If, as Scarborough claims, it's up to God when people die,

why have medical care at all? Why not shut down the hospitals?

Oops. Logic.

5. I thought about that earlier

i had the grave misfortune of catching the first 15 minutes or so of his show tonight, and he's going on and on about how no other death of a single person had affected him so personally...I thought "Hmmmm...what about that girl they found dead...you know...IN YOUR FUCKING OFFICE..."

what a pig

3. If so: didn't god want Terri 15 years ago?

She's been kept alive artificially.

6. So true

For people who claim to have all this wonderful peaceful visual of Heaven and being with God they sure are afraid to go there. :shrug: I don't get it either.

9. I heard Jay Wolfson say this tonight, and i think it was on FOX.

Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 10:56 PM by Ilsa

Wolfson, the guardian ad litem, ended an interview with the comment that for a nation that claims to be so religious and with God, they sure are fearful of death.

(Yeah, I stopped on FOX for a minute. It looked like Hannity was going to blow a pupil, he was so ramped up.)

4. I'm sure he's arguing against the removal of the tube

although, going by his logic, since "it's up to God when people die," then surely he understand that without HUMAN INTERVENTION, Terri would have died 15 years ago when her heart stopped beating and deprived her brain of oxygen for 11 minutes (BTW--irreversable brain damage occurs after 4 minutes without O2)

So, uh, Joey baby...you might want to think your myopic "claim"

7. If it's up to God ...

Then why should feeding tubes, dialysis machines or ventilators be used at all? They do nothing more than sustain life artificially after the brain and/or other organs have failed.

Don't you just love to watch RWers get all pissed off when you hit them with logic? :evilgrin:
