| superchunk said: They should. While its made tons of money for research.. and a lot of fakes for people... its not appropriate. Would you let your kids walk around with bracelets that said "I Love Testies!" or "I Love Sack!" for testicular cancer research? ... or how about "I love the brown-eye!" for colon cancer? Its just disrespectful imo. I also don't understand why breast cancer gets so much attention over all the others... granted I do really love boobies... I mean I REALLLLLLY love boobies, so I'm glad they are being worked on. But, why is breast cancer so much more favored over all the others? |
Lol I'll take one of those "I love the brown-eye" bracelets just to troll the idiots at my university who wear the dumb boobies bracelet.
I also can't stand the favoritism that breast cancer seems to get either. Don't get me wrong, it is a horrible condition I am sure, but what about other far more prevalent diseases like diabetes (it amazes me how many people have no clue what it is when I have to explain it to them). Last I heard there were about 2.5 million women in the U.S. that have/had breast cancer where as the total number of diabetics in the world by 2030 will be about 350,000 million (well over the population of the entire U.S.) or more. Trust me it is an awful thing to live with even while I am in the prime of life ... I can only imagine how things will be 30 or 40 years from now considering that I and other diabetics are at double or triple the risk for virtually any illness or condition you can name.
I guess we just need a color or rather a new color aside from grey (fitting for the drudgery of life with the disease, but it is not exactly appealing for other people to rally behind), and bracelets that say "I love pancreases" ... too bad that is not as sexy/distracting as the breast cancer version.
