Robin Williams commits Suicide

[Angel]

Treatment anywhere. At least in the US you have a better chance of the state putting you in an institution. In the third world the crazies just roam the streets. Think the US is bad travel to a few third world countries. No help whatsoever.

And that right there is part of the problem. "The crazies" why admit to suffering when you're going to get this label..

Actually, the majority of homeless people in this country ARE mentally ill, and were that way before they started drinking MadDog 20/20 or some other godawful shit like that.

And you can thank the First Beast Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan (6) for that.......

1980
President Jimmy Carter signs the Mental Health Systems Act, which aims to restructure the community mental-health-center program and improve services for people with chronic mental illness.


1981
Under President Ronald Reagan, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act repeals Carter's community health legislation and establishes block grants for the states, ending the federal government's role in providing services to the mentally ill. Federal mental-health spending decreases by 30 percent.

So just like with clean energy, President Carter put us on the proper path, and the BCE fucked it all up.

This, from a future "Sociologist"...yeah, you'll do well in the field...

Well one thing is for certain. At least I'll have a degree in three years. And yours is in what again?

Ok. Let's be politically correct. How does "Sanity Challenged" sound?

I'm waiting to see how you put the blame on the BCE for Tony Stewart running that guy over. Is there anything the BCE isn't responsible for?

Cocaine abuse can lead to severe depression and paranoia especially years after the user stops um, using it. Cocaine apes so much of the brain's natural chemistry that it can cause erratic and bizarre behavior - something Williams was known for. Remember when Elton John was spending over $40,000 a week on flowers? Well, there you go. And unlike Elton, Williams probably shrugged off his behavior as many cocaine addict fuckwits do. Williams put himself on the revolving door of rehab simply because he loved the drug more than life itself and I'm sure it cost him.



Brad Garret. Any show with Brad Garret - especially Brad Garret attempting to play a gay man - will eventually be cancelled. That is a given.



I'm not buying that. Williams had he resources to get proper help. Also seems to me he had support of his family. He may not rid himself of the depression completely but he had the wherewithal to where he could manage it if he so chose to do so. Take a look at the many of the homeless population in your city alone and wonder why they are that way. Say, unlike Trollvis, who flat out refuses to work, many of those with severe mental illness live in a daily hell that other will never understand. And many of them never receive a shred of help. Difference being they still choose to live so fuck Williams and his selfishness.


Oh, and don't shit yourself for a seccy that William's death will bring about some sort of change in mental health awareness. Remember Kurt Cobain? What did his suicide bring about? Oh, that's right, exploitation from books to t-shirts to the release of shitty unreleased "demos." You can bet the only resolve with Williams is all the vultures and mavens will soon be flocking around finding easy to make easy money off of his death. Sick, really fucking sick.

I must say Kristy. This is a brilliant post! The truth is people can't handle the truth. Also, people enjoy the drama of a train wreck. The vultures will make their money while the public pretends they aren't enabling the vultures when their morbid fascination really is.

Social Work. At least I'll have a job in 8 months...

How about mental illness? Just because someone is suffering does not mean they are insane. Again, this is a MAJOR part of the problem...

Oh yeah. Telling someone they are mentally ill will make them feel better than saying they are insane.

[FORD]

Mental illness is a bit of a misnomer anyway..... the brain is an organ just like the heart, the liver, the lungs, your eyeballs, whatever. And in many cases, as with depression, it's a matter of brain chemistry. So "mental" illness is a physical illness just like asthma or diabetes or whatever.

[vandeleur]

There is a pic flying around twitter that has someone with a chest wound and their friend telling them to pull themselves together and get a grip .
Thought it made the point well.

[Nitro Express]

Oh yeah. Political correctness and blaming the opposing political party will solve the problem. Sorry. It won't. Kristy is right. The individual has to want to be helped. You can come up with all the excuses you want but excuses are just that and blaming the mean cold world does no good. The world is what it is and denying it's not perfect and dreaming of some soft fluffy utopia will show no results at all. Everyone is blamed but the individual anymore. All I can say is grow up.

Ok, so I'm gonna put you on the No Trucker Hat List just for that comment right there. Blasphemer...

[ELVIS]

Fuck off, you trolling asshole.

You're a riot...

It's not 6 6 6...

It's 600 60 6...
