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

To all these confused people:

1) CONDI, what I was referring to was you are a
pussy Condoleeza. You are a crack whore and
you bush is always fucked up! You must have a
hairball where it shouldn’t be. Is that why
mentioned peeing in a litter box?

2) Ulfuker, you are very messed up! This is a
Schiavo blog, not a spelling bee!

3) Eidelweiss, same to you as #2

4) “Warp"i, I’ll keep on bloggin’ until your aunt
Bessie circumnavigates planet earth. She is

Damn, what an abusive little social retard you are, Seth Wind.

No, this isn’t a Schiavo blog, you clueless dumb fuck. This is my blog where I talk about whatever the fuck I want to talk about and this thread happens to be about Terri Schiavo.

Your lack of literacy is only one symptom of your astounding stupidity. The other is the content of your comments. Try harder, you’re just trolling at the moment.

Les-bo, you piss everyone off!

Good, then I’m doing my job well.

You tell him, Les-bo.  (WTF is “Les-bo” supposed to mean, I wonder?) Well, at least he’s not calling you a crack whore.

Replace the ‘s’ with a ‘z’ and you’ll get it. He’s trying to turn my name into the derogatory shorthand for Lesbian.

“Trying” is the operative word here.  He is so damned unimaginative and stupid that his amusement value is severely curtailed.  Kind of reminds me of that AOL person on the other thread “b4”.  lol

Les, I’m in favor of publishing the IPs and whatever other information you log about these one-trick trolls. Perhaps they offer some sport this way.

CONDI, thank you for your comment! You know you are what I said you are! I bet you live in a trailer park and live off disability. You sound like you must have pms. Wake up and stop being a douche!!!!

LES-BO, tell me again what your job is? Oh, probably nothing. You are a loser! You have too much free time on your hands if you respond all day long to these blogs. Get a job, you lazy dumbfuck!!!! Go screw yourself!!! 

Warpi, you don’t seem to get it! I’m not on this blog to amuse you, nor am I here to flash my knowledge or spelling. This blog is a Schiavo blog. Rebut all you want.

There are only three things you people are correct about: you are stupid, you are evil, and
you are bastards; except for Condi, she’s just a crack whore!

No, you don’t get it.  The fact is that you are mildly amusing whether intentional or not.  If you have no knowledge or ability to speak a language properly, you are wasting the air by speaking.  I think that Les already corrected on your misinformed (uninformed?) view of the blog.  This particular thread deals with Terri Schiavo, but this is not a “Terri Schiavo blog”.  Since all you have done from your first post is spew invective and hurl epithets as well as made banal and inane attempts at ridiculing people’s names, there is nothing substantive which to rebut.  Try actually making a logical point and you might get a “rebuttal”.  But don’t hurt yourself trying. tongue wink

Hate to disappoint you, Bag of Wind, but I live in a lovely house in the most expensive neighborhood in my city, drive a Mercedes and make more in a month than you probably see in a year.  However, I very probably have PMS.

Now crawl into your rusted out Chevette and drive away.

Condi,

You are full of bullshit!
If you make money, how come you have time to blog every hour?

If you actually make money, you are most likely a prostitute. That would explain how you have time to log in between each session! You fuckin’ crack whore!!

It is great that you actually admitted your pms. See, doesn’t it feel better when you admit your problems??

Mercedes, I bet!
You seem to be the type who is fond of chevettes.
You should get some help with your mental disorder, please!!!

I give up, you little freak.  I have time to reply to blog these posts because I’m not low person on the totem pole around here. You’ve got some real problems when you go around calling total strangers prostitutes and crack whores.  I’m a long-time reader and poster to this blog and you have no right to abuse the people here.  It’s one thing to make inane arguments, which we’ve seen plenty of around here, but you are one filthy, fucked-up little person.

Les, please bitch smack this nasty little troll to the hell he slithered from.

At this point if all he’s going to do is troll then I’ll just ban his IP address.

Time to post a reminder about Mike Reed’s Flame Warriors.

boy, I missed all the fun with Seth around...(there should be like internet police for the idiodically cruel)

Anyway, I didn’t get into this debate much as it was happening because basically the whole media hype pissed me off so much.

I would want to live if I were in her situation, & I would probably keep any family member alive who was in the same situation, but it’s a personal choice, not a moral one based on any religious belief.  I don’t think anyone who makes the opposite choice is immoral.

But I think Terri’s husband is a whole different story.  What bothered me most is that NO ONE seemed at all disturbed by his large malpractice settlement on her behalf (that, granted, he did use to pay for her care).  The circumstances of her original collapse are sketchy at best (the autopsy didn’t do much to answer my questions).

