"As for how to take control of the helm, the solution isn't hard to figure out — just hard to accept and effect. And all I'll say for now is this: After years of the Gramscian corruption of America, only a third of the population would do what's necessary to protect our culture — even if armed with the correct information" --Selwyn Duke.
Sorry, that wasnt necessarily directed towards you. it was a general venting of frustration over all the handwringing about this dumb tv show
Thanks; forgiven:) I think the show was so outrageous, that the anti-euthanasia and compassionate-for-Terri's-family folks couldn't believe it was actually being aired (there have been a couple that weren't). It was hard NOT to comment on this particular wretched episode. Yep, if a guy calls himself an exorcist, he pretty much determines how thinking people should think. Never argue with an exorcist, that’s they way I’ve always lived my life....

This is deeper than Terri Schiavo, although she and her family and those who see the evil of murder in the fake name of "compassion" or "choice" are not to be diminished. This is indeed as the Father says, a satanic culture of death. It is hatred of life, and the Author of all life. And the terrible shame is that so many fools watch this toxic sewage and are influenced.
Get over it?
Get over the culture of death and just laugh at those who are harmed?
What’s wrong with you?
>> This is indeed as the Father says, a satanic culture of death. It is hatred of life, and the Author of all life.
It’s the kind of hatred the Left needs for nourishment.
Another sleeper troll.

And what do you think the point of satire about someone being starved and dehydrated to death was?
Don’t you think there wasn’t enough conversation about it?
Or that it was ignored?
Whose principles is he trying to get to question?
Those who believe in the sanctity of life and consider her murder a torturous and barbaric way to kill someone?
Or those who agreed with the killing? And how would his satire get them to rethink their position on it?
If you were tied down and starved and dehydrated to death, I presume then that you wouldn’t object if someone made fun of you and what you went through. Right? I mean, it would be just too funny to watch it, wouldn’t it? And you’d just be having a laugh a minute the whole time you were dying. Right?
And if you didn’t, we could tell you just to *get over it*. I mean it would be no big deal after all, right?
I didn’t see the episode, but I’m curious as to how the show closed out the topic. Did it perpetuate the claim by the author or did it show an epiphany of sorts by the characters as to how important life is?
You need to go back and try to come up with the context of my remark if you really want to criticize it. If you can’t figure it out-— get over it.
If you don’t get the point of the joke, chances are you are the joke. Or, those with your apparent approach are the joke.
I suppose it was harsh, but those who roundly and mercilessly condemn others who feel the the court ruled correctly in this tragedy or may have made similar choices in their families have less respect for life than you do are guilty of as much tactless judgmental self righteousness as anyone-— which makes you a ripe target for satire. You stick your chin out so far for so long and someone will take a swing and the majority will never take you seriously.
I saw the context of your remark.
What, exactly, are you advising me to “get over”?
Please elaborate.
metalcor, FR is a pro-life forum. It is not a pro-death or personal attack forum. I am sure the leftist nasty places you hang out on are fine with hateful glee at the death of invalids, but FR is not.
Hopefully mods will notice you and you can get the boot, which you richly deserve.
For nasty death lovers, it’s only funny when other people suffer and die.
You certainly are free with the characterizations, condemnations and judgments, aren’t you? And apparently have no grasp of fact to base them upon. All this over a few seconds of societal satire, poorly done, about the pornographic public hype over a very personal, private tragedy and those who insist that they be allowed to insert themselves in places where they have no business because they ‘love life’ more than individuals who disagree. The whole public episode was as ridiculous and tasteless as the ‘comedic’ skit in the form of a preschool play. Which I took to be its point.
I will await my banning with head held high.
Death lover means someone who thinks the murder of Terri Schiavo is an occasion for mirth.
You think it’s funny satire; your character is revealed by your own words.
The only reason her situation became so public is because concerned citizens found out that she was going to be starved to death by her legal husband (although not a husband in truth). Whatever the media did is its own business has no bearing or reflection on either Terri Schiavo and those who personally cared about her, or people in general who were - and are - concerend about the culture of death, and where it is leading.
Your comparison of “public episode” with the nasty TV farce or whatever it was is another way you are revealing your own character.
You condemn yourself, I don’t need to say a word of “judgement”.
Others murdering the helpless IS everybody's business. Someone needs to stick up for those who can't defend themselves.
You have revealed yourself as a deathbot who is justifying not getting involved and allowing the killing of others under the guise of *it's nobody else's business*.
Demanding that others mind their own business and turn their heads at such evil practices shows the moral corruption and degradation of our society just as much as by those who make fun of murdering someone and those who laugh at such mockery do and call it satire.
There are some things that it is just not appropriate to mock or make satire of. Human life has value and to mock the sanctity of it demonstrates the total deprivation of of the mocker's character. Those who approve of such mockery or dismiss it are no better.
Trying to save someone's life is ridiculous? Do you feel that way about your life as well? Can you hold that thought for the next time you need help for ANYTHING?
************************
Terri was a human being who was killed in a horrible way, and imho, there is nothing worthy of satire there. Exposure, yes. Shining a light on the truth is good, but there are some things that should never be the subject of laughter, particularly on a TV show such as this.
