It's tragic that a man who brought unmeasurable amounts of joy to this horrible fucking planet had to go out in such a dark, lonely way. I hope he found peace from whatever it was that was haunting him. It's our job to try and make up for his loss, because the world is a much darker place without him.

[Vyal]

Am I the only one that thinks this guy should not be cheered by everyone in the USA because he hung himself?

[Portasaurus]

Yesterday, while at Wendy's getting coffee, I saw an old man sitting all alone in the dining room.

It made me incredibly sad to think why he was there, all dressed up, all by himself. Maybe this is the place he used to come with his late Wife? Maybe he just has no friends and is slowly watching the clock on his limited time left? Was this all I had to look forward to in life?

I guess I didn't want to forget it.

Yes because you're missing the point completely. Congratulations.

[Archalen]

Am I the only one that thinks this guy should not be cheered by everyone in the USA because he hung himself?

He had a very bad drug problem. That can start very early in life before you have enough perspective to make mature choices, and then the physical addiction caused by a few bad choices can haunt you for the rest of your life. He was seeking help recently, but who knows how much damage it had done to him by then. Obviously a lot though; he must have been miserable. Sometimes things happen and they are really nobody's fault. So yes, we are allowed to celebrate his life. RIP.

Always make time for the elderly. I used to be a postman and was the highlight of ~25 people's days even if I only saw them briefly. A lot of them didn't have any visiting family and the warden who ran the place was a bitch.

Sad picture that, I'd sit down with him for a coffee.

Suicide is the most selfish thing a man can do. Unlike thousands of other Americans who take their life, he at least had the means to get the best treatment money could afford to help with his demons.

[Gaffin 7.0]

Meh. For all you know he's got an incredible fulfilling life with lots of company, and you just encountered him when he was finally able to get just a few minutes of peace and calm.

Solitude is great.

Wrong, expecting somebody to continue living just because you don't want them gone is more selfish.

No its not. That's called love and affection which is completely natural. Its cruel to want someone to live? Get outta here!!!

[Tenlaar]

Feeling that a person should continue to live regardless of said person's wishes because of how it would affect you is the more selfish, yes.


No its not. That's called love and affection which is completely natural. Its cruel to want someone to live? Get outta here!!!
Nobody said anything about cruel. Love and affection do not entail wanting somebody to continue to suffer simply because you prefer that over the lack of their presence.

[baakss]

Depression is fairly common with comedians. It's typical to tell jokes in order to mask how you're feeling, but when you're expected to be funny, and people notice you're not being funny, they ask you what's wrong, etc.. So it becomes drilled into you that you have to be funny in order to not get a negative reaction.

Anyway, it reminds me of this video here... "I have to keep telling jokes because I'm a clown. And nobody wants to see the clown in pain because that's not funny."

why

[Tenlaar]

There is nothing "hardcore" about it. Good attempt at dismissing the views of those who disagree with you though.

[GnashingOfTeeth]

If you bring kids into this world, and take on a spouse who depends on you, yes I believe you have a duty to stay around. You may hurt, but dammit seek help, especially from those closest to you.
You may take your own life, but you will ruin others that you cherish so much. I grew up with Robin Williams and am very sad about his suicide. But when it comes down to it, for me you take on the responsibility when you make the call to propagate and marry.

Having suffered depression myself, its no light topic indeed.

I hope he finds rest, and his family can find comfort and solace.

[Tenlaar]

If you bring kids into this world, and take on a spouse who depends on you, yes I believe you have a duty to stay around.

It's not like he left infants, his children are full grown adults and I'm pretty sure that his wife was as well.

[GnashingOfTeeth]

It's not like he left infants, his children are full grown adults and I'm pretty sure that his wife was as well.

Adults or not, in my world the family bond just becomes stronger from birth to grave.
I am pretty sure it has absolutely crushed them and changed their lives forever. No one in their right mind would want that.

It's hard enough losing someone to natural causes you love, suicide makes it 10x worse in my experience, having lost a very good friend to the very thing.

Thus seek help, especially from those close to you if you can. Hopefully they will see your need and pain.

Its not debatable in my book if you think suicide is ok, we are on 2 different planes thought wise.

[Tenlaar]

I am pretty sure it has absolutely crushed them and changed their lives forever. No one in their right mind would want that.

The whole point is that it's not about what other people want. Expecting somebody to continue living in pain just because other people don't want them gone is ridiculous.

