A lot of people have had to run gauntlets to get to their workplaces where there are disputes and conflicts and protestors/strikers outside. It happened to me once, for days on end, and I didn't particularly agree with the protestors, but I don't remember being particularly mad at them for causing me this inconvenience and exercising their civil right to protest.
It distressed me more that the other side was so scornful of them.
Yeah, another disgusting handicapped person. Everybody should be perfect in our world.
Another display of irrational thinking - sadly, so emblematic of a significant portion of Freepers today.
I was referring SPECIFICALLY to protesting and disrupting the final days of those who are DYING in the hospice where Terri is located. I also EXPLICITLY stated people have the right to protest all they want, and be as loud as they want AS LONG AS they are NOT disturbing the other 70 patients who DESERVE some peace and quiet during their final days in mortality.
Can you comprehend simple English or must it still need to be spelled out for you?
You want to make noise and protest? Fine, just DON'T BOTHER the other 70 patients who are DYING. They deserve some peace and quiet.
Comprende?
Bye.
"Can you comprehend simple English or must it still need to be spelled out for you?"
I guess I'm just too stupid to comprehend your high minded barbarianisms. Is my life worth living? I'm awaiting the counsel of your wisdom.
I guess so if you can't even conceive of the need for those dying of some peace and quiet.
And it scares the crap out a large part of the population.
The damage being done by these people in the political realm is incalculable.
We have become our own worst enemy.
From the Telegraph:
Bach's familiar strains were soon drowned out by the bellowing of a white-haired pensioner in a Dunkin Donuts T-shirt. Mr Bush, his brother, Jeb, the governor of Florida, the police, the media, the judges and seemingly anyone else the old man could think of were guilty of torture and murder.
"Bastards. They are criminals. They should save her," he shouted, glancing at the low, red brick building where Mrs Schiavo, 41, was beginning her eighth day without food or water.
Then why did you mention it? Maybe you weren't, but I was. In my very humble opinion only, a lisp is a slight handicap complicated by those who suffer from it are sometimes ridiculed.
Bingo!
Well stated.
"behaved EXACTLY like liberals when they don't get their way"
Right on except you left out the part about "court shopping" until a judge who "agrees with us" is found.
An excellant point! I have had experiences with Hospice, some very good. But overall, it is an incredible money making machine...and most of it is tax dollars.....with not very much accountability. One of the tragedies in this whole situation is that some very important issues we need to deal with in this country are NOT being raised.
A whole lot of people---lawyers, medicare, hospices, nursing homes,the Church, the media, politicians---have gained a lot out of this tragic situation...money and free PR for themselves. And then you've got all these last minute characters who want their 15 mins of fame. Where were all these lawyers and nurses in the last 15 years. It's sickening. The major players will all get a book and movie deal out of this. And Randall is Terri's spokesman? Duh!
No, it is not compassion to mob this hospice. It is self-centered to the max.Compassion would be to stand quietly far enough away perhaps with a candle holding vigil to allow other families easy enterance and some peace and respect for them and thier loved ones. No need for TV interviews for those not involved.
