It's obvious that the martyrdom of Terri Schiavo is a satanic ritual. It's supposed to culminate tomorrow, day Jesus Christ died.
I'm sure many of you also have understood it. Instead of continuing listing the details, I will let you do it yourselves.
Yes and I'll just read and be amused at some and shocked at others.
Yesterday it was gospel that the children had to be homeschooled simply because the daughter was wearing an ankle length skirt and the little boy wore long pants. And I received some smart a## replies that it was springbreak in Florida which I had to laugh at because if the posters at made any attempt to read the article or the captions of the pictures they would have known that family is from Texas.
Not many credible ones.
And you missed my point: Doctor Cheshire hasn't done the examinations the others have; people were all over TV tonight, disagreeing with him -- some even scoffing at what he said.
Whe you talk, you talk, david!
Keep talkin :)
A fabulous post.
Thanks for ping, TT.
*cue the cricket sounds from the media*
The war is going so well that no one is covering it anymore. If this trend holds for another few months, the insurgency will collapse and the war will end. Now think about this:
-American military power, cultural values, and political vision are about to succeed in the face of almost global opposition. A hundred or so posts.
-Severely disabled woman being killed by controversial court order. Thousands and thousands of posts.
Humor me. I think what's going on in Iraq at least warrants equal attention, huh?
We have a SANE thread here with a core group of people who aren't willing to see FR taken over by the radical right.
Thanks for the ping!
This is an oasis.
Terri will die because she had a fatal arrhythmia 15 years ago, possibly brought on by bulimia. Instead of dying then she was miraculously kept alive while her brain, severely deprived of oxygen at the initial event, continued to atrophy. There is now 20% of the cortex left. Terri will die because modern medical science is no longer keeping her alive via a feeding tube, inserted surgically, and because antibiotics administered for every UTI caused by the catheter in her bladder or every wound infection from the feeding tube have prevented nature from running its course.
Terri will die because our advanced technology has forced us to write laws that will allow people to decline that the shell of their body be kept breathing and their heart beating with no remaining intelligence or any brain activity otherwise that would identify her as human versus the instincts of an invertebrate.
Cruelly put perhaps, but true.
Do mean the world renowned neurologist who stated that PVS is a type of coma today? People get flamed for saying she's in a coma, don't they?/sarcasm.
No kidding.
Oh, I follow the war very closely. Check my profile. The biggest story was the 85 terrorists killed in a battle, not one US soldier was killed. Most of the killed terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Syria. And what coverage did it get here? A couple threads compared to this story. I was on a thread the other day, someone counted 250 threads from all the forums, 131 were Schiavo threads.
There are so many posts here and so much to read - forgive me if this has been addressed. I have a friend who's a nurse at the Mayo Clinic, which is mighty pi$$'d at the neurosurgeon or whoever it was that supposedly gave input recently that she wasn't PVS.
Now the Mayo name is getting attached to a professional consultation. Mayo is having conniption fits at all the publicity and use of the Mayo name. So we get e mails about the fact that Terri S. is not a Mayo Clinic patient and this doc did a history case review, not a physical exam of the patient etc. etc. We are given numbers to call to refer questions too and to tell people to call the department of children and families not the Mayo clinic.
Terri Schiavo has better brain function than some of the posters here coolly cheering on her death. Certainly she has better spiritual function and health.
Yup.
Normally, it's just a matter of reading reports that the MSM tries to spike or downplay. Now, it's like we're jamming our own communications networkds.
I also noted that posters said that those kids had to be homeschooled because the girl wore a long skirt, the boy wore long pants, and also the boy had his shirt tucked in...therefore that means they are homeschooled...maybe they were, maybe they werent...maybe they go to Catholic School...maybe they belong to a religion that emphasizes modest dress in their children, and perhaps the children go to a private school...but to state that these kids were homeschooled, strictly based on what they were wearing, was to say the least, silly...
And where did you receive your degree in neuroscience? Any medical background whatsoever? Have you even seen Terri and personally evaluated her in person? Have you had any experience with ANY brain-damaged folk in various states of recovery? Any in PVS? Just curious...
Very true. I've seen the threads on this subject for years, and never taken much of an interest. I posted my first comments about it two days ago, and have since been called everything but a Child of God. Unbelievable.
Here is an example of where the ping list can work...we can all hit the abuse button at the same time. Attacking a FReeper rather than debating the ideas has to stop.
Dr. H is an alternative medicine doctor. He claims to have a Nobel nomination but can't provide documentation, even though the court asked him to bring it.
He's been asked to stop saying he's a Nobel nominee but he refuses to change his letterhead because "it's too expensive".
He claims to have helped lots of patients like Terri but under oath couldn't give the Court one name or any documentation to prove that.
He advertises in the National Enquirer. Insurance companies don't typically work with him so he accepts pretty much cash only.
Some freepers put great stock in the fact that he's attended some pretty important annual neurological meetings and given speeches.
I have a neighbor who ran a Physical Rehab Clinic in town. She left to start her own business of training RNs and physical therapists throughout the southeast.
She hires all sorts of people, including some alternative medicine people who are outside even the fringe of that group. I've asked her why and she has told me that the medical community is composed of all sorts of people, including the very fringe of alternative medicine and she wants them to have someone to listen to at these conferences as well.
Oh, and Dr. H is also listed on a web site that is run by doctors and deals with quacks in the medical community.
