    The gendering in the title has nothing to do with anything

    Ill give you a hint, its in the title of OP’s post.

    you havent been nearly upset by people failing to laser focus on that adjective

    no denying, suicide rate in the elderly is highest.

    find a mountain of evidence without me spoonfeeding each result to you.

    just google it

    The fact that you’re insisting that means reduction doesn’t work

    spoiler

    Taking away access to guns doesn’t no. My point is supported by the fact that taking away guns from the population of Australia resulted in NO reduction in suicide. None comparing the 20 years before to the 20 years after. You can’t twist that. Its a matter of fact it increased overall and dominant means changed.

    What happened when means reduction wed implemented for more common methods like jumping?

    Nice straw-man.

    factually inaccurate as everything else you’ve argued.

    Yet I am the only one who has shown clear evidence to support it while your baseless opinion and generations continues to entertain.

      Do the plot twists never end? You finally get the evidence you demanded and it’s immediately disregarded without comment because it doesn’t say what you want.
