Is there an arguement for voluntary Euthanasia?
For example, a person dying from Cancer or a person who has become so incapacitated that there life has no meaning.
That is to say that they cannot move, communicate vocally, or otherwise, sustained perpetually on life support.
There is a film starring Richard Dreyfus called "Who's life is it anyway?" Where due an accident he is paralysed from the neck down & has to spend his life in a hospital supported by machines. He argues that he should be able to decide for himself how he wishes to live or die. We put animals down "Humanely" but why do we let people suffer unecessarily so. I think if a person has to spend there whole of their remaining life either in severe pain or not have the ability to make or communicate a decision for themselves, where there life is only sustained because of the decision of others, provided that the person can by any means possible communicate their wishes be given the option to end their lives with dignity.

Like a smoke screen to let people blame someone close to home for a general mess? Why real problems are not addressed? Afraid?

PS yeah im seeing red..red from anger and im sure some of the self proclamed republicans are seeing red too.. from looking into the mirror and seeing their own embarrasment at what your elected officials are doing!

Just curious.
What do the armed service personel think about the freedoms here in the States as they are now, and will they defend us, or the government that pays them when the time comes for our freedoms to be under Government control?
Has this been questioned before?

A while back someone on Yahoo Answers posted a link to a video about the truth behind 9/11 and how George Bush should be held for Treason. It was a speech give by an ex-defense minister for President Carter. I can't recall his name, and I am unable to find the link again. Any help?

Why don't you support the LEGALIZATION of illegals? And delete the border? That way everyone would be legal, what do you say??

Read other questions on here and you will see immature name calling, countless Hitler references, and an amaziing level of anger aimed at anyone with an opinion different than the asker.

I am a liberal. However, I understand that this nation can not move forward nor this world improve by liberal hands alone. Neither can it do so with only conservative hands, or moderate hands at the wheel. No mass of people can move forward with half pushing and half pulling. We will have disagreements, that is human nature. The question is will we again learn to conduct mature discourse in order to resolve those disagreements? For the sake of our nation, and the world we had best do so.

First you will have to pay for their ticket back home. It is your tax money and then they jump back over. Ok. Maybe it is worth it because they will cease to take your job away from you? Has that happened? Why wasn't the employer punished? Maybe LEGAL immigrants take away your job because they are more highly skilled? Will it improve your health care by illegals not flooding ER? You will still pay your quota to the PRIVATE insurance companies, no? Maybe you will get better education because schools are flooded with illegals? How about reversing Affirmative Action then? Please feel free to write long answers.

I don't want to get the record "expunged," because that doesn't actually purge the files. I'm 21 years old and haven't had any problems sense the incident when I was 16. It is a felony and I served probation for 6 months, paid a fine and did community service to resolve it. The specific felony was burglary of a habitat <$500. And yes, it is a felony. I heard about expunging the record and know that it is automatically sealed. I want to know if it is possible to get my juvenile completely purged, so that it would be as if it never happened. I know that in some states there is a law that allows juvenile records to be purged, but I don't see it in Texas. Please help me out, and let me know if you know someone who has been in a similar situation or know of a way to go about getting my records erased. (IE. Who has the authority to do something like this, how to appeal to this person, what my options are, can I erase my FBI record after this, etc. More details is better than less.

I got this last night in the e-mail and i got so pissed at the ACLU. heres the e-mail: What's wrong with this picture?







If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying.

This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the Birthday of the Corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."

When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Marine Corps said (cleaned up a bit), "Screw the ACLU." GOD Bless Our Warriors, Send the ACLU to France.
So way in the hell are the ACLU so DUMB? why cant they get it? and WHY DONT THEY GO TO FRANCE?!!!!!!!!!
