Suicide rates have always been higher than homicide rates. But this has never been a topic of the media.
People kill themselves because they don't value their life. And in a culture that pushes life as being ugly and worthless and making people feel insufficient with the Madison Avenue propaganda machine, this is a byproduct of that.
And of course the pharmaceutical drugs that have suicidal thoughts as a side effect
But there is no money to be made in addressing these issues so it's swept under the rug
Actually, for blacks the homicide rate is higher than the suicide rate.
More American soldiers are dying from suicide than combat. Continuing to treat symptoms without addressing the cause will only allow those rates to continue climbing..... and Bush and Obama equally share the blame on this one.
I love all the compassion and care for your fellow man expressed here on C-D. Sometimes I wonder if some of you are really this callous in real life.
People like that contribute to the kind of unsupportive communities that make people want to kill themselves. Probably the same people who want to cut back on funding for community mental health, since it's only for "weaklings" and other undesirables.

You are exactly right...that is until depression or something on that order hits them or theirs and the next thing you know they are wondering why they have to live in that world they created.
How should I know? I just know they left. Maybe they went to Dubai, Dubai is booming.
So since you don't know where they went then your comment about them leaving was basically pulled out of thin air and has absolutely no truth to it, correct?
