Post #518:

EternalVigilance::I've said it many times, but I'll say it again: 'Quality of life' is nothing but another name for the slippery slope into barbarism."

Ohioan:

"You have that backwards. In barbaric times, no one cared about the quality of anyone else's life. It was all self-centered. It is only with the increase in enlightenment and the growth of philosophy that we begin to look more closely, and develop more complexity in our values."

Ohioan, ET said that this would cause us to go down the slippery slope into barbarism, you accused him of having it backwards, then you go on to justify and prove what he said. That "In barbaric times, no one cared about the quality of anyone else's life. It was all self-centered."

That's what he is warning about! We don't want to go into barbarism where no one cared about the quality of anyone else's life. That's why we are against what happened to Terri. That path is the path back into barbarism. We don't want it!

You are a very very confused person.
