Unbelievable news about Heath Ledger commiting suicide. Unbelievable he could be such a self-indulgent, self-pitying, self-centered, spineless little git. Why would he commit suicide? How hard could things be for a star. One film in the can, another to do coming up.

But all suicides are like that selfish self-obsessed little whiners. Oh isn't life so bad.

Look this counts for everybody. From the lowliest to the highest; things ain't that bad are they?

There may be times when suicide is an option but usually only to save yourself from being tortured by fascists (or any other oppressive state including the WI) when capture is imminent, see the Warsaw uprising, but not as a spy, your duty is to last as long as possible until the organization is reorganized, or maybe as some sort of tokenistic gesture such as the 47 ronin . Of course if you have a terminal disease and think this is the way to go then yes reach for the valium.

But please don't be so self indulgent as to commit suicide if you're feeling mightily pissed-off. This guy left a daughter and wife. Presumably somebody had to find his body, maybe it was one of them. That's nice Heath. Well done.

There was a guy, being laid off from a b ig insurance company, his wife was divorcing him, he was a bit pissed off, hung himself in the garage, his teenage daughter found him. Ahhhhh didums sad was he? pity his daughter had to go through that and his wife. But also completely pointless, he was being laid off with a massive pay-off, OK he'd split everything with his wifey 50/50 but still he was looking at a situation where he could virtually do anything he wanted. Get a second career, run off be a painter, shag lots of women just because he could. No he had to do the passive aggressive thing and try to hurt everybody around him. Lameass.

OK it might be bad to speak ill of the dead but not in these cases, they wanted to be dead, to be the focus. A bit like Sylvia Plath, but don't get me started.

Of course if Heath overdosed, sorry mate for all that stuff above but you're still an arse for doing the overdosing thing.
