My Gawd, you guys. I cannot even ask a question in this forum without someone taking it for more than it is. I just asked what was the suicide rate in Russia. No more, no less. This topic will not go to far anyway and I did not intend for it too. I just wanted a simple answer to a simple question.

Jo jo Russia can experience one big suicide of all times called - the pollution.

I don't know how they breathe there without felling pain in their lungs? Maybe Mediashark can explain how she survives in Moscow - one of the worst polluted cities in the world?
