Default Why do southerners commit suicide more than yankees? - 02-24-2006 , 08:26 PM

shows that the south as a region had a suicide rate of 13.1 while the
northeast had a rate of 9.1. That is quite a discrepency. Is it
because life is so boring and stupid in the south that they only thing
a southerner can think of to do is to drive fast? That is depressing.
Maybe the hot sticky humid summers of the south make the winter seem
like it is not leading to anything worth living for.

Its because of all the stupid questions that Yankees ask.

So are you saying that it should be obvious why southerners commit
suicide 50% more than yankees? It is certainly plausible and not
surprising, but why obvious? Why wouldnt double the yankee rate be the
obvious answer?

Yankees emigrate to the south, not vice versa. How do you know that a
percentage of the southern suicides aren't transplanted yankees?

And why is the rate in western states higher than the south? You say you
regretted leaving Sacramento, yet the rate in CA and the west in total is
higher than the south. Why would you want to live there? Why do people off
themselves at such a high rate in the west? Is it the pollution? Is it
because of the liberals?

That is a good question. I do know that some fools have suggested that
Seattle has a high rate because of rain, but the state of Washington
has a lower rate than any other western state. I have pondered the
question. Compared to the south, it is not enormously high, and
Seattle, which interests me as a place to move to has a lower rate than
the south as a region. Young people have tended to leave the
northeastern states and have moved south and west. I suspect that
movement of the younger generations is related to this. Traditionally,
older people have offed themselves at a higher rate. So I am a little
confused about it. I think people that stay behind in New Bedford,
rather than to boldly go where no man (in their family) has moved
before tend to be people that dont just let nature take its own course.
They take the bull by the horns. When it comes to diing, I suspect
the same applies. I know that if I were incurably immobile, blind,
deaf, incontinent, cancerous, or a combination of the above, I would
very like take action. Wouldnt you?

My lengthy experience in life and extensive scientific research suggest that
this apparent suicide rate is due to Yankees moving down south and
discovering that they have missed many years of fine southern living. They
can't bear the realization that all that peach cobbler has passed them by,
so they snuff themselves.

Just a shame they aren't required to find five Democrats and do a
murder-suicide.
