Had to sign the papers for my dad to be taken off life support. Cancer had eaten him up, all he had left was pain. He lived on for a day or two and passed away quietly in his sleep. He had written a directive that he didnt want to be kept alive by artificial means. He felt that man has a warped way of trying to counter act what G-D has ordained. It was hard for me because I didnt want to let go, but realized how selfish it was for me to prolong his suffering.

Word games. Any thing not made specifically illegal is legal by definition.

No congress just passed this law and Obama signed it into law the other day.
Now if the government doesn't want you protesting somewhere you. An be arrested and charged with a felony

You knew it was coming.... and they call us ignorant!

Those that use it are always the first to throw stones

Don't think the article said a thing about race or even implied it.

If I were to talk about selling us out to the bankers, destroying the constitution, inflating our dollar, destroying the economy, forcing individual mandates, unconstitutional wars, wrongful imprisionment of US citizens without due process, even executing them, or just plain deceitfulness and lies.... somehow that would make me a racist?..... who'd of thunk it?

Since when is breaking news on youtube?

Just wondering, which is better; same race or inter racial dating?

Marking them as "acceptable" to your own morals/beliefs is NOT a legitimate reason as to why they should be outlawed/illegal.

Think about it for a second.

When a gay couple marries, does someone else die/suffer from such?
When a "boy" turns into a "girl" does someone else die/suffer?

Granted, these situations may cause "emotional" distress, but at the same time, is this not the "pain" you speak of as well?

So, when a person chooses "death" over "life" does someone else die/suffer? This, again of course, is outside emotionally.

They are all but life style choices that you, as an individual, should have the "right" to choose to partake in, or walk away from; but ultimately, how is it anyone's right to decide or judge another person's choices?

So, yes, I understand you are "against" the idea; but because you are, I am, and perhaps six others on Mingle, there may just be a few who are for it.

Six to two odds, in retro, would mean that our "morals" outweigh theirs making them "lesser".

I mean, isn't this a similar concept in which our nation was actually founded on? Rights, liberties, freedoms.

You have the "right" to "live".
So, why is the idea of having the "right" to "die" so taboo?

I mean, mistake me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think it's illegal (anymore) to "attempt" suicide. Granted, if you survive and aren't brain dead, paralyzed, etc; you are "forced" to receive psychiatric assistance; but it still isn't illegal.

So, ultimately, which is better?

Having people leaping off of random buildings and splattering themselves all over your sidewalk ..or..

..doing it quietly, peacefully, away from the public?

I doubt your kids would be quite as traumatized, imo, since it wouldn't be "broad casted" on the news and in the media.

..and hey, another bonus, cause now you opened up a new job market.

That's like a win-win-win situation. :P

Better than...

i Just curious on everyones opinion :) should heavy set people wear tight clothes or lose? what do you all think?

Well thats what happens when one person who believes that everything was created over 6,000 years ago in 6 days is around a bunch of people who believe it took billions of years and water.He tried to convert the unconvertable.

If you need ID to register to vote then what's the problem with showing ID when you vote?
If one person. Casts an illegal vote that takes away one persons legitimate vote. So until you can prove that there is NO voter fraud ID's should be required to vote.

Yes, but pain can be medicated.
Pain can be overcome.
..but what about when it cannot?
I speak not of broken hearts or broken bones either.



Admirable, however, that is YOUR belief.
Why does everyone always have to force their beliefs on everyone else? (Not aimed at you, in general.)

A guy wants to marry a guy, *shrug* so what, their choice.
A girl wants to marry a horse, *shrug* so what, her choice.
This guy wants to be a girl, again, who cares..

..but suddenly, this guy just doesn't want to "exist" anymore.
Now we have a problem? o.O



If they are not successful, they are branded.
They are forced into the "system".
Endure medications, treatments, and force fed pills.

..are they worse than you or I?
If so, why? Just because they don't hold the same values/morals as you?

God says, "Judge not less ye be judged."
Atheists say, "Don't judge me, it's my choice not to believe."

So, why/where do we draw the line of what you are and are not allowed to believe in? Who are any of us to state what is right and wrong for each and every person?



It wouldn't be "on" them.
It's the patients choice.
Doctors, they can be pretty heartless, since in their profession they have to be.. You never can predict life, let alone death.

..but if you wish to choice your own way out..

Why is that such a sin?
