I'm disabled, do DUers want to kill me?
;) Come on folks, let me live. I want to live! :hide:

From reading a FEW posts here, you'd think that every DUer wants to kill every disabled person.

So........do you? :scared: Maybe I should go to FR :puke: THEY want me to live!

On second thought, I'd rather die if I had only FR to look forward to.

1. Yes, You Need To Die

:sarcasm:

What the fuck are you talking about? How about backing up that claim w/ some choice quotes, or should we just take your word for it? I'd be willing to bet you're taking something out of context, but feel free to post something from someone (who's not a disruptor) that backs up your claim.

Or is your joke going right over my head? :shrug:

12. There have been a few posts the last few days....
from what I believe to be "disruptors", that DU wants to put every disabled person to death.
It's just a joke, nothing to be concerned about. Have you forgotten what day this is?
Lighten up Francis! ;)

9. don't think so
I'm hard Left, and I've felt some posts have been perilously close to "useless eaters" jargon.

6. I don't want anyone to die. But if you want to die or do not wish
to prolong life artifically, I am all about supporting your decision to do that as well.

Does your legal spouse think agree with the move? If so, I'd say it is his or her call.

Have you been deaf since birth? I have a cousin who's deaf, she's great. Always goofing on me. She can hear VERY little, had a few operations, but to no avail. She's cool with it.

30. We Have Something In Common, There sniffa
I went blind in my left eye from MS. My right eye is still fine, though. I have peripheral vision in my left eye, but nothing in the center 70% of the field of vision. So, for you left ear. For me, left eye.

For some odd reason, the license restriction says i can't drive a vehicle without two sideview mirrors. Since everything i've driven since 1978 has had two sideview mirrors, it's not really much of a restriction. But, whatever.

33. Don't Think So
It's possible. Not sure if i've paid enough attention. Since i still see fine out of one eye, and the brain adjusts rather a lot to seeing the world through one eye, (excepting close depth perception), it doesn't really result in much disability. So, maybe my brain hasn't found the need to sharpen up anything else.

I've always had a pretty refined sniffer (punny, punny), so maybe that's why i didn't notice. I always smelled the spices in food, for instance, that many others didn't.

14. Buying the fundie hype?
We know that the argument is that there is a slippery slope between letting the brain dead die in accord with their own wishes and making the not brain dead die--

But the fundies didn't scare people enough with that.

Now the argument is, that those who want to let the brain dead die in accord with their wishes REALLY WANT TO KILL YOU ALL. IT'S HERE, HERE THEY COME, LOOK OUT! OH, THE HUMANITY1

Bad logic leading to absolute delusion and lies.

Oh, and by the way: have a long and happy life. I, for one, will be thrilled to keep a feeding tube in your inert, brain dead near-corpse forever, if that's what you want. Let us know.

17. Oh come on, have you really read the posts here?
Or did you just skim and pick the most offensive ones? I wont say that everyone here is polite and supports rights for the disabled but the majority do. Just because most people here do not want the government deciding what to do in the case of this very tragic family drama, does not mean we don't support disabled people.

What I have read here is that the majority of people just wished the media and the government would stay out of this whole thing. It's no one's business and nothing more than a drama of parents against son-in-law over a brain dead girl used for repuke political gain.

27. Yeah................
I've been around here for about 4 years now. I used to be "DumpGump" but I changed it after the last "selection".

This Shiavo thing has got everyone's panties in a knot.

I'm sorry I ever posted this. It was mean as a joke (look at the winks and things in the original post) but everyone has gone psycho with the TS thing.

See 'ya.

20. gosh i hope you are saying this in jest and really dont feel
this from anyone anywhere, let alone on du. i could assume that you are playing, but how sad to let it go if you really feel that.

the really sad thing, we have always fought for disabled. adn look how the right has created you and me. party of death

like i wont allow the republicans to say, because i voted for kerry, i am not a christian, i am not patriotic, i am unamerican. i simply cannot allow the right to say i am a party of death

29. I'm sure RW websites will love posting this: April Fools postings may
be taken seriously by some. Unfortunately, we all get to reap the price for the nonsense when the media picks it up to add to the anti-left sterotyping.

would be for making stupid fucking 'leading question' posts, like these.

But I mean that only in the nicest way. :)

35. I'm disabled and have Medicare and SSDI.
Want to waste me and take me out for my political views-many have tried that since 1969 and I'm still here playing music.
I believe in self-defense most of all.
