Death rates for different jobs
<I just found some numbers from 2004 that I thought were kind of odd.>
Annual death rates per person:
U.S. military forces in Iraq: 0.5%
Inner city black teens during the 1990s: 1%
Inmates on death row: 2%
Foot soldier in a gang: 7%
<How messed up is this?!?>

Re: Death rates for different jobs
I heard once that dentists have the highest suicide rate. I never quite understood that.

So just shut your face and take a seat, 'cause after all, we're just talking meat. And music?
Well, it's just entertainment, folks.

<I wonder what the suicide rate is for people who work the suicide hotline.>

I find that morbidly hilarious.
I have a horrible sense of humor, I know.

Re: Death rates for different jobs
I've spoken to a few humans who were suicidal before, and some of the stuff they say can make you feel depressed. Despite how necessary it is, I honestly believe that working at a suicide hotline must be one of the worst jobs for the employees.

Re: Death rates for different jobs
Really, it is a selfless job. I have some odd views regarding suicide (which I won't share here since they would be very controversial, plus the fact that they're really not needed), but I think they are some of the real heroes in this world.
