I've said more than once religion and government (law) don't always mesh.

Some people seem to think they should if it suits your need to use one to support or defend the other.

As a Christian, I believe it's wrong like I also believe abortion is wrong.

However, on a practical level, I disagreed with overturning Rowe V Wade.

And, again on a practical level, I'm not opposed to the idea of assisted suicide.

But I also understand the father who wasn't ready to lose his daughter.

jpw,

She requested assisted suicide in April 2024.

What took them so long to kill her?

jpw,

"Are you really so dumb you didn't get his point?"

Has nothing to do with being dumb.

It should be rather obvious I would not think along those lines right out the gate.

I mean...there's "pulling the plug" to take someone off of life support.

But in this a case they actually had to kill her since they used the word "euthanasia".

Alex,

I see now. People are upset the father is wanting to override the assumption she wanted to die.

Alex,

"his daughter"...I mean.

Alex,

I can't read the article.

I could research it but I'd rather someone explain it.

Seems to me the father tried to stop her daughter from being killed, I guess, by the hospital.

Alex,

"talk about missing the point."

Apparently so.

Snoofy,

If she was married, she would still be his daughter.

And in fact the father would now have a son-in-law.

(don't come back with "what if she married a woman")

Snoofy,

"Twenty five year old "daughter."
Not a person in her own right."

What in the world are you talking about?

The word "daughter" has nothing to do with her age.

If she had lived to 100, she'd still be his daughter.

Even when she is gone, she'll still be his daughter.

Justin Timberlake had been coached well. He refused the breathalyzer and refused anything that would be solid proof of alcohol level.

Then his lawyer got it thrown out since there was no proof and claimed "the cop administered the sobriety test incorrectly".

All Timberlake got was a moving violation.

Tiger Woods should hire this same lawyer.

Dan,

Obviously you're daring me.

Don't bring my wife into the conversation unless I have.

You've earned a time out too.

Nothing from me.

Laura,

"bloviation"

Sounds like having a party in Whoville.

In the words of Beevis and --------,

Heh heh heh heh... heh heh heh..
Laura said blo.

Dan,

Well?

Care to respond? I took your request serious and provided a serious answer.

What assumption did I make you don't agree?

Clown,

You've earned a time out.

Nothing you post to me will be worth my time.

I might want to not post comments about other posters families, if I were you.

It makes you look mentally unstable and in need of being watched closer.

Dan,

Larger urban voting systems are more likely to bottleneck and require additional handling due to sheer volume.

That introduces more layers of processing and more points where errors can occur.

These are challenges that simply don't exist at the same level in smaller precincts.

Dan,

Ballot harvesting tends to show up more in places with high population density, large scale mail-in systems, and third-party ballot collection is allowed. It also becomes more feasible in areas with more transient populations.

Those conditions are more common in urban areas, which often vote Democrat.

I'm not arguing for weaker safeguards anywhere. The standards should be the same.

What changes is the scale, implementation, and manpower required. Rural precincts deal with lower volume and simpler logistics.

Large urban systems are far more complex and harder to monitor consistently.

Alex,

The logic from the left is really wacked.

It's like you just can't get it what my reasoning is about mail-in ballots (other than absentee or exceptions).

It is incomprehensible.

Alex,

"Bill will never address the headline. His hero daddy voted by mail."

I don't give a crap how Trump voted.

Apparently you think I secretly care...well...I don't.

Dan,

"So, suddenly, it's two sets of rules"

It's called "exceptions" like have always existed about many rules.

Either you are Anal-Retentive or you're a troll.

Et,

Ive answered that question in the past.

Not doing again with you.

Lamp,

People in rural areas or small precincts will likely mail their ballot.

There would be less need for extensive checks and balances.

Lamp,

"Why should it not?
Simple question."

Humans.

The less humans are involved in getting information from point A to point B, the better.

Show ID, fill in ballot. Feed ballot into scanner. Record your vote.

No need for all the checks and balances to insure everyone who sent in a ballot by mail got their vote recorded and catch possible attempts to defraud the system.

In person scanned ballots is so much easier to count with virtually no opportunity for lost votes and better verification of the voter eligibility to vote.

But...I'm wasting my time explaining this again.

Some day Congress will need to step into this issue and set standards states will work within.

Dan,

"You don't get the irony, do you?"

I don't get what you mean. Unlike other posters here I dont claim to have inside connections to DC and the war department where they know all the facts and inner workings of Washington.

People here talk like they are experts on absolutely everything. I mean everything. There's not a topic people here aren't well versed.

Sorry...don't know about your irony.

The world of politics I think politicians are always telling us what they want us to think. That didnt start with Trump but apparently some here are so naive they think it did.

Zed,

"Trump is imagining these negotiations out of a deep and sick persona need"

Personally, I don't know what the truth is.

But it's interesting that you automatically take the word of the Iranian regime without question.

That says a lot. The level of hatred for Trump in this country must run pretty deep for someone to trust a government with a long reputation for dishonesty over their own government.

And let's not pretend this ends with Trump.

The next Republican president will get the same treatment.