[Zaela]

lots of overreaction to this one

at least someone will make a profit off the old movie boom.

[Glenzig]

Its actually not though.

[GnashingOfTeeth]

Ok, I challenge you. Walk in to your group of close family if you have one (no insult intended if you do not) ask them how they would truly feel if you committed suicide.

Spend and hour, reflect on their reactions, and then decide.

[Tenlaar]

Its actually not though.

Except it is.

[Glenzig]

Except it is.

The person that takes their life is the only one who will never have to live with that choice.

[Gaffin 7.0]

pretty sure he did seek help, it doesnt cure you 100 % just makes you feel better, rehab and all, we have no idea what he was mentally going through and it must have been alot, crazy pills just make it worse over time and are for only the really insane people who cant even do anything without harming others without them

[Tenlaar]

Ok, I challenge you. Walk in to your group of close family if you have one (no insult intended if you do not) ask them how they would truly feel if you committed suicide.

I don't have to, I've had people commit and attempt suicide as well. You do not have a unique perspective on the issue.

I could say the same to you, though. Go ask a group of your close family how long they would expect you to continue living in mental or physical anguish, how long they would place more importance on themselves than the fact that you are unhappy and in pain.

[Tenlaar]

The person that takes their life is the only one who will never have to live with that choice.

And the only person who would have to continue to live their shitty, unhappy life that they don't want any more if they stick around because some other people are afraid to deal with loss and/or unable to accept that people come and go in life and it is outside of their control.

And the only person who would have to continue to live their shitty, unhappy life that they don't want any more if they stick around because some other people are afraid to deal with loss and/or unable to accept that people come and go in life and it is outside of their control.

So they just need to suck it up? I'm not saying I know what everyone who commits suicide is going through, and lord knows this world is just too much for some people to deal with. But you're being extremely one sided in your viewpoint. It ruins peoples lives just as much, and sometimes more so, as any other form of death. Just because so.eone made the choice to kill themselves doesn't just magically remove the pain of losing a loved one. In most cases it makes it that much worse because immediate family members feel extreme guilt over not bring able to see it coming and help. It really just causes a cycle of depression and guilt.

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

I would like to point out that more likely than not, Robin Williams's family will eventually emotionally recover from their loss. Robin Williams himself was clearly not recovering from his ailment despite doing everything in his power to get help. To say that ending his life was selfish is not only wrong but it's a slap in the face to his family who will eventually come to terms with the fact that he is now at peace and that's all that there is.

[Sidelle]

Thus seek help, especially from those close to you if you can. Hopefully they will see your need and pain.

Often, the people closest to the depressed person will become desensitized after dealing with it for years and years. It's sad but understandable but at that point it's not possible to get any real support from family. Most of them will eventually put their heads in the sand and pretend everything is fine because they want it to be.

That, in addition to not finding a doctor that can effectively treat an individual's brain chemistry issues, will definitely cause a deeper feeling of hopelessness. That's when they start wishing to die. A person considering suicide will often rationalize that their loved ones are better off without them.

Ultimately, they end up killing two birds with one stone. Ending their own pain and ending their family's pain too (in the long run). I believe they see that as being the lesser of two evils, since it creates an actual ending to it all. The initial pain will hurt but will be nowhere near the pain of watching a person with mental illness suffer til the day they die over years and years.

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but I can understand why people do it.

[Aviann]

Although I 90% agree with Gnashing, my only point against (and I have always felt this way), is that family and friends sometimes need to quit talking and start showing the love instead. Take it from experience. Others need to learn a bit more respect.

I'd kill myself too if I had to live in Marin County

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

They found out he was diagnosed with Parkinson's shortly before he ended his life. I'd kill myself too TBH, horrible way to go out. Anyone calling him selfish can suck me.

[myriverse]

Yup-- better to end it on his own terms. Sometimes living is the most selfish thing you can do.

[Evedas]

I look down on people ending on their own terms. That's being selfish, not the other way around. He's not the only one suffered from severe depression, alcoholism and other shitty psychological disorder.

Or maybe his goal in life is already fulfilled.

[myriverse]

As someone who has watched too many friends and family waste away from too many diseases, I'm convinced that suicide for this reason is one of the most selfless acts a person can do. The alternative only causes more agony than there need be.

[Evedas]

As someone who pulled through a tough time in the past, with severe depressions at time, and later watching my own uncle who had 2 small kids (not even in education yet), a wife and brain damage that caused him to never leave the house kill himself with alcohol, leaving much agony behind, the act of killing oneself is what I can never accept. Now his family is left for me and my family to take care of, the kids never get the teaching of their father.

