So...when someone says, "All we need is to have one of Terri's friends testify she said X while they were watching a movie," do you think they're advocating perjury or being sarcastic?
I think you're confusing the words "perjury" and "heresay".
oops!
heresay=hearsay.
Need more java........

I see why you thought that, Coop, but here's the conversation that I was responding to:

Brilliant!
What Terri needs is for one of her friends or family to state that Terri saw a movie or news about a guy that is married yet living with another woman and having kids with the other woman and Terri stated, at the time, that she would divorce Michael if he did the same thing to her!
Should be given the same weight as other declarations of Terri that never made it into writing.

Advocating perjury?

Advocating perjury?
Let's review:
Michael schiavo has said that Terri responded to a film about a disabled woman by saying she'd never want to live that way. His whole "pull the tube" case rests on this being a real conversation, and on said conversation meaning that she would prefer to be starved to death.

Jrabbit made a sarcastic comment, made it clear that he was being sarcastic (could have used a sarcasm tag, but hey, who am I to judge?) and Lugsoul's response was to accuse him of advocating perjury. He seems obsessed with the idea that we are advocating perjury every time we point out the flimsy nature of Michael Schiavo's "She said while we were watching a movie" evidence.
One could lie about the hearsay one heard which would consitute perjury, wouldn't it?
