RIP - a great talent.

Sad he couldn't overcome his demons.

Yes idiocy is hard to overcome....

 

[boedicca]

Sad...but I feel far more sorry for his three kids than I do for him.

That true.... To bad it is all over the news that their dad was a pathetic junkie loser who killed himself to get high.

So, you agree Dave Ellefson is an idiot?


Dave Mustaine was such an idiot (your words) the court had to order him into rehab.


Jeff Young's stupidity lead to tours being cancelled.

I am sorry did they die from drugs? They overcame their idiocy.

Be patient.

And Mustaine's latest brain farts indicate a mind ruined by drugs.

Where did the notion that genius is a characteristic that would exclude addiction? How did intellectual capacity and addiction become linked? Are the idiots claiming that those afflicted with addictions are idiots knowledgeable about addiction? It seems they lack some facts about addiction when they make such claims.

While I;m unsure of what you're trying to say, you make one point - genius tends to lead the possessors to seek a crutch of one kind or another.

How many great artists and authors were hooked on drugs?

Van Gogh. Arthur Conan Doyle. And too many others to name.

great talent or even great intelligence do not mean the person has a strong personality to withstand the peer pressure - and they usually become addicted at a young age and even if stay clean for many, many years ( as Hofman did) - it is not a guarantee against relapse, unless a person develops a very strong charachter and will in order to master his/her own addiction drive.

I would not label it as idiocy as well, rather inability to distinguish the information - and the information out there ( and even HERE, on this thread) is spread in a notion - oh, drugs are not that bad, let's legalize them - and everything will become nice and peachy.

Metabolism of every particular drug depends on the enzymes of every particular person and nobody does the evaluation of their metabolism before reaching for that joint, or that snort or that syringe.
And for some it might take only that ONE joint, snort or syringe to get hooked for life.

This is the main difference with alcohol, BTW - you NEVER get and addiction disease to alcohol from one drink. and even from 10.

So, four arrests were made. Funny how law enforcement don't act as quick if your average person or kid ODs on drugs.

He wasn't a 'genius' anyway, just an fairly average man with some talent for movie acting. People need to put things in perspective.

I think it is a tragedy that drugs claim another life, this idolizing of actors is very strange to me. If children under 10 can win Oscars or be nominated for best actress, then how hard is it? That's not even old enough to be a waitress or a plumber. And being a plumber is hard work.

And one who happened to pick the right parts. Well most of the time. He was in quite a few bombs.

Funny how people don't get worked up over it unless it's a celebrity. Do you think it might have something to do with a politically appointed chief of police acting under direction of the mayor's office?

Funny how each and every drug bust does not make national news. Do you imagine that the police are less diligent in other cases, or does this case have news value and a certain notoriety about it?

 

[Politico]

Imagine? No they are less diligent if you aren't famous.

 

[hangover]

Can you imagine Hoffman instantly standing in front of God, and God says, "What are you doing here?"

Sad but true; there's probably a certain segment of law enforcement that are glad he died, so they can get some momentum on the dealers.
