Whoever posted that last message "And while I'm here, will any man have sex with me?" I would love to take a cue from "The Nut Cracker" and crack your nuts.

Kathy, the two males who replied to you like that are typical of so many males and it shows that they think with the brain that is directly above their testicles that you would to turn to pulp. GOOD for you...GO GIRL!

14th April 2010 While I'm here, will any man have sex with me? Plz. I'll even do anal.

This was not me. If any male tried it that I did not want, he would have his testicles kicked into his abdomen or squeezed into pulp.

One would never consider that the high rate of male sucides is due to the fact that they are much weaker than women would they? Perhaps if they realized that it is the male who is the weaker sex, they could seek help more easily.

It would be interesting to see this along side a table showing use of benzodiazepine and other tranqualizers and antidepressants. I firmly beleive that thier use and subsequest dependance causes increaced tendancy for suicide. Not the other way around.
I love the fact that Jamaca is down the end. Sun sand and sensi. Yea.

You should try reading studies that do give you data collected from around the globe, *including* Africa, like say for example -- A Reza - 2001. Africa in general still pales in comparison to the higher suicide cases and rates in the 'west'. And that uninformed-sounding Tony Vincent might try actually traveling to multiple places Africa, instead of making such bizarre generalizations about "African's picking fruit off a tree and sleeping under it".

@Tony Vincent: I could be wrong, but I think that the reason why African countries aren't listed on this list is because those countries don't report the cause of death when they report statistics to the World Health Organization.

I would strongly caution anyone about jumping to conclusions based on a lack of data.

It's interesting that Africa with the lowest standard of living in most of their countries is only featured in no 79(Egypt). The abundance of basic necessities like food and shelter (Picking fruit off a tree and sleeping under it) may be less stressfull than in a cold industrialised enviornment.
