oh the teenage angst.

The absolute worst part about this whole thing is the government involvement. Seriously. I thought Republicans were about smaller government and less hands-on? Shit, I must be wrong, because:

The actions on the part of the Florida court and the U.S. Supreme Court are unconscionable

"Unconscionable?" Really, Rick? Because I seem to remember you lumping sodomy in with beastiality and incest. That's fucking unconscionable. Well, let's see, maybe he's the only asshole who wants the judicial system to play by his rules (and his rules only).

Oh wait! Nope!

The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior

Way to issue a veiled threat. The judges aren't terrorists, no matter what your white bread, hyper-Christian mind thinks. DeLay also refers to what he calls "an arrogant and out of control judiciary that thumbs its nose at Congress and the president.” So they're not lap dogs? GOOD. That's the way it's supposed to be, jackass.

This entire thing is terrible, as any loss of life is, but seriously...

Living well helps but is not the end of all things. Even if your living will says you want to die, your spouse can still initiate legal action to keep you alive :P

Word.

It's astonishing how many "Patriotic Americans" have absolutely ZERO understanding of American History. However, when you look at the big picture it's completely understandable why our society is structured the way it is.

It's a brilliant strategy, I will admit. Since the abolition of slavery, the question of cheap labor (thank you, Mexico and India) has always been a relevant one. However, the less education people have, the less money they tend to make. The greater the economic divide, and therefore the class divide widens as well. The greater the class divide, the easier it becomes for the ruling class to consolidate power.

It's been the same story in America since Colonization. Too bad the average "Patriot" has no fucking clue what is in their best political interests.

I think it is still cruel to starve someone to death regardless whether they are brain die or not. We can't be sure that she didn't go through any agony before she die.

Isn't it a bit retarded to keep someone in vegetation state for 15 years, then starve her to death at the end anyways?

It's sad for a loss of life, but on the other hand, we don't have endless supply of resource, it would be so much better if we anesthetized her 10 years ago and use those money to save the kids in 3rd world countries.

Who knows, maybe that amount could have saved 10 kids whose brains aren't dead.

BTW news people are pathetic, general public should be able to vote which news they want to see and which they don't want to see on the news paper.

We do, it's called ratings. Unless you're talking about have a plebiscite for every single news story in which case you are, again, just retarded.

[SaucyKing]

it could be propaganda to make way for weird pro-life laws. the media is careful propaganda all of the time, thats why its weird and imbalanced like that

SIGH

[T3l Ca7]

she was filled with morphine

Last time I had tummy pain, I swallowed 10 panadeline pills, that's 5g of paracetamol + 80mg of codeine, maximum daily dosage for this kind of pain killer is 8.

GUESS WHAT? nothing happened, i still literally fainted from the pain - almost anyways.

I am just glad the pain doesn't happen often.

So much so for modern medicine.

We can't vote for every single news story, but we can for categories of news .

She couldn't feel pain, how fucking hard is that to understand? No one cares about your shitty " tummy pains" , next time do the world some good and down some bleach.

[K2Grey]

I'm pretty sure the amount of morphine she was on beats prescription doses of painkillers by alot.

When you're dying the side effects of morphine that are detrimental to your health don't really matter, i.e. you can pump alot of it into someone.

Yeah, it's called ratings. People want to see shit like Terri Schiavo on TV and in the newspapers.

[Tibro]

Now that's just mean. I'm guessing this is the lady who's parents want kept alive, but husband wants dead out of mercy. I'd put her out of her misery, I don't know why her parents would want to prolong a life of nothing.

im guessing because they couldnt bare to allow their child to die.


and i dont know why this thread is allowed to run. you may all hate racism, but to me making fun of mentally disabled people is much much worse.
