Because David means 'god-given'. Or at least that's how he comes
across.
Perhaps David should never have used the 'god given' expression 
if he didn't mean it.

What you think is just your opinion.

How can I be Jan? I did say please!


>Unless of course you are willing to support freedom of speach.


What? Like you are supporting freedom of choice?

I'm quite happy for you and David to have opinions. That's your right.
Try reading the whole thread before saying otherwise.

It's your belief that no one is allowed choice that annoys me.

The choice to voluntary end your own life in particular.
You have no right to deny me, or anyone else, that choice.
