the only countries that are higher than it are developing countries and south korea, which has the same cultural problem. you cant just throw a wikipedia page at me with no context and expect me to revise my views. especially when you punctuate a declaration with a question mark like a twelve year old. japan has a high suicide rate. deal with it.

Your original phrase is factually incorrect. Had you said what's actually true instead of exaggerating for effect, you might have gotten a different answer. And about context, question marks and twelve year olds, that's rather out of place and it's exactly what you did with your original phrase.

its nitpicking. everyone knows the japanese have a very high suicide rate. i could have pointed out that the japanese are not the healthiest people in the world. the healthiest people in the world are singapore, italy and australia. but i didnt point that out because everyone knows that the japanese are very healthy. these details are not relevant.
