I am actually starting to feel pretty bad for Charlie Sheen, the guy is obviously going through some pretty serious mental health issues and people are glossing over that rather prefering to take easy shots at him. I was listening to the radio yesterday and they were discussing reports that he was displaying bipolar tendancies - and then the hosts rather than offer any empathy in the least started saying that he was "bi-stupid" and making further jokes about him. While Charlie Sheen might be a drug addict from all the readings that I have done on the subject it seems as though addictions commonly stem from diseases such as bipolar disorder and the like.

I think if people associated with the filming of two and a half men, the producer in particular (Chuck something I think), knew that he had these issues, and then made fun of him on the show via the slides at the end of the show, that shows a real lack of class and maturity on their part as well. If there was someone who was diagnosed as being schizophrenic and people made fun of that it would be condemned very fast, but in this case people just want to pile on.

Granted he could just be an ass.

I watched the 20/20 interview on the Youtube and even though he claims there isn't any drugs in the house and that if he found some he would "throw it all out" it doesn't seem like he would. That guy seemed really weird during the interview especially when he was holding up that red string or something to his eye and the interviewer asked him to put it down. Either he's got some mental issues, he's or drugs, or he's just having an incredible amount of fun. Whatever the case is I doubt a lot of networks or movie companies would want to invest more money in him seeing as how unstable he seems to be.

Charlie seems happy, and I don't think its an act.

If nothing else, good for him for that alone.

Our society is still so puritanical. I'm guessing 90% of people that are following the story are hoping he dies in an overdose. Either for entertainment, or to confirm what they "know" about him.

There's no better advertising than associating yourself with a coked-out sociopath that just had his kids taken away from him.

I'm actually pretty shocked media outlets aren't focusing more on his mental issues. I guess some of the stuff he's doing is funny to some and get good ratings on TV, but the man is clearly in trouble. I hope his friends and family doing something soon to help him.

A guy from A&E's Intervention seems to think rants like the ones he's been doing often precede death from an overdose.

And Mean Mr. Mustard, get it right, he isn't bi-polar, he's bi-winning.

The whole thing is kind of fascinating. I can't tell if the guy is seriously mentally messed up or he's just toying with the media. The thing that's throwing me off is that he's coming up with some awesome one liners, its not like an incoherent babbling mess that most people with drug and mental problems are.

Charlie Sheen maybe a train wreck but at least he's living his life the way he wants to and to the fullest he wants.
Not all people who have the financial freedom have the freedom to do whatever they want.
Take Tiger Woods for instance; he wants to do hookers and blows but can't.

Regardless of what the masses think, the most important thing is being able to do whatever that makes you happy.

Edit: I suppose you can argue Sheen isn't happy with the way things are going but I guess that's human nature.

Yeah, Charlie Sheen is the first person in the world to show us all what "Eff you" money really looks like.

Well considering that his living the life the way he wants to and to the fullest that he can just cost him his two sons, thats awesome.

Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean that you should do a thing, thats what makes us adults.

Basically he's made himself unemployable, he's lost his kids, his health is probably going to go to sh%t if he keeps going down his path.

A person with all the money in the world and no impulse control isn't someone to be admired. And a coked up drunk isn't someone who has the world by the balls, the world has him by the balls.

He's pretty much pathetic, not admirable.

But a guy who has kids in his life, in his home, should be sacrificing some of the things that make him happy, such as freaking cocaine, in order to raise them properly.

The man is clearly mental - but in a way that makes him feel that he is awesome and winning at everything. If I had to choose a mental disease, I'd choose that one every time.

Wonder how many of those woman had to be paid for, it kind of takes the glow off of his accomplishments.

And I've always kinda doubted the Gene Simmons number, I think its an exaggeration based around how loyal his relationship is with Sharon Tweed.

More about Sheen's home life...

Quote:
Sheen lives with both 24-year-old porn star Bree Olsen and former nanny Natalie Kenley in a Los Angeles mansion, and the women have explained they all take turns sleeping in the middle of one bed - but do have the option of going to another one if they need sleep.

Asked if the group have sex together, Bree said: "We do whatever Charlie wants us to. This is the type of lifestyle I've always wanted and I'm thrilled with it."

...

"All three of us are in a relationship, and if Charlie ever wants to go outside 'The Wedge' and act out on his sexual desires, that's fine with Natty and me. We're laid back."

She also claims she is happy with the state of their relationship because the troubled star is being honest about what he wants rather than being a "hypocrite".

Bree added: "In my experience, most guys are hypocrites - they will say one thing and think another. Charlie is living it up. Men are programmed to want to reproduce. They are genetically engineered to try and have sex with as many women as they can."
