And it is affecting the economy as well.
The baby boomers were the biggest generation in history and with birth control and abortion they artificially altered their normal reproduction rates.
When a society experiences a dramatic drop in population, there are ALWAYS consequences about a generation in the future. The Social Security and Medicare ponzi schemes were predicated on the assumption of normal population growth, instead we had abnormally high growth with the baby boomers followed by abnormally low growth when the boomers decided to kill their children.
Well said....Liberals either don’t have a clue or they have stumbled on a long sought policy which would destroy the USA. It is happening.
Nah.
Your red herrings are stink to high heaven, but we don't need to let them distract us from the main point. Mr. Lane's character is irrelevant to whether all people are capable of walking up stairs (as an analogy to your claim that everyone is able to commit suicide unassisted).
You accused me, among other things, of being a leftist state-control-loving mind degeneratively ill shouting person.
I certainly did not.
But I will now accuse you of making false claims against me.
And as for being of leftist slant, it seems to me that you're the one who wants to pay to have the State to step in and arrest people who would assist people who desire help. You seem to want to spend taxpayer money to block people from getting medications they want. You seem to want to spend taxpayer money to control peoples' lives. That's rather leftist.
How amusing, considering the fact that you linked to and sited an EDITORIAL from THE NEW YORK TIMES. Here are some gems from the editorial:
Who said that I advocated the ideas in the editorial? I was just trying to help you, since you seemed unable to conduct a simple search to inform yourself about something so important to the American republic (a major SCOTUS decision with far-reaching implications for states' rights). It was a freebie...if you want more, you'll have to pay my research consulting rate.
If Mr. Lane can crawl up the stairs to the courthouse, he has the ability to commit suicide
Wow...you really have to get out more. There are many different forms of disability.
I suggest you include in your studies the concept of analogies.
Now, whos absolutely lacking in cognitive connection?
You.
Whew, you forget quickly.
Title of the thread, as well as the story:
Chuck Colson: The March of Death - A Culture Commits Suicide
If you take two laxatives, this should clear your head cold. Perhaps it will alleviate your free associating tendencies as well.
Yes, that is what I meant. The West is killing itself by not breeding. Greedy little West about to be overun by peoples who realize a few existential basics. Take one last vacation picture of your perfect micro family on the Spanish Steps before they become Allah's steps. Stupid greedy West and its idea of fewer better people.
I suspect God will sign the West into bondage for who knows how long, just like He did to Israel now and again.
Sorry the topic is beyond your comprehension. I’ll try to type more slowly next time.
Oprah’s Book Club is missing a wanna be, sophomoric, melodramatic “writer”. Your front row seat is still available.
“I suppose your ghoulish laughter echoes off walls coated with gore from those who had to use a .357 when they couldn’t get Seconal...or your haunting mockery carries down hallways, as twisted, cyanide-choked bodies are carried out when more humane methods are blocked.”
It is no wonder you’re so bitter. If I wrote, no, excuse me; if I scribbled such “prose” as you I would be just as depressed. The frigid, dark, and dingy corridors of your hollow mind “echoes” with desperation. And yes, this is “mockery”; mockery of you using a thread about suicide to take the opportunity to introduce another issue. As per usual, you can’t really address my posts point by point, really, so you have to use that excuse of an “analogy”. Ah, yes. The “analogy”. After all, we are talking about “disabilities”. Rather than link to the entire editorial, why didn’t you just quote sections of it concerning Mr. Lane if you didn’t want to appear to condone the views of the writer? It is common knowledge that if you quote someone, and you don’t outright refute the quote, then you support it, whether it be a word, sentence, or an article.
Thread topic: culture of suicide and disposable life.
