Did they review the evidence, or just the rulings? It makes a difference you know. They haven't reviewed the evidence.

In your opinion, the court is wrong. In my opinion, the court is right. I have seen nothing to change my mind.

Not for a long time has that been the correct word. You merely show your hatred and biases.

Weird, 'cause when I look up "bastard" in my dictionary, the first definition (which is the most common and the accepted) is "an illegitimate child."

I'd say take it up with Merriam-Webster.

The evidence is Michael is her next-of-kin. He gets to make the call by Florida law. If you don't like the law, work to change it. don't grasp for straws to make your case.

You're lots nicer than I am. I'm still wondering why Michael Schiavo hasn't been assumed bodily into hell.

I saw it. I'm looking into it. I'm not ready to comment. But it sure didn't go under my radar.

My prayer is not may my will be done in the case of Terri Schiavo, it is May God's will be done.

I ain't very religious, but I really doubt that God wants people to be murdered.
Nevertheless, evil people murder other people every day.

The common lexicon has evolved over the years. I stand by what I said. You are merely showing your hatred and biases.

I agree. There are some people who just have too much time and hatred. As for Michael and his enablers, nothing will change their minds anyway.

Terri's case involves an incredible amount of corruption and is such an extreme example of the system not working that it is not surprising if some people start to look more favorably towards vigilante justice.

So if a young woman - and Terri was quite young when they married - picks the wrong mate (as does happen, you know), that wrong mate gets to make the decisions?

If I had actually married my first fiance, I have no doubt we'd have loads of kids and long rap sheets by now. At 19, I was absolutely no judge of character.

It would really suck if I'd married him and then "collapsed mysteriously" after talking about divorcing him, because then he'd get to make decisions like this one.

But everyone knows how much Michael loves Terri. So much, he's screwing another woman.

Wow! I wonder how long this has been going on? You're number 52 right between *winstar1k; jackibutterfly; Saundra Duffy*. I'm stunned!! Please let me know how long it's been since you've gotten them. I ping several times in a day.

WS and SD, are you also having problems receiving pings to threads?

Did you ever stop to consider that Michael may be right?

It doesn't matter whether or not MS is "right". What matters is the law and the Constitution. I can tell that neither of thos interests you by your refusal to answer a simple question.

I understand your reticence to answer because there is only one answer. Of course he "may" have a "conflict of interest" and by ignoring Florida law, Judge Greer makes a mockery of it. Which, of course, is nothing new for judges.

By "hands of the Lord" do you mean killed? Do you mean murdered?

Enjoy all of your meals while remembering that a woman is lying there being starved of water and food because man chose to play God.

God will take her when God chooses - not when judges and a bigamist wish to put her down.

People also choose every day not to use a feeding tube to maintain life. Feeding tubes get pulled many times a day throughout the world by choice. That is a legal choice that many people make. If you don't like us having that legal choice, then work to change the law.

My "hatred" is your perception. I despise adulterers and their deeds, and while I don't hate the children, not knowing them personally, I detest the fact that adultery got them here.

Stop projecting and your arguments will lead you further.
