Could you share with the class what his position is since we're not psychic?

I did. FWIW, I find your preface, "could you share with the class," in a bad light too.

Why? That was meant in friendly fashion.

But it is frustrating when someone posts "Did you hear that?" types of comments and one is left to surmise or hope for elucidation later.

He steadfastly refuses to entertain the possibility that the nurse is telling the truth with regards to the husbands treatment of Terri.

That is because that woman has credibility problems. She was on Fox today telling about insulin and embellished what she stated in her affidavit.

Much discussion on the documentation and her credibility on today's Rush Limbaugh thread.

Because, even though you meant it in a friendly fashion, the room we are talking in is like a party of barely acquainted people, and a "Would you please tell the class" preface comes off as from a superior (e.g., teacher), or as condescending. Nothwithstanding your intent, that's how it comes off. That's why.

But it is frustrating when someone posts "Did you hear that?" types of comments and one is left to surmise or hope for elucidation later.

But not much later, in this thread. It's frustrating too, as you know, to answer the same question multiple times, when the answer appears only a couple frames down the page.

I think we both have valid points.

It is helpful to be as informative as possible, and it is also important to take care with phrasing.

I certainly did not say the phrase "the class" from the pov of a teacher but as a member of said "class". I only clarify that to underscore the intent was friendly and in no way condescending.

If I posted my true opinions of Michael Schiavo then jimrob would ban my account, ban anyone from my domain and for that matter anyone from my county.

It would violate his prohibitions against profanity ( paragraphs of it ) include calls for violence ( in exquisite technicolor detail ) and may violate a few other parts of my user agreement.

I got a bad vibe on his razor-cut for his big night on Larry King.

Class. Some people have it, and some people...

Supposedly there is a $300,000 life insurance policy as well as whatever is left in the acct. for her care. Its sad. No amount of money in the world could make this a better situation. I feel for her as well as her family.

When she had a guardian ad litem, couldn't he have filed for divorce? And why didn't he investigate all her fractures especially her skull and neck fractures?

There is so much about Terri's case that makes no sense what so ever. They bring in a comatose patient and they don't do a head CT but 2 years later there is a CT with an occipital skull fracture? I'm having a really hard time piecing this stuff together

Hopefully her body will be saved from cremation and someone, unbiased, really has to review all her medical records. I for one think that most, if not all, of her fractures occurred after she was hospitalized and they weren't caused by health care workers. I'm suspicious of Mikey's locked door visits

Guardians ad litem are appointed to deal with specific narrow issues. Basically to challenge anything controversial a guardian tries to do.

And why didn't he investigate all her fractures especially her skull and neck fractures?

Not really his job, and besides, he was fired.

Michael won't let any anti-Michael evidence escape if he can help it.

We'll see what happens. At this point, I don't know whether Terri will be saved this time around, but I suspect if she dies the forces of evil will soon wish she hadn't.

He probably inspired this flame:

You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I'll bet you couldn't pour p!ss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you.

You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.

You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood.

May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you.

You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?

You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool.

You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.

You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.

After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything.

Your attempt at constructing a creative post was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

My household has decided tonight that the next lawmaker/judge/etc who gets old and needs care is going to get Schiavo as a guardian. Or, lacking that, we're going to give the lawmaker/judge/etc the Terri treatment and lock him in a room without tv, food or water.

See how that plays in D.C.

I think Howie knows he's wrong on this.. The calls have been 8 to 1 in favor of life for Terry..

See how Bush won the election here: (it's 11mb -let it load) http://www.hiway2zen.com/goodbadhi.html