I guess we have different perspective.

1. I don't want to subject myself or my loved ones to my slow deterioration and loss of who I am as a person, or the continued pain of my existence. You guys are going to have to go on without me.

2. I don't want you to leave yet so you should just put up with the physical and mental anguish that will come over the next years while you slowly whither and die before I have to deal with the same loss that will come in the end anyway.

Pick the more selfish stance.

Your anecdote only proves that you have an illogical bias.

First off, for every one of you who are mad that he's dead, there's someone with a living alcoholic parent who wishes the parent was dead. Secondly, Robin Williams' children are adults now so your whole post is irrelevant anyway.

[Evedas]

1. I don't want to subject myself or my loved ones to my slow deterioration and loss of who I am as a person, or the continued pain of my existence. You guys are going to have to go on without me.

I am weak-willed and does not have purpose in life anymore.

2. I don't want you to leave yet so you should just put up with the physical and mental anguish that will come over the next years while you slowly whither and die before I have to deal with the same loss that will come in the end anyway.

There is no hope inside me that you will recover and be who you should be.

That's being way too pessimistic for me to pick a stance.

Pick the more selfish stance.

You are focusing on the wrong subjective thought process of the individual. Of course loved ones want to be with their parent/sibling/child as long as possible.

Number one is the selfish mentality. I don't want to deal with pain, I don't want to fight for only 10% chance to live, I don't want to go through surgery, I don't want to risk the unknown, I don't want to risk my memories, I don't want to go through chemo, me me me me me, etc...

Whether loved ones feel the above decision is right or wrong by the person commiting suicide is not relevant. The decision to go through with suicide is still selfish.

[loramin]

This is a really long thread, so I didn't make it through the whole thing, but I just wanted to check: did anyone mention the fact that he played EQ back in the day?

[loramin]

Ok, I made it through the whole thread and there's no mention of it, so I guess it's not very common knowledge.

My cousin used to be a GM at SOE ... granted it was for Star Wars Galaxies, but she helped GM for EQ sometimes, and her boyfriend at the time was a senior GM for Everquest. Anyhow, people there talked about famous people who played EQ, and one of those people was Robin Williams. I don't remember much else about it, just that he played a Wood Elf Ranger.

R.I.P. Robin Williams, a fellow classic Everquest gamer and an amazing comedian and actor.

Loramin, I learned recently that he was way into Legend of Zelda (he named his daughter after the Princess) and that he also played WoW, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty, etc. So it wouldn't surprise me that he probably played EQ back in the day. Makes you wonder who you're actually guilded with huh? I wonder if he knew about P99 if he would have been interested in coming here for a somewhat classic experience.

I would like to think so. Heck, although I kind of doubt it for all we know he might have been playing here among us already.

You are focusing on the wrong subjective thought process of the individual. Of course loved ones want to be with their parent/sibling/child as long as possible.

Number one is the selfish mentality. I don't want to deal with pain, I don't want to fight for only 10% chance to live, I don't want to go through surgery, I don't want to risk the unknown, I don't want to risk my memories, I don't want to go through chemo, me me me me me, etc...

Whether loved ones feel the above decision is right or wrong by the person commiting suicide is not relevant. The decision to go through with suicide is still selfish.

So would it be a selfless act for your wife to kill you if she thought you were suffering too much?

[Gaffin 7.0]

if your that low you dont give a fuck about anyone else but trying to feel some type of happiness within yourself and will destroy anyone elses to get it. trust me

"The memorial service for Robin Williams is expected to be a small, private affair. But that hasn't stopped members of the Westboro Baptist Church from suggesting that they might picket the event."
"Westboro, a Kansas-based group known for hate-filled protests sometimes targeting gays and their supporters, has mentioned the idea of a protest on Twitter several times in recent days."

I have a question. Is it illegal to use a public forum/social media to ask for the deaths of someone/a group of people? I realize that putting a hit on someone is illegal but I wouldn't be offering any reward, just providing an address (3701 SW 12th St, Topeka, KS 66604 across the street from a cleverly painted rainbow house) and asking if anyone has the kindness in their heart to wipe out every human there.

