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.
I'd defend anyone, if given the opportunity. I don't belong to a clique.
That's ridiculous.
I don't.
It is you that has voiced discontent with Hildy's.
Then you shouldn't have a problem with my comments or anyone elses.
Noooo! You said it just fine! : ) I got that you were just asking. Wish more would! lol
You really gave me something to think about but when you injected the type of cars they drive I then became distracted. A polite suggestion leave those facts out in the future, it seemed petty and frankly unnecessary. I do understand your passion and that is why you pointed that out. See, it distracted me from the rest of the comment.
Getting back to the rest of your remarks, I was unaware of the feeding tube only being inserted for meal times. It appears it is because she is unable to feed herself. Still is it not the doctor who runs the show and makes sure she has the needed care such as the physical therapy. To help retrain her to do for herself? I know, it is because of her husband that she did not get proper care. Frankly I would consider suing the hospital it appears they did not do right be Terri and the oath they took.
I wonder if she had left a note saying she would not want to be left this way would those who are pro Terri still find a way to get involved?
I can tell you clearly I am conflicted on this issue like one cannot understand.
We treat our pets better. Perhaps the medical field is going to have to decide to make changes.
To think in the 80s a family had a child it was born 3 months early. The doctor kept doing test's kept doing stuff and the parents asked that they stop to allow their daughter to die with some dignity in the arms of her father and mother. The doc would not back down and in the end the parents were in the hole for millions because we could keep the child alive.
Again, thank you for the very informative post. Please take me reply in the same manner.
You're right, there are exceptions.
It wasn't me who raised the old and tired 'free speech' red herring on a private CONSERVATIVE website in defense of someone who argues often against the stated principles of that site.
I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy and foolishness of that ploy.
Wasn't me either. You've got me mixed up with someone else.
I was responding to your #284.
Neutral?????? You've got to be kidding. Hildy was no more neutral than those she disagreed with. Perhaps even less so.
Post 222 was clerifying the correction of 218. I corrected it (added sister and brother) in the post you intially responded to(218). I thought you may have misunderstood it so I did the correction more clearly(bold, whole sentence). Still it is nice this is over.
Yeah right, FREE SPEECH is a red herring.
EV, thanks for playing.
You're sounding silly now.
Guess you haven't seen the antifreepers whine about 'free speech on FR'.
I know, you broached the topic.
In response to another poster. Follow along.
I'm aware of that thank you.
Right. Like I said, I didn't bring it up.
Nope, but next time you see 'em, PLEASE ping me.
I'd love to engage 'em.
Why don't you engage your friend about creating so much grief for herself by posting on the side of the pro-death forces who want to murder Terri Schiavo?
Good night.
