We must all endure in Faith, and Obedience to his commandments. That is what the subject was when he made that statement.

That just makes me want to start looking for gun racks in Volvos. Bet I can find one around here! He was a typical liberal, but a talented one.

“Anti-depressants usually cause one to do harm to others, not one’s self. (every mass shooter has been on them)”

usually? No. Sometimes? yes. Lots of people take anti-depressants and don’t hurt anyone or themselves. But people react differently to medications.

While I don’t know any at near his level, many I have met developed their talent because of some sort of pain. Sad

Then you need more time reading. He specifically told us not to be a part of this world. He condemned healers for taking people’s money and offering them nothing.

I do not know about him but I have and he is right. Drugs affect people differently.

I am neither shocked, nor surprised.

Looks like I’ll have to avoid FR and other social media for the next few days.

This news should be a 3-5 minutes story; and that’s it.

Heavy drug use, bankruptcy, failed marriages and a failing career

Yep, I read and heard the same. Still, he was great man in spite of his faults (we all have them) and he will be greatly missed.

He'll always be "The Genie" to me.

I hope he found the peace he was seeking.

I enjoyed his comedy. Hated his support for drug use and gays.

Suicide due to asphyxia? Not to be morbid but are they hinting at "auto-erotica asphyxiation"?

I've read elsewhere that he probably put a plastic bag over his head and sealed it. That's more than likely how he died.

Ever had your teeth cleaned? Taken an aspirin? Used a band-aid? WASHED YOUR HANDS?

You blind, arrogant idiot. I will pray for you.

Even if you are right, you are acting like a boor. Everyone who has read this thread already know exactly what you have to say, and now you are just repeating it over and over. I don’t know if you noticed in the midst of your zealotry, but an administrator already instructed you to get off this thread and you had probably better heed him.

The Kadaffy one I remember.

“This is a “Line of Death”, you cross it, you die.
Ok....you cross this Line, you die.....
Ok. you cross this Line, you die....
You cross this Line, you die....
Ok, that’s it, you come-a knocking on my door, I’m not-a coming out....Nyaaah.”

Was that routine made before or after Obama came on the scene?
