Agree. I don’t remember him saying a word about Josh’s sisters. Everything was in support of Josh.

So my support was for his sisters, who were the real victims, I felt like they were being exploited by the media.

Yeah, I’m okay with everything you’ve said. This is not “telling people what to do with their money”. This is saying “here’s what’s going on over here in the real world, and here’s how that 100K could have made a big difference."

If you want to stay tacky and gauche, stay tacky and gauche - that’s totally your choice.

you don’t get to tell people how to spend their own money

don’t tell other people what they should or should not do with their money

Oh please. We are told what to do with our money everyday by the hundreds of adverts we are exposed to, by the government via taxes and food stamps, and by our partners and family. Judging rich people for poor choices might be unsophisticated in your book, but the preventable death of hundreds of dogs isn’t exactly…

And another thing (OT sort of), wouldn’t a dog who was diagnosed with brain tumour and suffering from cardiac arrest be exactly the dog you would not want to clone? For genetic reasons? I know that sounds cold and eugenic but as long as we are cloning here....

Srsly. Last time I heard someone try to use “tacky and gauche” as a serious insult was fourth grade.

Well, you certainly told her.

No, I can’t force people to spend their money is a reasonable or responsible way, but I can and will continue to call them selfish assholes for wasting their money in such a way.

I’m a full-time shelter worker*, donate my “extra” cash to four different charities (ASPCA, Shriners Hospitals for Children, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, The Wild Animal Sanctuary) on a monthly basis, and frequently use my own money to buy supplies for my job that I am not able to be reimbursed for, and have three…

LaComtesse is correct. The only reason premies survive is incredibly expensive, advanced medical technology. And if you don't want that, they can't force it on you. It's bizarre that they would subject this poor damaged fetus to such extremes.

‘who didn’t use the first 6 months to get an abortion’

But those super-premature infants don’t just survive on their own. They’re kept alive precisely with the ‘miracles of science’ - or rather medicine and technology - that humans have invented.

It’s exactly miracles of science that enable a baby born at 24 weeks to survive. A baby in a NICU will undergo tremendous amounts of very advanced, often complicated treatments in order to survive.

Your understanding is wrong. Viability is a weird term that, thanks to the miracles of technology, is edging increasingly towards conception. You can resuscitate or keep something alive through artificial means way before it would naturally survive outside the womb.

I dont understand what you mean. When she attempted the botched abortion it was still inside of her.

Everyone: The “Check out my band” spammer is Bon Morte. Just a heads-up before you engage.

Fuck. That lady needs...support, not prison.
