All the Terri crap.
It was nobody's business
to start with, and now
it's sure as hell not
our business. America
isn't some psycho
commune where people
get to stick their noses in
others private lives!
Yes that is why murder is a private issue between two people.

The most encouraging thing is Mark Furman is investigating the entire case and writing a book. His book on Martha Moxley finally brought her justice after many years. This was a crime that our courts became an accomplice too, this will all come out. I'm convinced of that.
The state rightly intervenes in issues regarding the welfare of children, elderly abuse, spousal abuse, etc. I think Dr. Charles Krauthammer had it right when he stated that when a person has become infirm and unable to make his or her wishes known, a spouse with an obvious conflict of interest should not be the be-all-and-end-all when it comes to pulling the plug.
It ain't private when some jerkoff is trying to kill his wife....wheich is exactly what happened. It ain't private when the courts considered this matter. Perhaps you think what goes on between Michael Jackson and 12 year old boys is a private affair. You are spouting off libertarian style
What if it was your daughter or sister who was the victim of this? would you give it a rest then......
Who you are going to invite to Thanksgiving is a private family matter.
Having an inconvenient wife executed by the state is not.
Terri's parents brought it to the nation's attention. If you feel it isn't any of your business, ignore it.
Just want to tell you something that should please you no end. Even though I would never be considered by anybody a member of the religious right, I did grow up in this country at a time when all children were taught right from wrong based on Judeo-Christian principles. After months of reading posts on Terri threads by persons who believe that it is of no interest to others in this society that you are on your own moral "trip" (unless of course you happen to be CAUGHT breaking some antique law that just happens to not have been repealed yet,) I began to realize that this is a completely different country than the one I grew up in. There is no saving it; we passed the point of "no return" long ago. The war is over before most of us woke up and realized America had been destroyed. Lucky for me, the odds are in my favor that I will not live long enough to see the country disappear without a trace. I pity you.
it's sure as hell not our business. America isn't some psycho

Ah yes it is nobody's business. In fact, let's say if a guy rapes a girl in the privacy of a bathroom, then it's nobody's business either. Let's go further...to a recent headline, If an NYU student bilks many out of millions of dollars in the privacy of their own offices but doesn't want to pay up after the courts tell him to do so, its none of anybody else's business, either. As long as the crime is done in private, which it usually is (most people don't shoot up court houses when they are on trial for rape...another private crime), it's nobody's business.
It'll suddenly become America's business when it's your child's life that isn't deemed valuable enough to save. You think like a child. Go to another site where you can find people who sympathize with you troll.
Excuse me but I think that's the same argument we used to have for abused children, battered spouses, cruelty to animals. If you're a member of the party of Eugenics, excuse me the Democrats, you're right starving a woman to death by starvation and dehydration is just a "privacy thing." Right up there with Partial-Birth Abortion. Hope you get yours.
I don't think you could be more wrong if you tried...
This beautiful young woman was likely put in that condition by her estranged husband and then he was allowed to finish her off by the state court system.
This site was developed to allow discussion of news articles with others, not always of like mindedness. Many of these articles are none of our "personal" business, but will affect someone close to us in the future. I choose to keep involved in this issue because it may eventually affect one of my children or grandchildren.
If you don't care to be involved, then let go of your other arm (the one you twisted to force it to click on the link).
Perhaps you are on the wrong thread, troll!
Nothing is "private" once it hits a courtroom. Then it's a matter of public record. Schiavo sued for millions after Terri collapsed, got it, and then enlisted the courts to make sure she died as soon as possible shortly thereafter. Schiavo crossed over into the public domain, where anyone can grab anything that isn't sealed by a judge.
I don't know you, but I tend to think that you aren't so stupid you would let someone you love dearly die so you could spare strangers the inconvenience of knowing something about your "private life." The Schindlers sacrificed everything to give their daughter a chance to recover -- their money, their lives, their privacy, some would say their dignity. And you, whose life has not been severely affected by their pain, refer to their struggle as "crap."
Then again, maybe you're right. Maybe it was nobody's business what was happening to Terri. Maybe all of us should keep everything to ourselves. In fact, we all can contribute to a society where everyone just minds their own business.
Why don't you set an example for us all, and keep your opinions to yourself?
