I'm sure the
New York Times liberals won't mind if we try it on Death Row inmates. After all the Newspaper Of Record is on record as saying its not a painful and inhumane method of execution. For once I agree with them! Just think how fast it would empty Death Row cells all over the nation.

Our military does an absolutely insanely great job at making sure water and other types of rehydration are available at all times to everyone.
They are encouraging people to get camelbacks which can carry much more water than your average canteens....

It reminds me of the movie I saw once depicting a death row inmate being asked by the warden whether he wanted electrocution or lethal injection. He opted for lethal injection.
"Good choice," said the warden. "It's much less painful."
The inmate replied, "You ever tried it?"

declining food and water is a common way that terminally ill patients end their lives And Terri Schiavo is not terminally ill.

We have been told that male children do not feel pain when they are being circumcisedThen how come they cry???
To: MisterRepublican
If it's so peaceful then why do we have laws that would throw you in jail if you did it to a dog?

We've been told children don't feel pain for just about everything we wanted to do that caused pain, including having teeth pulled. Yes they do.

Apart from any moral or religious convictions, there is another reason to be wary of anyone claiming to do good by killing another. Elias Canetti in
Crowds and Power wrote of this in his chapter entitled "Survivor As a Passion." He pointed out there is a natural human inclination to glory in surviving when others are dying or dead. Canetti makes a subtle, sophisticated argument that this dynamic also plays a part in a despot's behavior in attempting to or actually governing.
Canetti is not easy to understand and I can't do justice to his works. I might add, though, that Crowds and Power was written in 1960 and received the Nobel Prize in 1981. The real claim IMHO to this book was Canetti's discussion of crowds, religion, governments and rule. Still worth reading after all these years.

So easy? Try fasting for a while and experience what it feels like when your body starts getting its protein from your muscles. What wing-nuts!

LOL! This is hilarious. If being starved to death is so great, why aren't more people doing it to themselves to commit suicide?

I have seen pictures of the concentration camps when I was just a kid. Didn't look a day at the races to me. One of the idiots at the Daily Herald wrote Saturday that the ''feeding tube was the only thing keeping her from dying.''
I left a message on his voice mail saying that food was the only thing keeping me from dying too. Terri takes her from small hole in her tummy, I take it by mouth.
I was not polite and I don't care, the only reason I take the newspaper is they have a good handicapper writing for them.

Amen....And I am surprised this route is not already underway. This entire case blows my mind, and the only conclusion I have come to....is it possible there is something in it for the judge?....Just a thought. JK

I suggest we starve the NYT editors. You can bet things would turn around they were the targets of this action.

Why isn't NYT packaged as in the same format as toilet paper? Subscribing might be cheaper than buying Charmin.But not nearly so squeezably soft and comfy.

The damned New York Times turns on a dime. What about all their stories and editorials on African children starving to death?

Dwindling circulation is a common way that terminally ill newspapers end their lives... Laughing
It really isn't all that funny though. I used to occasionally buy a copy of the NYT. I will no longer do that.

They have been this way for decades. Know them by their acts.
