  • Really? Would you care to point out all of the other awareness campaigns for all of those that have a specifically designated, easily recognizable visual entity like the Pink Ribbon Campaign? No? Then shut up. This is a worthwhile cause and jackasses like you are not needed to admonish those who wish to create some awareness around it. God forbid we see some positivity.

  • Autism, several other cancers, AIDS. Why is breastfeeding cancer the only one being treated like it exists? Pancreatic cancer has at current an 8% survival rate, whereas cervical and breast cancer have like... a 75% survival rate. Any particular reason why the other causes are less to you?

  • Number one - it's not "breastfeeding cancer". That implies that breastfeeding is how one would get it, which is ridiculous. Number two - I've known a couple of people who have had breast cancer. The survival rate in those instance was 50%. So your stat doesn't hold up in my personal experience. And that will be different for everyone. Some may never have it impact them. I envy those people and really wish there were more of them. The entire point of my post is that someone made a gesture that should have been perceived as goodwill and positive, allowing the community to support (or not) a worthwhile cause using a vehicle that is easily identifiable (the pink ribbon campaign), and the comment to it was posted in a manner that simply blew it off completely: [quote]Then we'll need one for all other cancers, then one for aids, then one IBS, then one for ED, etc. Please.[/quote] Why bother posting this at all? Is there some point to it that is missed by this? What is the gain to being dismissive in this instance? Anything? I seriously doubt it. I felt my response equaled the statement based on its relative merit, so I posted it.

  • Whoa. Someone got pointlessly aggressive and attempted to have a one-sided argument. It's okay. I forgive you. <3
