Why? For being glad that someone who has been rotting away for 15 years
finally passed on? Too bad some geniuses had to let her drag on for 13
more days before giving her peace. Good logic.

Or maybe somebody who couldn't have the verbal skills to communicate or
move was put to death because someone didn't want to deal with her
anymore. Even if it was true, the people making those blog's are
moron's just as much as the people that laughed at it, such as you.

Someone didn't want to deal with her anymore? Good job figuring that
one out! If it was me, I'm fairly certain that after 15 years, I would
want her to have a peaceful end, and allow everyone else to move on in
life.
You are just too far up your own ass to realize that everyone and their
brother doesn't have to drop what they're doing and become solemn and
cry because someone half a world away was finally put to rest after
fifteen years.

Oh shut up.
"Didnt have verbal skills and couldnt move... put to death"
She was brain dead! over 150 doctors diagnosed that she couldnot feel a thing and didnt know what was going on.
How would you like to sit in a bed for 15 years crapping and pissing yourself...How would you like to be the husband that has to watch his wife piss and crap herself.
First off when you marry someone its their opinion if they want to pull the plug, NOT the parents.
The parents just couldnt accept the fact that their daughter was a breathing rock. The husband had to watch his wife suffer for 15 years not to mention he is probably so far in debt from medical bills he probably eats scraps from the garbage.
I am sick of all these protesters whining and crying...Life sucks, deal with it. She was never going to recover, what do you think shes going magically to wake up someday and go to starbucks and get a latte...I think not.

Even if both of you are right, is that a reason to post a blog making
fun of her and then laugh? Have some respect, and try to say put
to rest after you were just making fun of her.....

her brain was mush... she wasn't supposed to be alive... for 15 years
money was just pissed away at keeping a cucumber breathing and keeping
her parents happy cause they thought that random nerves firing and
making her eyes move and her had grabbing things meant that she was
still aware of the things around her! take a newborn baby and put
your finger in its hand... it will grab it... you know why...
reflexes... they made the right decision by taking out the feeding
tube.

Speaking more towards frozen. It's one thing to have you views,
but then to make fun of a dying (now dead) person is just what makes
you human waste.

I was talking to frozen, my fault for the miswording.
Why should I come to chat? So I can get teamed up on by the
Tippmann Fraternity? I've tried having relgious debates in chat,
they go nowhere. All chat is is a club that is slowly trying to
rule over the forums. Look at the forum cops, all the cops with
the exception of one or two were all members of chat. There were
people on the "cops" list that didnt keep the language rules
themself. One in particular, if you disputed him with just say
**edited** you.
Either way, I really don't feel like coming into a place where I know
whats going to happen. I actually semi-already agree with you
Procarbine. It's just that when people show no respect to a dying
lady and place cruel jokes and laugh, it just starts an argument.

Tom DeLay makes even Michael Moore look honest.

ASHINGTON, March 28 - The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups.
"These compassionate pro-lifers donated toward Bob Schindler's legal battle to keep Terri's estranged husband from removing the feeding tube from Terri," says a description of the list on the Web site of the firm, Response Unlimited, which is asking $150 a month for 6,000 names and $500 a month for 4,000 e-mail addresses of people who responded last month to an e-mail plea from Ms. Schiavo's father. "These individuals are passionate about the way they value human life, adamantly oppose euthanasia and are pro-life in every sense of the word!"
Privacy experts said the sale of the list was legal and even predictable, if ghoulish.
"I think it's amusing," said Robert Gellman, a privacy and information policy consultant. "I think it's absolutely classic America. Everything is for sale in America, every type of personal information."
Executives of Response Unlimited declined to comment. Gary McCullough, director of the Christian Communication Network and a spokesman for Ms. Schiavo's parents, confirmed that Mr. Schindler had agreed to let Response Unlimited rent out the list as part of a deal for the firm to send an e-mail solicitation raising money on the family's behalf.
The Schindlers have waged a lengthy legal battle against their son-in-law Michael Schiavo to prevent the removal of the feeding tube from their daughter, who doctors say is in a persistent vegetative state.
Mr. McCullough said he was present when Mr. Schindler agreed to the arrangement in a conversation with Phil Sheldon, the co-founder of a conservative online marketing organization, http://rightmarch.com/" target=_>RightMarch.com , who acted as a broker for Response Unlimited.
"So the Schindlers do know the details," Mr. McCullough said on Monday. How much attention they paid to the matter is hard to assess, he added. "The Schindlers right now know that their daughter is starving to death, and if I ask about anything else, they say, 'I don't want to hear about it.' "
Direct mail and mass e-mailings are ubiquitous fund-raising tools of interest groups on the left as well as the right, and others in the direct-mail business defended the sale of lists like the roster of donors to the Schindlers as a useful way for potential donors to learn of causes that might appeal to them.
Pamela Hennessy, an unpaid spokeswoman for the Schindlers, said she was initially appalled when she learned of the list's existence.
"It is possibly the most distasteful thing I have ever seen," Ms. Hennessy said. "Everybody is making a buck off of her."
Ms. Hennessy, who operates the Schindlers' Web site, http://www.terrisfight.org/" target=_>www.terrisfight.org , said the family had not released any of the names or e-mail addresses gathered there. "Obviously these people are enterprising, and they are taking advantage of this very desperate father," she said.
On Sunday, as the Schindlers gave up on their legal battle and their daughter passed her 10th day without food, others continued to rally supporters and solicit money in an effort to restore the feeding tube.
"This time, we have a real chance to break through the 'roadblocks' that the enemies of life have been putting up in front of us," said a mass e-mailing from RightMarch.com, asking supporters to urge Gov. Jeb Bush to intervene somehow.
The message added: "We're asking you to give a donation to help with our activism efforts to save Terri's life. Battles cost money; resources cost money; media costs money; we could go on, but you get the picture."
Mr. Sheldon - whose father, the Rev. Lou Sheldon, founder of the Traditional Values Coalition, has also sent appeals urging support for Ms. Schiavo - apparently played a dual role as a partner in RightMarch.com, which is working with the anti-abortion activist Randall Terry, and as a broker for Response Unlimited. Mr. Sheldon did not respond to phone calls yesterday.
"I think it sounds a little unusual right now because of the situation where she is in the process of dying," said Richard Viguerie, another major conservative direct-mail operator. "If you came across this information six months or a year from now, I don't think you would give it too much thought."

I need to buy that e-mail list and send them all fake ebay e-mails telling them to give me their bank account numbers.

Just wait until her parents sign the movie deal that portrays her husband as Satan and her as a martyr.

Full of abuse, and the money and the affairs he was having. All fictional, and on the DVD there will be a deleted scene of Mr.Schiavo EATING BABIES!

Thanks, Clark. And yes, I was looking at you when I said that ;-)
You know, there is a bad 'Schindler's List' pun in there somewhere. Ah well, I'm sure Leno will flush it out.
