genuinely mourning a person you never met..... lol people "genuinely mourn" their parents, a child, a grandparent, a best friend, a spouse or someone that would "genuinely mourn" them if they passed away first. Genuinely mourn implies reciprocation. Robin Williams would not have mourned your death.... FACT people e-mourn celebrities because they want others to think of them as caring individuals. It's about appearances. It's about being pious. Mourning is done privately, not on a political board where you can get faux-outraged when others think Williams was a coward.
Horsecrap. I know he never met me, but why is that so important? He was a guy I had a lot of admiration and respect for, and was a personal hero and somebody I looked up to. Just because we never met does not give you the right or the justification to go out hurting people. You just want to hurt people so you can feel important and better than everybody else. And that's the thing, I don't belittle people who are mourning for someone they cared for. You know what, I see no difference between you guys and the asshats of the Westboro Baptists church who harass people at funerals over homosexuals.
I'm not belittling people who are mourning him.... I feel his wife, and kids, had a husband and father stolen from them, by Robin Williams himself. So I blame Robin Williams for their hurt, and sorrow. you don't mourn him.... your day to day life has not changed one bit. YOu have not donated a dime to a cause he's supported because of it.... you will continue living your life. If he's your family member or friend, it really affects you. I didn't like it when Guns and Roses broke up because I couldn't ever get a new song from them ever again...... that's not mourning. You "mourn" robin williams like you "mourn" a band breaking up.
Thread Warning. Have respect for each other, whether you agree with their positions or not. Stay on topic and post about the POST not the POSTERS.
Yeth thir. Im just annoyed and hurt that people are actually making fun of and belittling us for the way we feel. Thats just messed up.
Oh, there's a world of difference b/t the WBC being televised for the whole country to see them shove their vile signs in the faces of the deceased soldiers families and the anonymous posters on PF voicing their opinions about clinical depression and a celebrity's suicide... there's no comparison b/t the 2........ What I'd like to know is why is it ok to belittle and ridicule a woman, who's a well-known figure AND her children, whom all are very much alive..... and not care that her children would hear/read the ugly, mean trash said about their mother? And that crap wasn't happening just here on PF, but all over the media. Gee, I wonder who that woman could be? Who do you think it is?
How can i not? You didnt see the deleted stuff. Its upsetting to be called stupid....all because i cried.
No worries, dear. The world is full of loving people, but it has its share of sociopaths and dumb assess too. The good news is that sociopaths only make up about 4% of the population. The bad news is that many of them use the mask of anonymity to inflict themselves upon others on Internet forums. Other good news is that people like Robin Williams had so much compassion that it balances out the lousy 4% of the population. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/25/how-to-spot-a-sociopath-hint-it-could-be-you.html - - - Updated - - - Forget the jerks.

I can think of several, including Sarah palin and Condoleeza Rice. And i don't like them either, but I don't trash and bash them like hypocritical liberals do.
Just in case anyone didn't see this, apparently Williams was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease but had not publicly announced it: http://variety.com/2014/film/news/ro...fe-1201283014/ This ads a lot more sense to the situation. Not only was he depressed, he knew he was facing a horrible future full of terrifying hallucinations, insomnia and vivid nightmares. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
This is juvenile reasoning. No two people are alike mentally or physically nor are their personal situations and any adult-minded person realizes the complexities and differences between individuals.
People are not as anonymous on the internet as they think they are. The internet is being monitored by the NSA amid other ways. And that's one of the problems of goading people. You never iknow who you are insulting and belittling and how they'll react. Here's but one example: http://lifehacker.com/329033/how-to-track-down-anyone-online
From what I've been reading, a possible consequence of Parkinson's is depression since it destroys parts of the brain. Others may not be similarly afflicted because the disease damages other parts of the brain.
While there are certainly ways to look people up, especially those with mod or admin options, it's still anonymous to be an ass to others or a troll. Troll is often an over used accusation and, if done too overtly, disciplined by forum moderators, but some people do continue to post "opinions" simply to generate emotional reactions from others.
Are you really serious? You actually cry b/c people on the net call you stupid for crying? Why?! Why take it so personally? We're a bunch of strangers to you and you let strangers control your emotions to the point of crying? Toughen up, toots.......
Has nothing to do with the thread, but I don't trash and bash families of politicians like hypocritical conservatives do either.
Turnabout doesn't work with me I believe it to be a dishonest tactic that has no substance or credibility. And secondly, I was referring to another post.
IIRC, Condi Rice doesn't have children. Good for you for not attacking a woman who doesn't even hold public office and/or her children....... I noticed the libs made themselves scarce when I asked that question. Well, as you said - hypocritical liberals.......
What has that got to do with my post? I don't trash and bash families of politicians like hypocritical conservatives do either.
You're saying hypocritical conservatives ONLY because you think I am wrong in saying hypocritical liberals. I am not, and you think you'll correct me. You are wrong. This is an attack against me. A Mature person would not have used dishonest tactics like that. A mature person would either try to resolve things and discuss rather than insult and berate or just leave them alone instead of attacking them. And that statement itself is hypocritical, because if you were truly against generalizations like you liberals claim, then you wouldn't even say a phrase like that and you would ALSO be getting on to your fellow liberals who make the same or similar statements that permeate this forum and other forums.
You mean this vague set up question? What I'd like to know is why is it ok to belittle and ridicule a woman, who's a well-known figure AND her children, whom all are very much alive..... and not care that her children would hear/read the ugly, mean trash said about their mother? Who were you speaking of? Could be any number of celebrities, unfortunately. IF a person(I don't think the person's gender is relevant) promotes him or herself as a celebrity or politician, then they need to be ready to suffer the slings and arrows of critics. But I never think it is appropriate to attack the family members of celebrities and politicians- living or dead- just because their father, mother, child, etc happens to run for office or be in a movie. That goes for Chelsea Clinton, Sarah Palin's kids, Obama's mother, Obama's wife- and anyone else. I think the real hypocrites are those who pretend that this is something that the Left is responsible for, or the Right is responsible for- and ignore when it is done by the side that they agree with.
