With all due respect to one of my dearest friends, Rusty Crewse, who is in a Kiss tribute band, Gene Simmons is a mouthy ignorant asshole. He is Rush Limbaugh Junior. And anyone who agrees with these ignorant fools is sick and needs help.
Robin Williams' death is only more important than any of the other tens of thousands of suicides from depression because he was a celebrity, but it does appropriately focus much needed attention on the issue. I've had many friends who have sadly met similar fates. Far too many.
Depression is every bit as real a disease as diabetes or hypertension or cancer. People have fundraisers for illnesses that impact organs other than the brain, but blame the afflicted for their disease when the brain is the organ impacted. If you aren't smart enough to get that - like, apparently Rush and Gene - you need help, too. As the son of someone who has suffered for more than 45 years with this nasty illness, learn the facts before you get diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.
If you agree with Gene Simmons and Rush Limbaugh, please stop being my friend, but I will pray for your recovery from your diseased mind.

Amen, sir.
