knight_shadow, I was being sarcastic. I said "blame our justice system", because if she would have gotten back what she did to others, she would have never gotten brain cancer.

I didn't quote her post nor did I read it. I saw that on the news when Susan died.

It's hard to read sarcasm in the heat of a debate.

And the bolded implies that the justice system caused her cancer.

Finally, we agree on something. I also have that right. "Just a little FYI"

That's been clarified now. Sorry to confuse you.:)

I didn't say you didn't. However, quoting where I said I don't support the death penalty, then adding a bitchy little comment, implies that my points are invalid because I don't believe in the death penalty.

Besides, you still haven't cited your source where Susan Atkins had a child while in prison. All I could find was that she had conjugal visits.

For the record, I guess that was what I said that incited all this craziness. It's a legitimate question - I was really trying to find out if she actually had another child. Seeing as I (maybe mistakenly) mentioned a child that would know her in my first post in this thread.

I didn't quote your post. Susan Atkins first child was born in October 1968, and his name was changed to Paul. Charles Manson delivered the child and gave him that (the 1st name, not Paul) name. I did not quote your post. This information can be found in other sources other than your post.

Click the link. It's a link to YOUR POST, in which you QUOTED ME, and spewed some BS about me never having read a book when it was apparent that I already knew what you were trying to be judgmental about BECAUSE I SAID IT IN THE POST. THAT YOU QUOTED.

All of your comments towards me are bitchy. That's the only time you chat with me is when you have something negative to say to me.

She had a son in October of 1968, she also had a son after that. I'm not sure if it was from her 1st or 2nd husband. Tex Watson who also participated in the murders had not only one but two kids while in prison.

I quoted your post when I clearly saw it on the news? Seriously???

Where did you read that? The articles I've read since she died mention the one son that she had in 1968.

Can you please link your source that said she had two kids? I'm dead serious. I can't find anything, unless I missed something on her wikipedia page, and I'm genuinely curious.

And for the record, the only part of my second post in this thread that was directed at you was asking for that source. The rest was general.

ETA: I'm sorry, I also directed the comment about free healthcare being necessary at you, but only because you were the one who said that she shouldn't have had it.

ETA: I edited that post to reflect what "you" was directed at cheerfulgreek, and what "you" was not directed at anyone in general. That was my bad, I didn't realize how unclear that sounded.

ETA: I still don't think this was anything to fly off the handle about. But it's really funny that you (cheerfulgreek) are calling me a bitch, now.

Look at posts #19 and #20. Just go look at them. They're on page 2. Read them, every single word.

Seriously.

Just as a general rule - it's never a good idea to make assumptions about the life experiences of others. Honestly, you don't know what agzg has/hasn't gone through.

Debate is fine, but there are limits...
