Agree.
Four more since you posted.
Spelling police are coming...
That's why I only post to the Wendy's finger threads.
Clyde is just one of those types who think's they should be telling everyone else what to read, what not to read, what to discuss, what not to discuss, etc. It is just a form of Political Correctness and better suited to DU than here.
"When I booted up the puter this morning, I was sickened by this thread: "Terri Bleeding From Eyes and Mouth".
I guess I look at that much differently... We are a very forgetful society and maybe if we get blasted out by the number of Terri threads it will make us actually look at the issues surrounding it rather blowing it off as another thread. I always felt that watching the world trade center crumble into ashes was such a horrible site... and it is... However, I then felt it necessary to be shown EVERY DAY because a very large number of our fellow citizens have forgotten what it was like to be a true AMERICAN that morning...
Please don't tell me that that has nothing to do with this thread ok, I'm fully aware of that... My point is that sometimes it takes alot more tha we think for people to not just wake up but truly smell the coffee...
Yeh, you're right. What the heck. It's only about whether people who are unable to speak for themselves have the right to continue to live when their desires have not been disclosed, which will, like the "camel's nose analogy", allow more kinds of people to be killed without their permission, like those suffereing from Alzheimers, cerebral palsy, and eventually, the senile, Down syndrome patients, the paralyzed, senior citizens, and eventually if you're of the wrong religion, or wrong race, or wrong color, or those who can't keep a job or refuse to work. That's all. Nothing drastic that we should be paying any particular attention to it. Yawn!
N O T ! ! !
You're absolutely right, of course. But I think that, by definition, vanities are devoid of purpose.
Did you know that I am going to walk the dog now, but will be back.
Well, got to go plant my flowers even though it is raining.
Guess what - I have a really neat recipe.
I'll be starting a live thread so we can gossip about the oscars, American Idol, the press conference, ..........
Is that more comfortable for your sensibilities?
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww gross!
Well there sure won't be many for long now will there?
Then back to others cluttering up the air waves.
HAHAHAHA!!! Did you know Jennifer Aniston want to take back her "maiden name"??? UUHH MMAAA GAAAD!!!
I care a whole lot about accurately warning people about disasters and disaster preparedness, which will have a lot more to do with saving more people than the Schiavo case, but most people really don't care about it that much."
Perhaps it's because Terri Schiavo's life is about to be snuffed out in a matter of hours or days, not years. The above things will not kill anyone if it is not discussed now or in the IMMEDIATE future. GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.
Yes, it is. The people of FR are pretty good at a number of levels, some intellectual, some not, at recognizing that and that is what is happening here. And it is still the best place, notwithstanding the amount of chaff, to find the wheat.
Yes, more important matters like Bobby Fischer, perhaps..
Our modern 'founding father', considered the sanctity of life issue, the number one most important issue. Not tax cuts, not spending cuts, not the size of government. NO, it is was the sanctity of life issue.
Once again, I'll post what he said:
Ronald Reagan's record reveals that no issue was of greater importance to him than the dignity and sanctity of all human life. "My administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land," he said in 1983. "And there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning." One of the things he regretted most at the completion of his presidency in 1989, he told me, was that politics and circumstances had prevented him from making more progress in restoring protection for unborn human life.
For Reagan, All Life Was Sacred By WILLIAM P. CLARK
That's right. we're all Freepers, for better or worse.
Good picture.
