Rest well, Grasshopper.
R.I.P.
Sad, I recently bought the first seasons of Kung fu.
so sad. he must have been in some pain.
The Larson and Perdew boys were huge fans of Kung Fu. We watched it fervently and I have good memories...
A few years ago, my opinion dropped a bit. Not because of David Carradine, but rather when I learned the show was originally developed by Bruce Lee for him to star in. I can't help but wonder what such a series would have been like. Oh, year, it would have been AWESOME!
There were few shows that I considered must see tv back in the day. Kung Fu was one of them. It was like we all took a break from our deviant adventures to watch that show. From the slow-mo flashbacks to his shaolin wisdom to the bad guys inevitably suffering a compound fracture to a vital appendage at his hand. The dude rocked.
Fastest hour on tv.
I may have been one of the few cheering for him in the movie Lone Wolf McQuade.
You are so right Sean! The show came out about the time Dad was our Judo instructor. Remember the double ‘O-go-shi’ you did on me? In my mind, I am still trying to reconstruct how the heck you did that move on me? But it was a classic move to say, and probably has not been done since. But you did it! Then we went home to what the show Kung fu.
NNNOOOOOO!
David Carridine was my hero too
in the 70's there @ DC!
I will be listening to my
KUNG FU *Soundtrack for the
next couple of days.
R.I.P. DC (especially if
it's suicide...then it would be
Lord Have Mercy on the Soul of DC!)
CLICK HERE FOR THE Kung-Fu *SOUND TRACK!
As much as I liked Kung Fu and David Caradine,Suicide is a pussy way out.It's too eazy for the one doing it but destroys the family.RIP David but shame on you.
Apparently he was found naked and also had a rope tied around his penis so there is speculation that it was not a suicide but rather a sex-game gone wrong. And Mat, shame on you for being so judgmental...I hope that you never have to experience the kind of pain that drives someone to suicide.
There are all types of suicide and ways to inflict pain on your family. Like obesity, drinking too much, road rage, drug abuse. Takes longer but still suicide in the long run.
Sometimes people are naked when they commit suicide as a symbolic jesture. Most people I would think struggle for a while or years before they kill themselves, unless they have some sort of impulse disorder and walk to the edge and just jump.
Some places it is legal.

I was told the truth as far as Cindy stated. I loved that actor and his movies to follow.mat,I won't even go there. Don't judge...let God do that.
Juliet and Cindy,You are why I blog on. Sanity:)
What is sad also is that after 72 years on this earth and all the great entertainment he gave us our last mental image of him is going to be dead with a rope tied around his neck(s).
Most news reports say they believe it to be an accident.
Joanna, I'm hurt:(
I'm a little sane. ;)
Suicide does destroy the family and is an easy way out. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.Shame on all you so called health and psycology professionals for criticizing me on that. You all just proved the point that while professing to want to have an open forum and lively debate you really don't.You just want to post things and have everyone agree with you. Joanna I won't go there either. Or maybe I will.I had an uncle who comitted suicide. He sat down for breakfast at the table with his family and they had a pleasant time and when he was done he went into the bedroom and blew his head off with a shotgun.I only stated facts.Suicide is never the answer.That was my point.Yes they suffer.Shame on you Cindy for implying that you hope I never have to know the pain. Some of you on this blog are really full of yourselves.Just because you have degrees and teach or whatever those of us that don't are ignorant.So sad for all the smarts the shoe is really on the other foot!Peace.
OMG Mat...we were talking about David Carradine. I'm so sorry about your uncle, but you don't have to personalize every thing and then lash out at people you don't agree with. Yea Mat...life can be sad and we've all had the worst and hopefully the best (shoe on the other foot as you say). Then you grow up, roll with the punches, love thy neighbor and if you're lucky, love thy self.
That makes a lot of sense to me Pat.
I don't think that anyone here is endorsing suicide Matt. Looking at the topic and learning about it is not the same as agreeing with it.
Cindy, you statement to Mat…“And Mat, shame on you for being so judgmental...I hope that you never have to experience the kind of pain that drives someone to suicide”.
You can’t get shallower. Realize what you are saying.
…And Cindy, you need to realize that when you are commenting on such a sensitive subject such as suicide, that maybe…just maybe, there are people on this blog that have lost a sibling or close relative to apparent suicide…in recent times.
I wasn't trying to personalize anything just make a point.I also loved watching David Caradine and Kung fu.I don't have any thing against him. I think what he did if he indeed killed himself is Chickenshit.Those thoughts are based on my Catholic upbringing and years of exposure to the real world.Surely with all the exposure that suicide gets and all the prevention and education about it, there should be no reason to commit it.I have heard some here say that people who do it have agonized over it for a long time before hand.How do you know? Did anyone interview them after the fact?Sure you have talked to survivors but does that count?What is a survivor of suicide?In a way a failure by definition.Something separates the two.My personal belief is the ones who fail werent really ready to go.Sure there are some that are caught in time like in a drug overdose but why were they caught in time and not the ones who succeed?See, have a discussion and throw some thoughts around.My uncles suicide didn't affect me real hard because I didn't know him real well(i was growing up in florida and guam)but I remember him for sure. My dad took it pretty hard though obviously that was his brother.He didn't cry not in front of us anyways but men didn't back then.Men were hard.I'm not going to apologize for anything I posted on the subject.It is what it is. It's my opinion and opinions are like assholes.We all have one.You want to talk about the subject and debate it then fine.As always Peace.
Mat, that was so appropriately and nicely said! Cheers, peace and hi-5’s!
Ric I am really sorry for loss.
In some cultures suicide is not considered a bad option and in certain situations is expected. I will never forget how in Korea it was thought that the older people would throw themselves in front of a military plated car so that the family could benefit financially from their death. I was always extra careful when I saw people at intersections and along the highway. This is a culture where the elderly at a certain age buy their funeral clothes and coffins and keep them in the bed room closet. So there is an expectation that after you hit a certain age and are not useful that it is time to go one way or the other. My Chinese friend also said the same thing to me. I remember how after a major department store collapsed and hundreds died but a few survived when all hope was gone. A whole group of elderly cleaning staff had survived for days down in a pocket in the basement.The families were pissed off that they were not going to get as much financial compensation and there was a general consensus actually reported on the news that it would have been better if the group had died. Some of the elderly were interviewed later and actually expressed guilt at not dying.
Matt sadly for many people their situations are not temporary. I was raised catholic just like you and raised with the belief that there is a shame or weakness associated with suicide, but I have changed my mind. I have really seen some horrific, painful death and I believe that in some cases assisted suicide should be an option for terminally ill people.
Matt there is data and researcher out there related to suicide. Everyone's case has a unique set of circumstances, but usually people can put the events together that lead up to the event. For the loved ones it can be a lasting coulda, shoulda, woulda, guilt trip to deal with and in other cases perhaps even relief that they don't have to deal with the person or situation anymore.
Thank you Juliet!
Juliet while I appreciate what you said my comment was about our culture here in America. Not abroad.Obviously other cultures have their own beliefs.Assisted suicide is another thing.I have my own feelings on that.They might surprise you.But I am talking about suicide in general.I f you are terminally ill and your family knows it and you are in constant pain.If you have financially provided for your family and alls well and you're just tired and ready to go then sure do yourself in.If your girlfriend breaks up with you and jump off a bridge in an effort to "show her" then you're a pussy.I'm done already.
