South Korea has the third highest suicide rate in the world. I can't help but think this sort of attitude has an affect on that.

I grew up watching Mork and Mindy and have been a fan ever since. It really almost feels like a death in the family(distant relative?). He has made me smile and laugh for over 35 years.

Its sad to think someone who has brought laughter to so many people was miserable enough on the inside to do this.

Tears of a clown :(

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.©

Is that concept so hard to understand? I understand that some people want to throw in their opinion and all, but if it's just going to bring negativity and pessimism to an already sensitive topic, how about you do us all a favor and don't say a damn thing.

I'll be one of the first to agree with the concept that suicide is the weak thing to do, and it is a choice. But this isn't the place for it now dude, the guy touched countless people, across generations and national boundaries, and his family and his fans, not to mention humanity as a whole has lost something great, regardless of the methods of his demise.

While it is a choice, it doesn't always mean your mind is in the right state to make proper choices. He wasn't suffering from a depressed mood due to somethings in his life, there are many disorders that affect the brain that cannot be helped much. He suffered from it for over 20 years.

May he rest in peace. Brought joy to millions of people and was a huge part of my life growing up. It feels like a part of my childhood died today.

And to Jetackuu below: I'm not arguing. I'm stating facts. If anyone tries to smear someone by calling them weak, etc. then they need to be educated instead of remaining ignorant.

I'm not here to argue about it, if you want to argue with somebody, argue with the attention *** over there.

Perhaps with his death some awareness revolving mental health, depression, etc, will be raised.

Certainly sounds like there is an awful lot of ignorance around revolving depression.

I think (other than the fact that he was an amazing person) a lot of what makes this hit home so hard with so many people, is because most people have either struggled with depression themselves or have had someone close that has. For someone so kind-hearted and funny to lose that battle is so utterly heartbreaking that it can barely be put into words.

Depression isn't like the flu. You can't take a pill and it will magically disappear. All the pills and therapy may not do a lick of good, and oftentimes it's a different case from person to person. It's beyond sad that he succumbed to his ailment and he will be sorely missed, but don't sully his memory with your ignorance.

I think the general public as a whole needs to become more aware of the fact that the majority of comedians tend to be dark and depressed people.

A lot of comedians really are struggling with depression (jim carrey is another big one).. but just people in general.. illness/mental illness can hit anyone, regardless of how much money you have, how nice your things are, how many fans you have, how lovely your family is..

Vipan is the king of trash. He went off on my linkshell members last night because Kuzy denied his raise in port jeuno (which he didn't ask for... he was dead on purpose). Called us all a bunch of Fing idiots, childish, etc... all over a denied raise.

Don't listen to what he has to say, at all. This thread is to remember how great RW is and to not pay attention to lowlifes that try and bring others down. Ignore the trolls and continue to post fond memories of an amazing man.

I just finished Jumanji and will continue to marathon :)

Happy wishes.

RIP Robbin Williams. You will be missed <3
