He's an idiot. According to wiki, Greece ranks 140th out of 170 countries for suicides. That's lower than most developed countries (Sweden, USA, UK, France etc) including Cyprus (128th).


In addition, I'm not talking about 2016 data, but older data back between 2010 to 2012 where Greece had a huge spike.


My source (WHO via wiki) is for 2012!


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c ... icide_rate


That is suicides per 100,000 people per year.

Greece = 3.8 people commiting suicide per year per 100,000 people.

Thats about 420 people a year from a population of about 11 million people.

Which is about 0.0038% suicide rate in Greece for 2012 data.


I agree. It's the idiot that estimated one million per year.

That source also goes back 30 years from 2015 which puts the figure at 6.1 people per 100,000 people per year committing suicide in Greece.

So that is about 0.006% suicide rate per year for the past 30 years in Greece.

This equates to 19,230 Greeks committing suicide each ....week :lol:
An ...astonishing number per day of 2747 :lol:
Or 114.46 per ...hour!! :lol:

Undertakers must be making a fortune !!

It's not something anyone should feel ashamed about, or take it as any criticism. most countries are trying to address this pandemic. it's literally a pandemic. Too many people are committing suicide, far more than most diseases, and Ebola.

And the only way to address it is to spend big money on mental health programs and initiatives and increase Health spending and also to make people aware of these issues and to be on the lookout through your family and networks.


Look out of the window ...... do you see the white van with blacked out windows and those men in White Coats? :? 'They're coming to take you away ... away ... they're coming to take you away' !!! :o :shock: If I were you I would keep a very low profile. :roll: :wink:

It seems that it was on the ground because of a technical problem and the terrorists fired an anti-tank missile at it. The crew of two escaped without injury and returned to base. :D

Apart from the USA NO OTHER NATION demanded , strenuously, the removal of Assad . You are thoroughly obsessed with Russia and Putin .

The war is against the enemy of the entire world, ISIS, its NOT against Assad.

Detach your self from the insatiable hatred you exhibit for Russia and be objective, then some might take you seriously. Right now, on this forum, not a single member shares your views. Ask your self why.


He can't detach himself from that hatred, it is what dictates 90% of his posts! :wink:

The US created ISIS, so why would they want to destroy it as it has served them well. Without IS the US coalition would have no reason to be in Iraq and Syria (Syria illegally of course) But the US call for regime change i.e. Assad must go!' has been attenuated to 'Transition' ..... same sh*t different ident! It will not happen as the Syrian people want Assad not the US coaliion's preferred candidate which is ..... er, well they will work that out later like they did in Libya, :roll: (Another monumental cock-up by ' The US led coalition'!)

Paphitis:
I have just read your recent diatribes and can’t be bothered to waste the time even attempting to correct your misunderstandings of history and the usual bullsh*t you spout.

The only one who believes the rubbish you post regarding events in Syria .... is you! I don’t think members agree on much else you post either ...... but you need have no concern because, as you will appreciate, everyone else but you is out of step and has got it all wrong.

But to keep you up to date with a more reasoned view of events ..........

Aleppo – your terrorists prevented any civilians leaving, during the 10 hr CH, in fact they shot at 40 civilians trying to leave and shelled the escape routes. The terrorists attempt to break through the ring around the Eastern Aleppo terrorists and their hostages failed and where they did make any inroads they were driven back with heavy losses in men and equipment. The civilians have been leafleted telling them to shelter where best they can. The final battle for Aleppo appears to be underway. Finished by Tuesday? ..... OK, maybe a bit optimistic but not that far off I think! :wink:

Mosul – News coming out of the City and the suburbs is very scant, no journalist have been permitted to enter the city so news is mostly from civilians who have managed to get out and Iraqi forces personnel. The Iraqi army are still nibbling away at the outskirts with columns of armoured vehicles ..... backed by almost continuous air bombardment by US coalition aircraft.

Civilian casualties are climbing day-by-day, hour-by-hour and already are conservatively in the upper hundreds but the Russians are monitoring events and have satellite images showing civilian areas of Mosul being deliberately bombed by coalition aircraft. The State department has acknowledged civilian casualties due to their bombing and a spokes man said ‘... there are bound to be accidents’. :x Of course .... what else could they say? :x

The Kuznetsov - it completed its W-E transit of the Med, without any interference from ‘enemy’ forces and, before it reached its destination, was practising take-off’s and landings off the south coast of Crete. They have obviously now made all the aircraft remote control ..... because someone who claims to be very well informed, said the Russians didn’t have any suitably trained pilots. It is now on station with the rest of the flotilla and will no doubt be working with land based aircraft, long range bombers and ground forces to finally take Aleppo in the next few days. :roll:

The base at Akrotiri has been very active all day today, no doubt dropping magic bombs ‘... that only kill IS terrorists‘, on the people of Mosul. :roll:
