I'm bookmarking this thread just to see when OP joins the "quit" list.

Running list of posters who have quit on this baseball team!

Define quit. Like as in this season? Or as in watching the team development for next season?

Because the list is shite.

What if I told you most Catholics have already shrugged their shoulders and moved on?

What are you talking about? ALS is incurable. Might there be a cure in the future? Perhaps, but right now, April 16, 2026, ALS is IN FACT a death sentence.

wrong. While there currently is no cure, that doesn’t mean that a person is necessarily going to die from it immediately. I’ll give you this – it is unpredictable. Look at the actor Eric Dane. He was recently diagnosed and died from the disease very quickly. However, look at someone like Stephen Hawking. He lived until he was 76 years old and a lot of his life he had that disease. Look at someone like Steve Gleeson. He’s 49 years old, but who knows how much longer he’ll be able to hang on. And in fact, Steve Gleeson is an interesting subject. Here’s a guy who albeit may not have the best quality of life, but a person who is decided that he will live the life he has to the fullest.

The amount of pro-Euthanasia people already in this thread is appalling. It's evil and no-one wants to talk about the "doctors" who have killed more people than any serial killer in history.

Edit: It's horrible for the mental health and soul of those who go to work to kill people.

Something has happened to us as a culture and I'm not sure I understand where/how/why the shift has occurred but it's devastating and hopefully reversible. Because if not, I don't know what the eventual endgame is.

There are miracles at work in scientific human advancement happening every single day. One of my favorite companies is Neuralink, who has created a chip that essentially allows the brain to bypass where the nervous system may be failing. It aims to restore sight where eyes have failed, hearing where ears have failed, and on and on. There's trials literally RIGHT NOW where paralyzed people, Parkinson's patients, ALS affected people, blind people, deaf people - they're literally moving limbs that haven't moved in years. They're speaking thru vocal synthesis, they're going to eventually be able to see through imbedded cameras. Let's take ALS as an example that someone used in this thread, as somehow being some acceptable euthanasia circumstance. ALS is NOT an automatic death sentence. But moreover, there's things being created today that may eventually render it as treatable as anything.

I'm not sure if the majority of the pro-Euthanasia people here have kids, but the love I have for and feel from my kids is nothing short of miraculous to me. On the day that each of them were born, my life was absolutely forever changed and I was blessed with feeling more love I've ever felt. It was amazing. And living with them and raising them from here has been this overwhelming joy that every day, I try to explain to them through the INCREDIBLE GIFT of living my life! Of them living THEIR OWN lives!

The things that had to happen for me to be granted life here, for them to be given life here. It's a gift from God, no doubt. But even more, there's millions and millions of slight chances and occurrences that had to happen to be given life. We take it for granted, but every bit of it is this remarkable experience. The ups, downs... all of it.

I know some very fine and amazing people, some of them family, who have been wrecked through the suicide of a family member. It is absolutely awful watching them deal with this. The destruction of their entire family unit is forever wounded. I'm not kidding you. It's every single day, they wake up in these paused lives. These "what-if's" that will plague them every single day for the literal rest of their lives here. It's real pain. It's like, this flip-side of love that I just don't know how they can process it daily, hourly. Constant. I can't even imagine a world where this would happen to me. I see them carrying on and they do everything it takes to live but the entirety of their lives will have this undeniable void.

You are loved. You have always been loved. You will always be loved. There is no world where allowing someone to slip away on their "own terms" is therapeutic. Life is hard sometimes. It's unbearable sometimes. But fight for it. We CAN NOT become a society where it's just given up for this or for that. It is not human to not live.

If you're a Sweeny fan, there's some pretty good scenes in it. Especially season 1.

Judge who gave cop 3-9 years for throwing picnic basket gave 18 yo 9 months for beating to death of a 69 year old homeless man.

I actually followed that cop story. I cannot understand how anyone could be police anymore. Absolute miscarriage of justice and it creates a very dangerous precedent. Would be sweet justice if this judge one day needed a cop, but instead they just stood there saying "I can't intervene, sir. I might go to jail..."

I'm sure all the bougie Mardi Gras balls, black-tie weddings and other fancy doings will love celebrating at a classic BR property now called the "Sports Illustrated Hotel".

This is dumb. It's expensive and it will fail. Keep all the Hilton livery in storage because it will no doubt be going back to that before long.
