I never said you did. I simply responded to one person's ascertation (not my own) that people tend to get suspended when they stand against you. I've never seen it, but it's a ridiculous notion. I have found FR's mods to be much more neutral and intelligent than that, but good grief.
I didn't mean to make it personal and apologize for any misunderstanding. It's just that this whole thing is so crazy. So freaking crazy. I absolutely HATE the type of world we're living in now, where people can be starved to death and infants ripped from their mother's womb. At her own request, even worse!
Yes, it's an emotional issue. If someone can look at this issue from EITHER viewpoint and NOT get emotional, I'd be afraid to be alone in the same room with them. But for those of us who put a very high esteem on life, this day is absolutely torturous. And I would hope that those on your side could show a little compassion with regard to that.
Like I said before, if I now a thread is going to raise my blood pressure just from the subject matter, I will either not read it at all, or I will only read the article and not the responses.
This thread is beginning to raise my bp. I quit smoking 5 weeks and 3 days ago...and I'm fasting and in prayer this lunchtime for Terri...so I'm feeling pretty inclined to smoke. I can't do that. I'd be back in the hospital in an hour...so I'll just pray more, have a bagel, and visit the Terri threads on a limited basis.
I hope you have a good night, and are comfortable with your stand on this. If you are, so be it. I am neither your mother nor your conscience. I'm just saying that I couldn't sleep at night if I were in agreement with or a party to starving someone to death.
A very reasoned response. I respect everyone's opinion on FR. Good luck with the smoking thing!
