The media blatantly lied because they need ad revenues. If they were for Terri, they might lose their sponsors, many who have their own agendas.
Haven't read my posts, huh? I find no reason to respond to your repititious crap. How naive do you think I am? There is nobody disagreeing with you on this thread about the evil seen in this world. There are a great deal of disagreeable people. You belong to a very foul club, indeed, for allegedly civil discourse.
Get over yourself, and try reading what people post in its entirety before you jump into something and end up having to wipe your feet!
Some of us see through your histrionics. It gets you attention, and makes you feel like you are changing things. Change is surely happening! The world around us is seemingly out of control. But, there is a plan to end all the conflict!
Not to mention that the media has long favored the eugenics agenda.
I believe that Terri's death was Michael Schiavo's will. Greer, Felos, and others jumped on the bandwagon, too.
God didn't will Terri's death. God allowed the free will of some unkind people to be exerted.
I don't think that many Christians accept the fatalistic outlook that you say they do. Folks from non-Christian faiths are more likely to believe in fatalism.
Acording to Christianity, God is not a puppetmaster. He doesn't force people, like Michael Schiavo and his cohorts, to starve and dehydrate innocent victims.
You asked us, above, if we have chosen to follow Christ, yet you dismiss our attempts to follow Christ's commandment to "do good" to others.
Remember: Christ's death freed us from our selfishness. "Saved" Christians can see how their sins hurt God and hurt others and they are given the grace to personally change. God frees them to more deeply love God and love man, in this life.
I do not believe God wills people to do evil things to others. I believe that God wants us to care for our suffering brothers and sisters.
On the other hand, God allows us to choose evil.
Also, God can bring good out of evil. Someday, someone might "talk" or an incriminating piece of paper might show up, and Michael might be exposed as a person who did not follow Terri's wishes.
By the way, there's an underlying contradiction in your position.
1. You've told us we shouldn't speak out to change minds in order to save victims like Terri.
Yet
2. You give yourself permission to speak out in order to change our minds.
Why do you bother to try to change other people's minds, after telling us it's wrong for us to bother to try to change other people's minds?
Nice outline!!

Actually, it is just the opposite. You are the one in a very small minority.

Are you saying that we should be Buddhist-like?
You are the one who used a dying member of your family to illustrate a point, and then refused to clarify your point.
That is strange I think. "Discource" is just conversation or discussion generally. Is the poster who you addressed this to "foul" for just dicussing matters? Is FreeRepublic a foul club?
I was called a troll for coming to the thread, I thought with a call for clarity. I was accused of interfering, and I guess I hit home, when I called it a pity party. The only problem is that you are the ones to be pitied!
If anybody refuses to pat you on the heads, then they are ignorant and murderers. Sorry, but you will lose every argument with that crap!
I took this picture on the mountain one day last spring. It's just as clear as your thread! Please don't ping me, unltil you have something to deflect my posts, other than your ignorance!
Have a nice day.
Only in that any time we are at the mercy of judges anymore, it is risky. I think they need our prayers more than anything and they hope Liza just goes away.
What a pity!
Trolls have been bringing lively discussion to the threads lately in addition to the news. I guess if they didn't appear on their own, we would have to invent them to provide a forum since trolls are incapable of seeing themselves as others see them and of how foolish they look.
As you notice, I am fond of that Proverbs link. It refreshes my perspective.
"I told her, if she doesn't get out of her chair, they're going to kill her."
And as we all know now, that's what they did.
Who are they? That is a very good question, because it seems that fate (or something) put Terri in the hands of a self-serving husband, his attorney (a prominent "right-to-die" advocate), a pro-euthanasia judge, a Catholic Bishop who did little to intervene, and a state government that, for whatever reason, failed to invoke laws on the books in Florida which would have protected Terri Schiavo from a grisly conspiracy to put her to death.

Terri on the road to recovery before the second stage began.
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Michael Schiavo always complained he didn't want the government involved when it came to his legal battle with Terri Schiavo's family over whether he should be able to euthanize her. Now, Michael is traveling across the country campaigning for candidates who back assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Snip...
Meanwhile, Terri's brother Bobby Schindler thanked Lieberman and said Michael was a "hypocrite" for saying the government shouldn't be involved when he started the battle in the courts.
"Michael Schiavo made this a public matter back in 1998 when he petitioned the court to remove the feeding tube," Schindler told the Hartford Courant newspaper. "And it's very troubling for me for him to be calling this a family matter. For him to even refer to Terri as his wife in all this. . . . Terri will always be our family."

Terry and King squared off last year during the debate over the fate of Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged Tampa area woman who was the center of a right-to-die case. Terry was a spokesman and legal adviser for her parents, trying to keep her alive. King voted against state intervention in the case.

During the 109th Congress covering this year and last, Chandler differed with Pelosi on 10 key issues coming before the House. On several such occasions Chandler was among a relatively small number of so-called "Blue Dogs" bold enough to buck the left-leaning Democratic legislative leadership.
For example, in March 2005 Chandler was among 47 of the House's 202 Democrats to back a Republican bill creating special federal court jurisdiction so Terri Schiavo's parents could continue fighting against removal of her feeding tube. Pelosi and 101 other Democrats did not vote.

From Pamela: Liza has asked for extra time at the hearing... as she is now fighting for co-guardianship. Scott has indicated that he does not want to see Liza or have any further contact with her, nor does he want her to have anything to do with his guardianship. Scott did indicate that he would still like to see his son Logan, but without Liza present.
Please keep Scott in your prayers, especially this Monday morning @ 10:10 am. May God's will be done in keeping Scott safe and staying where he is now so that his recovery will continue.
New Hearing Scheduled for Monday, July 31st!
