Robin Williams won't be down

RIP. Still, we all have a lot of crap to deal with. News keeps talking about all his "issues. GG bridge traffic is awful on the way to Tiburon etc. Who knows. Suicide is imho the most selfish act to be done. Proof again that fame and resources are not what they are thought to be others with less.
 
Omg that is fricking terrible. I believe Mindy is dead, drugs or suicide? Now Mork, I am beside my self with all this. Of course then there is the news Of the Tony Stewart.

RIP Mork you were a great actor.

Pam Dawber(Mindy) still alive
 
Ever watch "What Dreams May Come" ? Pretty ironic. P.S. "Oh Captain, My Captain!" R.I.P.
 
F. He is the man that introduced me to comedy when I was a little guy through M & M, and one of, if not my favorite long-standing comic.

A lot of comics are really introverted, somewhat 'disturbed' people. The funny ones at least.

Suicide's no joke. I used to be a hard *** and think it was selfish or the weak way out. I had some bouts of depression not too long ago that opened my eyes. A lot of times, the essence of 'free will' is not a reality.

Sad day. RIP
 
Pam Dawber(Mindy) still alive
|Pam Dawber is married to Mark Harmon (Gibbs on NCIS).
They've been married since 1987.

Alas, I think Robin was one of those people that was crazy funny, but could be very dramatic as well. Perhaps, that was something that in his mind he just could not make it work. Too much conflict.
 
He seemed like his mind was always going about 9000 mph. A brilliant comic and a pretty good actor too. RIP Robin.
 
Shocking indeed! I saw him at a burger joint in SF (Bill's Place on Clement and about 26th) about 10 yrs ago and he was just at the table behind us with some folks. No fuss at all. One lady recognized him as she was leaving and said something nice and he responded with a smile and a thank you.

Another time walking with an old GF and her small dogs at Land's End (in SF) this guy in a cap came up and asked if the dogs were some kind of Terrier. We said no, Schnauzers actually. The guy made nice with the dogs, smiled at us and walked away. A few seconds later she stopped, looked at me and asked "was that Robin Williams?" I turned around to look back and that same moment the guy turned around and looked at us smiling.

My old buddy Mike has a daughter that had some major issues when she was born and he was darn near living at UCSF Medical Center during that ordeal. He saw him walking around the halls of the hospital making the rounds with all the sick kids.

RIP Mr. Williams and thanks for all the entertainment.
 
Terrible news..What a tragic life but at the same time an amazing one!
 
Terrible news and tragic, but suicide, I'm still not one for understanding yet, especially when so many have so much less to live for and go on, go to any hospital in a cancer ward, or where people have lost limbs, or loved ones to drunk drivers, all this and still fight for the will to live, I think everyone can feel depressed about something, but its like a drug or alcohol, you have to be strong minded enough to say no, me, I just say to myself...who gives a Fu..there's nothing in this world I can't replace or live without, including loved ones, its a natural instinct to want to survive, so a sane person, or someone who doesn't have some other chemical addiction, should be able to fight off any feelings of suicide, maybe he returned to drinking, or had some serious mental issues. No one will probably ever understand how someone can take their own life.

I've seen people who's life almost gives them the right to commit such an act come back from serious diversity, and then there's those who give up with little reason to do so. Like DennisH, I still think its a selfish and cowardly way out.

My sympathy goes only to his family.
 
I got this guy from work i was and still am tight with. Years ago he started acting funny and it got worse. One day it hit a peak and at break i asked him whats up. He started to tell me and mentioned killing himself. I called the foreman and they took him to the hospital. They gave him something and he later told me he slept for two days. He got help and he's ok. The thing is he was suffering from depression and other stuff and the big thing was he actually did not sleep for days when we had that talk. He told me the lack of sleep made him not being able to think things out and coupled with the mental issues those crazy thoughts enter your head

yeah, extreme lack of sleep is no different than being on a hallucinogen drug, your mind isn't yours anymore. Bet there were still some underlying issues, good luck with him.
 
RIP Robin. You are missed already. Maybe he did the last thing he felt he had control of. Maybe he did it because he felt compelled, and had no control. I think it takes a lot of courage to commit suicide. I don't think it's selfish or cowardly. I have no one to go to when I get old and sick. The thought of being alone and unable to care for myself, or to be stuffed into "God's waiting room"
sickens me. I hope I have enough courage to do it.

courage to commit suicide....dude, you need some help, if your reaching out and want to talk to someone, pm me or anyone else here you think might listen, cycle of life happens to us all, we all don't take our lives just because it closes to an end, but I agree, loneliness is something I guess some people are to weak to deal with, but talk like yours says you need help.
