The actual numbers are at the link in my post. US suicide rates are not the lowest among developed countries. Other posts of my detailed the higher accident rates. Are you trying to argue that we have lower homicide rates? I didn't state or link to those rates but I doubt you would argue that they are low here. The "actual numbers" that you used were about Japan. Sure it has a much higher suicide rate than the US, but its also much higher than most other countries. It isn't typical of the nations with higher life expectancy than the US and you know it. It also has a very homogeneous society with obvious diet and genetic differences. Look at Japanese Americans, and you don't see similar life expectancies to Japan, so obviously one or both of these factors is decisive.
