Fox News is calling Robin Williams a coward. Well then, they're more divorced from reality than I previously thought.
-
@mrmattimation REALLY
-
@mrmattimation welcome to Fox's ignorance on topics they have no experience in
-
@mrmattimation Why would they say that?
-
@mrmattimation I think Fox are the cowards for having the audacity to attack him like that after he died. In times like these I refer to the Latin phrase "De mortuis nihil nisi bonum" which means "of the dead, nothing unless good". Basically means avoid ill will and ill speech of the dead, because they're, well, dead. Then again, it's Fox News, I don't think I should I should expect anything less than insolence and disrespect.

@pony They're saying that, because he killed himself, that makes him a coward. Why is it that if somebody is killed by AIDS and we blame the disease, but if somebody has severe depression to the point that they end up claiming their own life, we blame the person? Depression is a disease too.
-
@mrmattimation Depression is a disease, but they still have a choice, unlike with AIDS.

@pony I really don't think suicide is a measure of cowardice or selfishness. It's a measure of how much pain you're in.
-
@pony You don't know what he was going through though, I mean for some people there really is a point where they just take it anymore. If anything, this is a testament to how all the money and fame in the world can't make you happy.
-
@pony I said "enough".
