Terri did not want 2 die
Those that think that r ill informed
She cried, "I", "I", "I" over & over again as they removed the tube
Not life supportand
The lady cop on duty cried @ hearing this & was replaced
She was able 2 eat jello @ first but that monster husband of hers said no more of that
She sat in the lobby & said hi @ all who entered @ one time until michael caught on 2 that
Only those ignorant of facts side with michael
I believe he suffocated her with a pillow & not choked her as others think
He did it to her & that's why he wouldn't give her back 2 her parents as the world begged
He will pay
He pays now being the most hated man alive in America next to bush who pretended 2 try to save her
He pulled executive power 2 go 2 Iraq but would not save an innocent life that wanted to live
When she died we were sent back into the dark ages
Wake up people
It could be you or a loved 1 next
If it weren't for the video that was snuck out against that evil beings orders many would not have learned the truth

Yes, mofmars3, you can be just like Terri when you grow up. Come to think of it, you're well on the way now.
What you assert is impossible. If I recall correctly, the post mortem revealed that her brain had degenerated to the point that her mind, and thus any conscious will to continue living, must have ceased to exist long before they finally let the body die.
*sigh* I really, really hope that if I ever become a human vegetable one day, no nutjobs like you try to stop my mom from taking me off life support like I told her to. Because when you're brain dead, guess what - you're not there anymore and you're never coming back! Surprise!
The post-mortem revealed the poor woman had little brain matter left. Her movements were pure, instinctual movements, not of pain or pleasure but just base reactions to stimuli. But those are facts, something many funies are allergic to.
"If in the middle of the whole thing, Terri's husband, Michael, had said, 'You know, I think I may have remembeed her wishes wrong--put the tube back in,' do you think any of the 'pull-the-tube-people' would have screamed, 'No! Kill her anyway! Kill Her! KILL HER!' Is that what you think...?"

The Truth (with jokes)
My mom told me that if she ended up like Terri Schiavo, that I had damn well better pull out the tube...or she will come back from the dead and haunt me.
That may sound farfetched, but you don't know my mom...
Old Viking -- not only was Terri eating Jello, but she was propped up and playing the piano.
Sounded like 20th century classical music, from what people tell me. (You know: hitting the keys with the palm of the hand, the fist, the arms, etc.)
You know, even Bill Frist had to back down at the end, when the autopsy results came out (and he'd already screwed himself so badly that his chances of a Presidential run were shot). You know, it's not like a computer where you can pop out a fried mobo or CPU and replace it, and even if you could rebuild her brain, you wouldn't be getting Terri Schiavo, just a person with Terri's body and a decidedly blank brain.
This is what I never got about the religious right. God shut down her body and made it unable to sustain herself. Didn't god will her to die, and machines invented by man reversed that? Exactly. When someone dies that the fundies don't care about, it's God's will. When they lose someone they care about, the cause of death was influenced by Satan.
Is anyone actually still talking about Terri Schiavo? Of course they do. Lest they might have to face real issues, which would be way over their heads.
Because I know I would want to remain alive only barely, and in the most technical sense of the word, trapped in a shell, with people like you making sure I will never die.
Get it through your head. The state she was in was a fate worse than death...what he did was an act of mercy.
You know, as someone who actually saw that video, I can't believe anyone can watch it and see an actual living human. That video scared the living shit out of me. It's the closest I'm ever going to get to seeing a George Romero zombie in real life. No shit. Her eyes were *empty*. Yes, she was moving around, but her fucking eyes were fucking EMPTY. There was no person there to respond, just a meat machine in the throes of stimulus-reaction.
The power of humans to see what they want to see never fails to shock, depress, and amuse me all at once. "Seeing is believing," my ass. It's very clearly the other way around.

The main dif between Tery Schiavo and these brain dead fundies is they are up walking around. She was down for the count.
Considering Jeb Bush was planning on sending State police to remove her by force at any cost, while the local police were under orders to prevent anyone from moving her at any cost.
If Jeb hadn't called it off there would have been a shoot out between our own government.
We were lucky a civil war wasn't started.
Okay, first off, I can't take anyone seriously whose typing skills are on a par with Rosie O'Donnell.
Second, you're making shit up.
What is it with this sms-spelling? @ is actually an A and a D, the old monks who copied out the Bible by hand got tired of writing "ad", and kind of shortened it*. "Ad", by the way, means "to", "in the direction of". Like "Per aspera ad astra" - through the difficulties towards the stars.
If I became brain-dead, I'd want to be allowed to die completely. Just keep me on life-support long enough to harvest the organs that some-one else might need.
Why didn't you pray, mofmars3, when they took her off all the scientific stuff? Surely God would have cured her if you had prayed hard enough. Right?
*That's one of the stories, at least, I think there are more origins to that symbol.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
