Let's be honest here. She posted that she "couldn't wait for him to
die so that she could inherit all of his war memorabilia". And that
was prior to her posting that he was ill with Alzheimer's. It was not
clear to multiple people that the comment was sarcastic, especially
since she justified the statement in multiple posts later that day. It
wasn't until well AFTER people commented on her lack of ethics that she
claimed it was sarcasm. It's all in the archive.

Ok so let me get this straight. You actually BELIEVE that Jill is counting the hours
for her father to die, so she can have his war memorabilia? Seriously?

What part of grieving do you not get? What on earth makes you think you're qualified
to judge what is right or wrong? YOU are not the one living through it. She is.

Here's a couple things you might consider, if you think yourself capable:
*The stress of having someone you love fall apart before your very eyes, particularly
when you can do NOTHING to help/prevent it is enormous and affects different people
different ways
*If my father was suffering a fatal illness, suffering untold humiliation and
indignities, I may very well wish him dead as well...because I believe what comes
after this would be far greater than what he'd be suffering here. That is NOT
disrespectful in the least. It's called compassion. Try it sometime.
*If you are so offended by her (or anyone else's for that matter) comments, you have
the option not to read them, rather than spew viciousness at people for simply
disagreeing with your take on the subject. You've attacked several people with your
poorly developed language skills for no reason other than they didn't agree with how
you felt about Jill's post.
*I know you represent yourself to be so very above saying anything along the lines of
what Jill said (though from your posts here I find it near impossible to believe you
wouldn't say worse), the fact is you have NO idea what you would do in her situation
if for no other reason than that you are not in her situation. It is very easy to wax
poetic about how you'd respond in the same circumstance, but the fact of the matter
is, until you're in it you cannot say.

In reading all of your posts in this thread, it is clear you have a deep-seated
issue, and I hope that you are able to work through it well enough to spare people
who love you from ever being exposed to the ease at which you can put forth such
mind-numbing hatred towards another human being.
