Right. And then they change the system.

Yeah, and all this just happened to occur at precisely the moment the planned parenthood fiasco happened. I assure you, I am more astute than most. The issues you bring up, other than the pulling of abortion funding are red herrings. Stop it and at least acknowledge that that's what happened.
This is about changing a significant issue that has been addressed in congress and in the federal courts. But yeah, I guess when your busy drone killing unknowns and tapping people with Verizon, it gets tough to make time. noyourewrong.
I was just having this conversation with my buddy who does PI. We were talking about computing the worth of a kid killed by another kid in Jersey. He said he wouldn't even go after earnings because they'd be too speculative. But financial worth is, to me, less important that length of life when we're talking about…
Well, why is it that people donated less to the Susan B. Komen foundation when they pulled funding for planned parenthood? They still did a lot of other good work, but people felt it was important that the organization didn't penalize certain people. Here, I think kids are being penalized. I am an organ donor and…
Yeah, this is about her getting in the list, period. Not line-skipping except maybe over those she would have been in front of. As for you suggesting the president do absolutely nothing, he's obviously going to take your advice and sit on his ass.
The doctors at CHOP are experts and don't think it's an issue. They are some of the best in the world. And it would also be great if he came out in favor of organ donation in general, but I think, if you're going to use this girl as a prop, you should at least try and save her life. Plus, if anything, this policy…
Actually, of you take a look at sentencing guidelines in most states, aggravating sentencing factor is if the victim was more vulnerable. So a person can get more time for hurting a kid. Medical policies I don't know a thing about.
The Schiavo case was different. This is not about the child bit about a sensible policy change. CHOP doctors are some of the best in the world and were obviously able to convince a court that there was no risk. What makes this different than Schiavo is that there's nobody debating whether this kid is brain dead. She's…
So the best way to handle this is to do nothing when a word from him can move mountains? As I said to another person, we have a social contract and part of that contract is that kids' lives are worth more. You may disagree with this assessment, but it doesn't make is any less true from the prison yard, where baby…
I respectfully disagree. As we see with gun violence and other issues, people don't want to "politicize" an issue when it's fresh. Then they forget about it. You have to do it when people are paying attention. As much as I despise what they did, the republicans did it with Terri Schiavo when they made it an issue as…
My mom had the worst vision ever. When she died I was the only one there and donated her corneas. I figured she would've gotten a kick out of her bad eyes helping someone else see.
With respect to the kids, I don't know the situation. With respect to the adults, we as a civilization have made a decision that kid's lives are more valuable. It's like how a child killer is considered worse than someone who kills an adult (see Newtown). It's, how should I say this, a contract we make with each other…
I would agree, but her doctors think she'd be okay. And CHOP is the best children's hospital in the country and perhaps the world.
Actually, I said weigh in, not decide. See, the president can help create policy by speaking to the American people. Seems like a decent thing to do and would require his speechwriter to whip up something about kids dying and saying he has people working on it. She gets the transplant and the law gets changed. It's…
If only we had democratically elected leader of the free world to at least weigh in on this. That would be pretty cool. Hey, wait a minute...
My favorite thing about this article is how you act as though you'd you and Norton discussing your craft. It's not. He's an accomplished comedian and you write a blog.
MURDERER!!!
So you are a faggot, liberal, tree-hugging, misogynistic, rape apologist. Hard to put on a business card. Just use the words "thoughtful person" to save space.
Because the big picture isn't important to these dopes who can't see past their own ideals. It's like trying to explain to a bunch of rednecks why a person should be allowed to burn the flag. Their brain just can't grasp the concept that other people have different views, in this case, about comedy.
