*sits in the lobby with everyone, looking around with a ball in his hand* Pretend you all were my best friends and I was dying in a hospital. Every day I feel the most excrutiating pain that I could popssibly ever go through, and you all see me sufferent day in and out. One day you come while the nurse is out and I ask, Please...Can you...pull the plug? Would you do it for me? Could you commit euthanasia on someone to end their suffering?

Responding to Tres...Yes...because either way I don't know if its meant for you to die. I could be altering destiny...if you would. I feel like people go through things for a reason. I saw my grandma suffer from cancer...still wouldn't pull the plug. If you want to take it to another level...my grandma was a wonderful person, but she did some serious stuff in her day that the family hasn't recovered from. I think it took that for her to finally understand what she had done before. Before she died she apologized.
And what if it was me? What if it was meant for the plug to be pulled on me? People say that God never commands people to ****, but our preacher said that He told Abraham...no, Commanded him to **** his child. Im sure none of you would be commanded to **** me, but can you really say that suffering is His will? Could it be that its His will for you to pull my plug and you just dont see it because you dont want to? It could be your reason for being there in the first place...
but that was a test of faith...besides we could be there so YOU could have hope...maybe God placed us there to bless you...let you know that he's right there... but unless God tells me to pull the plug and that it is in HIS will to do so...then i will obey....but if not...and if it is in HIS will to stand by you...then i will obey....

Of course i woulnd't want you to suffer...and it will pain me just watching you go through something so aweful....however i can honestly say that i would not pull the plug...moreso the fact that...its not my call...God will take you when HE wants you...so i would get down on my knees and pray like i've never prayed before...i would pray for your strength...your faith...and i would ask God to heal your body....but i could never **** you...betta believe that i would be with you day in and day out...right there by your side...wouldn't want you to go through it alone...
So in a nutshell, youd be there to watch me suffer? Watch my hair fall off me and my eyes turn black because the lack of oxygen to my brain makes me a quadriplegic and a mute. Watch me live the next 40 years of my life as a vegetable who can only feel pain...at least youre prayin for me
damn tres *crying* :cry: it would be called support...i would be there for you...its the fact that i'll be there...not the fact im watching you for my amusement or something...i'd be messed up my damself knowing you had to go through that....and most importantly...DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER....prayer is powerful wether you choose to believe that or not... but thanks for making me feel this small... :? thats not what i meant at all
Dont get emotional, its just a topic. I dont think Ill be going through this anytime soon, Im just trying to see where everyones mind is at. *hugs you* dont feel bad though, I love you This Much see?
*hugs you back* im ok now...thanx.... btw....very interesting topic...lol

LoL, well actually I created this place for people just to ask general questions and get some general answers cuz I think its always beneficial to be knowledgeable about the situations that happen in life. I mean, Im not asking people to write a million sentences, but just get the gist of what they feel out into the public so that it can stimulate thought. Those thoughts could be the very thing that changes the world. Anyways, new question... Do you think that the new Black Anger movement is a Detriment to society of Just what we needed?

In all honesty I look at slavery as motivation. I dont feel that every damn problem the black community has is the White mans fault. We may have to work 2ice as hard but we have oppotunities anda chance. Instead of complaining pick up a book, invest in stocks, support more black owned companies. Help the community. We are the keepers of our future. So get off that damn "White Man" vendetta and get educated

Thats true, but Im saying do you think that That mentality is good for the impressionable college folks who will be our next leaders? Ive seen good white men and women get fired from the jobs they did best to put black people who arent qualified in that position just because of some stuff they heard from a ****-Prez concert. I do believe that we need to look more positively towards the future to create a positive effect, but is there something we can do about these people who come and make us seem like Kunta without a hope?
