Ignorance? I'm certain Jjensen12 you couldn't tangle with me intellectualy. You don't have a clue about anything. You're nothing but a mud-slinger, because you don't know anything. - Reply to this comment
- klicna, since you're on, I'm going re-post my reply to you from earlier. both are your quotes, sarcastically aimed at me:
"Life is sacred, but it's ok to kill people who kill"
"Since your life was threatened by a murderous attacker, it's great with you if he is killed now"
By now all can see where you stand. You're OK with defending the life of the guilty, but you're not OK with defending the life of the innocent. People that live under brutal dictators, and human life that hasn't been born yet.
Both have one thing in common: They can't speak for themselves. It's just their bad luck, right klinca? too bad for them.
I didn't claim anything about myself wanting my attacker to be killed. However, because I care about others, I don't want others to be harmed by this murderous thug, and I don't want hard earned tax dollars spent to keep him alive. How evil of me. - Reply to this comment
- I apologize for the double posting. The message I got when I tried to post the first one was that it didn't take -- and I went back and realized I may have had thgdriver's position on stem cells wrong and rewrote my comment. Now both comments are there. Heck. Computers. Sorry.

And you took 14 hours to get that out? Gee, maybe we're not talking on the phone.
I didn't claim to be perfect, and I didn't say you were stupid. I replied to somebody who put me down. Res ispa, stupider is a word.
Can we get past that? I respect your hard work and applaud you for supporting your family. I've been typing for a living since I was 18. It helped me pay my way through college and I'm not ashamed of it. My original point was that I was remembering a comment made by Andy Rooney that he thought America was dumbing down, or words to that effect--words I tried to find but couldn't. I paraphrased. We've been trading education for military bloat, and THAT'S a shame. The meanness in the divisiveness of this issue is also a shame. It would be better if we could reason together. - Reply to this comment

I didn't claim to be perfect. I replied to somebody who put me down. Res ispa, stupider is a word. As is holier. As in, apparently you do feel you are holier than thou when it comes to parents making personal decisions about their own blastocysts. I say who am I to tell these parents what to do with their own blastocysts. It's their business. If it's my blastocyst, I think I'd be pro life as much as possible--but I don't have any blastocysts. If it's their blastocyst, I'm pro choice--theirs. - Reply to this comment
- Rush Limbaugh, you honored your first name rushing to tongue-blasting Mr. Fox. Honestly, Mr. Limbaugh, have you kept drinking and getting those pills? You, know, you have no standing.

- Athough I do not suffer from Parkinson's, I had a small "taste" of what Mr. Fox goes through every day of his life. Back in September, I had to go to the Psychaitric Emergency Room at the local public hospital. Two weeks before I had been prescribed some medicine that was supposed to help with my depression. Instead it caused a potential life-ending condition called Akathisia. Literally, akathisia means "not able to sit". This was happening to me--in a public place--with my eight-year old son watching (along with whoever was looking at me outside the public library downtown.) It also gave me a sense of impending doom--the likes of which I had never experienced before.
After the ambulance got me to the hospital, and my best friend came to get my child, I talked with a very informative doctor in the psychatric department who diagnosed me with the condition. (The reason I said that it is potentially life-ending is that without treatment, the sufferers of this disorder are driven to suicide.) I was given a pill to counteract the effects. Thank goodness the medicine did work. I still have to take the medicine daily to ward off any more "attacks" of this debiliting condition.
My heart goes out to him and others who suffer as he does--along with the family and friends who suffer along with them. - Reply to this comment
- This issue is not about STEM-CELL RESEARCH! What part of that don't you understand? This is about Michael J. Fox wrongly accusing Senator Talent, on TV, in Missouri, of not caring about people with degenerative diseases. Let's look at this the other way: How would you like it if Michael J. Fox went on TV and said YOU didn't care about those suffering this disease, and then advocating you should be FIRED FROM YOUR JOB and replaced with a friend of his, hmmmmm? You'd have to leave town and hope no one outside your town saw the Ad so they'd give you a similar job somewhere else.
