If you really don't care... then why did you start this thread?

"Comparing Elizabeth Edwards to Jerry Falwell is stupid. But you are being very stupid on this thread.

That given, whoever wishes what on her won't change anything. So again, get hold of yourself."

Comparing a Elizabeth to Jerry is not stupid Darla. It is a fair comparison. You call Falwells wife a pig because she stayed with Jerry. Yet Elizabeth has stayed with a slimy trial lawyer who made millions off the pain and suffering of his clients.... but her story is compelling to you. Funny.

Side note... they really don't approve of "getting a hold of oneself" at my workplace. ;)

Let's put aside all of this other BS for a minute, which is all meaningless emotionalism.

Trial lawyers protect the rights of the consumer and the worker. And if you did not have them in this society, you would be a slave. When Shakespeare wrote "the first thing you do is, kill all the lawyers' he meant it not as a slur on lawyers, though it has been repeated that way through the ages, by...REPUBLICANS!

How can someone who is just an average guy, want to give corporate america the right to poison him, which they will do if it's cheaper, and the right of his employer to work him to death in unsafe conditions, has always been beyond me but I consider it the very height of stupidity.

Because I like to post good news. And this was good news.

But how Falwell felt about being fat...that I don't care about. This isn't an overeaters anonymous meeting for god sakes!

Regardless of whether it is taking place or not many a Liberal spoke volumes about the uncompassionate R who would say such a "terrible" thing.

I have made no judgement on you whatsoever, I only spoke of why I feel compassion for the family of the recently deceased.

Wait, what do you mean? Where and when did this take place? You mean on this board? Or in DC?

Then I don't have to feel bad about it, do I? Which is what initially led to my statement, if you can remember back that far.

Do I think that he did though? No, I think he was used to having whatever he wanted, and he thought he could have his steak and eat it too. But I don't know for certain. Or care enough to try and find out. Or care at all actually.

When have I expressed remorse over his death? That I have compassion for those who remain behind, doesn't mean that I cry for him.

You keep mixing things up here. Expressing compassion for his family has nothing to do with his death or how I feel about it.
 
"Trial lawyers protect the rights of the consumer and the worker. And if you did not have them in this society, you would be a slave."

So you are saying that it is bad for corporations to take advantage of people, but okay for trial lawyers to do so? Wow.

While the need for lawyers may certainly exist, do they NEED to fleece the people they are supposedly defending? When they make insane amounts of money, it is ok... but if a corporation does it they are evil?
 
Falwell blamed me, and millions of americans like me, for the attacks of 9/11.

September 2001: Falwell blames Americans for the 9/11 terrorist attacks: “The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’”

"It infuriates you that I'm not ashamed to say I laughed that he died. "

It does not infuriate me darla. I really don't care. It is simply funny to me when a "tolerant open-minded" liberal... is so cold.

I have never once described myself as either tolerant or open-minded. Now, I do think I am open-minded, now that you bring it up, however tolerant? No.

And cold?

Well...it all depends on who is doing the feeling.
 
I think Damo's unconditional compassion is admirable.

It is worthy of emulation. I also know that Care would have expressed the same sentiments but not caught as much flak over it.

As for me I never cared much for Falwell I would say as a sum total he did more harm than good in his life. I do not rejoice at his death but I can honestly say I don't feel sorrow either.

However with him as any other person no one is completely good or bad. I'm sure Jerry did some good things in his life and made some people happy and others truly cared for him.

When people die its time to stop attacking someone and let them rest at least for a little while anyway.
 
Yes very good news Darla. Jerry boy finally got to die to meet his maker :D

Should we not rejoice when someone goes to heaven ?
Or are we to be hypocrites and feel genuine or at least express feigned sorrow ?
Darned secular society!

On this board.

Threads about her cancer began, some stated that he was "using" it for benefit. Many people waxed emotive about how "terrible" they were for thinking such a thing!

Personally I expressed compassion towards them and surprise at his choice to remain in the race.

Elizabeth Dole ?"

Bob Dole was never a trial lawyer. He went from WWII to Law School to politician. Nice try for an old guy.

Oh, ok, but that is totally different than Edward's expressing a political position and a republican disagreeing with it, and a democrat saying "how dare you his wife is dying".

I do remember that now vaguely, but I don't remember who said Edward's was using her sickness for political gain. And I still don't know how that equates to my laughing when Falwell died. Jesus Christ can't a girl even have a good time anymore? You guys are becoming like Mullahs, or, as bush would say, Moolahs...totally dictating to me that I have to be somber all the time, and I guess now I will have to take to wearing the black everytime a white republican dies.

Yeah that's right, that's what I was doing, rejoicing that he finally got to meet the Lord. Doesn't it say that in the bible? "Yeah and when a fatman dieth, rejoice for he shall dine on the fried fat at the right hand of the Lord forever?"

I'm no biblical scholar, but I'm pretty sure about that one.
 
Darla... I don't think anyone has dictated to you what you can or cannot say, think or feel. No one suggested you had to feel bad for any white republican that dies. We are just pointing out the irony of a open minded liberal rejoicing in the pain/suffering/death of an individual.
 
You know what's fucked up. Honestly I felt worse when Saddam died. Obviously that doesn't make much sense cause as bad is falwell was he is nowhere the monster that Saddam was.

I think it might be because he was executed and I fell worse for people when they are killed than if they die from natural causes. If falwell was executed I'd probably feel bad for him too.
 
Damo expressing sympathy fot the fat guys family is running down the falwell familys faith. Because as Christians they must be overjoyed that Jerry has left this earth filled with liberals and gone to a far better place.
So if Damo is assuming they feel sorrow instead of gladness....
