The guy is a cartoon character, similar to JJ Gold, just a different personality. Could he be Journeyman the bodybuilder that won't show up at a bash? Perhaps. I think it's funny that he keeps posting and posting in this thread and ignoring the question about life insurance. Clown like Bozo.
Back to the Robin Williams issue:
I feel strongly that as a society we make a serious and grave mistake when we (maybe in subtle ways) glorify suicide. The Academy of Motion Picture and Sciences today tweeted a picture of Robin Williams from Aladdin, where he was the genie, and Aladdin lets him out of the bottle and says "You're free Genie."
To somehow insinuate the killing oneself is liberating is irresponsible and dangerous, especially to vulnerable young people who might be considering it.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention worries about the subliminal message. Christine Moutier, chief medical officer at the AFSP, expressed concern about the tweet, telling the Washington Post Tuesday, “Suicide should never be presented as an option,” before adding, “(it) presents suicide in too celebratory a light.”
There needs to be a societal stigma when it comes to suicide, and we shouldn't paint it as a liberating option.

I saw you state this before & yes, they only work for some because of each persons unique body chemistry.......
If that's the case, why are they handing them out like they are the cure all?
They hand them out like candy to every Jane, Dick & Harry that walks thru the door.
You have anxiety, here's prozac......if you show or you answer that you have any for of depression, or are depressed cause something minor happened in your life like you lost $500 betting on a game, here's some prozac.....
They are way out of control handing out these meds.
this is what i was trying to say in my earlier post. thanks for putting it better than i could. my thoughts exactly. now, as someone mentioned earlier, i guess i could change the channel but what about those who dont and their kids see this suicide being glorified. or if my kid is at a friends house, or they show and discuss it in school, or its on the news while he is in his room or sportscenter or every other channel on tv? again, shouldnt be discussed so much (glorified). im sure 20/20 or dateline will run a 2 hr special on rw tonight or tmrw night though so we can see more of it....
Bzzzt. I would feel the same way if I wasn't a Christian. I would say the exact same thing that the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention said, and they are by no means a religious organization.

No, AFAIK JC has never stiffed anyone. Don't think he even bets other posters or anything....
Also that is a little strong of a message that hanging yourself is somehow "freeing" even though if I had Parkinsons I'd likely rather be dead too....Nothing liberating about choking yourself to death...
