga. working strategy for thousands of years

his intentions are different

he is a slavic subhuman

that's why his strategy doesn't work and he kills himself more

>communism has and will always fail
>lol yuor never tried Real Communism™
same thing anarchists and libertarians dont want to live in poor African countries though these countries would practice anarchism and capitalism better than the evil socialist comfy western countries

Or maybe because you get killed before you're able to suicide

slavs are subhumans

but real communism was never tried
non Greeks are usually subhumans

iki envisioning a star trek world. I'm actually optimistic about that, I think in the next 100 years a lot of the technologies required for the beginnings of that might be plausibly common

Say uh, who here likes slavic subhumans more than the pathetic remnants of what germany used to be as it tries to dictate national policies to sovereign nations and fails miserably?

What is your life dream? To be a millionaire, to travel the world? To meet the love of your life? To have your own big company? To become an amazing scientist?

It's your dream, you can fly as high as you want, it's all about your heart.
Now, I imagine you've probably thought something that's not so simple, maybe something listed above.

I was born and raised here. You know what my dream is? To be able to eat breakfast (pão na chapa e capuccino) every day in a Brazilian padaria (not a shitty one, maybe something more expensive and from the "high society").

That would something around 3 or 4 dollars every morning. I get really satisfied when I eat this kind of snack, specially together with a friend, it just makes my day happy. I'm not a "loser" or a buddhist, I'm being completely honest with you when I say that.

I don't dream about living in Dubai, marrying my qt, becoming rich or just owning the fucking world, because reality has destroyed my goals.
Those things are so far from my reality that I don't even think about it (no, I'm not a poorfag).

Life is "cruel" here to a point where you have to lower your expectations if you want to survive. I mean, next year I'm graduating at a top uni here (stemfag), I'm a polyglot, and I'm safe I won't find a job, just like my older brother.
Life is shitty to a point where you don't create expectations and you enjoy the little things, my dude.

First-worlders will commit sudoku because the world keep telling them "YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" when they clearly can not.

Gotta leave the bubble and face reality. It's a tough transformation, but it's the only way. Pic related.

star trek is trash for retards

I am a Greek

kill all slav subhumans

do you like any sci-fi? what about Lucian's Secret History?

Are you a bot ?

I really wish he was...it would make it sensible

Y/N?

>Y

by being stupid you can be happy
