  1. QUOTE(Texsox @ Mar 19, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) There are various stages of divorce. Many of them occur while the people are legally married. In decisions between life and death, I choose life. I hate to say this, but it brings up the sticky question of what life is. I believe in the right to life, but I also believe in the right to die with dignity, if that was her wish to do so.
  2. It's a Count Floyd reference. So when we play poker I now fold in 3-D.
  3. Why not offer a 3/2 contract for 50, with some defferred money with an option to be exercised as early as aug 1?
  4. It's not like Schiavo went judgeshopping. This decision was backed up by nearly every court it went up against. Unless there's some vast death cult conspiracy in the Florida judiciary, I'd say that there's little to no political motivation here. However, there may just be some in elected officials who wraps themselves up in the sickbed of a terminally vegetative person. (i.e. Jeb Bush, Senate Health Committee)
  5. I'd trust my parents. Cause I'm not married. And apparently, I'd have to trust my parents anyway, because the chances are, I'd never get the chance to legally have a choice.
  6. Michael Schiavo was appointed guardian to Terri Schiavo in 1990 without objection from her parents. Michael took Terri for experimental treatments later that year and pursued aggressive therapy to correct the situation through 1994. In 1993, the Schindlers (Terri's parents) Michael Schiavo had a falling out over either the course of therapy or money. Schiavo had recently been awarded a little over 1 million dollars due to malpractice lawsuits filed regarding the Schiavo case. The Schindlers try to attempt to have Schiavo removed as guardian, and fail because report after report by court appointed overseers have shown Schiavo's guardianship to be attentive and appropriate. It wasn't until 1998, after it was shared with Mr Schiavo that there is no chance of her leaving her vegetative state, did he petition to remove the feeding tube. It was several years later that the Schindler's alleged any abuse - in 2002. A third guardian overseer was appointed by the courts, this one was both a lawyer, doctor and he also came to the conclusion that her state is terminal and incapable of improvement. The courts, have by and large, sided with Michael Schiavo. Any money that would have been freed up from the negligence lawsuits have long since disappeared. This isn't about money anymore. This is about one person who is brain dead, being allowed to die.
  7. Horse is quite tasty actually, and seems to be a more efficient source of meat than a cow.
  8. But our judicial system has facilities and methods in place to determine whether or not the husband is a Scott Peterson or a Michael Schiavo. In this situation, I believe marriage trumps parentage. I don't think the line is broad and clear and applies to each situation.
  9. Basically it allows a league with teams that have different owners to self-regulate its business practice. It allows collusion between teams.
  10. It is sad to see someone flame out so quickly though.
  11. I get yelled at for saying pop in NJ. Don't they understand that people drink pop and soda is just a mixer?
  12. But this dude is Not Scott Peterson. And, as much as I'm trying to keep money out of the equation, the parents aren't the ones going bankrupt keeping her alive either.
  13. I happened to catch Futurama on Adult Swim last night. Turns out Bea Arthur guest starred in that episode. She yelled about the fundamentals of women's basketball more than making up for the lack of slam dunks. This was not an accident.
  14. I remember this girl in high school. Her mother, who was one of my teachers, had a devastating stroke/brain hemmorhage which left her essentially brain dead. After several months with absolutely no brain activity, they decided to pull the tube. It took her another couple weeks to die. I know it was a heartbreaking decision for them to make and its a decision I'd never wish upon anyone. If a human no longer has any brain capacity whatsoever and no hope for brain capacity to return, is this person still alive in the first place? It seems extreme and brutal to pull a feeding tube, but if the person is incapable of even sensing being fed, is it? I don't know. I lean towards pulling the tube - especially a decade in, but I'm not sure. I definitely think the onus is on the husband to make the choice, not the parents.

  19. I'm bored at work. But thanks to the vending machine, I'm snapping into a Slim Jim!
  20. How awesome would a roof be over center? Pretty freakin awesome. Shea is like the polar opposite of the old Comiskey. Not only is there no wrap around the outfield, but you have no wraparound concourse. The scoreboard, is basically outside the stadium.
  21. QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Mar 16, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) No kidding, not even Freddie Adu has power from both sides... Feh. Can't hold a candle to Bian McBride.
