Don't see it. Don't agree with Fabio on a lot of things, but didn't think he said anything ridiculous.
It's not about being right. It's about being respectful.

Been a huge fan of PSH for many years. Scent of a Woman was his break-out role. He did well in Magnolia and The Talented Mr. Ripley, but where I really started taking note of his amazing depth of talent, was in Love Liza and Owning Mahowny. Those roles were huge for him and garnished critical acclaim. He was truly one of the best actors of his generation and this is a tremendous loss for his family and fans.
Hoffman's acting opposite Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks in 'Charlie Wilson's War' was excellent too.
Exactly! However you still going to look like a fool.
It's not about being right. It's about being respectful.
There is nothing respectful about a junkie taking his own life. Celebrity or not. The reason I say this is because he caused pain and heartache to the loved ones he left behind. Like his three young children. They will grow up without a father because he couldn't and wouldn't control his addiction and address it.
Teach us, please! Tell us more!
Hating on a dead addict is a cheap, pointless act that improves nothing. Why spend the effort?
Do you think hating on them is more of a warning than that he's dead? With death on the table, talk is empty words.
The focus on "drugs" is an easy way out. Seems a safe bet that he had other issues, like most addicts the drugs are rarely the real point they are just the manifestation.
The "he was selfish!" card is another empty thump for the righteous, a misdirected anger unless he was your actual dad, brother, etc then that's another matter entirely. Then its your family and we should all be quiet.
Those shouting him down are taking a sad moment and just making it ugly. The harder thing, the better thing is working to help addicts, but they are no easy solutions there. No TV soundbyte moment, just effort over time. Patience and hope.
Let's try to bring patience and optimism to those who need it, not easy condemnation that changes nothing.

The trouble I have with what you are saying is that his celebrity status is overshadowing his drug addiction. This should be an opportunity to highlight the dangers of drug addiction in every media outlet.
I grieve for his family and the heartbreak that his children will not grow up with a father. I couldn't care less about how great of an actor he was at this point. His children have been profoundly and forever affected.

Your comments beg the question, have you ever suffered from some form of addiction? I am certain that you being in the medical filed must have witnessed addiction and all its various facets. Isn't addiction an illness?
Did you read the part I posted where I was part of committee that helped medical students and doctors overcome their addictions?
I was addicted to tobacco for a long time and quit cold turkey. It was hard, but was for my best of health in the long run. I smoke the occasional cigar, but will always consider myself addicted to tobacco.
He died with a needle stuck in his arm. If that isn't the picture of a junkie, I don't know what is. A mistake?????? Seriously????
How much more time would you have people spend on "drugs are bad" every time someone dies? I'm asking sincerely.
Thanks for sharing! Lets go back and talk about music now!
