Terri Schiavo’s Blog

I originally wasn’t going to blog this because it’s in very bad taste, but given the last entry Brock put up I figure we’ve already crossed that line just a tad so I may as well. Someone out there has taken it upon themselves to create Terri Schiavo’s Blog.

I have to admit that when I first saw it I couldn’t help but giggle a little, but then dark humor has been a means of dealing with painful situations in my family for years so I’m not surprised that it made me giggle. My own grandmother cracked jokes about whether or not my grandfather had pants on as he was laying in state at the funeral.

If you just look at the main page it’s probably not too horrible of a joke, but once you get into the comments left by some of the visitors it quickly goes down hill. A classic example of a if-you-thought-it-couldn’t-get-worse situation. Take that as a fair warning if you decide to check it out especially if you’re one of those types who thinks there are some topics people shouldn’t make fun of. Some of the comments are downright mean-spirited. In a way, though, I can see it as type of backlash against the media circus that has been thrown up around this issue. I’m sure there are some psychologists out there that could have a field day with it.

Anyway, blame Ted if you get upset about it. I found the link through him. wink

I seem to have missed a lot of fun in the last couple of months.

Is this the same Lisa4Catholics as on Catholic Answers?

Les,

I’ve invited her to lay out her argument with links to source material if she chooses to do so as I’m willing to consider what she has to say.

I’m not pointing fingers at anybody in particular, but in my experience, an attempt to have a conversation with the people siding with Terri’s parents is as fruitful as a that with a creationist. 

The only person whose opinion mattered was Terri Schiavo herself and both sides had more than their day in court. Human nature being what it is, though, there are those that will neither educate themselves using the most comprehensive and authoritative record - the trial records.

Elwed, it’s true that I doubt very much my opinion will be swayed as it’s based mainly on the rule of law and my sense of libertarianism, but I was in a pissy mood and I was a bit rough so I wanted to try and correct that.

zilch, is the kelp optional?

Les, my point is that again, there are two camps that are firmly entrenched. One in reality and pragmatism, the other in cognitive dissonance and lofty moral heights, from which they wish to inflict their own preferences on everybody else.

What ticks me off is that the Dear Terri camp is very selective in what they accept as fact. I get the impression anything that supports their view is accepted as gospel, while anything else is shrugged off as unsubstantiated rumors. Par for the course, I guess.

Sadly, this case should never have received the notoriety it did. One reason, by the way, why I finally stopped visiting Catholic forums were all these Sincere Believers hell-bent on having the Bushes send the National Guard to rescue Terri. Now, if they had brought the army back from Iraq for that end, fine…

For all you idiots that say it is ok to starve someone to death, SHAME ON YOU!

It is time that all you NEPTUNE SOCIETY Dr. Kavorkians try starving yourselves. Once you’ve gone ten or twelve days without nourishment, don’t ask anyone for food. The world would be better without any of you extremists!

Starve yourself, goodbye!!!

Wow, what a dumbass. Tell ya what, Seth, if I’m ever in a situation like Terri’s where a good chunk of my brain is gone along with anything even remotely resembling my sentience then you can bet your sweet ass I’ll be looking forward to starving to death. OK?

Hmmm.  Sounds like at some point SethWind’s own brain was a bit starved for oxygen.

SpitInTheWind, the Neptune Society provides cremation services.  I’m guessing you meant the HEMLOCK Society (which has changed its name to Compassion & Choices).

God damn, people are stupid!

For all you idiots:

You people are the dumb asses!!!!!!!!!!
Especially you,"Ulfuker"!

No,Condi, my brain isn’t lacking any oxygen. You are probably a crack whore!

Les, the world would be better without morons like you. Kill yourself now!

Eidelweiss, thanx for your imaginative comment.

Another classy comment from the peanut gallery.

Where do you dumb fuckers come from, anyway? I’m suprised you have the ability to turn on your computer, you anal retentive moron.

No,Condi, my brain isn’t lacking any oxygen.

Of course not. That would mean that you actually have a brain and you’ve clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.

Les, the world would be better without morons like you. Kill yourself now!

I can only assume, with that display of good will toward your fellow man, that you are a Christian......

Who the hell is “Condi?” Learn how to read, you stupid fucker. 

Calling someone you have never met a crack whore is not the sign of a highly (or even normally) functioning reason or intellect.  I stand by my original comment - and everything you have posted here only reinforces the “brain starved for oxygen” theory.

You are way out of your league on this site and I suggest you go piss in somebody else’s sandbox.
