that selfish bastard.

I find myself agreeing. Sad.

A Harvard Law School grad that hated law. No wonder I liked him. Too bad the relevant industries for comedy are run by shitheads who only happen upon real talent by accident.

So now that he's dead, who's gonna' mock Lisa Lampanelli for fucking black guys?

What a waste. Not selfishness...addiction is an illness.

Fuck you both. Don't act like you know this guy just because you've seen his standup. I'm sad as well about not only him but others who struggled with addiction; but calling them selfish is obtuse at best.



Would you say the same of Chris Farley who also struggled with addiction his whole life? Yeah, he's just selfish too right?

Yes.

I'd explain.. but you'd just be smarmy about that too. =]

Just yesterday, in one of my psych classes, we went into depth on the disease of addiction. I was appalled at the misconceptions held by the (perceived) majority. Most people still believe it's selfishness and lack of willpower, contrary to the AMA classifying it as a disease, and all of the scientific research backing the disease concept, most non-addicts can't wrap their head around it. They might think, 'Ive gotten high once or twice, and then I moved on with my life. If I can do it why can't they.' I liken it to telling a diabetic, 'My blood sugar is just fine. Why can't you regulate yours? You don't need insulin. You just need a positive mindset and determination, you weak-willed git!' As my professor referenced case study after case study, neurological and genetic research findings, the majority of the student's still nodded their heads in disbelief. I sat there in horrified silence, being as I am a recovering addict myself. I thought about outing myself, but the bulk of their comments reflected disgust....

Considering the amount of videos you've been sifting, I'd say you've still got a ways to go.

No wonder I've always perceived you as shellfish. It all makes sense now, the fishy smell, the slimey scales on your clothes, your love of raw vagina. As @GenjiKilpatrick or @RadHazG would say, you're a shellfish bastard!!!

Upvote... for showing me news of which I would otherwise have no interest.

wow. I wonder what this discussion would've been like had I not said anything.

@JiggaJonson

The only reason I consider it selfish is because he was a recovered alcoholic and knew the consequences of dependence on harder drugs.

Now I, more than anyone, advocate the idea that our conscious control over behavior is but a flea on the leviathan that is instinct impulse and routine.

Nonetheless, he made a decision to indulge in an impulse which he knew was difficult to control even without having prior addiction problems.

He dodged is responsibility to stay sober and obligations to his friends and family and adoring fans for one moment of personal pleasure.

That's selfish.

You might disagree. But that doesn't make the thought less valid.

This blows. I don't even want to upvote this shitty news.

(But I will)

^Very understood, xxovercastxx. I feel ya.
