Bill Murray is a good actor, just not quite as suited to the role as Johnny Depp was...(I understand why he would want to play that role though, the reason Bill Murray became an actor was because he was barred from attending med school for smuggling marijuana in from mexico) |

As said earlier, show some respect.
And as your mother should have told you, if you can't say anything nice dont say anything at all.
Hunter S. Thompson was a genius, his writings were ahead of their time and ushered in a new era of journalism, and style of writing.
Rest in Peace. |

It's probably because they have emotions, just like the rest of us. |

Should you have respect for someone who took the easy way out? Like this guy had it ing bad anyway.
If you want to respect someone, respect Captain Charles Butler McVay III. He commanded 1,196 men on the USS Indianapolis in WWII. The ship was sunk, the crew had to wait five days for rescue while sharks, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and nature ate at them. Only 316 men survived, including Captain McVay. The Navy needed a scapegoat to cover the incompetence shown by how long it took to rescue the Indy's survivirs, so they court-martialed McVay for frivilous charges. The only captain out of 700 destroyed vessels in WWII to recieve a court-martial. He was convicted of not "Zig Zagging", ergo placing his ship in danger. The commander of the Japanese sub who sank the Indianapolis testified that it would have made no difference as to whether they did the Zig Zag maneuver or not. Still, McVay retired four years after the conviction and was hounded and blamed by the family members of the dead sailors until he could take no more and committed suicide. Yeah, feel sorry for him if you want to waste time feeling sorry for someone you don't know. |
now thats someone i respect:eyes: tragic lives indeed:confused: |

He was one cool motha focka and this is a sad end to one of the coolest people, I never got to meet....
"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."
--- Hunter S. Thompson, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". |
