Medical Hope for "Brain Dead"

[Pat Mustard]

With all due respect... if only because you're a fantastic poster (one of my favorites on AF in fact!)... I wouldn't call him a liar. He often comes across as disingenuous but I wouldn't say he's necessarily an all out liar at all.

I tend to always refrain from calling people liars without evidence. Neo says things that are untrue B.S. all the time. Do I think he necessarily doesn't believe the shit he says? I'm not so sure. I can't really sincerely claim him to be a liar without feeling like I need evidence that he doesn't believe his own B.S. And how could I get evidence of that? Believing ridiculous shit when you're a theist is at least as likely, if not more likely, than not really believing it but lying about it. How the hell would I know what he 'really believes'?

Or maybe he doesn't believe it but he believes he believes it. Belief in Belief basically. But still... not exactly lying.

Nah, he's a liar. The title of this thread is proof enough of that. He deliberately changed "vegitative state" to "brain dead" to push his agenda. Anybody who was just posting an article for the value of said article would have left the wording alone.
