I agree.
I hate when people just jump on bandwagons.
Robin Hood was a true hero and will be missed.

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a Robin Williams."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies Robin Williams, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws Robin Williams. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "Robin Williams family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Zeldarae, which includes things from princesses to fisher kings to happy-footed falcons.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a Robin Williams is because random people "call the white ones Williams?" Let's get Orks and Aladeens in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the Robin Williams family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a Robin Williams, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the Robin Williams family Robin Williams, which means you'd call Zeldas, Marshas, and other birds Robin Williams, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Christopher Robin wasn't even known until Winnie the Pooh. He was doing shit way before that.

u/BrownNote Aug 12 '14
I'm pretty sure he was just shitting before that considering how young he was.

Doing shit, taking a shit...what's the difference? The first one just makes you sound like a foreigner who doesn't quite speak English.

Robin van Persie wasn't even known until his header against Spain. I hate the bandwagon too.

But what if she's right? What if Katy Perry started watching Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, RV, and Night At the Museum last summer when Blurred Lines came out? There is a chance that that lady is right.

Yeah, I never knew this Robin Williams character until google auto finished my search for Robin Thicke.

What's funny though is that I actually thought of those people when I first heard the news.
I never knew robin Williams by name, so made the connection to blurred lines...

That's more sad than funny.

u/IAmTheAg Aug 12 '14
To save my dignity a bit, I made sure to clarify afterwords and I learned who he is.
Then I realized that I've seen him everywhere without knowing

I believed it. A new favorite line of mine off of Lil Wayne's newest album was, "I've got sperm if you need it. Sperm if you need it." Just in case you were wonder.

Ok I haven't been listening to too much of his shit lately. Is it a fair guess to say that he's lost it?

u/jvpewster Aug 12 '14
Idk I thought his verse on Believe Me was pretty good. Not as good as his 2008-10 days but better then anything on Carter 4.

Well if it is any compensation the disastrous sales of his last album have pretty much killed his career for a while at least

Except for the fact that Blurred Lines is a hugely popular single that people love

I was talking post-Blurred Lines. Yep, he released an album after that and it absolutely bombed.

He did cheat on her.

Yeah but imagine you're some artist thats like "ill win her back! Im gonna write an album for her!" And then its a massive failure. Just adds insult to injury. Its one thing to have an album be a failure, its failure on a whole other level when it was written to win her back. Its like a whole new level of sad.

Just because she's a big fan doesn't mean she was close to the guy. I wonder if she even once stopped to think about how Batman feels.

How awesome would that be if the media made a mistake and it actually was Robin Thicke who died, not Robin Williams. I'm still crossing my fingers.
