Oh nice, you would hold more credibility if you had better taste in cinema. Showgirls earned more razzies than Dirty Love. Your taste in movies suck, your taste in humor sucks, one can easily assume, you suck so get to it.

Not sure I can get a search up on those things, though.

Oh, that thing. Let me find it…

[Here it is](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=354825&highlight=poutre).

The OP is completely misrepresenting the facts, of course.

I also did a google news search and haven’t found anything stating that the PVS diagnosis was wrong…not that “the State” can make medical diagnoses anyway.

Since you’re too stoooopid to do your on search I did it for you okay. Think of it as a nice way of showing compassion bitch. Even in that thread I showed where all experts said they could not have made that diagnosis that soon, but you ignored that to fight for the sake of fighting.

You know what, I have no beef with you, never have. But this is the fucking pit, I do not have to show a “cite” for fucking anything if I don’t want to. If it interests you enough to argue the other fucking way, you bring cites.

This is a nicely broad bit of self-pity that I’m sure felt good to type, but doesn’t really make a lot of sense. I can’t think of many discussions on homosexuality, race or transgenderism that we haven’t allowed, including some that members of those groups no doubt found just as “baiting” as whatever recent anti-religious remark sent that bug up your ass. We’ve allowed discussions on most everything here, with a few exceptions. Feel free to provide some links to support your assertion that we clamp down on opposing viewpoints on race and sexuality while allowing unchecked abuse of religious groups, though.

On preview, I see we’re off and running on PVS…

Oh, if only we could have a nice 5 page thread about why this is such an asshole thing to do…oh wait.

**Abbie** , I disagree with you about many things, but please take this as meant sincerely and in your best interest: step away from the keyboard. You are not doing yourself any favors by posting while this pissed off. Come back when you’re calmer and have some perspective. In the first place, you can’t make rational arguments when you’re this ticked, and in the second place, no one is going to take you seriously or do much but poke you with a stick til you do.

Wrong. Anywhere on this board, any time you make a claim, it’s expected you back it up. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the Pit. I don’t know who told you otherwise.  
However, I’ll be nice, since you’re obviously too unstable at the moment to do so, a link found at the end of the article does state your point: [DSS Chief: Doctors Said Haleigh Wouldn’t Recover](http://cbs4boston.com/topstories/local_story_082193025.html).

That being said, you’re still being a total fucking nutjob. Calm the fuck down.

If I have the flu, am diagnosed with the flu, but then recover, did I never have it in the first place? Was it wrong for me to be diagnosed with the flu? After all, i’ve recovered from it - i’m no longer in the “having flu” state.

Yeah those fags where named fags off of ancient greek for “Get AIDS and Herpes” I read it once in a book or something. Great answer for any question based on Homosexuality for GQ eh.

How about this one

Yeah niggers means “to lazy to work or take care of there children” in ancient latin I read that in a book.

See how I can get an insult in without much work? Of fucking course it is insulting enough in the pit but hell lets allow similar in GQ.

Well, she did recover, which makes the “persistent” part of “persistent vegitative state” questionable. But I’m wondering exactly how “recovered” she really is. They were saying exactly the same things about Terry Schiavo, as I recall.

Two problems with your example;

Firstly, “nigger” is an expletive on it’s own - christian is not.

Secondly, BrainGlutton is disagreed with in that very thread in [all](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7235740&postcount=3)[of](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7235742&postcount=4) [these](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7236433&postcount=13)[posts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7237334&postcount=20) in that very thread - I don’t see where he got away with christian-bashing.
