Suicide slaying

But in all seriousness, I think the reason for suicide's numbers going up reflect a larger sympathy for those who do kill themselves. As suicides become more public and discussed in the media, I feel that the sentiment of condemning those who choose to take their own lives has lessened. At least that's what I hope is the reason behind that increase.

But a lot of those Socialist European countries are among the happiest nations in the world and they also have some of the highest standards of living in the world...so they must be doing something right...not saying that I completely agree with Socialism but

But really it's just evolution -> left. Conservative social views are just a product of ignorance and will slowly but surely disappear

Being conservative is not a bad thing. It just means you want laws to change more slowly and not have things move too quick. Why change what already works?

I believe in a balance. Conservative is being cautious the proper kind. The one people hate is called ignorance.

You can't compare the United States to Europe.

In psychology there's the whole in group out group theory. People are more willing to have more social laws pass because they all share a common bond a brotherhood. While the United States is way too fractured. It's hard for the middle class to want laws when they feel like their money is being badly used, they would in fact want less welfare than more. If there was a little less diversity and a feeling of a nationhood in the United States it would be more social leaning.

Ew at fewer against animal medical testing. It's a necessary component of disease research and drug trialing with the technology we have now.

Divorce (+12)

Why should divorce not be socially acceptable? Should Americans repress reality?

Medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos (+12)

Embryonic stem cells hold the key to curing many major classes of currently incurable diseases, most notably neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's etc.) and cancer. The embryos are lab grown - it hurts nobody but could benefit tens of millions of people.

Doctor-assisted suicide (+7)

Alzheimer's alone merits assisted suicide in the final stages of the disease.

Abortion (+3)

Women's health issues are more socially acceptable? How shocking.
