Skeptical about what?

Challenge is the spice of life. Heaven sounds as though it lacks challenge. Lack of challenge brings boredom and depression. Boredom and depression are the leading causes of suicide.

Imagine an eternity where suicide is your dream. As I said, your heaven sounds dreadful.

The leading cause of depression is actually social isolation.

I would like to see the underlying statistics on that. It doesn't sound right.

Personally, I'm quite glad I don't have to put up with you assholes on a daily basis. Stop posting/reading PARD and suddently my life is so peaceful. <3

It's well substantiated enough to be in every introductory psychology book. The more social support you have the less likely you are to actually carry out the act. It's why rural Montana has a really high suicide rate and inner cities have exceptionally low rates.

But what? The overwhelming majority of suicides occur in cities.

Or perhaps I should reword that to read: The overwhelming majority of suicide attempts.

The likelihood of a suicide attempt being successful is higher in a rural area, because there's not a hospital 3 blocks away.

The overwhelming majority of people are in cities, but if you normalize for the population there's more attempts per person in rural areas.

On this, I will request proof be given. I can find nothing that justifies your statement, on several counts:

1. There are more attempts per single individual on average in high population density areas. This is primarily connected to health care saving the life of the attempted. It has gotten so bad that attempting suicide and failing has been criminalized.
2. The number of people per thousand population who attempt suicide at least once is higher in cities than it is in rural areas.
3. Pineapple STILL belongs on pizza.

Prove me wrong, because every number I see says the opposite of what you say, and you're making the assertion. :D

Okay, so what do you think the other place will be like?
