this weekend is me and a few of my friends annual camping trip to a friends lake lot. shes got a trailer that we stay in that has this tiny tv and a vcr. when we go out we'll have a night where we'll play the aladdin drinking game (basically just drinking while watching the movie). weve done this for 4 or 5 years now. i dont think we'll be continuing that tradition this year. RIP dude you were the best.

You should watch What Dreams May Come instead. I seem to remember that being underrated.

That's not really a movie that works for a drinking game..

Drink every time there's a reference to a classic work of art.

I'm trying to view his suicide as more of a gonzo-esque spur that he was at peace with, as oppose to a long, deep seeded crippling bout of depression.

It's not reasonable to assume, but that's what I'd like to believe i guess.

fgt_edd 08-12-2014 08:51 PM

well even tho israelis are killing bunch of palestinian civilians(including kids), the world is blind to that for some reason but when an 63-year old multimillionaire actor commits suicide its somehow sad and everyone should put their attention towards that..

Even if it doesn't make any sense, RIP i enjoyed his movies.

Well then I expect you to give all your money to charity instead of spending it on video games, fast food, the internet, Cable TV, a cellphone, MUSIC, or going to see Robin Williams movies. If you're that against frivolity in the face of human suffering then you should also be against frivolous spending while there are starving children in Africa. Otherwise you would just be a self-righteous hypocrite looking for attention by being a douche in a thread about a person who has just died.

first off he didnt die he commited suicide, its not natural and no one has the right to do it, and no reason can explain it.i didnt say anything about the actor i just said that the dead civilians should be the bigger concern, he was 63..kids are dying..didnt say anything about mine or his wealth i just noted it.just like im noting that there are victims which didnt deserve or want to die are worth the mourning, not some dude who decided to kill himself, im not judging just saying my thoughts..

again, rip, jumanji made my childhood better

I don't get it, he didn't die? Pretty sure he died. The way he went is irrelevant. What exactly does Robin Williams have to do with starving children? I hate it when people always bring this up.

Suicide is a touchy topic and I disagree with the way you look at it. The right is not for somebody else to dictate, and no, there are reasons. I doubt many people decide to end their lives without a reason. Depression is a HUGE reason... it alters your mind state.

The dead civilians should definitely be a big concern, but once again, what does that have to do with Robin Williams? If someone important to you died would you not mourn them... because starving kids and dead civilians that you realistically can't even help much in the first place? Why would you put all that guilt on your shoulders for? You gonna do anything about it? No. I doubt it.

You wanna know who did?

This awesome mother****er.

Robin Williams spread joy off-screen through charity work - LA Times

And now you're implying that we should care more about the kids because they are dying and they want to live, and that Robin Williams death isn't as important because he wanted to die. Now that's just ****ed up.

"some dude who decided to kill himself'"

You obviously don't know anything about depression or suicide. I think it's funny that you're shoving your moral balls down people's throats like you have some guilt driven obligation to judge tragedy based on how 'important' it is. It is sad all around. Trying to imply that there is a difference between any of it is just stupid really.

- sorry for interrupting a thread dedicated to Robin Williams, we should get back on topic now. -

Shhhhhhh

don't say his name.

He's like Beetlejuice, if you say his name enough times he'll come back again.

GuD 08-12-2014 11:32 PM

Also way to be an insensitive asshat about suicide, newbie. Not natural? Not his right? The **** planet are you on bro?

I got the same feeling. I wonder if fgt_edd doesn't live in Bosnia-Herzegovina but somewhere near Pittsburgh.

fgt_edd 08-12-2014 11:35 PM

im sorry, english is not my native i meant didnt die by natural causes :tramp:

im sorry for going offtopic, rip again

GuD 08-12-2014 11:39 PM

Alright well that makes a bit more sense but still dude.

Depression is no joke, especially when people are suicidal. If you don't understand or can't relate to someone who is dealing with those things it's really best not to comment until you do.

That said the media has been covering casualties not just in the Israeli-Palestine conflict but also casualties and human tragedy across the globe. The Ebola outbreak. North Korea. India... it's ****ing ****ed everywhere, man. That kind of stuff is sadly happening all the damn time. Doesn't make it any less or more important, it just doesn't affect people the same way as when someone they relate to or grew up with passes- especially in the way Robin Williams did.

Psy-Fi 08-13-2014 12:01 AM

yeah dude, i suffered from depression a long time, i know how it feels and all but still, my thoughts on suicide are the same, if someone does it, he doesnt deserve the mourning..its the cowards way out thats just my opinion and i wont change it because i suffered a lot and never thought about throwing away my life. :beer:

DwnWthVwls 08-13-2014 05:07 PM

You don't think it can be a rational and calculated decision?

Mondo Bungle 08-13-2014 05:19 PM

Suicide's not a coward's way out, do you know how much balls it takes to kill yourself? I'd imagine a heavy amount. A heavy amount of balls.

When people say it's a coward's way out they are referring to instead of the person actually dealing with life and problems that might be in their life they just give up.

Mondo Bungle 08-13-2014 05:34 PM

I guess.........

I think it can be a different story for some people though, IanCurtis, for example

But isn't death the hardest decision ever? I mean, it's your life, your choice. Choosing death is just one way to deal with life.

GuD 08-13-2014 07:33 PM

people who feel suicidal usually don't understand that it's even possible to deal with their problems. it's like this looming feeling that just beckons and nags you and says "this is the only way out". some people wisen up and realize it's not. others are not so fortunate.

True for some, not for all. But fuck all of that anyway.

Let's stop making this RIP Robin Williams thread another stupid internet discussion. A great person who was loved by many has died. And it's fucking sad when that happens. Peace out Mork/Popeye/My Captain, etc

I am so sad. I feel so **** that my childhood hero has left this world. A bright light has gone out. I was pretty disappointed to see that his daughter was receiving horrible tweets that claimed to be a picture of Robin's body in a morgue. Poor thing, that's the last thing she needs. Blasted trolls. Also, he spent a lot of time with a Gorilla who became close to him and apparently the gorilla cried when the zoo keepers said Robin had died. The Gorilla can speak through sign language.

Robin Williams Had Parkinson's Disease, Wife Reveals In Touching Statement

He probably decided it wasn't worth the suffering and that he was just going to get it over with. Still incredibly sad, but when someone has a life altering disease like that I can't blame them for wanting to avoid the immense suffering.

That's pretty much exactly how I felt about the news as well.
