Ok, let me correct the statement.

"Gee, another FReeper who thinks a spouse's rights includes the right to murder his/her husband or wife."

What's wrong with the word 'disabled'?

It came right out of the ORIGINAL STORY:

Nothing wrong with using the word "disabled."

Kinda touchy, aren't you?

Wonder why that is?

So, you are back on this one. Are you going to start telling us about the different ways your father died, or about how peaceful starvation is?

The moderator you fooled on that thread last night didn't realize how devious you were until a later poster who joined just today started talking about the detailed content of a post he claims he hadn't seen.

That meant that YOU informed him. Although you claimed to be offended and upset, and it was wrong and all that, you couldn't control yourself enough to keep from broadcasting the story.

That's why I'm starting out this thread with a complaint to the Moderator to the effect that you are a chronic complainant who is not really interested in eliminating a supposedly offending post ~ just one who wants to harrass other posters with deletion notices.

>>>Stop using the word DISABLED.

Thank you for your advice, but I can see where no one ping'ed you to this thread. You came on your own volition at post #9.

That seems to break your former solemn pledge, since this article was FROM the SCHIAVO Foundation, and written by Pam Hennessey...

You burned a ton of bridges with fellow freepers before you made that promise. Its sad of you to come back and egg others for more. Terri-Supporters, lets please leave Hildy alone as she wished on 3/23.

Did somebody call you DISABLED again? I wish they'd just come right out and say STUPID!

Stop using the word DISABLED.

I frankly can't think of a better word. What would you suggest?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Usage Note:

Disabled is the clear preference in contemporary American English in referring to people having either physical or mental impairments,

Didn't you threaten to leave a while back? I guess the temptation to stay and taunt those who favor life was too great huh?
