Last word on Terri Schiavo...

[Hildy]

For all of those who have called me every imaginable name because I dare to suggest that there are some things worse than death...I don't wish you on you anything that poor woman goes through on a minute by minute basis. Because you know so much, and are so sure that you are right because you are all so freakin self-righteous...I'm leaving FreeRepublic because I no longer want to be a part of something that has become so twisted. Hannity is right, this website has been hijacked. It was a good run...but we'll find another place. Save your jabs, I won't be reading them. To those who have privately agreed with me, and there are many, thank you. I'm just worn out and frankly, don't even care what most here think.

[EternalVigilance]

Your personal wishes don't cut it.

But yours do. Right...

We've got the Bible, the history of Western Civilization, two branches of Florida government and the Constitutions of the U.S. and Florida on our side.

We'll stand on that solid ground, you go ahead and stand with the pro-death crowd on and off the bench...but I'll warn you, they, and you, are on shifting sand.

I was just adding that to my previous post.

"Why doesn't he just leave her with her parents or her brother or sister (I was adding this) who want her to LIVE and move on?"

BTW- What do you mean? That sentence to which I was adding to was a question.

[BigSkyFreeper]

But yours do. Right...

I never said that. For all I care, you can go stifle yourself with your self-righteous indignation.

[EternalVigilance]

...you can go stifle yourself...

Nah. I'm not a helpless disabled person. You won't find me so easy to kill...

[mercy]

Oh, you're speaking for Jim now. Fool.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Nah. I'm not a helpless disabled person.

Never said you was. You won't find me so easy to kill...

Whatever

[EternalVigilance]

Jim's spoken for himself on this issue many times.

He says FR is pro-life.

Live with it.

[EternalVigilance]

Whatever

Is Terri a 'person' or not?

[onja]

I'm confuseded. You said it but you didn't say it. Was it just a misunderstanding or what? Were you saying that what I wanted didn't matter (although I didn't really use opinion) or that I couldn't add that to my other post (which I didn't mean to) or was it some other thing to which I am unenlightened?

[BigSkyFreeper]

I think we both know the answer to your question.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Is Terri a 'person' or not?

Why don't you ask her.

[EternalVigilance]

Why don't you ask her.

I don't have to. The answer is obvious.

[BigSkyFreeper]

In my opinion, and of course my opinion means diddly-squat as far as your concerned it seems, Terri is a living, breathing, human being, unable to care for herself, or speak out her wishes.

[onja]

I DON'T! I'm not trying to provoke you or such like. I'm just an ignorant little person who doesn't understand. Please elaborate your statement.

BTW- This is FUN!

[BigSkyFreeper]

I don't have to. The answer is obvious.

Then why did you ask me if you knew the answer?

[EternalVigilance]

In my opinion, and of course my opinion means diddly-squat as far as your concerned it seems, Terri is a living, breathing, human being, unable to care for herself, or speak out her wishes.

Okay. We're making progress.

Doesn't a simple reading of the Constititutions of both the United States and the State of Florida protect her, then?

[BigSkyFreeper]

I'm just an ignorant little person who doesn't understand.

Twerp is more like it.

[onja]

A rhetorical question.

[EternalVigilance]

Then why did you ask me if you knew the answer?

MY understanding of the obvious was not what was at issue.

[onja]

Ok. Sorry if I offended you. I will try to be more serious. I apologize. Still, I really do not understand it.
