I dont care what you say- this is hilarious. Most importantly, read the comments.
that’s not all that amusing.
[b]I[/b] don’t think so, anyway…
thats just not right ok really grow up common thats just so wrong 
it makes me mad
I found that funny. Actually, im still laughing.
I hope you brun in hell with schiavo! i hope you know im kidding
My friends and i had a party when she died… yes we are mean, insensitive people
It’s good she died; she was a vegetable wasting medical money. Period.
Hummm no matter what side you stood on her situation (I was siding with her husband, but I didnt knwo her so my opinion shouldnt matter at all…) I dont think thats right. Thats just poking fun at a very sad situation. Can you imagine if one of her family members happen to come across that?
Tyler, language is a very powerful thing.
Terri Schiavo was not a vegetable. She was a human being. To seriously discuss this matter we must be mindful of this fact.
And the issue at hand was not whether or not she was wasting money or what value her life had. The issue was whether her husband, respecting what he said he knew to be her wishes and which the courts recognized, had the right to make the medical decision to cease her feeding and thus end her life.
Had it been the case that Terri was unmarried and her parents had her medical proxy, they would have been perfectly entitled to continue her care regardless of the cost.
If it is to be said that it is good that she died, then it must be said so on the basis that her wishes were carried out, not whether or not the state saved some money. One could argue from the position you seem to be taking that appeals in a capital case that is cut and dry and where guilt is not in question should not be allowed since the imposition of the penalty is inevitable and the appeals process just wastes money. I for one would not want to take that position.
I’m just glad the pope died very soon after she did, instead of maybe a month later. Because then it would have been a month of Terri and a month of Pope. i don’t plan on watching the news for a while.
My CHEMISTRY teacher gave us a 1 hour lecture about the pope and the process to elect a new one…
God damn(pun intended)
I am going to say that this is not a cool thread
If I am ever in a state any bit like Terri’s was, I giveyou all my permission to rip out all my tubes and curbstomp me. I’d rather die than be an annoying bedridden newshog.
that page strikes me as doing more to satirize blog culture and the innanity of 90% of it than it pokes fun at the Terri Schiavo situation
and while the original situation is tragic and complicated enough, the politico/media sideshows that blew up around it are just sad and scary
my comments (on the compassion thread) ref political expediency refers
Catboy, just make sure u get a living will
now
that must have been interesting…learning all about how hard it must be to find a male virgin willing to be the head CEO of the largest money making corp. in the world. willing to ignore the law, hiding evidence of rape and sodomy and encourage the poorest countries in the world to keep reproducing.
blogspot doesn’t page their comments so I couldn’t read them. I don’t have enough memory!
too bad. they were the best thing.
What suprised me about the whole schaivo thing was that the liberals wanted him to pull the plug when normally the gerneral feeling is “lets feed hobos and welfare trash.” At the same , Conservatives wanted her to live when they are normally against “playing god” which to me, “playing god” would be keeping her on life support. weird…
Here’s one man’s approach to a living will…
By ROBERT FRIEDMAN, Perspective Editor
Published March 27, 2005
Like many of you, I have been compelled by recent events to prepare a
more detailed advance directive dealing with end-of-life issues. Here’s
what mine says:
-
In the event I lapse into a persistent vegetative state, I want medical
authorities to resort to extraordinary means to prolong my hellish
semiexistence. Fifteen years wouldn’t be long enough for me. -
I want my wife and my parents to compound their misery by engaging in
a bitter and protracted feud that depletes their emotions and their
bank accounts. -
I want my wife to ruin the rest of her life by maintaining an
interminable vigil at my bedside. I’d be really jealous if she waited
less than a decade to start dating again or otherwise rebuilding a
semblance of a normal life. -
I want my case to be turned into a circus by losers and crackpots
from around the country who hope to bring meaning to their empty lives
by investing the same transient emotion in me that they once reserved
for Laci Peterson, Chandra Levy and that little girl who got stuck in a
well. -
I want those crackpots to spread vicious lies about my wife.
-
I want to be placed in a hospice where protesters can gather to bring
further grief and disruption to the lives of dozens of dying patients
and families whose stories are sadder than my own. -
I want the people who attach themselves to my case because of their
deep devotion to the sanctity of life to make death threats against any
judges, elected officials or health care professionals who disagree
with them. -
I want the medical geniuses and philosopher kings who populate the
Florida Legislature to ignore me for more than a decade and then turn
my case into a forum for weeks of politically calculated bloviation. -
I want total strangers - oily politicians, maudlin news anchors, ersatz
friars and all other hangers-on - to start calling me “Bobby,” as if they
had known me since childhood. -
I’m not insisting on this as part of my directive, but it would be
nice if Congress passed a “Bobby’s Law” that applied only to me and
ignored the medical needs of tens of millions of other Americans
without adequate health coverage. -
Even if the “Bobby’s Law” idea doesn’t work out, I want Congress -
especially all those self-described conservatives who claim to believe
in “less government and more freedom” - to trample on the decisions of
doctors, judges and other experts who actually know something about my
case. And I want members of Congress to launch into an extended debate that
gives them another excuse to avoid pesky issues such as national security
and the economy. -
In particular, I want House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to use my case
as an opportunity to divert the country’s attention from the mounting
political and legal troubles stemming from his slimy misbehavior. -
And I want Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist to make a mockery of his
Harvard medical degree by misrepresenting the details of my case in
ways that might give a boost to his 2008 presidential campaign. -
I want Frist and the rest of the world to judge my medical condition
on the basis of a snippet of dated and demeaning videotape that should
have remained private. -
Because I think I would retain my sense of humor even in a persistent
vegetative state, I’d want President Bush - the same guy who publicly
mocked Karla Faye Tucker when signing off on her death warrant as
governor of Texas - to claim he was intervening in my case because it
is always best “to err on the side of life.” -
I want the state Department of Children and Families to step in at
the last moment to take responsibility for my well-being, because
nothing bad could ever happen to anyone under DCF’s care. -
And because Gov. Jeb Bush is the smartest and most righteous human
being on the face of the Earth, I want any and all of the aforementioned
directives to be disregarded if the governor happens to disagree with them. If
he says he knows what’s best for me, I won’t be in any position to argue.
No smileys? You’re serious?!?!? You think liberals or anybody think of the homeless and poor as no different than a woman in a persistent vegetative state? You think that conservatives are against medical life saving and preserving measures?
I was trying to make a point. Yes, it is exaggerated, but i was trying to make a point. Conservatives run away from stem cell reseach like it is rotten fish, but wouldn’t that save lives?
Watch the movie “Johnny Got His Gun”
It will seriously fuck your opinions on this matter up.
Wrong.The reason Conservatives wanted her to live is because they didnt want people to “play God”.THe judge ordering them to kill her is “playing God”.The government should not be able to make decisions about that.Thats like communism or somthing.If terri wanted to die,okay.big deal let her die.But the government shouldnt be able to make her die.He even ordered that no one could see her,or video tape her or anything.
