I'm wondering why the French can't get a handle on their Suicide problem. In the US you are more likely to be killed with a firearm than in France. In France you are more likely to die some kind of volent death than in the US.

In france there are 58% more suicides than in the US, pushing their violent death rate to 22.67 (annual deaths per 100,000 people) compared to 18.57 in the US.

So which country is safer?
If America has a gun Problem then France has a Suicide Problem.

You are comparing suicide to murder?
You really are insane.

Sure both are a problem, but you choosing to terminate your life and someone else doing it for you is a bit different?

actually...for the record...I DON"T lock my door!!! For example, the night of the blackout, I as per usual, didn't have my door locked and someone who was lost in the dark wandered in to my apartment...was I scared?? NO!!! I actually gave him a lighter and sent him on his way. A few days later he wrote a thank you note and posted it in the lobby.

So!! YES there are people here in CANADA that don't lock their doors and YES!!! I live right downtown basically next to Maple leaf gardens!

I just saw this movie for the first time the other night...it was pretty interesting. There were so many different parts on it, it's hard to remember which the most extreme were.

Did anybody else find that blind guy, whose favorite gun was the M16 as disturbing as I?
