If you think that he left because you won the intellectual debate, I think you sadly misjudge the situation. It wasn't about that at all.

I think his point is that you've out-insulted him without much of an intellectual argument that finally drove him to leave.

I'm not his lawyer. That's just how I read it.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

See? Ya had to go and start something, didn't ya? lol

[PhiKapMom]

Sounds like my experience on here! Unreal is all I can say.

LOL

[St. Johann Tetzel]

Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, described Terri Schiavo's death as a homicide, in face of which one cannot be indifferent without becoming an accomplice."

What a lunatic fringer. Can we drive him out of the Vatican next?

[MrDem]

I've lurked here for a long, long time and I'm glad that all of the moderates who really belong on RinoRepublic or ORileillyRepublic are running like scalded dogs.

Good riddance!

=== Guess what.....in a month, nobody will even remember this episode.


Gosh ... I sure hope so.

I'd hate to be branded an "extremist" ever after just because I thought a drink of water was in order as the State lawfully starved an alert and responsive disabled woman to death.

Here's hoping everyone forgets the whole thing post haste. After all, we need to stay united and focused as we bring the rest of the world up to our standards.

DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE HUSBANDS IN THIS WORLD WHO MAKE THEIR WIVES WEAR BURKAS?!?!?!?!

[justkillingtime]

HAHAHA!!!........I agree,its the internet people....cmon..get a life will ya

[Hildy]

Also, I doubt there are other conservative forums with as many posters as FR.

Well, not yet.

[DCPatriot]

Don't you mean I can kiss your reasonable, logical, sane, witness-protected arse?

Yeah...you can kiss that one too! ;^)

Checking back, I found the thread you are talking about. The abuse report page was absolutely clean, that is no one filed any complaint about the thread. If you believed they defend a racist ideology, why didn't you complain at the time instead of taking a cheap shot on your way out?

Oh, that's sweet! Another round of applase for the AM!

The next post down (by someone else) clarifies unequivocally:

To: freespirited; Jim Robinson; Dolphy; All
Starving a living, breathing creature, to death, is cruel and inhumane. There are *no* BUTS or overriding factors about it.

Take away guardianship.
Take away stated or otherwise wishes.
Take away brain condition.
Take away doctors' evaluations and labels.
Take away hospital/hospice care received.
Take away family dynamics.
Take away politics.
Take away law, lawyering, and judges' rulings.
Take away any and all debate.

An innocent, defenseless, living, breathing human being is purposefully being starved to death. They are not pulling any true life support *plug.*

Any member of a decent society rightly considers death by starvation to be cruel and inhumane. There is simply no way around that very base, simple, naked statement.

[patton]

get over yourself, bubba.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

and they might hold their breath until they get it.

I hope they have living wills.

[Coop]

And some applause while we're at it. [blushing]

[thoughtomator]

They did, in fact, form cliques before they got expelled, and these clique members were either ejected, or self-ejected, en masse.

[NeoCaveman]

and they might hold their breath until they get it.
I hope they have living wills.

I hope those DNR's are signed and notarized.

[Tribune7]

I pretty much abstained from posting on those threads, or at least tried.

I stopped too.

[k2blader]

"Scholarly discourse"? Hm, only place I've seen that is on the "Religion" forum, and most of the time I don't understand what at least half of those good folks are talking about!

[lilmsdangrus]

thank you.
