I have come back from the Forum Cemetery to answer this very interesting question.
Motokid - Not only are you an annoying ass, but you are also a childish troublemaker with some obvious personal issues. Quite honestly, I feel sorry for you.
You asked, I answered. No need to refute my...
Thanks, everyone! I didn't know this thread was even still going! :eek:
The burning smell and weird activity has dwindled to nearly nothing. I can't be 100% sure, but I think the cops said something to them. I still feel suspicious about them, and I still think they were doing meth or...
If that was the truth, this thread would have been deleted or locked on page 1. This issue, by nature, has obvious political and religious overtones.
What really gets me is the fact that "political mud-slinging" occurred quite a few posts before Motokid and I got into the debate. Please...
You know, I'd really rather keep politics out of it, too. But you cannot take it out of the equation in this debate. I'm sorry that pointing out facts bothers you. Perhaps a lot of my argument has been shaded by my personal feelings. But the fact cannot be ignored that President Clinton...
Ah yes. I knew it would come down to red states and blue states. And I knew you would eventually mention that much-mentioned-by-liberals article about President Bush's 1999 bill. The differences in those cases and this one are like night and day.
And it's not that we "right-wingers" find...
No, I'm not giving up on you. For some reason, my passion always overrides my desire to not waste my time.
My beliefs cannot be any stronger. I have already thought about this issue from every angle. My mind is made up.
We do not know what Terri wanted. Even if she may want to die because...
Saving Terri's life is more likely than trying to explain this to you.
"If efforts to save my life - in any capacity or quality - were futile, I would want my family to allow me to die (but not by starvation)."
This would not be murder.
"I'm against killing her by any means"
I'm against...
I'm against killing her by any means, but you'd think in a "civilized" nation, we would at least do it humanely. We lethally inject convicted serial killers. We lethally inject dogs and cats and other animals. Whether or not Terri can feel or sense anything is totally irrelevant. Depriving...
Yeah, I know I feel really graceful and elegant when I've gone without a few meals.
I don't know how any one (including "doctors") can say they know how Terri feels right now.
But one thing I do know - having your face hollow out, your skin flake off, your tongue and mouth swell up...
If I had no sources whatsoever - left or right, biased or unbiased - to get any information from, I would still know that we should not starve any living creature to death. As absurdly simple as that seems to some, it really is that black and white.
Some extra reading for those of you interested in this issue:
http://www.terrisfight.org/documents/CIyerAffidavit090203.htm
This is a sworn affidavit by a Registered Nurse who took care of Terri for 15 months in 1995-1996.
I must also state that her husband has not allowed any MRI to be performed on her. This would prove, much more so than an old CT Scan, in what state her brain truly is.
You are correct. If efforts to save my life - in any capacity or quality - were futile, I would want my family to allow me to die (but not by starvation). I personally (and strongly, if you can't tell) believe that efforts to save Terri would not be futile. But back to answering my...
The reason she has lost her ability to think or communicate is because her so-called husband has not allowed the nurses and doctors to provide rehabilitation and therapy for her for the last 15 years. Back in 1990 when this first happened to her, she could still speak and move around. But the...
HER BRAIN IS NOT DEAD. SHE IS NOT A VEGETABLE.
There is so much misinformation in the media - from both sides.
And no, I do not have a living will, but my husband and I have an appointment to make one within the next week. However, I don't worry about myself. I'm not that selfish. My...
Well, honestly and frankly, I resent that. Anything anyone on either side of this issue could be accused of demagoguery. Besides, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind. I gave up on that a long time ago.
