So GW (Not Jeb, or was Jeb in on it too?) paid off Micheal Schaivo to ask the judge for permission to pull the tubes so that they could fight it in the courts for a coupla weeks so that the news networks would lay off Iraq news coverage...

You know that makes perfect sense, especially when you realize the connection of GW's Scull and Bones Yaleys with the Freemasons, Tri-Lateral Commision and the Bildergerger Group.

Nice one Holden.

But you don't need to manufacture a "crisis" to take advantage of one.

Seems like Bush made a few statements and signed a piece of legislation at 2:30 in the morning.

He did not get a lot of political milage from this one.

I agree that starving to death a human being is a good idea, as long as we are consistant.

Don't feed the poor, the homeless or anyone else that can't take care of or feed  themselves. It's a cruel world.....only the strong shall survive.

We could save a lot of money too. Just let people die unless they can save themselves.

And you would be right. Not much mileage whatsoever.

No.... He didn't manufacture this situation. But unlike, say, the Tsunami situation, it was decided that it was best for all involved that he turn his plane around and miss out on even more vacation time in order to deal with this particular.... whatever it is.

Well, I'll call it an ungodly personal intrusion. Scholars will no doubt have a better name for the type of intrusion it was.

There is a difference between taking advantage of situations, and creating situations.

When was the last time that Homeland Security issued an alert? October? You remember what those are, right? The "Someone might get blown the shreck up" announcements? They were piled on thick. Now suddenly... it's like it never happened. They stopped.

See... That's an example of creating situations to take advantage of. This one here, that's an example of taking advantage of situations that already exist, exist daily, have existed for years and will continue to exist for years.

Certainly you can grasp the difference.

Good eye (if indeed you are right about the bible).

Murder is different than killing.

Ya gotta love how people pick and choose words.

Easily.  I think however that this was pushed by congress, not GW he was as you have pointed out, in Crawford, and had to go back to DC to sign the legislation.

And somehow, he was on 'vacation' but talking to Presidente de México Fox and Prime Minister/Premire Ministre du Canada Martin while all this happened.

She can't feel squat. Her brain has been eaten away. The void that was once filled with brain has been replaced by spinal fluid. Visualize a coconut. There is no brain there.

"Suffering" is almost a subjective term when applied to Schiavo. Tweety and his ilk are suffering more than this woman is remotely capable of.



WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!  If I have to start saying wrong in other languages, I'm going to be very pissed.

Cats can't be owned. You may feed them and let them stay at your house. But you can't own them.

Placing someone like this on a feeding tube takes the matter out of God's hands and places it in the hands of medical science.

In this case, science is standing in the way of God's natural law, which is far more compassionate.

So your modern revisionist versions say "murder"; and not the original text; which is "kill".

Let me get this straight; the second ammendment; a document written by and for men; and ammended by men; is inviolate and not open to interpratation.

The Bible however; the literal word of God; IS open to revision; interpretation and review. Any body can make their own authorative version; and every version is valid.

Is that about it? Or do we first define what "is" is?

Just trying to find out the moral basis for the outrage shown in this thread....; after all; logic isn't getting us far; is it?
