I would imagine there are several websites that are more open to your specific political thoughts. Surely, the discussions on those sites are more useful to you. That's my kind way of saying how dreadful and cliched you have become. You are jumping on political and cultural bandwagons that most of us don't care about. Fuhrman, for instance, has no influence on my life whatsoever and is nothing more than a pop culture figure associated with a piss poor celebrity court case. Whenever you do post something on these subjects of yours, most users ignore it while a few verhemently argue with you. Do you really crave attention on QZ that much that you keep posting these topics? If you truly want to discuss these issues, then find someplace else more open to you. |

Islam has a horrible reputation, but Christianity has its own brutal history: mobs, the crusades, the inquisition, etc. In its beginnings, the Christian church purposely destroyed writings of other religions. There were over a dozen other sons of God before Jesus, including Augustus Caesar. The church knew this, and it still knows it. All of this stuff is ignored. There's so much history that makes Christianity a complete contradiction to the positive messages it often conveys - and so few people realize it. |

Why make assumptions about Michael Schiavo when you didn't even know the guy in person. I'm not saying he was "good" or "bad", but God only knows. Yet why blame someone for moving on with his life after the person he was married was technically dead. You have the old fashioned mentallity of people in the early 1900s who considered re-marrying after losing their loved ones a sin. Once again, you're making all your accusations based on empty facts.

I know people who have siblings who are in a wheelchair, can't speak, can't talk, can't move. Does that give someone the right to say "their life isn't worth living?" My little brother is autistic and does not/cannot talk. Is his life worth living to you? What about my friend's mother, who was taken off life support by doctors who felt her life wasn't worth living? i suggest you look up how she ended up the way she did as well and hte things leading up to the point of her collapse.What's your point here? She ended up the way she did because she had a lack of oxygen to the brain. Many things could have triggered this, however many people have accepted bulimia as the cause because Terri had lost large amounts of weight AT EARLIER TIMES, much PRIOR to the collapse. |

Also, FYI: <I> In 1920, well before the Nazis rose to power, German judge Karl Binding and psychiatrist Alfred Hoche wrote "The Release of the Destruction of Life Devoid of Value," a 60 page booklet which suggested that some lives were not worth living. Binding and Hoche justified euthanasia of "absolutely worthless human beings." Over time, the ideas presented by Binding and Hoche gained acceptance in German society. That acceptance provided a convenient foundation for the Nazi euthanasia program known as Aktion T-4. Implemented in 1939, the purpose of Aktion T-4 was to eliminate "the worthless lives of seriously ill mental patients." This program began with the euthanasia of children up to the age of three, but was quickly expanded to include physically and mentally handicapped older children and adults. These people, whose lives were considered to be "not worth living," were killed by starvation, lethal injection, and the gas chamber. </I> (Source: The American Thinker) Sound familiar? |

To compare a systematic execution of unfit people in 1930s Germany to the death of one person who was already medically brain dead is grasping at intellectual straws. You pluck out a few facts from history, but you provide no context for them. German society in the early-twentieth century (and especially in the inter-war period) was drastically different than the US today. These facts speak more to racial theory and the influence of Darwinism upon the imperial powers of the late-nineteenth/early-twentieth centuries than they do to modern debate over right-to-die issues in the US. Your debates are missing a critical element. |

You can also turn the argument around and ask how humane was it to keep her alive by artificial means for so long. |

What a waste. So many people would have benefitted if she donated her organs to others so that they could live. |

Discussion with you is pointless. You can never focus on exactly what is presented to you. You always have to put a twist in the language to suit your needs.

Geez, are we still discussing this topic? Even though Sarajane makes up fake facts to support her views, throws empty or exaggerated accusations against those who disagree, and stands by the extreme right wing there's something good I would say about her... She could host her own show at FOX News. |

SaraJane, take the good doctor's advice and RESEARCH your facts before you talk out of your ass. Or is that hole on your face your other ass? |

These people who kept her alive were clearly for years preventing God's will, which was to take this poor person to heaven with him and for that they shall burn in the FIRES OF HELL! Amen. |

Why do you continue to try and talk sense to this child? Her narrow-minded fixed opinions will not change, and she is really not worth trying to engage in any kind of intelligent debate with. |

Rip Van Winkle wrote: A feeding tube and an I-V are arificial means.No they are NOT. It is not like she was on a respirator or a venilator, where taking her off it would immediately or nearly immediately result in her death. Get it through your head: By denying food and water, they STARVED and dehydrated this woman. They took her life. If she had been living by "artifical means", she would have died the first time the feeding tube was ever removed. Oh, and for the people who enjoyed calling me a racist, fun fact: Michael Schiavo refused to let minority nurses treat his wife because he didn't want them to see her naked. Instead, he requested blonde females. Yeah, he was SO devoted to his wife. |

Where did you hear that? If you're going to make sweeping accusations about this man - like you've done through this thread - the least you can do is share your sources with us. One of the first things any university teaches you is to always back up your statements with reliable facts. And stuff posted on random internet sites/Justice for Terri Schaivo message boards don't count. |

But no matter what he writes, conservatives and skeptics alike will still find ways to cut him to shreds. |
