Unless you know the whole story you don't cringe at the thought of what really happened.<BR/><BR/>There is so much more to this story that what you know on the news and TV. Things that some can't talk about. It is a terrible way to die. By laying there and suffering. <BR/><BR/>Caleb needs to be denied his job because of this reason alone, If he let his wife die how do I know that in the line of duty he would not let a fellow officer die or a citizen die because of his beliefs? <BR/><BR/>That is a thought we all need to think about in this matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-75985769693703953342007-12-05T19:58:00.000-06:002007-12-05T19:58:00.000-06:00I believe one of your premises is incorrect "As fo...I believe one of your premises is incorrect "As for the father, something tells me his ability to find a suitable mate has been seriously diminished. He has essentially removed himself from the gene pool." <BR/><BR/>What does being a normal, sane, healthy, well-adjusted human being have to do with finding a partner and procreating? I think history has proven that almost everyone can find someone. Need I point out that there are whole bunches of women out there trying to meet guys in prison?A Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430176559501007742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-38560460656929328522007-12-05T19:50:00.000-06:002007-12-05T19:50:00.000-06:00I can see honoring the refusal of life saving medi...I can see honoring the refusal of life saving medical treatment if the person has a terminal illness, the odds of survival are iffy, and the treatments are expensive.<BR/><BR/>I can understand a person not wanting to put their extended family into bankruptcy for the slim chance that the therapy might work.<BR/><BR/>I would be one who would say, fuck it...make me comfortable.<BR/><BR/>But to refuse to allow your wife to get a simple shot for a simple infection because your fucktard idiot brother with delusions of biblical granduer told you that it was God's will whether she lived or died??<BR/><BR/>THAT is criminal negligence. <BR/><BR/>There comes a point when we have to say, "Okay, you can believe whatever you want. Christianity, Christian Science, Scientology, Flying Spaghetti Monster, Jehovah's Witness, Judaism, Islam, Tolkein's Elves, whatever floats your boat."<BR/><BR/>But when your belief system starts causing people to die, you must be held accountable. <BR/><BR/>Allowing someone to die because you don't believe in modern science is right up there with sacrificing virgins to appease the volcano.<BR/><BR/>Medical science should ALWAYS trump supersticious bullshit and manipulative control freaks.Ba‘al Zebûbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360110896502118159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-31107700866741536942007-12-04T21:07:00.000-06:002007-12-04T21:07:00.000-06:00emawkc -in the non-existant universe where i rule ...emawkc -<BR/><BR/>in the non-existant universe where i rule the country, yes, there would be some 'tweaks' to the bill of rights. one would definitively be that stupidity on your part voids your personal choice/right if it threatens the lives of others; if government has any use at all it is to protect those who can not protect themselves.<BR/><BR/>i won't pretend this is a 'fair' law any more than the one that says if i loan you my rifle and you kill someone with it than i can/will be prosecuted for murder {a statute i would also void}.<BR/><BR/>i won't call this tweak 'common sense' as that is usually nothing more than the particular collective of superstitious rubish you come to believe by the time you graduate high school.<BR/><BR/>but it is what i would do.<BR/><BR/>...right after banning all religions from having <I>any</I> interface with the government - no special tax breaks; no references to supernatural beings on our money or any/all government documents; no rote chants or other references about supernatural beings in our government; same for school systems - except as part and parcel of 'religious survey' courses; zip, nada, nothing.<BR/><BR/>There would still be no interference of anyone's right to worship who and what they pleased: publishing any 'religious' tract of any kind would be fine; trolling for converts in public, not so much.<BR/><BR/>my version of 'common sense' would allow religious 'holidays' to be publicly displayed and celebrated...so long as it was not on government property or subsidized or endorsed by government...<BR/><BR/>i could go on...<BR/><BR/>i'm all for 'personal choice' and 'responsibility' - i believe we disagree on what, exactly, those terms mean.Fred Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14897398837200178433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-71856265956423191302007-12-04T18:13:00.000-06:002007-12-04T18:13:00.000-06:00Right Schicho, so to hell with personal choice and...Right Schicho, so to hell with personal choice and responsibility.FletcherDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870340800475532887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-51814103904458516432007-12-04T17:51:00.000-06:002007-12-04T17:51:00.000-06:00almost agree with you; however the more humane met...almost agree with you; however the more humane method would be to ban any/all religious doctine in the secular matters of human health - what a non-demoninational board of certified physicians decide(d) would be it in such matters.<BR/><BR/>thus, the Caleb Horners of the world would fade away without harming naifs...Fred Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14897398837200178433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-76171855332213741052007-12-04T14:42:00.000-06:002007-12-04T14:42:00.000-06:00Couldn't agree more.Couldn't agree more.Chimpotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506150226934602028noreply@blogger.com
