    Yes....you are allowed. I guess I'm just saying I'm not surprised.

    That reminds me, did anybody protest Fred Phelps' funeral when he died?

    I hope not... I hope nobody showed up or paid any attention. Let the dude rot, completely ignored and forgotten.

    I'm not going to lie, I was more affected by the news of Robin Williams' death than I would have thought I'd be. Maybe since this week has sucked, but I was pretty upset Monday night and Tuesday. Mike actually met him when he was in Iraq and said he spent a lot time talking to soldiers one-one. He was talking to Mike when Lance Armstrong walked by and said, "One testicle and he still gets more ******* than me." Very RW thing to say. And I agree that the media's gory details could have been scaled back. That particular kind of way to go is a powerful message about just how much pain he was in, and should have been only for his family.

    I just saw that and wonder how much of a role it played in his decision, if any.

    My guess is, combined with the depression, it may well have been a factor in the deicision to take his own life, but we'll likely never know for sure.

    We probably won't. I would bet he assumed he would have to quit acting though.

    I remember the day Michael J. Fox announced that he had it and was written out of Spin City.

    His wife has said that he was sober and did not relapse into his addictions before his death, but that he was depressed after being diagnosed recently with Parkinson's disease.

    That's probably what did it. :(

    Michael J. Fox is an atypical case. He was diagnosed in his 20's or something. Most Parkinson's patients are diagnosed at about Williams' age or older.

    And I wouldn't proclaim that the diagnosis "did it." That's silly. I'm sure it was a factor for him, but it's not as though he had been happily skipping through the meadow with his butterfly friends his whole life before the diagnosis.

    It's already been 100% established, beyond a shadow of a doubt, and no human being with senses can reasonably deny, that he felt forced to make Mrs. Doubtfire 2, and he was so incredibly heartbroken and upset at Hollywood's abuse of sequels and their attempt to ruin a great movie with money-grubbing, that he felt no other option but to end his life.

    This is obviously the ENTIRE story and nothing else matters.

    You America, you and your idiotic continued purchase of movie tickets for terrible sequels are entirely responsible for this tragedy.

    I don't even want to talk about the details of how he died, it horrifies me enough as it is. Let's talk about how wonderful he was in life! The funniest man in the world!

    Yeah.... let's not try to pinpoint what "did it." Depression and suicide are complex matters, and trying to presume you know what was going through his mind, based on something from a stupid yahoo article, is pretty disrespectful.

    Pretty sure he was making fun of the idea that Williams being diagnosed with Parkinson's "did it."

    I wondered if that was the case, but . . . it's hard to know with him.