If her husband said she really didn’t want to live that way, & “that way” means not functioning or aware of her surroundings, what will it HARM her further to give her parents & sibling some comfort by letting them care for her while he goes on with his life?

I just think the judges allowed their opinion to be swayed by personal feelings that THEY don’t want to live like that & they (being educated judges) know best.  I’m afraid of the legal president it sets more than I care about Terri’s individual case.

(I’m considering bailing out of the teaching ship to pursue law school, so bear with me) I was reading over the opinions in Griswold vs. Conneticut that was instrumental in paving the way for Roe vs. Wade.

Basically, preserving the seperation of powers is vital, & I think it actually played out well in Terri’s scenario, I just wish the wackos had laid off.  In Griswold, Conneticut’s state law was that contraception or education about it, in all forms, even for married couples, was illegal.  Now, that’s a DUMB ASS law.  But I agree with Stewart’s dissenting opinion

I think this is an uncommonly silly law. As a practical matter, the law is obviously unenforceable, except in the oblique context of the present case. As a philosophical matter, I believe the use of contraceptives in the relationship of marriage should be left to personal and private choice, based upon each individual’s moral, ethical, and religious beliefs. As a matter of social policy, I think professional counsel about methods of birth control should be available to all, so that each individual’s choice can be meaningfully made. But we are not asked in this case to say whether we think this law is unwise, or even asinine. We are asked to hold that it violates the United States Constitution. And that I cannot do.

Prohibition was a DUMB ASS law also, but it wasn’t struck down by the supreme court, it was removed by the legislature.  That was the same problem with the Texas sodomy law.  It shouldn’t have been struck down by the court, it should have been removed by the legislature.  If you’ll notice, when popular opinion forces the legislature’s hand, it tends to silence the wackos & doesn’t give them an individual target like a judge.  Right now popular opinon seems to be going against abortion…

I just don’t see freedom as cheap enough to be wasted on things like drinking, contraception, & sexual positions while many people in the world are murdered by dictators for the group they were born into.

At the risk of ranting about judicial activism, I really get uncomfortable with stuff like this.  The problem with euthenasia, is that it’s for the states to vote whether it’s legal, then the supreme court to decide if it violates the constitution.  There were several laws that made Terri’s particular method of death problematic since she was still functioning & hadn’t put in writing what she wanted.  Many people EVERY DAY sign DNRs & fulfill living wills to refuse medical treatment & you don’t see the pro life calvary going crazy.  My own great-grandmother simply stopped taking antibiotics to stop some illness, & she was a Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swagert donator.

Donor, sorry.

Interrestingly, I just read that Denver voted to legalize pot possession.  Good for them!  Too bad it’s only a city ordinance…

About a month ago I saw a person’s car with a bumper sticker that read “Terri was murdered!” While that person certainly is entitled to her opinion, I can’t help but be sadly amused by such self-righteousness. I mean, a whole hell of a lot of good it does Terri now, right?

Interrestingly, I just read that Denver voted to legalize pot possession.  Good for them!  Too bad it’s only a city ordinance…

I know! I oughta move to Denver (it’s a great city).

What sticks in my mind is that the more vocal the let-Terri-live crowd, the less informed and willfully ignorant they were about actual fact.

Worse, the politicians who were so gung ho about keeping her alive (i.e. Rick Santorum, Bill Frist, etc.) normally would oppose spending that kind of money keeping every brain-dead individual alive. It was all about their “pro-life” images; predictably, it had nothing to do with Terri herself.

Denver is a shithole, the entire front range of Colorado has become such.  From Pueblo to Fort Collins now - its a 400 mile long freaking parking lot/interstate with cookie-cutter suburbia stretching the whole way.

Its like Kansas with a view, pretty dead flat and soul-less. You can SEE the mountains from the C.Springs/Denver (at least when the smog isn’t too bad in some areas) . . . but you are actually a long ways from them.

Anyways, nice to hear about the pot laws. But of course federal laws trump local ones. And in the state which has the horror show of Dobson’s Focus on the Family based in it . . . its still a wart on the face of humanity overall.

Too bad, the REAL Colorado (mountains, away from resort towns) - like the San Juan mountain areas - are among the nicest parts of Brand USA, but the the state is controlled by the cesspool on the front range.

Would the fact that the husband was cohabiting and fathering children with another woman have any impact, positive or negative, on the decisions he made on Terri’s behalf?
