On the IMDB there was threads asking whether god punished him for acting gay!...the twits here are only minor fools compared to the tards there

Good actor, he was excellent in most of his films including Brokeback Mountain...his turn as the Joker looks awesome

I really hope it turns out to be an accidental overdose. I always liked his work. I read somewhere he just finished his part as The Joker in the next Batman installment.

    True he rented the apt. from her

nah man, it seems like an accidental overdose on medication and other non-prescription medicinal pills. he wasn't a coke snorting wasteman like a lot of them, he was a good guy, a father, a great actor and died way too young in a tragic accident, show him some respect man...

badmouthing a dead guy is pretty low, especially if it's not deserved at all.

I asked that question of the priest at our church one time.  He replied that while suicide was indeed a sin, although it was not unforgivable.  He further explained that people who commit suicide were sick and that when the Lord said that, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."  He was not only mentioning those that are not only gentle, patient, and humble but also those that were long suffering.  That the Lord has great love for all his creations and would look after those that suffer.

He also said that the only unforgivable sin was the denial of God and of his Son's ultimate sacrifice to free all our souls of the burden of sin.


You can take it as you like, but I would rather choose the path of not judging in this case.  I also seem to remember a phrase beginning, "Judge not, ....."

sir and well said.  Most people who do commit suicide are truly very troubled and don't get the help they need.  People here almost immediately began stating how much of a "loser" or dumb person he was without knowing the facts.  Lets you see a bit into their sick worlds and lack of compassion.

[lazs2]

demonizing suicide is not entirely heartless..   it probly does save some lives.

Glamorizing it is much worse.  

compare the two.

So which is more "compassionate" ?

[bongaroo]

When did I glamorize suicide?

I'm not surprised. Check out all the twitching and scratching going on in this interview.

bong... feeling sorry for suicide and "understanding" it may make it easier for someone watching to want to be felt sorry for.

I stated that Bodhi made a very well thought out and delivered statement.  Further that many people who commit suicide are in need of help and that they don't recieve it.

Here, I'll elaborate on the last part.  When people say things like this:

What I mean to say is if he is gonna suicide. He was a little girl about it, they pop pills. At least Cobain was man enough to paint his ceiling

or

Another actor melts down on drugs. The gene pool just got a little bit cleaner.

It really makes me wonder if they would be any help to a friend of theirs in need.  These people don't need your ridicule, not in death and not when they are in need.  They need love and compassion, you know, the stuff that Jesus taught us to give selflessly?
