  1. Not if the AG makes her case. An appeals court will not ignore evidence, nor will they appreciate a defendant trashing another judge in public. Trump's bullying will get him nowhere in a court room. Quite the opposite.
  2. John Kelly, former Trump Whitehouse chief of staff.
  3. Your god has no business being someone else's problem unless it is their choice. So why are you in favour of capital punishment?
  4. Your god is your problem, not anyone else's.
  5. You say god decides. Did god also decide that people have to be kept alive doped out of their minds?
  6. My moral compass is fine. I don't try to impose my morality on others by using a god as an excuse.
  7. Yet you want capital punishment to be reinstated. You want to play god by setting the rules for others and using your god as an excuse.
  8. ALS isn't about pain. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354022 If pain levels reach a point where only a continuous application of opioids can control it, what kind of quality of life is that? People shouldn't have to suffer just because it might offend your sensibilities.
  9. It's only a sin in your head, stay out of other people's heads. Your moral code has no more validity than someone else's code, particularly when their actions affect no one but themselves.
  10. No you can't, when you judge an action you judge the person who committed it.
  11. Defeating Communism meant a regime change and that is what happened. They haven't gone back to communism, they have gone back to an autocracy. That is what they really missed.
  12. I can respect your right to believe whatever you want as a Christian but you have no right to impose those beliefs on others. You are judging them if you call their actions a sin.
  13. Well if you are concerned about money, it is a lot less expensive to allow people the death they desire than forcing them to be kept alive against their will for an extended period. How the hell do you know if their life is worth living, don't they get a say in the matter? After all it is their life, not yours.
  14. Who doesn't support health care. MAID is not putting people to death, it is allowing them to die on their own terms
  15. So now it is about money? If that is the case, you should be i favour of MAID. Much cheaper than that treatment you go on about.
  16. MAID is not a substitute for care but care has its limitations. You control your life as you see fit and respect the right of others to do the same.
  17. I'm not interested in destroying anything but I am happy that I can make my own decisions about by my own life whatever they may be.
  18. Yes, its unfortunate you can't impose your will on the personal decisions of others.
  19. No it isn't, The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Columbia. It is not about what I want, it's about what people want for themselves.
  20. Well, that's why people are assessed before it is made available to them. You can make up whatever you want but you would rather people visit a corner drug dealer and get a lethal dose of fentanyl then die alone and in despair by suicide than reach a considered decision with people who love them and die peacefully with those same people at their side.
  21. You or I are not qualified to make a blanket judgement. Every case needs to be assessed on its own merit. You act like health professionals want to kill people. They don't and no one can make them. Capital punishment is just killing.
  22. She was up for re election next year so as long as he picks a temp who won't be running, it seems to be the right thing to do.
