The rise in suicides may also stem from the economic downturn over the past decade. Historically, suicide rates rise during times of financial stress and economic setbacks. “The increase does coincide with a decrease in financial standing for a lot of families over the same time period,” Dr. Arias said.

The Obama hasn't even hit the fan, so to speak, in terms of the looming economic severity they say is coming our way.

As they did during the Depression. My grandparents used to tell kitchen table horror stories about that.

Allowing 12 million or three times as many illegals, and the multitude who will flood in after the great enabling, who don’t even respect our laws, to come in under their special, I don’t care about America’s laws and take more resources, ought to fix it.

Suicide became the leading cause of death the same year Ubama took office.

Coincidence?

More people now die of suicide than in car accidents,....because the accident rate has fallen because less folks can afford to drive and the new cars allow maiming instead of outright death.

With all the illegals and their families here now and millions more soon to come, who needs those gringos anyway?

Ain’t that right Marco?

This boggles the mind... Americans voted for the unicorns and rainbow of hopenchange twice, and are reaping what they asked for. Why the despondency?

Response to the first comments on this thread: If you really truly count on Government, there’s nobody, in the end, on whom to count. That’s why we call it the “culture of death,” and that’s what links pro-lifers, family values and 2A advocates, and property/states rights people: Ours is the culture of LIFE, the Abrahamic culture of the Individual under one God. “Shema Israel Adonai eloheinu Adonai EHOD.”

because of mental illness is on the increase due to the idiots telling sick people it’s alright to be a different sex or to pretend to be something you hate like a guy or insert you penis into a mans ass or dress as a woman or be told you are different so express yourself.

Today I read bathrooms are about equality and boys and girls should be equal and not have different bathrooms

That is how insane some have become

Every time I hear of someone dying by running in to a bridge, tree, or telephone poll I wonder if they didn't commit suicide in a vehicle to get the extra life insurance for their families.

Historically men in their fifties have been a demographic with high risk for suicide. The idea that suicide is the province of the young and the elderly has always been mistaken.

More people now die of suicide than in car accidents

Is that because there are more suicides or are car accidents are becoming less deadly because of safety features and better trauma care?

If only all these suicides would take a leftist or two out with them.

Instead they give the enemy bastard his victory.
