Not yet. At least, none that I could find. :)

Maybe she could play Kenny in one episode?

It was an accident, and she was loony. Still, it makes me sick how many FReepers celebrate and joke about her death. Watch the thread, you'll see.

Look, this girl was activily trying to help terrorists, we're talking about backing and helping people who want to commit murder.

She was no peace activist, her parents words regarding her make it clear that she was pretty hatefull.

So yes, alot of freepers are going to be happy that somone who wanted to help murders and criminals got ran over, though the driver of the bulldozer himself, did feel bad about it, and there are still some questions and different accounts about what happened before he started.

This girl will be missed by hezzbollah and hamas, but not by us.

I heard Arabs developed Algebra but anyone who is bad at math would say that algebra ranks right up there with food poisioning. Hahahaha

I don't know how you might look at this, but most of the arabs worlds greatest accomplishments came before the advent of Islam.

The middle east used to be a traders delight and Mohammad himself was a merchant (though contrare to some missinformation, he was not christian, he belives in sand gods and gins and such before, according to him, he became a muslim, he also invested the term islam and muslim) since islams creation, the stagnation of progress in technology or commerce or just about anything, has been nothing short of incredible and something that should be studied and evaluated.

You must be joking. Either that or you are truly a moron. I feel sorry for the Israeli civilians that little dumb Rachael's friends murdered. Here's advice-don't stand in front of a bulldozer with a stupid sign. She got what she deserved. No loss.

Maybe her family should try the same stunt. I'd put the lawyers out front though.

Here is a thought, during war, kill your enemy. They did. Good riddance to another liberal. At least she won't reproduce more liberals. See, there is good in everything.

Yeah, I wonder why... Looks like she was such a sweet girl...

St. Pancake's canonization two years ago is just proof that no matter how much liberals wish them away, certain laws apply to everybody. Physics among them.

I remember renting the movie Cabaret - what was the title of the song?

Money, money, money... something like that.

[CheneyChick]

I have no compassion for the flag-burning little commie twit. I take that back, I'm sorry she was so stupid.

[AuH2ORepublican]

ROTFLMAO!

If one had the experience of dealing with Radicals every day you might change your mind. I have been called a Zionist butcher thousands of times. The self absorbed arrogant people are ripe for parody.

Bulldozer behind you!!!!!!!!!!!

[PeterFinn]

Rachel Corrie was an ass who didn't realize that the laws of physics apply to her, too.

50kg girls do not stop 20,000kg bulldozers.

She should be a Darwin Award candidate.

Frankly, her family should be prosecuted for gross negligence in raising a moron.

[middie]

U.S. law doesn't apply. The law of Israel does recognize negligence and intentional torts as legitimate legal doctrines but the Act of State and sovereign immunity doctrines create an insurmountable barrier for the young woman's family. Tecnically she was a noncombatant in an area of state v. insurgency hostilities. But her chosen course of conduct, placing herself in the arena of those hostilities, removes any protection to which she otherwise might have been entitled as a mere civilian observer. Thus, under any form of nation/state negligence law or international negligence or intentional tort theory, the family's suit is doomed to failure.

Of course, the government may choose to settle the action, but that would be a political decision totally separate from legal necessity.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

God should sue the Corries for how they treated their little girl when she was a child.

1. I am Jewish and not bound by "turn your cheek".
2. Compassionate conservatism is liberalism with a sideorder of religiousity.
3. Rachel Corrie died defending terrorists. That makes her one in my book. Good riddence to the traitor.
