Thread Name: Obit: Actor Heath Ledger (January 2008)
Subject: RE: Obit: Actor Heath Ledger (January 2008)
I have sympathy for those who have yet to commit suicide. They can be helped. I don't have anything against Mr. Ledger I only feel that this tragedy might help other people.

Why is that so wrong?

Suicide is preventable but we have to fight the stigma that mental illness is something that has to be swept under the rug. We can learn from that.

If you think that is a rant than so be it but make no mistake I'm not intrested in slamming the poor kid I'm just saying that ignorance is bad for helping the mentaly ill.
