I don’t drive, but honestly full service is better. It provides jobs and reduces risk of fire.

No money in death

Do you really think they're gonna stop at the terminally ill? They are gonna expand it to anyone who feels like ending it all. "Its their choice none of your bees wax" is a ridiculously simplistic defense of it too.

Agreed. I believe people who reach this stage in their lives will wish they extended this compassion to others

The state of Oregon has allowed this help for 20 years, providing a safe and comfortable end to what would be prolonged suffering.

I think looking to the states that have legalised death with dignity would be a better start. Which currently don’t have these reports of abuse. Canada and the states that allow physician assisted suicides have completely different parameters for who is eligible. In the states, it’s terminal illness.

Exactly. We treat dying animals better than our suffering, dying family members. It is sad.

No it’s not.

The newer gas stations are full and self service depending which pump you’re at

So what is allowing someone to actively suffer until their last moments?

You don’t believe that someone with a short life sentence, in a state of suffering, should get to decide for themselves when they are done fighting their illness? This isn’t a bill that just allows anyone to access life ending medication.

There are already states that have adopted death with dignity, that is a terminally I’ll person with six months or less to live. A person suffering, and dying shouldn’t have to suffer.

I totally agree!!

It’s probably a “you have to buy food with alcohol” type of place.

Seems counterproductive. Why not promote GED, trade school education or other forms of secondary education? Lol

He’s about to get stomped by Tony and Geno.

Hey Tony Geno there’s some mick goobah down the cornah with a shamrock on his Monahk. Send him back to Summuhville

There’s a lot of horrible diseases and cancers where comfort is not an option.

I don’t trust it. We’re already seeing in Canada situations where the problem would be solved by money instead of death. I could easily see, in the US, certain people be suggested to take this route

Rt 18 cumbies was my first thought. You use the smart pay app, select the right store and the right pump, and then sit there for 15 minutes to wait for the attendant while 7 other cars are waiting ahead of you.

Because adults in pain would be able to resolve their suffering? There are some serious issues in the family in that story. That the mom immediately started nonsense on FB when she found out instead of talking to her son raises all sorts of red flags.

I've totally pumped my own gas before at the cumbies on route 18

Why not both? Watching someone still suffering receiving palliative care on a death sentence is not currently helping. Someone who is seeking mercy should receive it. Being pumped full of drugs just simply to keep your heart beating is not living, and those that wish not to simply exist shouldn’t have to…especially while suffering

On our first road trip during college, my good friend stopped at a gas station near campus and just sat there. We asked her what she was waiting for and she said, “For the man to come out and pump the gas.” We were completely bewildered because that’s not a thing in Va. she grew up in… Huntington NY. She’s never pumped her own gas

Sort of but not completely. Although Bull Spit Brewery is closed now, they had a license for a while. Also I think the diner by the train tracks has a license.

From what I've heard, it's a racket, and not one that is going to go quietly.

The one time I stopped on the Garden State Parkway to fill up, we had to wait for the attendants to get done with whatever illegal substances we totally didn't witness them inhaling and stumble their way back from the side of the garage.

These are definitely jobs that they can't just randomly hire and fire people, if you know what I mean.
