OBJECTIVE: Few studies have investigated the association between religion and suicide either in terms of Durkheim’s social integration hypothesis or the hypothesis of the regulative benefits of religion. The relationship between religion and suicide attempts has received even less attention.
METHOD: Depressed inpatients (N=371) who reported belonging to one specific religion or described themselves as having no religious affiliation were compared in terms of their demographic and clinical characteristics.
RESULTS: Religiously unaffiliated subjects had significantly more lifetime suicide attempts and more first-degree relatives who committed suicide than subjects who endorsed a religious affiliation. Unaffiliated subjects were younger, less often married, less often had children, and had less contact with family members. Furthermore, subjects with no religious affiliation perceived fewer reasons for living, particularly fewer moral objections to suicide. In terms of clinical characteristics, religiously unaffiliated subjects had more lifetime impulsivity, aggression, and past substance use disorder. No differences in the level of subjective and objective depression, hopelessness, or stressful life events were found.
CONCLUSIONS: Religious affiliation is associated with less suicidal behavior in depressed inpatients. After other factors were controlled, it was found that greater moral objections to suicide and lower aggression level in religiously affiliated subjects may function as protective factors against suicide attempts. Further study about the influence of religious affiliation on aggressive behavior and how moral objections can reduce the probability of acting on suicidal thoughts may offer new therapeutic strategies in suicide prevention.http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.…

Say for example on the scale of the French or Russian revolution.
Could it have resulted in a totalitarian dictatorship?

I’ll lead you through the plot points
1) A large percentage of the global population is killed by a virus. the world is now ruled by a handful of powerful companies/corporations
2) All strands of the virus were thought to be destroyed/extinct, Corporation A (name pending) keeps a secret supply of the strand so their scientists can develop a biological weapon to use against their enemies
3) Head scientist creates a new strand of virus, with the cure developed from his son’s DNA, blood, genetics (will decide later)
4) Their enemies, corporation B, kidnaps/kills/makes a deal with (haven’t decided yet) the scientist and steal the virus
5) Corporation A decide they must protect the boy at all costs because his body holds the only cure if this new virus is used against them. They decide to watch over the boy from a distance. However, Corporation B has realized the boy is the cure and send an agent to kidnap him.
The two main plots will basically be:
1) The boy researching his father’s whereabouts while living a “normal” life with school
2) Corporation A protecting the boy from Corporation B’s agent

So I’m in the Air Force right now, and when I get out I want to finish my pilot’s license and follow that as a career, the problem is that’s extremely expensive and there’s not enough jobs to go around, so I may need a plan B for a while until I can find a job as a pilot.
I have two passions other than piloting, and that’s learning languages and computers. I started my major at university with Chinese, but to be honest I’ve found that majoring in any language -even Chinese- really isn’t that useful and is still a hard niche to fill job-wise.
Computers on the other hand are everywhere, and I really feel that getting some kind of degree related to computers is really the best bet if i want a solid plan B.
So first question is, do you agree with my logic here? Or am I missing something?
And second, what should I study to prepare my self for a job in IT? To be a bit more specific, I dont’ really like the programming aspect of it, I really like the hands-on ie hardware.
Can anyone please recommend something for me, give me a direction, or even just some tips on how I can narrow down what some good choices would be?
Thank you!

ok so my bf and I have been together for a little while. I love him so much and has never given me a reason not to trust him. also he is bisexual. he has been faithful me since we have been together. Lately tho, he’s been having text convos with his gay hairdresser. We had a booth at a flea market this past weekend and saw him. His name is Kyle. they walked around and talked. Then later that night Kyle texted him. I pretty much begged my bf to tell Kyle he is in a happy relationship with me. He said he will. When I checked hiatus cell last night though, he had a long convo with Kyle and didn’t say one thing about having a gf. Kyle had asked what he was up to and my bf said he was drinking wine answer watching a movie. he just happened to leave out he was watching it with me. also Kyle asked him if he has gotten out to enjoy the warm weather. my bf said he went for a couple walks. he went for walks with me! He could easily have said he was doing those with me but he didn’t. is he keeping me secret? what am I suppose to think?!
