Anything for the mermaid corpse

In reply to this comment by peggedbea:
thanks dude!

congrats again on the 100. Here is a scratchy something. I'm not altogether pleased with it, but maybe you'll like! Dead mermaids are, as it turns out, rather interesting to scrawl though, so maybe I'll give it a more thoroughly thought out try!

Great find.


Thanks

I thought this was really cool because it's great to see people caring when they don't have to.

Darkhand, I was being sarcastic. The "is this wealth" comment was in relation to another conversation going on over in Sift Talk.

It was something of a zen koan, because wealth is seen only as capital by the majority of dimwits who run this country.

Is the woman wealthier for having the mermaid outfit? Is the company of artists and professionals who made it for her richer for the experience?

Roughy, Westeners sometimes do incredible things just for the fun and challenge of it.


As opposed to easterners, or southerners, or northerners?

You have a dangerously shallow mind.

>> ^rougy:
Is that wealth?


I'm not sure what you're asking but I'm going to assume you are saying "Didn't she pay for this?".

I'm going to answer no because as indicated in the video the company does this in their "spare time". If someone was paying you for something you'd treat it just like any other job.

The company also said "we won't make another of these" if people wanted to buy the product they would sell it no?

Lastly the gentleman representing the company says "we learned a lot from this project" which is him justifying doing it for free as a one time thing.

So, you think that somebody born with this condition doesn't have the right to exist?

I never said that. I said that defective births are usually still born anyway, or are in cases aborted when the birth becomes risky to the mother.

Fight the good fight? I don't think that really applies, people born with disabilities have no choice but to struggle anyway. You are not giving them a choice, obviously they will strive to survive. My comment was not based around their inability to do this, human psychology more powerful then physical disability.

What am talking about is creating hope through one painful medical procedure to the another. I seen operations like this, its not a fight its painful as fuck.

Steven Hawking's condition were determined while he was still in his mother's womb

Stephen Hawking has ALS, the cause of which no one knows. No substantial hereditary link has been found. So your point doesn't apply here. I mean you could be killing hundreds of potential Einsteins masturbating, that is still not a good way of refuting this. This is the same argument pro-Choice people have.

People learn to cope with the cards they're dealt and we should leave it to them to make the choice to live or die.

I don't think its a choice when you have a medical community intervene on a birth that would lead to death a few decades ago.

I don't know why you are painting me out as some morally depraved bastard, I never said lets just kill her and be done with it, of course the story of her life is touching.

But you are taking one girl aptly called the mermaid girl and pulling out a morally high position out of it. She has the means to progress through this, a nurturing home to help through this. But you aren't accounting for the hundred of thousands of other defective births, I worked with mentally disabled and deformed births in Africa, no one wanted them, there is no socialized system to take of them, it was horrifying to see them to live in conditions of no love.

They were suffering. I didn't like seeing that, I think it would have been better if there were allowed to perish at birth. This girl has the means and support to make it through, most don't.

But I believe human life is nothing special and am frankly quite cold about it, I care about my fellow man of course but being alive is not an achievement or miracle its simply biology and evolution. That's why I never understand the sadness people feel when having a still born child, naming them and then having funerals, he was still born for a reason, his life experience is as peaceful as you can have. Its best to move on and have another child and do everything possible to have a safe birth.

>> ^deedub81:
Could you say that to the girls face?
"I think you should have been terminated before you were born."

Deedub, I think your heart is in the right place, but would you choose to live like that?

She's here, she's now, but would you live her life?

Her chances for prom dates, marriage, kisses from hot suiters?

Next to zero. Always the outcast. The freak.

Stop it before it starts, and let her soul rebound to a better place.

Could you say that to the girls face?

"I think you should have been terminated before you were born."

What an ignoramous. That comment made me sick!! Sick, sick, sick! Somebody needs to fix your head.


>> ^Farhad2000:
As someone who comes from a large medical family I believe births like these should simply be terminated. It is a life of utter misery and pain for the individual suffering it.
The partial kidney, missing bladder and fused extremities will mean this child will have to undergo operation after operation to simply lead a nominal life that we take for granted.
This is a fact alot of people simply refuse to face overcome with compassion that we can 'fix' defective births.

So, you think that somebody born with this condition doesn't have the right to exist? Fight the good fight like the rest of us? Yea, she's probably going to have a tougher time, but she still has capabilities. I mean if Steven Hawking's condition were determined while he was still in his mother's womb, should we have aborted him? People learn to cope with the cards they're dealt and we should leave it to them to make the choice to live or die.

Seriously, how and where he finds such deliciously f*cked-up $417, is beyond me.

Excuse me but can I be you for awhile?
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me--you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes
I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
Here... silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you?
My scream got lost in a paper cup
I think there's a heaven where the screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker, do you think it's enough
To get us there 'cause...

What if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey, but I don't care, 'cause sometimes
I said sometimes I hear my voice, and it's been
Here... silent all these years

Years go by, will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by, if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my hand
Years go by, will I choke on my tears
'Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty you know we're too easy, easy, easy

Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now, but baby don't look up
The sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
And it's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you
Here, take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them...

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of yours with her name still on it
Hey, but I don't care 'cause sometimes
I said sometimes, I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it's been here... silent all these years

I've been here... silent all these years
Silent
All these
Silent all these years

Just look back at all the controversy that popped up over the years with Disney. The penis building in The Little mermaid, the word SEX in the dust in The Lion King. Aladdin supposedly saying "Take off your clothes" to the tiger in... well...Aladdin.
Notably, Snopes found those urban legends to be false, undetermined, and false respectively.

I don't trust that site, I can PROVE one of his "False" claims is actually true.
This is the scene where the minister becomes "Aroused" as he so puts it.
If he's looking on the new released dvd's, then I doubt he'll be able to find some of the things mentioned, mostly
because it'd be edited out. However, the original VHS' may have a different story.

For the still non-believers, this is the scene in the movie
