I don't want to start an edit war, but I don't appreciate my edits being reverted with no justification. I made the true statement that Norway is a socialist country and mentioned a plausible effect (that Norway has a higher suicide rate than the U.S.), with documentation. It's a well-known fact that socialism squashes individual liberty and so it makes sense that people in such a country would find their lives meaningless and hopeless. I'm putting the edits back in until a plausible reason for removing them is offered. ---[[User:DennisRifkin|DennisR]] 02:49, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

:The edit you posted - "Norway is a socialist country, which is probably what accounts for the fact that Norway has a higher suicide rate than the United States of America, which is a capitalist nation" - is speculation, and made so by your use of the word "probably". You're further making a speculative statement by taking your reference and making a connection to socialism where none exists in that reference. You have to be accurate here.

:Fair enough, I admit that the connection is somewhat speculative, but I feel like the article should have some mention of Norway's socialism and the negative effects on its society. Maybe there could be a separate section on that? I'd be happy to put something together. ---[[User:DennisRifkin|DennisR]] 10:42, 13 August 2011 (EDT)
