why are there more suicides today?
- Thread starter arcturus88
- Start date
Wow, a new study by a group of Australian scientists has found that the national suicide rate increases when political conservatives are in power. They found that middle-aged and older people were most at risk, and that when Conservatives ruled both state and federal governments, men were 17% more likely to commit suicide and women were 40% more likely to kill themselves. Why is there such a powerful and significant effect?
“There is a strong relationship between socio-economic status and suicide,” said lead researcher Professor Richard Taylor, of the University of Sydney, Australia. “We think that it may be because material conditions in lower socio-economic groups may be relatively better under labour because of government programs, and there may be a perception of greater hope by these groups under labour.”

One of the reasons for the high suicide rates is the ageing trend in almost every country. All sorts of problems will come with ageing. The first is health problem which usually depletes the savings of almost every retiree. Next will be the social discrimination against the aged resulting in the difficulty of the elderly in finding jobs or be the first to be retrenched during recession.
Hence it is not surprising for an elderly to resort to suicide when he finds his life too long and hellish. When somebody does something silly or dangerous like doing planking at the edge of a roof of a skyscraper or lying down on the yellow line in the middle of a highway as cars fly past, his Chinese friend may reproach him, rather jokingly, with the old Chinese saying: “You must have found your life too long like Shou Xing, the star god of longevity, that you have to hang yourself.”

The waning or tearing down of Christianity may play a role...

Karl Rove had to go through completely unexpected suicide of his mom:
Karl Rove: My mom's suicide was preventable | Fox News
The year was 1981.
