Maggie Thatcher is sad

[Gonz]

I'm sure her husband is pleased.

 

[tonksy]

If Rob let me live like that for as long as she did I would haunt him for the rest of his life as soon as I did die.

 

[Gonz]

If Rob was responsible for your being in that condition...?

 

[freako104]

Clearly, you are making up your own story to fit the facts as you want them to be.

She was dead, Gonz. her brain had ceased all function. The autopsy clearly shows that this was the case. It was her wish that if this happened they should let her go. Her parents, in a pathetic attempt to cling to something that was already gone got a bunch of self-righteous, breastbeating horses asses to piss and moan to the press. Half-wits everywhere jerked their knees and jumped on the bandwagon. Congratulations. It's done. Build a bridge and get over it.

I had heard she was brain dead but still considered living? I had put her husband lower since I thought he did his actions merely to get finical gains (her insurance) from her death though i admit that could have been propoganda from the pro life groups wanting her to live.

 

[tonksy]

Why? Was it an accident that put me there or did he assault me? Accidents happen and it's no excuse for keeping someone alive for years on a ventilator just to assuage your guilts and fears.

I'm sure her husband is pleased.

He was trying to do what she had asked him to do. The insurance money that you're trying to imply he was after was spent in the court fight to make every kneejerk busybody involved respect her wishes. The other, trumped up issues never surfaced until after a judge had found in his favor. Convenient, huh? I'm sure he feels vindicated. Pleased? Not so much.

Do you know what your wife's wishes are?

Will you let some other fool tell you that you can't follow her wishes?

I promise you that I will not.

I did not know that side of her wishes nor did I know that the money was spent on courts. I have to admit that I fell for the emotional propoganda by the pro lifers. Though if a chance do you have a link to back this? Ido apologise for impeding but I do have to wonder about this

 

[chcr]

I don't know freako, it was a long time ago. A lot of newspaper stuff won't be up anymore. Try googling a time line.

 

[Sharky]

She was technically dead. No brain function at all, whatsoever. Her body was kept alive by machines. Tragic, but true.

If you don't want that to happen to you, folks, sign a Living Will, do it NOW, not next week. You can print one out from online.

Ya never know what's around the corner.

 

[chcr]

Got one, thanks.

 

[Gonz]

Why? Was it an accident that put me there or did he assault me?

That was the question here.

Her body was kept alive by machines. Tragic, but true.

Her body was quite alive. The only machine providing life support functions was a feeding tube.

 

[chcr]

That was the question here.

It wasn't a question until after the courts had found in his favor. I find that rather indicative.

Her body was quite alive. The only machine providing life support functions was a feeding tube.

So then, what you saying is a "machine providing life support functions" did exist???

Yes, and her brain was quite dead, just as everyone without a political axe to grind or a self-righteous need to be seen as correct no matter how wrong they are maintained all along.

 

[Professur]

The only machines allowed to keep me alive are the microwave and the ATM.

Too bad you didn't take time to read what I wrote. Maybe someday. Not very likley though.

I did read it. You tried to rebut Sharky's contention that machines were keeping her alive by talking about the machine that was keeping her alive.

I give up. What in the world are you on about now?

 

[Professur]

ROFL.

Pinochet 'proud' of his legacy

Santiago - Late dictator Augusto Pinochet, in a posthumous letter published in Sunday newspapers, said he was "proud" of preventing a communist regime from taking root in Chile.

"Quite honestly I tell you I'm proud of the great effort that was made to prevent Marxism-Leninism from reaching total power," said the letter released two weeks after Pinochet died from heart attack complications.

However, he said he would have wished for "greater wisdom" during his 17-year military regime that took over in 1973 after overthrowing Socialist president Salvador Allende.

His regime is blamed for about 3 000 deaths and disappearances.

"If the experience could be repeated, however, I would have wished greater wisdom," Pinochet said in the five-page letter newspapers said was written on a computer.

Of the human rights abuses attributed to his regime, Pinochet's letter said it was difficult to pin any blame "because there was no institutional plan to carry them out.

"Serious conflicts are and always will be ... source of abuse and exaggeration."

In his posthumous message, Pinochet said "it is quite possible we'll never know for certain how and why" the human rights abuses took place, adding that the victims' friends and families "will for ever harbour a dark memory of what happened".

Despite numerous charges and legal proceedings against him, Pinochet never stood trial for any of the crimes - including fraud - committed under his watch, although some officials of his regime have been sentenced to jail.
