I don't see why this is anything to do with America in particular, the same policy is in effect in almost every country in the world to my knowledge. Euthanasia is the exception rather than the rule I beleieve........
Insult your own government.
Plenty of that on here, but can we not 'insult' anyone else?
If you do, you really are gullible.
Read my sig, perhaps its wisdom will teach you something about true civic duty.
Thanks for the insult on my intelligence - however, believe it or not I know a thing or two about the Untied States Constitution. I also know what the country stands for. I can't say I agree with what some people in power are doing right now, but that doesn't mean that I should not be proud of who I am and where I come from. For you to insinuate otherwise is rather offensive.
just one of those glass houses throwing stones things.
Those who from the start have stood against this cabal of liars and accomplices in international criminality have every legitimate right to decry those continuing abuses of power. Sad for you that youre so indoctrinated with rabid nationalism (the very evil for which our own media and populace demanded the indictment of Milosevic) that you refuse to hold our own leaders accountable.
Just because you prefer to play the acquiescent sheeple, don't expect others of good conscience to do the same because it disturbs your mindless flagwaving.
As for offensive, as a fellow American who knows far better than you what our leaders are perpetrating outside our shores (whilst misinforming the domestic majority), I find your blithe retorts toward rightful criticism of their lies and actions to be the true offense here. Your responses are just the same old tired Rove-inspired rubbish that has been regurgitated by the misinformed majority in the US since these criminals first seized power in 2000.
Right now I happen to be employed working for the democratic party. I keep an open mind, I work for a better America.
Would you like to assume anything else about me?
A Democrat who thinks we have no right to criticise Bush........
:wave:
Actually - as I've said eariler - I don't think that this belongs in Congress, but I do think it should be up to the woman's parents to decide. I just think it's funny how people will get off the topic of this woman's life and on the topic of Bush bashing..... especially when Bushy Jr. is Tony Blair. Personally, I'm not a Bush hater, I used to be a republican, when the word "republican" meant something different. I am very much involved in politcs, I chose to work for who I think will do the best job and I don't like to waste my time bashing the other guy. Truth is - the US is in more trouble than ever, and instead of sitting by and watching it happen I'm trying to make a change..... As far as I can say from my own life experience, nothing positive will happen from being negative person. Question - Should I hate my country and be ashamed to be an American because we got 49%? I don't think so - I will do my best to make sure that it doesn't happen again...... in doing so I will remain positive.
Do you understand that many people have a major problem believing Bush has any concern whatsoever about the sanctity of life?
That we see the death tolls mounting up in Iraq, and despite that he's still talking about bombing other nations........
Like they say, "Only in America..."
The judge has decided that Doctors should not resume feeding the woman...
Well, you are the "world's leading terrorist state"...have committed atrocities across the world for decades...ignored international law and invaded/attacked/flattened entire nations...
Cuba, Sudan, Nicargua, Vietnam, Afghanistan...to name but a few.
You must be very proud :yes: .
And as for the topic being discussed - the woman has no quality of life. Having expressed her own desire to die if such a situation occured, there can be little argument...
If everyone's life is valuable & precious then why are you fighting America's corner? Oh wait...I remember...you only seem to read the right wing tabloid press
The US government and their military has been responsible for millions of deaths...never heard of General Suharto??
Actually, if you were following the "real" story, you would know that she never put anything into writing...... the courts are going by her husbands words.
The actions and the choices made by the leaders of the US do not often reflect the wants of the citizens of the country. I would assume you would know this. The US is certainly not the only country to commit atrocities, but I'd say that's for another debate.
Your personal attacks at me are truely unnecessary.
Look, I'm sure the vast majority of people would not want to be have the kind of existence...i know nobody who would choose to live as a vegetable...it's undignified and she has no quality of life. She can't think, feel...nothing.
The Court ruled for her tubes to be removed. The intervention is unneccessary.
You work for the Democratic Party, right? So you're not just a mere citizen whose name has been blackened by your leaders - you're actively supporting a party - a system - which conducts terrorism at will, against international law.
But as you say, for another thread
Who are you to define qulaity of life and who should live and who should die?
The Nazi's in Germany adopted a policy of such killing and the list when on to include gypsies, homosexuals, and political opponents!
To all intents and purposes she's already dead...
IMHO to compare it to what the Nazis did is misleading and emotive
This happens every day all oevr the world.
is heaven not paradise...is it not the ultimate sanctuary...the women has been going through hell for 15 years...a proper logical christain would accept this and i'm sure you'd agree letting her meet her judgement in heaven is a lot, a lot more compassionate than letting her suffer in this state...
