Robin Williams Dead

[Grizzman]

This is sad news for sure

I'm pretty sure I've watched every movie he was in. I will do a bit of research and watch whatever I may have missed. He was one hell of an actor.

My favorite is the Birdcage. Was watching clips of the funniest scenes on Youtube last night.

What a shame... such talent

Sad news indeed.

Patch Adams, Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs. Doubtfire are among my faves.

Here is my post from facebook....getting Likes already....

On average twenty two United States Military Veterans commit suicide every single day of the year. Desperation, no money, no help, they take their own lives after having served America. Yet none of their names ever appears, let alone dominates, the news. Guess you have to be a manic depressive millionaire comedian to be a hero in liberal minds.

Exactly Sir! No one cares about the Men and Women who devoted their lives to defending Freedom and our way of live. The men and women who suffer everyday with disabilities, injuries and loss of life. What happened to the VA story?

Yet the world stops for an Actor!!!! Who in all respects was on top of the world looking down at us mere mortals. Certainly he was a Millionaire and Famous. Poor guy had it so tough. Really? Sorry but I have no sympathy for this. Sure he was a good comedian and I enjoyed watching his Movies/Shows. But I sure as hell am not going to weep a single tear for someone who has it all and is still not enough for them.

Sorry if I offend any of you. Not my intention. He did take his own life. So exactly why should we feel sorry for him? He took the cowards path, the selfish path. Obviously could care less about anyone else but himself.

Rant over.......

Don't see any rant here.....legitimate points made, why I brought it up. We currently live in a backwards society where doing wrong and lying is rewarded and helping out and being honest is chastised. Like the world went to opposites. After WWII, GI's coming home got parades...then GI's returning from Vietnam got spit on, and one cowardly Vietnam vet even to be our current Secretary of State while having a net worth of 190 Million$ and spewing income equality. So, we reward the popular and leave the soldier unnoticed.

I have to agree with Joe. And also with an article I just read on this.

Here's a quote from that article:

Happiness and contentment are not found in our talents, our money, our luxuries, or our reputations. If wealthy, brilliant, beloved people tell us anything when they murder themselves, it must be that.

Not saying that the world should stop because of his death, but that's how the world reacts to famous people nowadays.

I lost a nephew to depression and addiction 5 years ago. Yes, it was selfish but that was HIS solution. Not saying it was the right one, but people sometimes don't have the tools to deal with life on life's terms.

Obviously, you have never suffered through alcohol or drug addiction.

The man gave of his time to USO tours and coordinated comedy shows to raise funds for the homeless. So he was a millionaire. Money can't buy happiness.

It also can't buy class. I'm not sure what pleasure you folks get out of speaking ill of the dead, but it's ugly, coldhearted and petty.

Oh well, I never really fit in here anyway.
