A famous drug addict kills himself and all of a sudden it's not ok to say he was wrong to do so?

Go fuck yourselves with your bleeding hearts.

Here.....have some Prozac....

Very sad indeed. Parkinsons is such a devastating, bloody unjust illness. My brother, who doesnt drink, smoke, always used to rock climb, go fell-running, superfit, was diagnosed with it last year. Hes 60, but looks 20 years younger. He noticed a slight tremor about 2 years ago, which worsened, and then got his diagnosis. Its awful for me to think that he will possibly end up like Muhammad Ali or Robin Williams My brother is on the Eldopa medication, which allieviates it slightly, there being no cure at the moment. Its strange as there is no Parkinsons in mums or dads sides of the family, although obviously it isnt always hereditary.

All this fighting aside, I'd like to interject one comment...a few years ago a well-known personality, Montel Williams, was diagnosed with MS, an inflammatory disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged and this damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms both physical and mental.

Apparently this disease can also be incredibly painful and as a result, Williams seriously considered suicide as the pain was unceasing and nearly unbearable. Had he not eventually found means to mask the pain (including medical marijuana) he had once told his children that he couldn't stand it and may have to find a way out.

They were understandably upset by this news and begged him not to consider it for many reasons including what it would do to them. And what he said is this (and I paraphrase):

"Who are you to judge me and my ability to bear the pain I'm experiencing? Am I to spend days writhing in agony just so you can feel better? There's no way you could possibly understand my suffering unless you experience it first hand. You have no right to put your burden on me. If I can no longer endure this pain, I want the option to end my life."

The point here is what's truly selfish is judging someone else's ability to deal with pain based on our own, to expect someone else to endure agony (whatever it may be, physical or mental) just so we don't feel bad. It's selfish to expect someone to endure a living hell, just so we can have them around a while longer so we won't miss them and have nightmares or deal with trauma..

Does this mean we shouldn't try to help them? Of course not...but we have little right to judge them if they can't bear their life despite all the love and help we give them.[/QUOTE]

Bravo!

CBS show was cancelled earlier this year, had to list to sell a very expensive property in CA which he probably viewed as a "lifetime achievement" and it's also strange for 20 years to go by before talk of a movie sequel. Mrs. Doubtfire made more than $400,000,000 so it's likely Robin Williams wanted to/needed to cash in on the sequel.

Classic case of someone living beyond their means. Whether you make $50,000 a year or $5,000,000 a year, it's a common theme for people to over extend themselves financially.

If his TV show didn't get cancelled, he would still be alive.

Oh wow, you really think this is about a celebrity? It's about how society views people with a mental illness. If you didn't already decipher that then you're not worth having a discussion with.
