- Eliezer 16y agoThat's a good line, but I bet it's factually false.
- zackattack 16y agoThat's a good line, but would you care to suggest why?
- anatoly 16y agoBecause when Britain switched from coal gas to natural gas (low in carbon monoxide), the national suicide rate dropped by 40%.
- philwelch 16y agoSuicide is often an impulsive act a person might commit once in their life. Rudeness is a persistent pattern of behavior that exhibits itself many times a day.
- zackattack 16y agoI agree. Rudeness is a subtle act of body language that often goes undetected, and is probably only made more explicitly obvious by the presence of technology.

- hugh3 16y agoRudeness requires both a rude person and an opportunity for them to be rude. Heck, even relatively polite people will be rude if put in the right situation.
