Men may weep openly today.

Here's the thing, though... simply having a particular gene doesn’t automatically create a fixed outcome. Gene expression and how cells react to the loads placed on them is something else entirely, and not well understood. I support "support" for cancer research and for people fighting the disease, but there are many factors that play into the likelihood of developing cancer of any sort.

The way I see this thread, there is a bunch of insensitive bastards here who have no idea what a woman goes through when this has to be done. It's a physical thing as well as a mental thing. Years ago, before the research of The American Cancer Society and The Susan G Komen foundation, she would have had to have actual cancer show up and put her much much higher risk of loosing her life. Now they have ways to detect things and predict things so the survival rate is much higher. Me myself and glad she was able to have something done. I sport a pink ribbon on my rig, because of my support and participation in The Susan G Komen Race for life.

I'm not trying to be the asshole here. I've seen much more insensitive things posted about people based on their race, nationality, sexuality, or any number of other traits they have no control over. My statement was a jab at men who, unfortunately, see her as nothing more than a set of breasts. To many men, this will be like losing a national monument! I am aware of and sensitive to the plight of women (and men) with breast cancer. Yes, it can affect guys, too. Imagine the changes that could be made if the millions of dollars spent by folks just wanting to ogle her on the big screen had been directed towards cancer research. If the money corporations have made by painting a product pink had actually made it into the hands of the scientists doing the work. We have boner pills sponsoring NASCAR cars, but all cancer research gets is a pink ribbon. Yeah, there's some jackass comments being made, but that's life. However, if it made a few people think more about the subject, then some good can come of it. I sympathize with anybody suffering with cancer. We've all lost someone to it. I hate that it takes somebody like that to be a spokesperson for the cause. She's not led a life I'd like my daughter to mimic, but if her publicity makes it possible for my daughter to grow up in a world where the threat of breast cancer is no more, then I thank her for coming out with this.

how's the weather up there on your high horse? for your information my mom had breast cancer and so did my aunt. I went to the hospital and I saw first hand what it does. I saw her lose her hair and wear wigs. I also saw how sick the treatment made her and spent time just holding her hand and trying my best to do whatever I could to ease her discomfort. So how about you take your comment and shove it directly up your ass. deep. tell you what, how about you go and fire up another cigarette and tell me how you sympathize with all the ladies out there while you shine up your pink sticker on your bought rig and think up some other bullshit to spew on the internet.

So AJ might have removed her boobies for naught ?................brilliant. I wonder how much this gene testing cost and can anyone afford it? or does Ozzama care or any insurance cover it, or if peeps might be denied coverage on potential future gene related diseases due to possible pre-existing conditions revealed w the testing??

You are so right. She has great legs too. IMO she's a butterface, everything looks good but her face.

Everything that's going on in the world and the milk bags of a woman who adopts her children is the headline story? Ridiculous............

Who gives a shit about this modern day Jane Fonda? Fuck her.

Yeah, what a stupid slut. Cant believe she would adopt a kid or ten...GASP! There sure are some fucking idiots in this thread. Whats wrong with adopting? And whats wrong with preventative medical treatment. The gene she had comes with 80+% chance of having breast cancer. If I had that high a chance of having testicular cancer I would have some fake balls for sure. You guys should think about how stupid your comments sound before you post. And for anyone who wants to bash me for this statement, fuck you ahead of time.....
 
I am the bride to Paul and I will speak now!! First off that was very rude there McCraken, very rude. Chip was making a statement cause he actually cares beyond the breasts...I have been through a lot and gonna need another masectomy, it's not all about loosing hair, chemo, radiation, sick but your self esteem which is the hardest to deal with...I felt so ugly and so ashamed of myself, even for awhile I would not let no one see me not even my husband. Breast cancer is a horrible thing and yes they can test to find out if you can get it, as a matter of fact my daughters will be tested cause they get it from both sides of our families. Boobs are guys things but just respect them a little more, it hurts sometimes to hear things about boobies and I ignore it but later go hide and cry cause 1 of mine is gone and the other will be soon. Very hard us who has battled this, and do not like to see crap on here about this....I am a giving person and tough but to go through breast cancer is the worst ever for me...And YES I have huge Pink Ribbon on mine and my wheels are pink and more pink...I can make you a pink stick if you want to put it somewhere!!! Just sad what I read on here...Karma is bad!!! AKA.."PINKY"

To be honest, you were not one of the ones who I would have directed my statement to. I didn't see anything offensive in anything you wrote. So seeing how you have experienced first hand the affects, then I am sure you can see the insensitivity in a lot of the comments. Yeah I bought my rig, or at least part of it. So? Sorry I don't do the ass thing, but if that's how you roll, your choice. And yes, I do sympathize with any and all ladies who have had to go through this. I have many friends who have, and it can be very devastating to say the least. And also, yes, when I do wash my Jeep, I do wash the sticker too. I usually do smoke a cigarette while I wash it.

My point was that this is not headline news. It happens to many women every day and never makes news, but because she's been in some dumb movies, it's news. It wasn't a shot at women with breast cancer, women with the predisposition for breast cancer, parents who adopt, etc. Stop being so fucking sensitive.

I am rude. you'll learn that and then you'll learn just to get over it. i am sympathetic to women who have gone through this. I've given my money, time and support to many Walk for Cures, pink trinkets and other stuff. I'm not going to try and tell you how to deal with your situation. If that's the way it makes you feel then there's nothing I can do for you. That's a personal inner battle you'll have to figure out. If Angelina was my neighbor I'd go offer help. I'm just like that. Just like if you were my neighbor but you're not. I'm sorry I don't go around seeking to help every single person that's ever had cancer. I guess Karma's going to kick my ass one day but you won't have to worry about that since I know you have helped all those people. I'll take that pink stick too, since you offered an all. I've got a great place to put it. Thanks for thinking of me.

that's the problem. people take the internets way too seriously and then they turn a fun thread into a moral high ground. I commend your spirit to the funny and ask that you press on.

It's just not worth the tears. The chuckles and awareness it brought to the situation may have done some good, but I'm afraid the feelings it hurt outweigh the good. I've got a dark sense of humor, and I typically weigh my comments very carefully before I post them. This time I guess my filter wasn't working right. I don't want to think that when somebody meets me, this is the first thing they think of. I'm not a misogynist. I don't make fun of sick people. I just saw a perspective on a situation that wasn't covered in the article, and I thought it was a lighter side.

The assumption is that if we live long enough, we'll all get cancer someday. I smoke, weld, paint and work fiberglass without a respirator, drink, don't wear sunscreen, and probably have a genetic predisposition to it. I hope that if and when I get it, I'll be able to find some humor in it. Otherwise, I'll probably just off myself. I want to laugh while I'm alive. And when I'm gone, I want people to laugh when they remember me, not cry. So this will be coming down soon.
 
Hell no leave this thread up so people can read this!!!
And to you McCraken LMAO or shall I say BOOBS off!!! You are careless and sick!!
I applaud to the woman on which this thread was about, to care enough for those children which she adopted is a great thing...And to all that have "removed" their breast(s) in case and adopted a child or more!!
And for the internet...some may read things the wrong way...My point is I know men love boobies just have a little more respect about them!!

I will not think that of you at all, keep it up so others can see this...Now one person is pissing me off but I will survive!!
