Owen Wilson In Hospital

[BigDMcGee 3,352]

Those are all Doug Stanhope. Are you familiar with DS's wonder, D? Because I think he's up your alley, moreso than he is mine. And I can't really listen to other comedians, anymore.

wasn't he that guy who went on the manshow after kimmel left? If so, then I'm just barely aware of who he is, if not, then.. I have no idea who he is.. but I like his views on suicide.

Yeah, that was him. He did mostly the sickest, best gross-out jokes I've ever heard, about ****ing tranny hookers and whatnot, and then did the Manshow for two years. That whole experience embittered him ("some religious fanatics and tribal people believe that a camera can steal year soul. I thought it was crazy until I did the Man Show") and turned him into (not to sound like a cliche) the next logical evolutionary step from Bill Hicks. He's crude, vicious, spiteful, nihilistic, and brilliant. Here are some links. There not the greatest, but you should get a feel for his general tone, anyway.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t2mMMp7bjU

It takes a little while to get into him, so if you don't hate him, surf around a bit and watch as many as you can.

what a doushe (is it politically correct to bash on suicidal people, i guess if they are celebrities they don't really count as people, they owe it to us to stay alive)selfish jerk

um, you're the douche.. who are you to say how much pain someone is suicidal should have to live with, particularly someone you don't even know?unless you were just joking, then I'm the douche.I think calling a suicide selfish is redundant, of course it's selfish ( unless it's like a suicide bomber, or something), so what?

ya i don't use the sw nearly enough, but I thought "if they are celebrities they don't really count as people" made it obvious that I was kidding.now go take a shower

So what the hell? Now it's coming out that he's been a well known coke and heroin abuser for a long time now?Wilson visited a St. Monica church in his neighborhood on August 23, out of either devotion or desperation. Three days later, actor Luke Wilson, 35, found his brother in his Santa Monica, California, home with his left wrist slashed, having ingested a quantity of pills.While the news stunned Owen's fans, members of his and Hudson's inner circles were reportedly all too aware of his private struggles with depression and addiction to cocaine and heroin. According to sources close to the actor, his downward spiral only worsened after his June split from Hudson, 28."We always thought he was just too fun-loving, but now it's obvious he was just dealing with way too much to handle," says a family friend.Hopefully he'll get some help or something, guy's starting to sound like a sad John Belushi.

Depression is an awful, serious disease.I <3 Owen Wilson, so I wish him all the best.

I don't know why people are making such a big deal of this..people get killed and raped everyday, not to mention we're in a war..

He was probably involved in illegal gambling.

[SBriand 4]

He was probably involved in illegal gambling dog fighting.

FYP

As Per The Vick Threads: Any time a celebrity acts out, we're not allowed to discuss it because, well, obv much more serious things are happening minute by minute in this world of ours.

Damn. I'm usually good at understanding irony. Sorry, DDIDM.

It is widely known that almost everyone in the world has at one point thought about suicide. There is no black and white when it comes to this subject. Just give the man his privacy and let him try to get his life right in private. Isn't that what you would want if you were him?

You're right. How dare people talk about someone who has willingly put them selves in the public eye for many years. And Owen Wilson's probably been lurking this forum for a while now, so it'll suck when he reads this.

Looks like i'm the douche, then. In my defense, I was pretty delirious with needing to go to sleep, and I did hedge my bet by leaving the " i'm a douche" part in there.. It's just that the right to people to commit suicide is something I feel passionately about. Unless I'm lucky enough to die instantly, in like a car crash or a heart attack or in my sleep, I'm sure I'm going to commit suicide some day. I'm not going to bravely fight a losing battle with cancer for a year, watching my body slowly fade away and living in constant pain. I'm not going to get a false hip and a false knee and piss out of a bag, and wear a diper and live in a nursing home waiting to die. I'm just not. I hope my friends and family understand that I don't wish to live in pain and misery, and that being able to choose how I go out is a beatuiful thing, but if now * shrugs* It's my life, not there's, they don't get to decide for me.

There's a huge difference between thinking and doing, doing shows the inability to deal with pain. I honestly wished he succeed because the burden he's now putting on his family is a lot harder to deal with than putting him in the ground. Just my take, I've seen what it has done to my folks when one of their children attempted to end his life, its ruin their marriage, and ruined the family, and I stop talking to him, I really feel his death would have solidified the family in an opposite direction than what his attempts did. Life is a gift it should be treated as one, and if you want to destroy it, then Man up and do it, but if you survive, all I'll do all I can into supporting you to do it again by forgetting who you are. Another range of thoughts here

I think your way of thinking is the easy way out... I think what best defines us as a person is how we handle our pain. I would rather be known as someone who took the long hard fight to death and died with dignity and respect for my creator. Yes I'm getting into religion on that one, but I believe the good and the bad we deal with in life are equal gifts that we as humans must endure to really understand why we're here, why be selfish and end it without a fight? For those who don't believe in some final destination after death, why not be remembered for your personal courage to stand up and fight, instead of being remembered as the guy who gave up?

Try getting a fast food nation to get that one, although I see where Big D is coming from. Guarantee the people that loved someone who commited suicide generally don't go,"****, yeah, good choice. Long time coming. Now we can go about our business."

What I'm trying to say is now the family has more pressures of having to help the "victim" go on about his life, and that will ruin, destroy families, unlike in death the family will have a grieving process and that is less time consuming than trying to fix someone. Yes its a hard thing to say, but sometimes its better to sacrifice 1 for the good of the many. That person death will force everyone to pay a heavy price, but that price allows us to celebrate what life is, and how we should treasure the gift that was given to us. Also I believe the person whose attempted suicide is a rotten piece of bread, which has already spread some mold to the other breads, but not enough to destroy the loaf before complete consumption, but allowed to stay around the remaining loaf it'll infect and destroy it quickly.

Why the **** would i care how I'm remembered at all if I'm dead and there's no final destination? I'm sorry, once I'm dead, how I'm remembered means fck all to me. Putting up a "brave and honorable" fight is a bunch of garbage.. It's only benefit is for the inspiration of others, it's of no comfort to me as my intestines rot a foot at a time. Fck that, find some other hero/sucker willing to live his last days/months/years in excruciating pain. Easy way out ftw.

[timwakefield 68]

Some great quotes on suicide:"Life's like a movie: it's you're half way through, and you hate every second of it, it's probably not going to get a whole lot better.""Life's like animal porn: it's not for everybody.""If suicide were really the 'coward's way out,' we wouldn't have to worry about overpopulation, because there aren't a lot of 'brave' people around."

Woody Allen: "I don't know from suicide, y'know. Where I grew up in Brooklyn we were too unhappy to commit suicide."

I understand all what you are saying but to give up on the only thing you have.I believe in euthanasia but your giving up when times get tough is sad.

I don't think it's sad at all. I think there's something really empowering about it, actually.

I agree with what you're saying, but if you don't believe in an afterlife, wouldn't any sort of life be better than an eternity of nothingness? I mean, there's going to be plenty of time for nothingness. I figure as long as I'm not in constant unbearable pain (ie throwing up all day long because there's so much pain) and as long as I can lie in bed, even hooked up to a hundred machines, and watch Seinfeld reruns, then life's worth living. Obviously it's a personal choice, and one that I believe people should be able to make. I was just curious as to your philosophy on the subject.

I can see how some people are so miserable that no life is better than their life.
