Alice Posted August 13, 2014 Such a waste. He was a talented guy. “They said that marijuana was a ‘performance-enhancing drug.’ Marijuana enhances many things — colours, tastes, sensations, but you are certainly not fucking empowered. When you’re stoned, you’re lucky if you can find your own goddamn feet. The only way it’s a performance-enhancing drug is if there’s a big fucking Hershey bar at the end of the run.” 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimystic Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I like what this guy has to say... I don't think women's lib is all about this sort of thing but there are too many examples of when it gets ridiculous here in the states... I don't know all the facts here but it just doesn't make sense, though I do understand depression and have considered suicide in the past so I know what its like to be out of my own element... I can only imagine he felt fully taken advantage of and so I can't judge him for that... when I hit a peak in depression x anxiety, it really felt like I had lost everything I had ever worked for... but turned out I had to lose the material shit to realize what i'll always have... and I can only imagine its that much more difficult for someone of his stature... He is missed Edited August 13, 2014 by Spine Collector 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Planthunter Posted August 13, 2014 So sad. He was so funny. That look would come over his face just moments before he delivered his one liners. Robin Williams would make me laugh so much that my sides ached and tears rolled down my face. He was a good guy. So humble and giving. RIP... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is missed That guy who did the video was painfully dumb, but may have a point. Don't wanna trivialise Robin's death or use it as a launching pad for agendas, but the the divorce system is completely fucked up in the west, don't doubt for a second that his divorces and their baggage contributed toward his suicide. We are nurturing a sick system here people. Check this out: ..sucks it has to be this way, but I'm making damn sure all my major assets are in trusts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Optimystic Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Suicide only happens when the pain is so hard that death is a comforting thought... just still a little shocked that someone like RW got to that point and and that age.... and that someone like him, especially having kids didn't find a way through it .. smdh fact is he was a nice guy, he gave a shit cause he always made the effort to make people laugh.. and its unfortunate that we live in a society that shits on the nice people and rewards the greed as if its a god-like attribute...

PositiveHAL Posted August 14, 2014 Great comedy/Great tragedy. I received a phone call today on the office phone from an elderly woman, (she was incorrectly patched through to me instead of another department, but before I could realize this) she mentioned that her sons funeral was later this week because he'd hung himself. After awkwardly redirecting her call and apologising, I couldn't help but wonder how many other suicides have been influenced by Robin's? anyway just wanted to get that off my chest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
