Good. Maybe now the media will find something worthy of attention to cover in depth like, oh I dunno, the 8.7 quake in Indonesia that killed nearly 500 people. Wonder how many people in the country are aware of that as opposed to Shiavo’s condition…
But we shouldn’t care about natural disasters! Clearly a vegetable is more important. A white, American vegetable that is…
So offensive… it’s amazing
“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.”-Joseph StalinTruth
rings through out the quote, as her death was a tragedy. She was still
a functioning human being with a personality and will to live. If you
really believe that a earthquake in Indonesia was more important than
the infringements of rights of Terri Shiavo. You really need to get a
reality check. Wake up our rights are getting ripped out from under us,
we are no longer “freeâ€. It does not just apply towards the Shiavo
case; it has to do what is happening to our government. In a sense of
falling away from unification of our country, a country where one
person can have an IQ that is not normal, or average, and still live. We
set up a country where everyone has the same justice and rights to
living. To hide what has happened to this woman, or ignore what is
going on in our society, it is hypocrisy. But if you really
feel that being a bleeding heart liberal is the way to go, go for it. I
mean totally a natural disaster is SO!!! Much more Important than our
rights being taken away from us, I totally agree.

Being in a vegetative state where your life is more or less controlled by machines is functional? Wow, you learn something new everyday.
And her having a will to live is bullshit. The human body, as with ANY LIVING ORGANISM, has a natural tendency to want to survive. So the fact that she lived after her tub was pulled really means jack shit.

And you need to learn that periods are, in fact, not commas.
Hundreds of people have their homes destroyed, relatives killed, and their lives generally turned upside down. Now, you’re saying that in the grand scheme of things, a person in a vegetative state whose only reason for garnering any attention was because she didn’t have a will drawn out saying “KILL ME NOW” is more worthy of our attention? I’m not the one in need of a reality check here…

I never said hide what was going on. I just didn’t find it especially sensible that the media was spending so much time on her. A story here and there about her would’ve been fine, but covering her like it’s some sort of national event is absolutely ridiculous.

Are you actually retarded, or just illiterate? “Bleeding heart liberal” is probably the term that least accurately describes that post or me. Fuck, I’m saying I could care less if vegetables die and that’s “bleeding heart”? That sort of lunacy takes practice, I bet.
And what rights are you talking about? The right to be kept alive in a vegetative state when nobody sees any hope for recovery? Well I’m not self-centered enough to tell people to waste their money keeping me alive beyond hope, but I suppose it’s your “right” to feel that way.
