I thought 20/20 was a bit of a let down. He did lots of interviews with ABC over the years, they could have picked the best ones and just let him talk in his own words.

I was expecting that, too, which is why I set a reminder on my cable earlier in the day to watch it. Then, I tuned-in to see an anchor I didn't know "bumping" in-&-out of the clips, & I noticed it called itself "A Special Edition" of the show... As in "Special (Fr)Ed" by Stephen Lynch... What a program around here refers to as "developmentally disabled".

On a side-note, who cares what the President said/thought?! (I voted for him both times, but...) If he wants to speak-out about killing convicts (we've had some issues with that near where I live), I'm interested. If he wants to send more Americans to die in a war that should've ended months ago, stop him. But if someone who loved & entertained the troops, convicts, & a bunch of the rest of us dies due to something else, Barack Obama's opinion is equal to that of David Manning (who probably reviewed some of Robin's movies a dozen years ago, but never really existed).

is stephen lynch related to david lynch and i think the presidential administration is more indirectly influential in our lives than, say, our neighbors and physical community.

"Hollywood actor Robin Williams, found dead this week after an apparent suicide, had not fallen back into drink or drugs but was suffering from depression and Parkinson's Disease, his wife said today."


He made so many laugh yet inside he was sad.


I laughed so hard at his antics I nearly pee'ed myself.

He was a funny man.

Reuters is pushing the "recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease" line hard this afternoon, insinuating that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I don't know about their relatives....

What I do know is that the President has very little influence on the majority of Americans' lives.

Every time the economy or something else is going wrong in this country, the vast majority of news anchors or "man on the street" people blame the President... Last I knew, there was 1 of him, & 430-some Congressmen, & a lot of times, he needs the majority of them to OK things; Even if/when that's not the case (like if they don't need or get a say), the majority of them will come put publicly (on TV, social media, or a Website), & post an opinion against what he said/did. (Never mind that nobody asked for their opinion, & they're probably lying anyway.)

or sometimes they don't do enough research and they say the wrong thing and realize that they were wrong and have to modify something which they have then said while they were accidentally wrong

they should filibuster!

 

[rippitydoo]

They do... In fact, thy overflow it, which is why I'm online so little each day (due to the great pains they cause in mine)!

No matter how much I'm on, I can't teach you that... Apart from being FAR off-topic, I don't believe it's ever happened.

This comes off as sounding suspicious. Are you?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Not really. I'm thinking everyone is looking for answers, and usually (not always) with depression there often are no easy answers. Parkinson's diagnosis might have been a trigger, I guess we'll never know. In any event, the press seems all too eager to give us theories, conjecture and "expert commentary".

Maybe I'm just jaded.

I agree that it's our nature to want to know the why, well mostly.

Knowing what I do about depression, I think it's wonderful that we had him as long as we did. He suffered long and fought hard.

 

[Mockingjay]

Such a great man.

i'm still shocked about his death.

Oh captain, my captain.

 

[rippitydoo]

I'm neither suspicious or surprised... Last I checked, Parkinson's was one of the surprisingly-large & seemingly-increasing number of diseases out there without known cures... Of course, Reuters, the government, & other large groups are going to want to push the idea that he died (directly or indirectly) due to something that had no cure, as opposed to the possibility I honestly feel is more-likely, that being it was one-or-more things that could've been cured but weren't.

Regardless for what brought him to do what he did, I believe it's already been confirmed his death was a suicide. That will be what is on the certificate as the "cause of death", as they would do on the reality-&-fictional shows that are all over the place these days (& probably still more to come).

Did he have Parkinson's? Probably. Was he depressed? I bet. Did either/both of these lead to the suicide? Almost-assuredly? Did either of these actually kill him? Guaranteed not.

Yeah, me too. It just makes no sense....

Maybe you need to take a comprehension class then.

1] Man had many bouts with depression & addictions, most/all of which he was not secretive about.

2] We now read he had what (as far as I know) is an incurable disease.

3] Reports say he wrapped a belt around his neck, which almost guarantees the end of breathing, which is known to be a requirement for the continuation of one's life.

Adds-up, & it makes sense.

i would like to know where they offer courses in this study! (as long as it's not at piedmont virginia college)
