Anyone else here watch it?
I think Glenn Close has done a great job so far - she's not hamming it up like I thought she would, and seems to be blending in with the rest of the cast nicely.
Aceveda apparently has serious issues - I got a feeling those rape pics he's in are gonna come out.
Vic's back on the street, and apparently Shane is heading for a brick wall.
All in all, I'm glad it's back - this truly is one of the best shows on TV right now.

Quote:The Jays Wrote:There are six major characteristics of life, and it looks like she can't do three of them; so, in my opinion, she's half way dead. She's been half way dead for years. She's been on fucking machines.
I honestly have no clue what these magical six things are. I've been racking my brain for minutes here. Is this a biological thing, or more day to day activities? Are we talking about feeding yourself, washing yourself, walking, talking, breathing, and something else?
Is this a known thing that I should Google or some Jaysism?
That said the obscurity of what the hell he meant, got me thinking, where do you draw the line at what is life and when is it expendable?
What rights do fetuses have to life? At what point does that right move from 100% the mother's to 100% the infant's? Conception, birth, or someplace in between? It's pretty tough to be logical unless you pick one of the two endpoints. Everything else is just arbitrary.
What rights to convicts have to life? Do you you believe in capital punishment at all? (not from a "does it deter crime" standpoint, but from a "is it morally justifyable" standpoint) If you do believe in it, what's the line someone has to cross. Does have to be murder or would rapes, molestations, warrant capital punishment? Does it have to be a type of murder, more than one at a time, more than one time?
What rights to animals have to life? Are there certain species that have a greater right to life than others? (unless you are a real wacko you will say yes) How does that get decided? Is it all mamals? Do they have to be a certain size, cuteness, or ability to be domesticated? Is the determination of an animal's right to life dependant upon what will be done with the carcass after it's killed? If I hack a pig to death on my front lawn and leave it there, there might be some animal cruelty/whatever citations, but if I have a roast, no so much.
What rights to vegetables/burdens have to life? Who's decision is that to make? Does the person have to have explicitly said that they want to be offed for it to occur? Can loved ones make the decision for them, if the person hasn't made their opinion clear (and then what? majority rules of family members?) If the decision is to be made based on the logic of "the person is wasting money and it's pointless to keep them around", why can't an Insurance Company make that decision since their the ones that actually pay the costs?

I know you guys used a softball field up north around Union City, maybe Pat can help me out with this. How did you go about getting permission to play there and who did you need to contact?

Is anyone scratching their head today wondering why the US Senate and Congress are ruling on the fate of a vegetable? Is anyone else troubled that the President of the US wasted taxpayer’s money flying to Washington from vacation just to sign a bill trying to keep a vegetable alive?
Where does it say in the Bible that if a person can't feed themselves and they are laying there like a dead fish that we are required to act on their behalf and keep them alive?
We have serious problems with education, taxes, a war, social security, a federal deficit and other issues. Congress can't act on any of those issues but by God, we can ram a law through to save a dead woman.
This religious right shit is getting out of hand. I even heard a story this morning that most malls around the country no longer refer to the Easter Bunny as the EASTER Bunny. They call him things like the Spring Bunny, or Hippity Hoppy the Bunny and other shit. Stop this crap!
