Pure nonsense.
We allow invaders to slaughter our wives and children but refuse to fight a war in which we might have to kill in self defense?
Even devout Christian, Sergeant Alvin York, the World War One Tennessee hero, searched his pacifist soul and realized that he had to take life in war to save even MORE life.
Suzanne is so lovely and so correct in her assessment, that
we have lost our way as a nation.
God bless her every effort and that of Terri's family's
foundation to protect life as our nation should have
done for her sister!!
Is there anything more important??
Well okay then. The courts don't believe in the value of life.
The autopsy was the final determining factor in that. But she was breathing on her on and was not on life support. They had every right and justification to fight for her life. What I can't understand is a court system in which in all 50 states considers adultery as grounds for ending a marriage let her husband represent her under those conditions. I didn't buy his story then and I'm not now.
The husband who obviously by his own conduct against his marriage to her had another woman should have been divorced and her parents made guardian.

BTW parents name were Schindler.
all i can say is thank god im not a fetus or an old feeble person yet. seriously, if you are older, you really need to stay in the best condition possible, lest you also face the useless eater theory. hitler is laughing heartily saying, i told you so.
Ya think. Let's see: Add to "mercy" killings, abortion on demand and increasing victimization of our children, and yeah, I'd say America has really strayed on its value of human life.
The vast majority of government-caused deaths take place during peacetime, not during wars. Prof. R. J. Rummel of the University of Hawaii estimates the ratio of those killed by governments in peacetime to those killed in wars at six to one. You can read more at his website:

If the goal is to reduce the number of unnecessary deaths, it looks far more promising to replace authoritarian regimes with democracies than to tilt at the windmill of ending war.
Even OJ didn't murder someone with everyone watching.
Take it over to DU.
If it was up to liberals we would be there already.
What does stfu stand for?
When a statement of this kind is made it is meant to be an indictment of society in "general". I'm sure it doesn't suggest all Americans are cold blooded killers.
WTF!!!
The United States engaged in a world war it didn't have to be involved in. The US gained NOTHING for itself by doing so, but freed millions from starvation, death, and torture by doing so. In summary, the US did it because they valued all human life, even those beyond its borders.
I was playing the devil's advocate. Of course, realistically it makes sense to fight and kill the enemy.
Good point. I also would like to note that religion has NOT caused the most deaths in world history, unless one regards socialism as a religion. 100 million deaths at the hands of socialism madmen.
