Sure it's an opinion. For those who are driven so crazy by PapaG, perhaps you should care less about what he writes.
Haven't clicked on a single link..... Haven't made one comment in here or Facebook about this topic until now. I loved him as an actor..... But everybody putting him on this pedestal has made me feel sick to my stomach. Everybody is taking about his battle with depression. What about his weakness with drugs and a alcohol that led to all his financial problems. Men on both sides of my family have all been alcoholics and all I've grown up with is them blaming alcohol for everything that has gone wrong in their lives. A girl a few houses down from me growing up jumped off the Fremont bridge when we were like 15...... Absolutely devastated all of us kids in the neighborhood. Tore apart her family. My girlfriend my senior year killed herself. We had broken up after the first of the year.... And she took her life in March. She had reached out to me the night before. It was probably the hardest thing I had ever dealt with. I was very angry at her about it for years. Everybody's situation is different, but in my opinion, suicide is the chicken shit way out. They aren't the victim..... Wives, husbands, innocent kids and loved ones are. They shouldn't have to suffer for your weaknesses. This is my opinion and I hope nobody is offended by it. My thoughts and prayers are with his family that he quit on NOT with him.
His financial problems were caused by the evil legal system taking most of his money for the crime of divorce. A man is foolish to get married.
Alcohol is often self-medicating used by people hurting. The hateful attitudes we see here explain why people suffering as Williams did don't reach out. They are afraid they will hear exactly what PapaG and cmeese say, get the fuck over yourself, dude. Man up. What the hell do you have to be sad about?
I've gone through a lot of shit in my life. Guess what I do when I get knocked down? Get the Fuck back up and keep moving on in life. I have a childhood buddy who smokes pot and drinks as a crutch because he doesn't want to face reality. You know what got him there? Himself. He blames his mom which is ridiculous. His brother is a 4.0 student going to school to be a doctor. Alcohol and drug use is a lame excuse.
This article is a terrific read: http://www.theguardian.com/commenti...nd-robin-williams-divine-madness-broken-world Russell Brand: Robin Williams’ divine madness will no longer disrupt the sadness of the world
It seems like Fonz was the one who overreacted in this thread, not PapaG. Multiple posters have said the same things as PapaG now People who have dealt with people close to them committing suicide, and their opinion on it is pretty much the same as the opinion expressed by PapaG. As always, the management here on S2 is pretty bad, and a poster was once banned again for it. A lot of posters banned/suspended these days which was unheard of 3-4 years ago. Feels like Steve Patterson and John Nash are running this place honestly
You were never banned. You were suspended for 24hrs and you made a different moniker so you could continue posting.
I can think of three without even putting out any effort..myself, Maxie and RoyToy..seems that I have seen a couple of others..but for the most part it has been a pile on..can not say I am thrilled with the direction PapaG went...but I have gained an understanding why there was an apparent dis equity of fair play.
