Greatest hits from the FreeRepublic thread on Reeve's alleged death
What asshats!

To: staytrue
...I don't think chasing something you can't have is a bad thing. Sometimes the chase is more enlightening than the victory....

What he sought was not just out of his grasp. It was an impossibility. We should all reach further than our grasp but his efforts only hurt him. Don't let reality intrude on your poetic license though. He was never going to walk again because of the deterioration of his body. It wasn't going to happen. He could have spent his time and fame doing something helpful. Instead, he politicized medical research and harmed people.

He deserves compassion as a fellow human suffering but he took the gift we gave him and hurt people with it. I won't praise him for that.

1. Yeah

And it's impossible to fly vehicles that carry 400 people 35,000ft above the ground for thousands of miles... It's impossible for machines to do millions of mathematical calculations a second... The world is flat, too.

They'd still be brother and sister.

10. My God there are some inbred assholes on the internet
I was googling to see if I could find out more and found this!

Christopher Reeve is an asshole.

For those of you who don't know, Christopher Reeve is the guy who played "Superman" in all four coma-inducing movies during the 80's. Before I even get started about his injury, I'd like to point out that "the curse of Superman" is bullshit, and I'd love nothing more than to punch the guy who came up with it. Just like the E! True Hollywood Stories "curse of The Little Rascals," it's much publicized Hollywood trash. Half the time they try to pass off a tragic event due to a "curse," it turns out that the actors died at the age of 86. Yeah real tragic, dumbass. An actor got murdered or paralyzed after living a healthy youth? Excuse me while I shit myself in awe at the mysterious power of the curse
