    France today is not the France it used to be. It used to be a damn good country.

    Just to be clear, you are France. Not French (i.e., a national of france), not an individual, but the country it's self. Right?

    Thus the joke.

    However I did specifically ask if you were the country.

    No, no I'm not the country as France is not allowed to write on DP :)
    By the way, I'm still being amused by some french bashers.

    Seriously I can't be the only one that sees the other common factor: They were depressed (thus the antidepressants). The more logical thing that this shows is how ineffective antidepressants are.

    Before the age of 25, anti-depressents have been shown to have the opposite effect on people.

    The brain has not sufficiently developed before then.

    25? Isn't that a little late in life to claim that the brain isn't well developed?

    Those studies could just as easily mean that antidepressants aren't as effective on < 25 year olds. Maybe due to the higher hormone levels and mood fluctuations in that age group.

    Under 25 is not "less effective" it's a negative effect. Under 25 makes you far more likely to kill yourself which is the exact opposite of what the drugs are supposed to do.

    Then I would want to know who is more likely to kill themselves in the first place without antidepressants? < 25 or > 25? If it's > 25, there could be something to it, but if it's < 25, I would have trouble trusting that kind of study because they're already more likely.

    Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung-Hui said his shooting rampage could have been avoided but "you forced me into a corner," in a videotape that was part of a package of writings

    The latest update on this massacre

    no matter what his rhetoric was, the reason for doing such a thing does not exist.
