Foot in mouth: Schiavo atty says Terry looking peaceful and beautiful

ElvisL1ves, you mean the Schindlers.

The dying woman probably is a beautiful sight to his client.

Slandering cuntbreather…

I sometimes think, when nobody else is around, that Abbie must be a very talented woman to be able to browse the Web and type with her head up her ass. And then I think, ‘you know, she’d be a lot better served if she put that kind of creativity and energy into getting her head out of the crevasse in the first place.’

That’s the second time you’ve used that phrase in reply to something I’ve written. Get some new material.

Hey, if the insult fits…
and it does.

If only this was the second time you’d posted something worthy of a reply like that.

Although personally, I don’t see why all the hating on cunts. Those are great. Morons, not so much.

Wake me when you plan on making an actual contribution.

Why, so I can sit through more of your bullshit? Pass.

If the situation is truly painless, why the need to tell a ‘white lie’?

…Whoa, now! You don’t want the irony fairy to kick you in the head…

With an iron boot… but that never happens. Skip it.

That’s the cheapest of low shots.

Anybody who doesn’t view everything exactly as you do obviously glories in pure evil. No uncomfortable gray areas, no excruciating tenative answers reached in dark hours of searching, no matter how much dread, grief and humility that comes in those dark hours…

All that pales beside Abbie Carmicheal’s smug conviction that she knows The Answer. Any souls and consciences who find different answers in those dark watches than Abbie Carmichael’s–all hail!–glory in evil! EeeeVill! It’s all so simple now!

I’ve been such an idiot. But I see the light now, thanks to Abbie Carmichael. I’ve really enjoyed the sight of a fellow human being caught in an obscene trap of cirumstance. It’s all become clear now, though. Thanks, Abbie! I’d worried about all that confusing medical stuff, stupidly mulled over pesky life and death things–not that they’d ever relate to me, not with **Abbie Carmichael ** and cohorts in charge!–but now I see the light.

Anybody who doesn’t agree with Abbie Carmichael–all hail!–gloats over misery; they enjoy it and make shameless political capital of it.

Any god worth the name, much less the least impulse of basic human decency, forfend that anyone turn a mere individual’s tragedy into convenient politico/religious Soylent Green.

God help me but that was very funny.

A corpse on a slab does look more peaceful than a corpse with a feeding tube. Medical/aesthetic fact, accept it.

TVeblen, is “cuntbreather” acceptable? I always assumed it was, but I want confirmation. I’ve seen “cunt” as cause for hellfire, I just want to be able to cite someone in charge as saying it’s OK to use in the Pit without the worry of being called a jerk for it. And without worrying about being warned for it. Thanks in advance for an answer. :slight_smile:

Oh yeah, and Abbie? Watch your ass, you’re now marked. I suspect I am as well by defending you. Though I hope the love of the Mods will persevere and save us dirty faith holders from ourselves.

Brutuseven if the situation isn’t truly painless Terry is on a morphine drip. She wouldn’t be feeling any pain even if she had he brain to feel it.

Abby and Duffer, climb down off the fucking cross. You’re not being picked on because of your faith or for standing up for what’s right. You’re rightfully being abused because of your intense and willful ignorance about this case.

Good Grief!
What’s with the snarky comments from you, Abby Charmichael? Do you really believe MS is doing this so he can shack up with his girlfriend? The one he’s been living with for nearly a decade already?
Or is it the money, the money that has already been spent?
Or maybe it’s just an inability to read and understand.
Last but not least, maybe it is just being blinded by that ol’ time religion.

Fucking religious zealots managed to get the federal government to intrude on a woman’s deathbed. Of course that wasn’t hard since the ruling politicians find it expedient to claim they are just as fucking stupid as the rest of you dingbats. It gives them the common touch, makes 'em just like you.

I don’t wish death on anyone but I would love to see how you dealt with a dilemma similar to that of Michael Schiavo’s.

Testy

Oh, back the hell off. I think you know that I agree with you both politically about many things. When I first heard about this case a few years ago, my knee-jerk reaction was the same as yours, “He wants to starve his wife to death? How horrifying!”

But then, you know what? I educated myself about the case. And however you feel about Michael’s “adultery” (although how can it be adultery when one partner is incapable of being a spouse) the bottom line is that the courts have ruled CONSISTENTLY that Terri would not want to be kept alive artificially. Michael is trying to carry out his wife’s wishes.

Take some time to read stuff other than terrisifight.org, then we’ll continue this discussion.

Oh, and one more thing. If Michael is such a horrible wife-beating bastard, how come there have never been any charges brought against him by Jodi, the mother of his children? IIRC, one does not stop being a wife beater.
