Robin Williams committed suicide

[danielhv]

It does suck that such a great talent passed away, but I really dont feel any remorse for him...he took the easy way out. I think that is just showing his children and really everyone in the world who knows him, that when shit gets to rough just take your life...
RIP

Disagree. If he was truly depressed, then making the "right choices" are not as easy as it is for you or I. Depression is a disease, not a choice or mood. That's like telling a heroin addict to just stop using heroin..... Easy for you and I to say, but not quite that easy for them.

I was in disbelief when I read the news about Robin..... You just never know what demons a person is battling with.

RIP Robin.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I've lost more friends than I care to count to suicide. Depression is a very real thing, and if you've never experienced serious depression I don't think you have the right to judge. It's easy to armchair QB and say he took the east way out, etc. but I guarantee you nobody I know that's made this decision has made it lightly. They thoroughly believe the people they leave behind will be better off without them around.


Another common thread I've found is that in my experience, it is always selfless people that end things this way. They go through their whole life going out of their way to help others, make them laugh, and give so selflessly. They do this to cover up the battles they are fighting internally. Which makes it even more tragic that it ends this way. You can't rationalize it by saying "why would anyone in their right mind ______. They aren't in their right mind.

RIP.

He was hilarious, but if you ever have a hankering to see him in a serious role, check out What Dreams May Come. Great flick. The plot is even crazier now after this.

The same thing crossed my mind. RIP

Great post, I just can't get the fact that taking your life is such a selfish act out of my head. You're right though that I should'nt judge people and their decisions that they make.

Man, I have a little one and I have had some rough moments in my young life and I know that there will be even more to come as I get older and no matter how hard it gets though, I take one deep breathe and think about my wife and my little one and how lucky I am to have what I have.

Not always.

I scooped up skull fragments from my aunt's bedroom after her husband used his own son's shotgun to blast his face off. He had called her to see what time she would be home so he could time his suicide with her arrival.

Fortunately, the person walking through the door wasn't my aunt; it was her son and he was able to keep her from having to see the scene.

So no, suicide is not always the act of a selfless, mentally ill philanthropist. Sometimes it is done by a mean, cruel son of a bitch that wants to use it to inflict emotional pain.

RIP Robin. You were my favorite and will be missed.

Thought it was a requirement of the site that you had to be a prick, dick or asshole.

Since you missed the "in my experience" part of my post, I felt the need to point it out again. I can't speak to your experience or anyone else's. There is no doubt some are evil, vindictive people who do things like you describe. But I believe they are in the minority. I also don't believe Robin Williams to fall in that category, as his depression is well documented and has been for decades.

Well stated, Brent.

In your previous post you said it was easy. What's easy about doing the one thing all creatures on this planet are designed to avoid above everything else?

I also hate this "it's selfish" bullshit. It was his LIFE. He can do what ever the fuck he wants with it. Isn't it selfish to say he should have stuck around being miserable and painting on a phony smile every day just so that other people wouldn't have to deal with his death?

At the end of the day, I hate these fucking threads. They always have at least a few off the cuff assholes with their holier than thou attitude ready to step up and talk about how superior they are simply because they exist. It's the most asinine hubris, lack of understanding, and self appointed moral superiority I could possibly imagine. So you haven't managed to kill yourself? What do you want, a fucking participation trophy? Have you accomplished even 5% of what this man did in his life? I fucking doubt it. So take your bullshit elsewhere and go look for something else for people to congraDulate you on that actually matters.

When Margo Hemingway offed herself I gave a shit because she was a hot piece of ass; can't say the same for Robin Williams.

How asshole of you to say that. Thanks for your input.

Too bad Williams didn't pull a Romo, he would have thrown the rope away.
