Congress just gave away another $48 Billion to fight AIDS

You're talking about ALL, not AML.
AML has a very low rate of surivial.
And the rate you mentioned is not a "survival rate" it's the rate that patients are living longer than the expected 5 yr surival rate.
The reason there are better survival rates is because of bone marrrow transplants.

Now let's look at the other side of the coin. The rate of childhood leukemia is also more predominate than it was 30 yrs. ago.
Why, well take a look at what we feed our kids, the air they breathe and all the other enviromental factors.

And kids are just as important as anyone else who has cancer.
Kids do not take precendence over anyone else because they are kids.

We are only bringing up kids because people on this thread were arguing that some people deserve cures and treatment more than others. Personally, I think medicine should not be judgmental in who gets saved. So, I'm agreeing with you there.

Yes, ALL has a higher survival rate because of bone marrow transplants, which was a result of RESEARCH.

You just pwned yourself. I'm going to gift u a platinum membership so u can search for all of my posts taking about how we shouldnt have attacked Iraq, should stay away from Iran, and generally decrease our presence around the world.

The number of posts is probably above 100.

great. well, then I must have mistaken you for another gung ho meathead on here besides you.

Humans get sick, we cannot depend on the government to provide us with all the answers.

Aids is sad, all illness is sad and horrible, but when does it stop?

PRIVATE FUNDING VS INCREASED TAXES

Private Funding? How dare you insinuate that private funding cover the AIDS drugs for the monkey's who cannot stop fucking without condoms.

That would be politically incorrect.

Seriously, $48 Billion in tax revenue is the only way to go. In fact, take another 10% of my gross gains from last year and use it to feed the stupid fucks in Haiti who keep popping out more kids.

Well its a serious question that you can't answer.

We should pay for aids, herpes, cancer, ms, polio, pink eye, baldness, acne, the list goes on and on.

and, yes, I am for curing diseases. I'm AWFUL. LOL.

LOL...now I'm a bad mom? Really, can you not stick to an argument. You have to resort to being nasty. Also, last I checked, Digger said that insults about people's families were a bannable offense. I would tread lightly there, dickhead, if I were you.

He insulted you.

I wonder what he would have to say about you suggesting my grandfather deserved to suffer and die?

And LOL at you changing the subject to avoid a direct question then accusing me of doing the same.

And I didn't say you were a bad mother, but now that you mention it...

Aren't you being treated for a disease at the expense of socialized medicine? Should you not get treatment. I think you should. I like you.

Yes, but research mostly that was privately funded.
Well up in Canada anyway.

I didn't suggest that your family member should suffer or die. I suggested just the opposite. I was being sarcastic about YOUR point of view. Then again, Digger can read well, and you can't.
