I see the point of this thread. It's about a group of folks who believed that starving a person to death was "merciful" and "compassionate", based on hearsay, who claimed to be fed up with the name-calling, etc. yet that group, self-dubbed as the "coalition of the sane" have, by default, labeled anyone who doesn't agree with their "compassionate" ways as "insane".
Now, tell me again why I would want to enjoin myself with hypocrisy?
Would you care to provide some evidence that this "group of folks" collectively holds this opinion?
All we want is a civil discussion so facts can be brought and reasonably evaluated, without the overheated rhetoric.
Is that so bad?
You assertion is incorrect, ma'am.
When the Allies liberated Germany there were no Nazis to be found. All the local farmers claimed they had no idea there had been death camps in their back yards. "I know nothing" was not coined by the character, Shultz, on Hogan's Heroes.
That may have been what you saw, but not what, IMO, many others saw...
"The WPPFF is NOT of one mind as to the case of TS or its correct outcome. In fact, wide disagreement exists within our little group. However, we are united in our wish that reason and sanity be respected in the discussion, as well as the rights of all parties involved or participating. We wish to discuss this as adults and intellectuals, as conservatives and as FRiends, not as children screaming past each other on some playground of hysteria. We wish for facts and evidence to be provided, discussed reasonably, and considered fairly.
We reject all accusations of Naziism, "death cultism", or other slander as methods of debate. We reject the practice of "spamming" multiple threads, of posting unending vanities, and the posting of propaganda and calls for violence. We reject, in fact, all unseemly and childish behavior which has come to characterize this case on FR."
Would you consider the above statement as a possible point to this?
The difference is that we try hard to discuss it with nobody invoking Godwins Law.
No, that's not the point of the thread.
Not at all.
On this thread there are those who are appalled that Terris feeding tube was pulled, and there are others who disagree...
If you dont believe that, then I can only guess that you have not read the whole entire thread, or dont understand what you have read...
I have said, from the beginning, I did not want Terri Shiavos tube pulled, and if you insist in saying that I personally wanted her tube pulled, then obviously you did not understand what I wrote...
And there is certainly enough hypocrisy to go around to all the threads...
I was very pro-Terri but after a while the talk in many Terri threads was extremely counterproductive. You're welcome to post though.
