    Oh :(

    RIP
    wait, that was on Saturday night? 4/5

    that's another major famous person that died, Kurt and Layne both died on 4/5 also.

    Wow, that's a weird, creepy morbid coincidence. Whoa.

    Yeah, that is too bad...

    He sure was an American films icon spanning many decades.

    R.I.P.


    As liberal as I have become, I still hold on to the importance of the right to bear arms.. even though I've never held a real gun in my life.

    Even though he was sort of the epitome of what I hate about the NRA, I must say he was a fantastic actor.

    (I think the second ammendment is clear and needs to be upheld just like any other part of the constitution, but sometimes the NRA lets the blind faith of their cause over ride logic)

    Ditto. He might have been a good actor, but his behaviour and the NRA's behaviour after Columbine was appalling.

    some of you people amaze me. after ledger died there was all kinds of crap because some moron made jokes about his death on the radio and how that was so uncalled for. yet here we are again making fun of a dead guy cause we didnt like some of the things he did. lets just forget the fact that he's human, like all us.

    i believe NRA members everywhere are jacking up crimes with gun statisics in honor of that old figurehead today!

    I don't mean to poke fun at a dead guy, but come'on. THIS GUY watched 3 of the most amazing men get blown away in his generation and once supported gun control! (MLK, JFK, RFK) Then flipped even after he was a friend of Reagan and watched him get shot! He once stood by MLK for a walk on Washington, MLK would be turning in his grave to see the way this guy turned out. RIP and good riddance!
    I believe we have rights, but our right to bear arms does not mean every mother f@#$% gets to carry a gun!
    If you support something like the NRA as strongly as this guy did, well you are then remembered with the cause you supported. Other people will praise him for his life and I will not!

    Who is making fun of him?
    If he is known for anything, it is that ridiculous line about prying the gun from his cold dead hands. If you ask the general public, that is what most will remember.
    Yes, they will remember Ben Hur and those horrible kitschy ape movies.
    But he is known for that infamous line.
    I have never been a fan of his and think his behavior in certain historical situations was abominable. Most notable for me was Columbine.
    To compare what is written here with the jokes made after Heath Ledger passed is like apples and oranges. (I loathe that saying. lol)

    Hm. Well, he was pretty old, wasn't he? He was a legend and I always liked him. And I support his support of the NRA, even though I hate guns and will never own one. It's still constitutional for one to have the right to bear arms.
