He realized that after just being himself in movies and not actually playing roles wasn't going to pan out for much longer, why wait to become carrot top.

Negrodamus predicted this whole thing.

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

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..

My sister likes to celebrity hunt when she is in LA. She goes to a restaurant called 'Il Sole' where a bunch of celebrities normally go for dinner. She saw Owen Wilson there once and she asked one of the waiters if he is nice. He told her that he is somewhat paranoid and he hates being asked for autographs. My sister wanted to ask him for one, but he seemed too interested in trying to impress a girl. Although I never would have thought that he would attempt suicide, he seems like the most likely to out of his group (Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell...)

LOL at all the heartfelt replies. If he had been stabbed or died there would be an outpouring of support, but he's sick in the head and attempts suicide so he's "selfish?"

Remember the scene in Royal Tennenbaums where Luke Wilson slits his wrists? Slightly eerie.

[Kuge]

I always thought Luke Wilson would've been the one to attempt suicide first.

*Can't stand Luke Wilson, he isn't even a good actor IMO*

Because we have a lot more contact with Owen Wilson than most of those people, even if it's only through television and film. Boy, that one was obvious.

If someone's friend died and they were upset, would you ask them why they were making such a huge deal about it and that so many other people died on the same day? It's the same thing, just to a much smaller extent.

Best Friend > (more imporant to the general public than ) Owen Wilson > (more important than) random person we've never heard of

I'm not saying that one shouldn't feel equally sad for the death of all people, but clearly that's not how we as a species work.

What a weird reply, who was making a big deal?

I think Erik was being facetious as that comment seems to come up in a lot of these types of threads.

Suicide is a horrible thing, but from what is usually taught about suicide, the way in which he attempted it can just be looked as desperate desires for attention. I look at him as a weak person, for 2 things those being attempting suicide and failing at it. Most people who’ve ever sat through a basic college level psych course know, anyone who really wants to kill themselves go for the most efficient ways, i.e.: poisoning, explosion, electrocution, hanging, shooting, jumping, or the ever so popular suicide by cop. If you’re attempting suicide as a way to gain attention, then you usually go for the prescription pill overdose (which is usually a slower acting poisoning compared to true chemical poisonings) and/or cutting of the wrists.

But anyways, why should we as a society allow him the attention he wants, we should have let him pass on, and followed the old tradition of burying him at a crossroads, and explain how he had no self-respect for himself so he took the easy way out, and thus the living should be allowed to walk over him to show to him (if there is an immortal soul) the pain he must endure for an eternity. What about the fact that suffering is what defines us and how we react to it, why should we as a society burden ourselves with a potential time bomb that could produce more death than just a single death?


Also with him surviving, how can you ever trust him again with anything important, if you were a close friend or family? He's broke the ultimate trust, that someone will be there no matter what, baring outside uncontrollable influences. I may sound a little heartless, but in the last two weeks I’ve attended a few funerals for suicides, had a grandfather who killed himself (before I was born), and a brother who attempted to, whom I’ve never spoke to again since. I don’t believe in surrounding yourself with weak people, and I believe those who attempt suicide as some of the weakest people in the world, and why not allow evolutionists to be right and let the strong survive? I just don’t believe they deserve to live if they are weak enough to hurt all who truly love them. It all comes down to the classic evil of vanity/pride.

And remember those of us who live in Vegas are living in the Suicide Capital of America, and because of that, they’ve welded most hotel windows closed (3-25 jumpers a years, no hard evidence on it though, casinos thinks its bad PR). Or if you want to have real fun as a jumper go to San Fran, you got the Golden Gate Bridge, 1000+ have taken the plunge.


And if you need help in deciding the way to do it, remember the classic Maddox “How to kill yourself like a man” post @ http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c....u=manly_suicide