Would there be potential legal repercussions to such an act? If so what are they? :confused:

[KagatobLuvsAnimu]

So far all of my research points to it being perfectly legal to do so as long as an actual 'hit' isn't placed. I've also found hundreds of sites from gun toting rednecks dedicated to asking any assassins available to kill Obama ASAP. If that's not gonna land people in trouble then wishing for the deaths of the WBT's a joke.

Doesn't really work that way. What makes it selfless is doing it yourself.

But a wife that euthanizes her suffering husband is a hero.

It can be hard to work up the courage to kill yourself though.
And what about suicidal teenagers? Should parents start being heroes and assisting their children to kill themselves?

Yeah, I saw the news story about this. What a bunch of inbred idiots. Robin Williams played a gay man in a movie once, The Bird Cage, so it calls for picketing and protesting and trying to upset his family, apparently. After which all of them will gather for their usual activities; sister-fucking and collecting roadkill for their church end-of-summer barbecue.

There is a complex relationship between our personal narrative and our biochemistry. It is true that you can affect your mood and biochemistry through an improvement in personal narrative and thought processes. However, there evidence to suggest that the inverse is also true; personal narrative and thought processes change almost reflexively as a response to "efficiency of neurotransmitter function," for lack of a better phrase. We see this in medications which are sometimes effective. Another thing among many to consider is that the atrophy of the hippocampus can occur during early stages of brain development (you can't fault a child for having a shitty childhood), and we are not certain that neurogenesis due to CBT and other narrative-improvement therapies can fully restore healthy brain matter in all cases. And this is only part of the issue.

If you have a healthy mind though, it is selfish of you not to do a little legwork before you piss out your stupid, shitty opinion.

I do not see the point you are attempting to make. No one is arguing mental illness is not real, or mental illness can not alter brain chemistry over time.

Sorry but i'm thinking about myself in all circumstances first. I love my kids but something was wrong with me and i was not in the right mind to be with them then why be there. Personally i have mental issues that i deal with. When my kids get older i will sit them down and tell them all about it and what i'm going through. Because there might come a day like Robin that i choose not to continue on in this world. When that day comes i wouldn't want it to be a shock or surprise to anyone. Not sure about you but the day i can't wipe my own ass is the day i dont want to be around anymore. I have too much self respect to let someone else do that for me. Hopefully though i go before that day comes.

[Lictor]

By all means you have the right to do that, as does everyone. Whether it is justified differs from person to person and how they view the world/society/life/religion etc..

The only point I attempted to make is that thought process is selfish. An individual may truly believe the pros outway the cons, and they very well may depending again on your view/belief, but it is still a selfish train of thought and decision.

[Archalen]

The entire argument of "is it selfish" just doesn't matter. On one hand, yes it is selfish. We make 100s of decisions every day and there are plenty of selfish ones in there. When discussing the utter misery somebody has to go through (usually a lifelong battle) to decide on suicide, arguing whether it is selfish or not is not only irrelevant, it's also counterproductive. If we participate in a culture that merely labels suicide as "selfish," we erode whatever last ember of self-worth somebody contemplating suicide hangs onto.

Selfishness can be a judgment of blame; in my previous post, I demonstrated that "blame" is not so black and white when you actually look at it with a discerning eye.

i understand the whole "its selfish to commit suicide because it hurts the people that love you" point of view

but if you are truly that unhappy, wouldn't it be even more selfish of the people that love you if they prevent it? realistically, they aren't thinking about you or how miserable you are. they are thinking about themselves, and how losing you will effect themselves and their own lives.

That's true to an extent, but you have to consider the responsibilities a person has when they make that choice. If I have young children, it absolutely is selfish to take my own life. I created them, and I have responsibilities to them that will go drastically unfulfilled.

It's one thing when a person kills themself due to crippling mental illness, and it's another when they do so fully informed of the consequences and they're in a reasonably cogent state of mind. Selflessness and responsibility are about performing your duties even if they make you unhappy. It's not entirely black and white, but well-informed suicide is often very selfish.

Once you turn 18 and get a job, there is no need for parent anymore.

Why 18? So basically you don't need a parent once society determines you are a legal adult? It wasn't that long ago when 14 was the age of adulthood.

For the simple act of survival you don't need a parent past a very young age. However, we are know longer cave dwelling sociopaths.

To correct this... alot of the people on p99 still might still be cave dwelling sociopaths.

Nah man. Once you turn 18 and are legally an adult, you can basically just forget your patents even existed. If you do contact them at all it should not be for any sort of emotional or financial support or advice, but simply to let them know that you are a self sufficient adult, and they can kill themselves at any time.
