Breast cancer is a sham. It's only reason for circulation is the words breasts and pandering to feminists.

You about lung cancer, or brain cancer?

Fuck the people who support this.
The hell? Breast cancer is a "sham"? I know women who have had it. It is most certainly not a sham. And men can have it too, though it's much more rare than in women.

But I find the idea of a month dedicated to a certain cancer somewhat silly. I say have a month for all of them rather than have a month for various kinds. The only cancer awareness month that gets much publicity is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Holy crap, you're actually taking this seriously! Here I thought I would have to pander to Bay12's topic derailness-es.

Anyway, cancer in all forms is insidious. Even giving attention to at least one in the end still gives much needed attention to all other forms (albeit in a small way, but it's something!). With that last sentence, you really should have said "fuck all breast cancer research." To spite you, I shall now type in pink forever! HAHAHA!


Though seriously, explain yourself. I don't want to have to already lock a new topic.

He means that there exists a societal double standard about this, with pandering to a cancer that is primarily a problem for women over all other types and using the sexual appeal of breasts to lure men into it. And he's right, there is a double standard about it, same as there being focus beyond reason given to Black History Month and no real attention being payed to White Heritage Month (which actually exists, apparently, and according to the list is September). I think all the months being devoted are stupid, and we shouldn't really have them. It's a pointless distraction to make people feel better about the existance of Breast Cancer and to give the idea that they are somehow helping when they aren't.

That is understandable. I suppose no one enjoys double standards. I just wish that it came from Ninteen in the first place.

It's been reported that one major cause of breast cancer is the collection of carcinogens in the lymphatic system caused by too-tight bras.

Therefore I will dedicate this month to removing the bras from as many women as possible and giving them thorough examinations.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
