Reimer may be a murderer, but he still stands head and shoulders above that lying weasel Mike Schiavo.

Everybody was critical of me last time I said it, but I think we can all agree now that Michael Moore was right.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

I know. I think there is more behind it than just not wanting to pay her bills.

Perhaps she was sick enough he thought he could make it look like she fell accidentally and collect the life insurance $$.

I do have empathy for this man’s suffering but where was his support network (i.e. church, family co-workers, etc.)? There are lots of people out there willing to help people.

Maybe the fellow is such an a-hole that he long ago alienated any potential help from those sorts of folks. I mean, really: what normal person decides that the way to deal with a sick person is to toss 'em over the balcony?

Promise me you won't worry, I think it's nothing more than a mild case of AIDS. If it worsens, I'll head to Cuba to get it cleared up.

Sadly, you may have a point. More realistically though is that he may have become isolated due to stress, depression, etc. It’s hard to go out and socialize when you have to care for a very ill wife.

That’s why I think having a church family is so very important. Even when one has no biological family or one nearby, a church family is a beautiful blessing.

Yeah - because Reimer admitted it. Schiavo is still a lying POS.

Dysphoria

I had to look that up, Darksheare. I can hardly wait to use it next time someone asks me why I'm crying at my desk.

You've got that exactly right.

Worst part is that the spelling chicken button had no idea what to make of the word.

Man! That’s cold.

It was probably premeditated murder.

This is a shameless vanity. My 24 year old son is engaged to a lovely young woman with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. She is going through some dreadful treatments for the last 5 months and right now is prepping for her (autologous) bone marrow transplant.

And he says he can take anything at all as long as she doesn’t die. But if he has to, he’ll hold her when she goes.

This is from, really, a kid. The guy in the story? He’s not even human, in my eyes.

Well, at least Reimer didn’t hide behind a creepy lawyer and a phony “judge” to do his dirty work.

“Lying weasel” — exactly right!!
