MANIFESTO OF THE WPPFF/WILD TURKEYS/COALITION OF THE SANE

I'm pulling chocks tomorrow. Writing the opus thread now.

I vote nay to that. FR is going through a crazy period, but I think it will settle back to normal in the near future.

[retrokitten]

And you know what? When the MSM and the DUmmies point at us as examples of unhinged right-wing extremist fringe folks, they'll point to posts like those to bolster their arguement. And furthermore, we won't have a damn thing we can say about it. Because they'll be right.

Worth repeating.

[Asphalt]

Thank you. I was going to leave for a few years.

or not

I'm considering doing the same thing.

FR is about my only social outlet anymore, and some of the atrocious behavior of late has really opened my eyes.

It's not a lot of fun to watch people I consider "Friends" rip one another's eyes out.

Does the Freeperthon start tomorrow?

Oh wow. Wonder if someone will suggest we donate to the Rainbow Push?

Oops, they already have...never mind.

[Asphalt]

my thoughts exactly

[Dog Gone]

I think the forum is going to have its temper tantrum, no matter what. It'll probably last until a day or two after Terri's funeral.

The best thing that could happen is some major news event that would change the subject. I'm tired of TerriRepublic.com.

Well, if you go, at least leave a forwarding address so we can hook up elsewhere if it is decided that the rest of us are unwanted here, too.

The more I think about this whole situation I find that there are no heroes in it. Everybody involved is distasteful to some extent. While I agree with MS having the right to make decisions for his wife, he seems a pretty slimy character. While I admire the Schindlers for their devotion, I don't get the feeling all this was done purely for the good of their daughter. For the rest - Jesse Jackson, Randall Terry, Hammesfahr, Greer, the circus outside the hospice, judges, politicians, Tom Delay, et al, they all need to shut up and go home. The only innocent in all this was Terri, who no matter what her wishes were has been poorly served.

Randjuke, thanks for posting that. It sums up my (mixed) feelings on this sad case very well.

[Asphalt]

The word "friend" is all relative.

You have hundreds of other threads you can post on. There is no need for you to post here.

This whole thread of yours is Promotional Spam for Euthanasia!

No it's not. I think you've misunderstood most of us here. I am not pro-euthanisia, I am just against the hysterics, hyperbole, distortions and general ugliness that are running rampant in most other threads.

[Asphalt]

That about sums it up.

Take a hike son. After you get through puberty and have a little experience in the workings of the world, come back and maybe the adults will speak with you.

I'm an adult, and *I* speak to Asphalt and cosider him a FRiend.

Way to turn off a buddding Conservative.

[tiamat]

Well, if you will look at your Ping list, you'll see what I REALLY think of you!

LOL!

[the Deejay]

It was way overdue for someone to put tha likes of them in their place.

I applaud Crier for standing her ground w/those weasels.

Oh stop it, .38sw. Everyone knows that words such as "hysterics", "hyperbole", "distortions", and "general ugliness" are all Death Cult Nazi Satanist Code words...

[tiamat]

Isn't that strange?

I about dropped my teeth when I saw people actually pushing Jesse's organization here.

You were the one that pointed out Eichmann was a Nazi. His political affiliation has little to do with it. The book about his trial is a study in how Evil comes about.

The Fact that I was raising, is that Evil, is not the exclusive province of madmen like Jeffery Dahmer, they are fairly benign in the larger scheme of things.

The greater Evil exists when nameless faceless bureaucrats begin to merely follow the diktats of what they can hide in the letter of the law.

"I was only following orders" was not a sufficient rationale for keeping Eichmann from the gallows.

However, it is not hard to imagine that a refusal to do so would have also lead to his demise, In light of that, how much greater the evil perpetrated here, by men (particularly Greer, and Whittemore) in light of the fact that by doing the right thing they would have suffered no such consequence.

This woman has now departed this life, but in order for that to happen the 2 men in one branch of the government had to thwart the actions of the Chief Executives of both the state of Florida, and the United States, and the duly elected legislatures of both.

They did it willingly, and intentionally, following no conscience, and exercising no morality in their judgement.
