Schiavo Judge To Be Honored

Everyone does not have an agenda which involves misusing other people's misfortunes to make social statements! That is nonsense.

You seem to think that having a verbal response to everything makes a point. It doesn't.

My essay, again makes the essential distinctions, whether you like them or not. It will be judged not by what you say, or by what I say about it; but by how well it resonates with the individual readers.

I am going to dinner. But anyone interested can judge for themselves: Terry Schiavo: An End To Rational Analysis?

I had the whole zealot group gang up on me and make all kinds of cutesy little nazi references, I asked them all whether they actually wanted to call me a Nazi over it, you know, cut the crap and say in print what they alluded to.

You guessed it, they all chickend out, of course the majority of their message is just empty hyperbole, surrounded by a shell of phoney-baloney piety. Just like Keyes and Jesse to leap on any situation in a vain attempt to convince America that they aren't as pathetic as everyone thinks! Even if the autopsy comes back stating Terri had nothing left upstairs, the zealots will scream about payoffs, conspiracy, evil, and all that other crap. Predictable as a sunrise.

It's a lie when that person has explicitly said they were against removing the feeding tube.

[Central Scrutiniser]

What I love is that you can't wait for God to do the judgement, instead you want to jump in and do it for him.

God hates that.

They haven't even waited for the autopsy to come out. They've already declared it "fixed".

[EternalVigilance]

It's continuously a wonder to me to see those who quite naturally take personal ownership of it when I point out the obvious parallels between the events of the twenties, thirties and forties in Germany and the agenda of the supporters of euthanasia in America today.

Hit a sore spot, did we?

[Dante3]

Why don't you start another thread dealing with your personal opinions? This part of the discussion has gotten off the topic of the rogue Judge Greer being honored.

I can't imagine "very good and nice people" being on Michael's side. That man (a friend of yours?) is a sociopath, judging from his own words and acts.

[cyncooper]

No you all didn't hit a sore spot. What you have just presented there is tortuous "logic" with a malicious dig.

It nicely established my point.

Thanks.

[Central Scrutiniser]

No.

The essence of any form of fanaticism, is the absence of an ability "to see the forest for the trees." The fanatic believes that his or her enthusiasm, for the slogans being ranted, is a substitute for rational argument. His rant may make the fanatic feel good; to believe that he is doing what he is called upon to do; that all who are not evil will heed his verbal argument. Yet all such tactics can ever do is antagonize those with truer and clearer images of the positive and negative dynamics of human interaction.

The Schiavo protesters hurled names and epithets, with no sense of propriety or restraint. They aspersed the motives of others, perhaps to make themselves feel better, or to vent their frustration. Yet the images, which these self-proclaimed champions of "Life" evoked in the Schiavo case, resonated--and will long resonate--with most skeptics, as the images of a "Living Death"; something out of a horror movie, not a celebration of the sanctity of the life God gave to man. When one considers, further, the realities discussed above with respect to a developing technology amidst an aging population, one recognizes another likely effect from the rant of the protesters. It will evoke fears in many of all ages, of being kept partially alive--whether as a "cash cow" for the "health care" business, or because of someone else's compulsion--while the body is tortured, human dignity destroyed, and accumulated family assets squandered.

"What I love is that you can't wait for God to do the judgement, instead you want to jump in and do it for him. God hates that.", he said judgmentally...

Hah!

I'm no man's judge.

But that doesn't mean I put my reason aside when my government is signing and executing death warrants against uncharged, untried and unconvicted American citizens.

[Freedom Dignity n Honor]

Umm, because it wasn't just a family squabble. It was murder, killing, forced euthanasia. That should never be private or simply a family matter.

What happened to Terri is just as horrendous as abortion.

And from what I saw, I think Terri probably moved about like a new born or a couple of months old baby but I think that she was probably mentally at the 2-4 year old level at least. She just wasn't able to express at that level with words or running around.

She knew what dancing meant and she moved slightly with her arms in the air when the witnesses mentioned dancing.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Wow, you can say that with a straight face!

Sure thing (first name deleted), just keep on being Mr. Holier than thou, the hypocrisy is quite funny to watch.

[EternalVigilance]

Anger medication not working out for you?

Pretty low of you to repeat the antifreeper Clown Posse slanderous lies against me.

Once again, you've lost it.

[Central Scrutiniser]

I apologize, it was bush league, I shouldn't say that, this issue gets me in a furor, and I speak too soon some times.

EV, I apologize, that was low.

To the moderators, I apologize, that wasn't cool, and if you wan't to nail me on it, go ahead.

[EternalVigilance]

Apology accepted.

I'll head out of here and let the fires cool.

True but unfortunately you're not one of them. You're agenda extended to writing an ill informed essay about the Schiavo case.

You seem to think that having a verbal response to everything makes a point. It doesn't.

It does and you're non response to the points I made make an even bigger point. You're an ideologue uninterested in rational discourse.

My essay, again makes the essential distinctions, whether you like them or not. It will be judged not by what you say, or by what I say about it; but by how well it resonates with the individual readers.

Your essay sucks. That is of course, just one man's opinion. But there you have it.

I am going to dinner. But anyone interested can judge for themselves: Terry Schiavo: An End To Rational Analysis?

I've judged you and your essay wanting. Enjoy your dinner.

THOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT

[pc93]
