"Need help with assignment"

I've gone back to university taking classes for my degree and my sociology class has a group discussion at the end of term. My group is to discuss euthanasia (assisted suicide). One of the things we've decided to do is take a poll of people and find out what the general consensus or majority say about this. So, if you would, please post whether you're for it, against it, or just don't know.

Oh, yes! Please state briefly why you're for or against it. Thanks in advance.

I wrote that as a parody of your earlier comment to Forest Fan. Don't pretend you didn't notice that.

So you're outraged that I've got the audacity to tell you not to insult people?
Fair enough. If it makes you feel any better I can rephrase it as an opinion instead.

I've 'clealy' only skim-read at most one thread? That's a rather naive (not to mention incorrect) assumption to make. I deny it :)
I don't usually comment in threads like this because it rarely bothers me that much.

Heh. For this thread, you're absolutely right. That said, it seems most of my insults are true. Or are you saying that Mary ISN'T a coward?

Well duh. However, when someone tries to say that opinion should be universal, and no-one should be allowed to have opinions that differ (as Mary does), I get ticked off. So I express my opinion; that Mary is a failed human being who needs some severe education. Extreme yes, but at least it has the benefit of being informed.

Mate, you can make Klingon into a degree these days...

Lol aww have I said something that Azul and Mattribute don't like? Oops, I'm sorry. An equally valid question would be why don't you two just drop dead and do the world a favour? You'd be missed as much as a tumor I assure you.

I'm for Euthanasia - if they want to get killed, it's there choice, but I'm against Cubists ideas of the weak getting killed.

Light, an opinion is an opinion, no matter how uninformed and extreme it may be.

And you can make Sociology into a degree?!?

WOW! Thanks, mates!! I haven't been here since posting this. Great responses! As soon as I have time, I'll pull most of this off and use it. (And I'll give you credit, too, Light.) Again, thanks,mates!!

There are thousands of people who die every day.

Why can't you be one of them?

You've no idea how much I wish I were standing behind you with a shotgun.

Lol I wasn't forcing any opinion onto you. Just saying how I feel. When a person is no more useful I see no need in them hanging around. Especially if they start leeching of society. Ever heard the phrase: Live fast, die young and leave a good looking corpse? That's what I want. To go in my prime. Not as some shrivelled up old man like you see on buses and stuff. Urgh. I just think it's sad and never want it to happen to me.

And it was proven that the large majority of OAP's still have 98% of their brain power.
Idiot.

You're the kind of person that, if I were ever to meet, I really would do my worst. You're that much of a narrow minded, drivelling, infuriating cretin.
And I'm not really a violent person.

Oh well.
