Love to see how many employers pull random drug tests out of their pocket for these potheads on 4/21. I know mine was planning on it, and I'll guarantee that we lose at least 2 people for it.
Your job must be pretty mindless if your employer is cool with firing trained/experienced employees for stupid reasons. |

You can't just throw money at everything to solve it, some things are just that complex. You talk about cancer as if it was a simple ailment cured through enough mindshare and money. Cancer isn't just one thing, it's a broad range of malignant cell growth issues that span several different diseases. It has numerous causes and attacks many different organs in the body, it is a very complex thing to simply cure when we don't even fully understand everything about it yet. Do some research about it because you are incredibly uninformed.
you must have missed my original post. my mother died of metastatic cancer. we tried everything from chemo to radiation including the latest version of the gamma knife (called cyber knife in the east coast). went from one privately funded clinical study to another. doctors told us to try one drug after another with no effect. in the end we found a doctor in the west coast who has the highest survival rate even for stage 4 cancer. but my mother died before we could start the procedure. the very successful technique is not approved by the FDA or insurance companies. it is a very expensive procedure. which is why most of his patients are medical doctors and CEOs of large companies. so whats the controversial treatment? it involves cancerous tissue taken from the patient and growing it in the lab to test with various cancer drugs. the one that works best is given to the patient. all that came from one doctor who did not have billions of dollars and 75 years to develop. yet he came up with a very effective way of treating cancer. its so simple and obvious but no insurance company will cover the cost of the procedure. the recent study suggesting that there are 10 different types of breast cancer is a good reason for the aforementioned technique to become standard because a majority of oncologists simply shoot in the dark with their drug of choice and hope for the best. tell me again why money cant treat the disease because i am incredibly uninformed.

You struck me all right, struck me as one of the dumbest mother fuckers to post on this forum in a long time.

really? i said stop funding cancer research? i said get rid of redundancy. of all the different agencies involved in cancer research the NCI has not done a good job in the past 75 years.

thats the other part of the problem with cancer treatment. after 75 years with an average of 4.5 billion dollars annual budget the national cancer institute has nothing to show except quality assurance studies of chemicals submitted by drug companies. no cure, no progress... nothing. its work is duplicated by the CDC, NIH and get this the DOD. if govt has to immediately shut down a worthless institution it should be the national cancer institute.

By all means, zirik, go cure cancer. You sound like an extremely learned individual in matters of human anatomy, health, and molecular and cellular biology. I'm sure you'll cure cancer in no time at all!

| i totally agree with the article. the media should not be running feel good stories about a boy asking for charity to pay for dads chemo. they should be highlighting how the health care industry is making it more difficult to pay for treatment. almost 5 years since the death of my mom from cancer and we are still paying for her radiation and chemotherapy treatments. i cant imagine anyone who doesnt have the support of family/relatives paying for cancer treatment on their own. so true with what they said, if the cancer doesnt kill you the medical bill just might. |

i cant believe they lied to us
The scientists say it's all good and safe to eat, whew! Thank you big oil corporate funded scientists for clearing that up.
Most of the Titanic info is just a rehash of the incident but this documentary caught my attention, it's about the making of the 1943 version of "Titanic" in Nazi Germany.

little bit of contention regarding some of the historical accuracies in the comments section, but worth checking out if you can find it.
