Next week, Washingtonians will decide whether or not they want to legalize assisted suicide with Initiative 1000.
I’ll be voting in favor of it, because I’m not going to let the government tell me both how I have to live and when they will allow me to die.
That, and I think that more people getting themselves voluntarily offed may lead to SSI actually having a little money left in it when it finally comes my time to collect.
But I don’t think that the local leftist bloggers also in support of I-1000 are helping the cause by saying stupid shit like this
Think about what happened on 9/11 for a second. If you remember, there were people trapped on the highest floors of the second World Trade Center building who instead of perishing in the inferno behind them, decided to jump to their deaths. Should their death certificates say that they committed suicide?
I’d say that this asshole was comparing apples and oranges, but that just makes me want stuff produce up his ass to shut him the fuck up (organically grown produce, of course).
Not one to let someone else say something stupid without an attempt to go one worse, Seattle uber-blogger, Goldy of HorsesAss.Org, shoots and scores
It’s a great analogy I hadn’t heard before. The Catholic Church, the main backer of the No campaign, considers suicide to be a mortal sin. So… did the 9/11 WTC jumpers commit suicide? Or were they murdered by terrorists?
The fact that he has to ask the question shows that his last pair of remaining brain cells are arguing over which one of them farted.
