Yes, because no one here has been strongly affected by mental illness and suicide. It's all because of Robin Williams.

Great move by apologizing, Henry. It's the first step though.
My mom had a friend whose son committed suicide. The son had been struggling with severe mental illness his entire life and she was constantly worried about what would happen next. She had done everything she could for him and frequently had to talk him out of ending his life. But at the funeral she said to my mom,…
I remember years ago going up to the counter of a store to buy an MTV "Uncensored" Real World video. The employee said I might want to buy something else because it wasn't uncensored. He said they bleeped out the curse words. No problem. They edited some violent scene. No problem. The nudity was still blurred out. Ok,…
Can you ask him if he's excited about U2's new album coming out soon?
I think my biggest fear is no longer being part of Henry Rollins' analog world.
Well put. I was trying unsuccessfully to express the same thought.
Trust me, you don't have to worry about suicidal people hearing about how it will affect others. A lot. It's sometimes put in a nice way and sometimes not so much ('selfish' and 'coward' are known to come up). I just think that's a given and more awareness, openness and understanding will be much more effective than…
I'd argue that the taboo against suicide often causes people not to talk about it because of shame and leads to isolation and more serious depression. If nothing else, Williams's suicide has led to more openness and understanding of what people suffering from depression go through. And being less judgmental, Henry.…
Ok, I can understand that. We all come from different experiences and cope in whatever way we can. I just look at the topic in a completely different way than he does.
No two depressions are alike. While many people are unable to do much physically to the point of barely or not being able to get out of bed, others can be very depressed on the inside and function very well on the outside. Williams seemed to be a master of that. I remember seeing a stand-up special of his and they…
I agree that Jordan's attitude and behavior often hurt teammates far more than it helped them. But with Pippen, my theory is that having to go head-to-head with MJ in practice and deal with all the mind games he played (and having the talent to match up with him unlike his other teammates) improved his play and made…
Good, that was one of the episodes I chose to record on FXX.
Listen, if you want to think lesser of a person because they committed suicide, go for it. I don't think much of you (I'm not a big fan of Rollins anyway) but you're free to feel that way. But I'll keep this focused on Robin Williams. Despite all of his problems, he accomplished so much. And not just in his work. I…
As others have said, seeing Shawshank again opening night with the 7 other people in the theater. I've never heard 8 people applaud so loudly at the end of a film before.
I was really hoping the Chicago Bulls would win it all that year without Jordan. I know MJ helped Pippen become a great all-around player and lead that team, but I still think it would have messed with Jordan's head so much that the team could win it all without him.
I do like to promote others as well, but mainly for the 'like's.
Dammit, you were my target audience for that Stouffer's Creamed Chipped Beef.
Wow, several comments before shoplifting came up.
