"Nonsense. Accidental death is the most common cause of death of people under 40 in the US"

Your point? Homicide is rare outside the US. Even within the US, it is rare. Accidents are more common.

However, it is up to you to prove that the difference in accident rates exceeds that of the difference between suicide and homicides rates. The figures I've seen don't support that. You have only your gut feeling. Put some numbers to it.

"You might not have deliberately cherry picked your countries but you couldn't have done much better had you tried."

Whatever. Put some numbers to it instead of waving your hands. I've explained my methodology. You have had your fan dance. Do something other than just express doubt. Do like I have, chase some links and put up some numbers.
