"TS Might Miraculously Recover!" My Comeback:

[stopbush]

Sure...and those kids returning from Iraq might miraculously grow back their missing arms and legs.

I've heard the odious Buchannan and the even more odious Bill Donahue (? - Catholic idiot) make this claim on TV today. What don't they understand? TS's brain CANNOT recover! It's medically impossible...and that's the end of it.

We're not lizards who can grow back a missing tail.

These odious Rs are shameless in their absolute lies. One wonders if the country will ever wake up and see them in the same light that the country finally saw Joe McCarthy.

1. Besides, she didn't want to be kept alive this way.

Anyone who asks not to be kept alive this way assumes the risk that they'll die rather than experience MIRACLE RECOVERY.

2. I had a response to that in the same vein

Theresa Schiavo could get better.

Yes, theoretically, in a parallel universe, two hundred years in the future where Star Trek is actually real, Dr. McCoy could travel back in time and stumble across Mrs. Schiavo and give her a pill (which she couldn't swallow, since swallowing is a conscious action) and she would regrow her cerebral cortex. Mr. Spock would then find the keeper of her katra and restore her personality via a Vulcan Mind Meld™.

But, short of that, no, she won't get better.

7. Or, McGyver will come through a Stargate and take her to a sarcophagus n/t

:D

3. See, mine would be a simple "No. Just no."

4. It's medically impossible, but not

miraculously impossible...:crazy:

[stopbush]

14. All the praying to Jeebus hasn't helped a damn. Maybe the Shindlers

should appeal to Odin or Thor...

Miracles schmiracles. Modern medicine is the miracle. Moderm medicine is what's kept TS alive this long.

I'm afraid he sky god has been out classed. Maybe the doctors were riding in iron chariots...the Biblical god can't defeat people in iron chariots.

5. Monkeys might fly out of my butt, too...

but you'll notice I still have my pants on. Um, or something equally clever like that.

:dunce:

[onenote]

6. so what's stopping the miracle from happening now?

God on vacation?

8. The MIRACLE option should prevent anyone from any medical intervention.

Breast cancer? Don't do chemo or have surgery - a miracle might happen instead!

[DBoon]

10. Who needs government sponsored health care then?

Miracles from above will help the 40% of Americans without health care coverage.

If you don't get better, then just pray harder.

Remember, poverty is God's punishment for those who don't believe in capitalism

[mondo joe]

11. Right - why see a doctor? You might MIRACULOUSLY get better

just like THAT!

[not fooled]

9. Facts? They don't need no stinkin' facts

As stopbush emphasizes, all anyone needs to know about this case is that her cerebral cortex is GONE, as irrefutably documented in the brain scan that has been widely disseminated. Period, end of story.

But, because these crackpots are impervious to science & facts, we get to witness the atrocious spectacle of innumerable idiots claiming various fairy stories, ranging from that she is not nearly so badly off to that she is ready to arise and sing & dance. :crazy:

Was this country ALWAYS so stupid, or is it just getting that way recently? I don't remember this type of hysterical idiocy much before * stole the preziduncy. Way to go America! Dumb & dumber. :eyes:

[Nevernose]

12. Maybe we should send a 9th-grade biology teacher to FL

Someone who could explain, patiently, the various functions of the human brain, and why Terri Schiavo is little more than a "vegetable."

13. Tonight's South Park was a brilliant satire of current events.

It combined all the elements of the Shiavo hubbub with the introduction of Sony’s PSP. In short, Kenny gets a PSP and becomes the champion player of “Heaven vs. Hell.” Once he reaches Level 60 he is killed in a hit and run. As it turns out, this is all by God’s design since Heaven needs someone to strategically lead the ultimate battle of HvH. Unfortunately for God, Kenny is revived and returns to Earth, but only in a vegetative “tomato” state. Can the forces of Heaven remove the feeding tube in time before the forces of Hell overpower the Heavenly Gates? Brilliantly biting.

Some small, but favorite moments:

The Archangel Michael sniffing on markers during his strategic planning presentations.

The debate on Kenny’s vegetative state is summed up by, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘Kenny.’”

When the forces of Hell are about to lose the battle of the feeding tube, Satan is persuaded by his planner to continue with the invasion because Hell has a last resort. They will do what they always do, speak through Republicans.

16. Satan's planner...

I think Satan's advisor was supposed to be like the Emporer from Star Wars -- his the robes, creepy clawed hands and evil disposition.

[Dookus]

17. by that logic

they'd best not bury anybody either, because they might miraculously be raised from the dead.
