I don't give a shyt how anyone else sees him- in those last moments- when he had WON- he was still a piece of shyt bastard. Mercy and a shared sadness should have made this moment available for them all-

Michael Schaivo is an asshole- period

So?

Nephythys · 03-31-2005, 09:19 AM

yeah so.... who cares if he's an asshole who out of the nastiness of his heart he would not allow her parents to say goodbye in those last moments.

Great compassion there-

Break time- I can't deal with the apathy and attitude I find here today.

Poof- see you guys in a few days again.

I never should have known about this in the first place, it's none of my business. So whether he's an asshole is completely irrelevant to me. I could bring out evidence of what assholes her parents were to him (like telling him VERY early on to "just move on with life", and then using the fact that he DID move on with life as a mark against him in court), but it's also completely irrelevant. The character of these people is not my concern.

Weird, I woke up this morning, thinking....this has to be it, today's the day. My heart hurts.

South Park did an episode sending up this case yesterday. As usual, in the midst their over-the-top crude take, they manage to make some very salient points. In their version, Kenny is "dead" for a day, but is brought back to life and kept alive, in a PVS, using a feeding tube. He has left a living will, but the last page is missing, so all they have is, "If I'm ever in a PVS, please..."

The episode unfolds parallel to the Schiavo case, Cartman wanting him dead so he can inherit his Play Station Portable, Stan and Kyle wanting him kept alive because he deserves to live. At the end of the episode, the lawyer finally finds the rest of his will. His wishes state:

"If I'm ever in a PVS please...for the love of God, whatever you do don't show me in that state on national television."

Thank God she has finally passed on, now for the endless coverage of the after death litigation for the next several weeks. Guess I will watch endless episodes of the simpsons for the next several weeks.

Thank God her trapped soul is finally at peace. No one is happier than Terry today.

Ok, Michael really should have let her parents be there at the end. I think enough damage has been done in this family; that at least would have been a start at healing and reconciliation, hopefully.

It really should not have drawn the attention it did; it should have stayed a private matter. My heart does hurt for both sides, no matter who's a jerk and who isn't. Both sides are probably reacting out of hurt feelings and that's never a good place to come from.

I'm glad it's over. I just hope the litigation over her body gets done with quickly. I don't want to hear about it for months.

You know, family BS when people are dying or dead is the worst. It absolutely brings out the worst in people. Who knows all of the details and the reasons, I sure don't, so I'm not going to make any judgements as if I know the "real" story. I don't. I guess the important thing here is that she is a peace. I know all I feel is relief.

Because it's not possible for her death to come when it was his time to visit.
Nor was it possible for that they couldn't predict the exact moment of death to ask her family back in.
And we all know her parents would have allowed him back in had her last moments come during their time to visit.
Lets not forget that her family left for a 'medical asseesment' to be preformed and theres a good chance that she had passed on when her siblings were in the room and not Michael but it wasn't 'called' until he was back in there.

We will never know the full story. We shouldn't have known this much.

I hope Teri can rest in peace.

And I swear, if I am in a PVS and plastered all over the news I will haunt the people who did that to me for eternity.
