No, it's not new, but this is far worse. And it's not a matter of being toughened up, I've developed a pretty thick skin. It's a matter of being sickened over all the death threats, Nazi images, and the like. I've never seen FR like this.
Please don't go. No one else gets it when I talk about molesting cute Mohawk guys at pow-wows.

It was wrong to kill her. No other "facts" matter.

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about on another thread about someone saying they're NEVER going to forgive. HATE HATE HATE...
But the Terri posts aren't going to go away. We don't have the results of the autopsy yet...God help us all.
I honestly wish Jim Rob would call for FINAL THOUGHTS on the main forum, then allow only the Backroom Terri discussions.
It's the only way left to save FR...

However, this still does not adress the "LIFE Uber Alles" mentality.
I'm sure there are some who do not support the death penalty, either, but the calls for the deaths of MS, Greer, etc. do not exactly lend weight to that.
as far as I was concern I saw folks posting for both sides on this thread than all of sudden......this is suppose to be a ONE opinion thread in "Smoky Backroom" that is a new one to me....I think I was civil in my post.... I did not think someone would come running after yelling at me you can't do that or to get my off block!
If the theard bearer was sincere he would have ask me please in future just link you URL
Terri went home to her Heavenly Father and HE is aware of what took place here on earth.....how so many here on earth want to push one of his children off the earth, even to the point of straving her to death!
How many here participate in America in arguing why she should leave this planet!
Well, I am against the death penalty. I haven't even dared to say it openly around here, but since this is the Smokey Backroom, and since mostly really nice people participate here on this thread, I'll dare to come out of the closet :-)
Cheers.
I didn't say I'm leaving, necessarily. But if "Facts" don't matter, then...
A point to consider -- Given the amount of disinformation in this case, I wonder how many FReepers look at this as a euthanasia case.
It would certainly explain the level of support from people who we wouldn't have thought would take that position.
I listen to the conservative talk shows and I'm embarrassed that they're not telling the whole truth. Now I'm mentally questioning their veracity on other issues.
This case will end up hurting the conservatives more than anyone else.
I see. Putting the word "facts" in quotes is pretty telling.
You were civil, but your post was false.
You forgot to post the letter where the Nobel Committee asked the good doctor to stop telling people he was a Nobel nominee.
(Baffled Smiley.)
I saw that thread.
You were right, too.
That guys gonna give himself an ulcer at the least.
That's why i am thinking of leaving. Too much of that.
Oh good! Well... I stopped participating a lot because of the pointless speech going on. Too much hate.
On the contrary, the judges followed the law. The Schindlers were asking them to engage in precisely the sort of judicial activism you claim to decry. If you want to blame someone, blame the Florida legislature for passing bad law.
I certainly won't flame you for being against the death penalty, although I'm not against it. I believe that good people can disagree, and can have civil discussions about the issues.
It is very disturbing to see supposedly good christian folk calling for Michal's Schiavo's children to be tortured, which one poster did I agree...
Did anyone btw read Mark Steyn's take on this in today's Spectator?
Seems it always does...
Come out, come out, where ever you are!
BTW, can somebody explain this "the doctors are killing people to clear the beds for the next patient" talk?
Are they claiming there is a killing machine in this country?
