Cancer and the drug companies

[oldrider]

To be honest I don't know why anyone would even considering starting a thread like this on a motorcycle forum unless it was to grab attention or to wind people up.

In fairness to OP - this is Rant or Rave - it's not intended to be limited to motorcycles - it's the equivalent of pub talk and shit like that!

I.E. -
Forum: Rant or Rave

Talk about any non-motorbike stuff here.

Other posters score on KB?

Or indeed the scores of others who post on KB. Which is why I would never, ever, make such a sweeping statement as you did. It belittles everyone else.

It wasn't a sweeping statement, it was specific to knowing Katie and what she has been through and doing of late. At no time have I stated or implied that anyone else here does not have experience or qualifications to comment.

I lost a good friend to leukaemia at Christmas, my Mum to breast cancer when I was 11 and many more in the years in-between. My comment was aimed at the completely crass response from the OP as if this was some kind of pissing contest.

Sorry to hear of your experiences. I too, have lost family and friends to cancer and other awful diseases as, no doubt, have many members.

It is a serious subject and my posting the thread was to highlight the fact. These alt.cancer conspiracy theorists have a completely lop-sided and simplistic view which demeans the gravity of the disease, and unfairly criticises those Doctors, Oncologists and researchers who are working endlessly and genuinely to find a cure, or at least a treatment that is better for the patient.

You will have noted that any post of an appropriate nature gets my recognition, but I treat the idiots, who's sole agenda is to diss me personally, as they deserve.

No, that is exactly what it was.

By ignoring them completely and not mentioning how 'superior' to them you are in every post?

Apparently it has been known to happen.

My Dad died as a result of cancer.

But it was primarily the overdose of radiation he was given that led to his death.

But you just keep right on popping those pills your doctor prescribes Ed.

Would you care to elaborate?

Tramadol!!!, everyone knows, or have you forgotten?

What do you think?

I think you don't.

...Ed's puerile shit never bothered me, but now that Cassina has turned up and proven that some people should just step in front of a train, I have been given a point of reference...Ed is hovering at the same point as her...

Far be it from me to tell you how to be a good christian, but perhaps sympathy is more appropriate than narcissism when somebody tells you they have lost a loved one.
