Rick Santorum says the Dutch are killing the elderly: half of euthanizations forced

[Mein Teil]

Did you know euthanasia isn't even legal in the Netherlands? If a doctor follows certain guidelines the justice department typically refrains from prosecuting, but it's still technically breaking the law.

[BAF]

And i thought our politicians where bad, none of ours even come close to this guys stupidity. Please vote for him Yanks so we can have some funny news again.

[Ought Six]

You're assuming the media knows where Dutchland is. Of course we all know it's near the Hollandaise.

Stereotypes are not a good substitute for actual thinking.

You're not actually trying to speak sense into these folks, right?...

[Dankster]

When I heard Rick telling the story, I chuckled. Then I heard all the gasps in the crowd and realized that they are actually believing that ****. Than I wept.

He just had a speech around where I live. Front page news in the papers stating that he received cheers and applause from the audience. I try to tell myself that only brainwashed idiots go to these sort of things so it shouldn't bother me...I almost convince myself sometimes.

[Steak-Sauce]

You left out the ovens. The ones macs lent you.

Brilliant. We've finally singled out the connection to Germany. Now let Rick Santorum talk about us, I say!

[OrangeWolf]

Maybe you guys should do actual research on candidates, their government philosophies and their platforms instead of spouting off on forums about whatever sensationalist media BS you read on the internet.

You mean media BS such as Rick Santorum telling an audience bs crazy lies while hearing said audience believing him? It's not my fault his brain functions like a white version of an Iranian mullah.

I dont read youtube videos.

Also, I starting to truly belive some GOP candidates are on Obamas payroll. Anyone so far in the GOP race can't possibly be that retarded. It's not 'nutty'. It's not a 'brain fart'. It's f.u.c.k.i.n.g. retarded to claim Netherlands euthanized 10% of all of it's deceased, and to top it off - 50% of them was forced upon elderly who didn't want to go.

Dear lord I wish Romney wins the GOP race.

And, yes, this is me stating an opinion on american politics. Not my intention to offend someone.

Could we get an elderly Dutch person to post a thought on this?

Hendrikje Van Andel-Schipper; " I don't think I will need it, I'm not done yet"

When asked how she became so old, on her 110th birthday, she replied; "don't stop breathing".

At the age of 82 she decided to donate her body to science when dead. She eventually succombed to gastric cancer at the age of 115 years and 62 days.


( and as I'm considered as ' old' by some here is my opinion: When the time comes I will step out on my own terms, because in the Netherlands I can)

I still think they're going to roll out Palin in another month and we're all going to think she's the Einstein of the GOP and Queen of MENSA all rolled into one.

One could say you'll go out with a BANG?

You'd better watch your back, tercio.. These syringe-wielding euthanasists of death may just wait for you around the next corner!

More like 'up in smoke'.
