Vanity?

Perhaps that is how you value your life, but not mine, nor Terri's, or anyone's who is not hooked to a machine that is "making" thier body sustain life. Perhaps someday when you find yourself ill, you will not think your hospital bed is an item of vanity, sir. Why don't you read the post and comment on the contents therein, if not go somewhere else to post your heartless clauses.

Because I choose to post here. You are aware, I'm sure, that the owner and moderator of this forum have asked that people refrain from posting vanity posts as new threads. There are several active threads, where you can post your opinion on this matter. Literally hundreds of individual threads have been started in the past few days.

Those that are tied to some news publication are here in the news/activism topic on Free Republic. Posts that are just someone's opinion are not. Those are called vanity posts.

Right now, such threads are being moved, often to the Chat topic, where they can't be seen by people browsing Free Republic.

Had you posted your thoughts in one of the active threads, it would be read by many. Since you posted it as a vanity thread, it will be seen by very few. I'm sure you want your thoughts to be read, right?

So, find one of the active threads and post them there, and they will be read and responded to. In Chat, you're not going to get many posts.
