"Hello statue. So would you have pulled the trigger on Randy Weavers wife."

Naw, and I fail to understand why Lon Horiuchi did either.

[Armed Civilian]

Well I am glad to hear that. I was curious because of your response to me yesterday. By the way, the Apostles weren't the only ones who wrote the bible. Remember, there is an old testament

[Gringo1]

"Remember, there is an old testament"

Unless you are catholic or Lutheran(like myself), you would never know it.

[Gringo1]

I did include "and others of note.Job,etc)" in my statement.

[Armed Civilian]

Did you see the Luther movie? Great movie.

"What if you cloned her and you ended up with 2 PVS Terri Schiavos? We would have to quit our jobs to counter the nonsense here.

Terri isn't in a PVS, in fact she was never in a vegetave state at all. The docs lied.

[Gringo1]

I did not see it....been very busy working and raising a family.

[paulklenk]

Let's call it what it is: euthansia.

Let's call it what it is: euphemism.

[Gringo1]

"Terri isn't in a PVS, in fact she was never in a vegetave state at all. The docs lied."

All the doctors agree she is PVS, even the court-appointed ones.

I notice you left off the tag...pretty typical to edit something to fit a preconcieved notion.

If either of us has a "preconceived notion," it's you. I didn't edit anything. I copied your gem in total from the Browse page. When I clicked the link to read the story, it had already been pulled. So, if your article contained a humor tag, it was past the character limit to appear on the Browse page.

Next time, you might try posting the product of your wit in the General Interest forum, with something like "(Humor)" in the title. That way, it won't be quite so misleading.

[Gringo1]

If you try to relax a little bit.

[newgeezer]

If you try to relax a little bit.

Relax? I'd like to relax just long enough to catch a movie. But, someone's bound to accuse me of neglecting my work and/or family.

(or, did you forgot your <humor> tag back there?)

[Gringo1]

"But, someone's bound to accuse me of neglecting my work and/or family."

I can relate to that. Sometimes I think I'm the only one at work who actually works. And with my wife on active duty with the Army, I have all the home/kids responsibilities on top of that.

"All the doctors agree she is PVS, even the court-appointed ones.

Not so. Moreover, Hamersfar(sp) made a correct diagnosis.

Here's a quote from Dr. Peter Bambakidis the court's expert, "There are no tests to confirm a person's "inner awareness," said Dr. Peter Bambakidis, a neurologist from Cleveland." The guy moonlights a an expert witness, but really doesn't know what he's talking about. This is the guy that performed the balloon test. Do you suppose he would have recieved Terri's cooperation if he spoke to her in Cantonese? If there's no test to determine if someone is aware, how does he evaluate his patients, coin toss? I think his diagnosis amounts to no more than a complimentary nod to the consensus opinion of PVS for using his services.

[Gringo1]

Oh, that is the guy on probation?

I think we already went through his self-serving form of medicine if it is the same guy.

[spunkets]

Yea, he's operating on a probationary licence. That doesn't change, the facts though. Since you're not on probation, let's see what you come up with from that link.

[Gringo1]

The facts can change depending on who you get to state them.

[spunkets]

"The facts can change depending on who you get to state them."

The truth exists regardless of what anyone says it is. It is not hidden. I gave you a link that contains facts. It seems that you are either unwilling, or incapable of looking at the facts and coming to your own conclusions regarding the truth of the matter.

So how is it okay if she starves herself into a CVS and not okay if she is starved out of one?

You fell and bumped your head, so I can use a baseball bat on it to put you out of your misery?

GHOUL.
