“Polarizing” doesn’t mean “almost everyone disagrees with you”. It means “many people agree with you and many people disagree with you”.

But if you said “people in poor health should HAVE THE OPTION of being euthanized” then that would qualify as polarizing

Whatever his comment was had a way more split vote ratio than any of the other tripe in this thread.

Just a question for clarity here - you’re saying that a person of sound mind and can communicate should be killed against their will?

Jon, in his 80s, falls down the stairs and breaks both his legs.

Garfield: I’m Sorry, Jon.

Statistically that’s quite likely… you break your hip when you’re 65+ and there’s a 60-80% chance you’re dead in a year.

Why stop there? Anyone that requires any help of any kind from any other person should be immediately executed. We’re rugged individualists, not a bunch of socialist pussies!

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

I get that you are saying that after a person becomes a financial burden on the population that we should get rid of them and save the resources, but that’s very short thinking and it’s a very selfish stance and I get why you’re sharing it now because the question was what’s the most polarizing thing you’ve said and my response is very polarized because I feel like you and anybody who agrees with you should be excommunicated from society and put onto a small island somewhere where we never have to deal with them ever again.

There’s a difference between someone who broke his leg and a vegetable, though

If meatloaf was made out of chicken it would still technically be meatloaf.

Anyone can say things that are technically true while missing the point completely.

Correct. Especially in modern times, people that are non-responsive and fully dependent on medical care, should be put to rest.

So, you think it’s “kind” to let humans that are essentially nothing but a lump of flesh to live in a bed 24/7/365?

That’s not life. It’s torture and cruel.
