Sigh. Find me one person who had a parent kill themselves while the person was a child, who says that it didn't have a profound devastating effect on their life.

What a really stupid position you are taking.

Im saying all his children are grown adults with multiple parents and support.

Yea, it's devastating for children to lose a parent. That's why it's a selfish act. It's even harder for parents when their child kills them self. Some never recover. Very selfish thing to do to your loved ones.

Im just saying they're tons of children with situations 10x worse

I don't agree with much akphidelt says, but he's spot on here...

This is what I like about fz.

When he agrees with you he will tell you even if it's from someone he does not like.
If the rest of the political forum was like that it would be readable


With that being said I disagree with both you and ##.
## told me to keep his name out of my mouth . So there you go ##.

If you aren't available 24/7 to receive calls from a friend or family member that is suicidal daily, then you're selfish. You up for that, or would you let it go to voicemail during Monday Night Football?

I've agreed with you throughout this entire thread Illini. Imagine that huh?

The thing is we all can discuss and argue and crap all day on this but in the end their is no correct answer, no one is right in their statements because we don't know , half say selfish more say not selfish, victims state not selfish but those here who have no clue or training or dealings with say selfish. So in the end is just an opinion we all have. We will never know. So I say we have a moment of silence for a funny actor that entertained us and let this drift to the bottom until 5 Team Parlay brings it from the depths for his birthday or anniversary of a movie or something. The same stuff by the same people just keeps getting said over and over with no meaning.

RIP Mr Williams. I hope this thread will to

Isn't it also fair to consider that if he was suffering from depression he wouldn't be able to see things 'rationally' the way someone not suffering from the disease would see them. It's just silly to imagine you know what his experience was like and silly to judge his choice. You just don't know.

It's not like being in your right mind and making a choice. Your making the choice when you're entire outlook and thinking is compromised from mental illness.

He had a screw loose. And decided there was no hope in the future. Look at Michael J Fox. He didn't kill himself when he found out he had
PD. Robin took the easy way out. To bad for his family and the whole world.

We still have people not understanding with depression is.

Depression isn't the same shit as when you feel sad. The guy did not take the easy way out. He probably fought with suicidal thoughts for decades.

I would consider suicide too if I had two ex-wife leeches bleeding me dry. The Parkinson's is probably what sent him over the edge..

Some people will never understand the severe depression like what RW was going thru, it comes a point where its worthless to try explaining.......

Unless these people actually suffer from chronic depression for decades, which is a battle every day, they won't understand......& there is not easy about killing yourself......its definitely the wrong way to ho about solving problems because is solves nothing but grief for the remaining people alive.

That's the attitude my friend, is never easy but no one can judge no one. We need to spend more time bettering ourselves than judging anybody else.

Here's a quote from his youngest child. Suicide is by far one of the most selfish things you can do. Passing the suffering off to your family is just despicable... I've seen mothers, siblings, children, etc who were never the same. Many fall to addiction and their own depression. How people can be so nonchalant in someone choosing to kill them self and leave that pain on their family is beyond me...



“My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments.


While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.


To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh, too. … Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.”

Yeah, but poster Shub says Robin Williams' kids are adults so they can handle it.

Really? I said they candle handle it? I said they're all adults and have multiple parents. Not to mention million dollar trust funds. Compare that to the kids who have nothing after losing a parent. Keep trying zit.

I'm embarrassed that I even engage you in discussion, you're so obtuse. You mention "multiple parents" like that actually means something? So because Robin's biological kids' mother may have remarried, that makes his suicide easier to handle? Is that really what you're trying to argue? The fact is, it's very clear from his old child's mouth how they feel, and it's not even up for argument:

"Here's a quote from his youngest child. Suicide is by far one of the most selfish things you can do. Passing the suffering off to your family is just despicable..."

Oh, wait, they might have a trust fund? And that makes it better? OMFG.
