I am sorry. My browser plus autoclick software are tricky to use the post should have ended with ( Lawrence says) >>>>>>>>>>>> I have said as much in previous notes. It didn't surprise me to read Thornton's reference. It would surprise me to learn that this situation is as rosy as official European statistics indicate. <<<<<<<<<<<< WHO stats. WHO stats used, your reply to me says, *by Thornton*. He and I used WHO stats, for different years (2 years apart). He also used US data on suicide in the US but these don't insofar as I can tell make any difference at all. Another little point. France has a high suicide rate, but also has the highest birthrate in Europe, has a firm official fully integrationist/anti cultural pluralist policy/practice, has very tough anti-terrorist policies, etc., etc..
