There is no cure for STUPID

[daveman]

I had a very good friend who was stricken with terminal ALS. He chose his date and turned off his own machine.

It's a privilege denied to most.

He's dying under his own terms. Most people don't get that option.

Beautifully said, Thanks.

Do I care that this yahoo makes such an irresponsible decision? Maybe yes, and maybe no. However, if and when he leaves his immediate family members dependent on the state for support, then I damn sure do care since they'll end up being supported by my tax dollars.

I pay taxes too............so fuck off.

Only because of how certain other people have decided to go about his situation. Therefore, how can it really be on his own terms when he's been pretty much stripped of other options by those who can't respect his decision where being vaccinated is concerned?

God bless you and him always!!!

That's true, but he still has the choice. He's choosing to stand by his principles.

In the past, I've been known to say that there IS a cure for ignorance. It's education. But there is NO cure for stupidity, especially when it can be classified as willful ignorance.

Is there any better example of this current trend than the following story?

Man Says He'd 'Rather Die of Kidney Failure Than Get Vaccine'​

A Virginia man who needs a kidney transplant to survive said he would "rather die" of kidney failure than get vaccinated against COVID.

But it’s not stupid to require a vaccine to get a kidney transplant?

It's funny how some people seem to believe that stupid only comes from people of one political ideology stupid is not limited to one political ideology, race, gender, economic class or religion pretending otherwise is highly stupid.

It defies logic.

Unfortunately, logic has, in the era of Trump, been rejected in favor of almost any emotive response as if an emotional feeling proves something to be either true or false when it's historically true that emotions lead people astray from what is true.

be a democrat follow the herd stop and let big brother do your thinking havent you been to college

Patriotism and standing by one's principles are things utterly foreign to today's dangerously deranged Democrat.

They're lunatic fascists.

Judging by the structure of that post, it is painfully clear you didn't finish grade school.

Total lack of self awareness. Common among the usual suspects here. Four years of crying and throwing every fantasy imaginable out there at Trump because of their “feels”. And swallowing every one of them. Congratulations. You just described the Dem party from the last 5+ years.

There is no cure for STUPID​

Which explains the flood of liberal posts.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

It is kind of like someone telling you "Kneel before me or be shot" I would take the bullet. "It is better to die standing than to live kneeling."

I second this. What you say here brought this awesome song to my mind.



God bless you and Shania always!!!

Dying under one's own terms when death is not only inevitable, but imminent, is something that most people can understand. But that's not what is happening here.

This man is choosing death over vaccination. That's little more than suicide, and it seems like a senseless and irrational politically motivated suicide.

What if the cure is the jab? We'll see. We know there is massive willful ignorance around them.

The hospital is also choosing to condemn this man to death because he wont get a vaccination though right? Do we deny people heart transplants because they dont have a flu vaccine or the one for Measels? What does his vaccination status against COVID have to do with him getting a kidney?

You can't make that decision for anyone else.

And that's the underlying point here. Some people believe they should make decisions for others.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

― C.S. Lewis

He's being punished for daring to defy the State. His death will send a message to others who question the narrative.

Leftists have always used murder to enforce their will.
