I dare you to read every one of my posts, and then tell me what I think about calling people retarded.
Oh, and comparing retarded to cancerous... genius.
Houston has the best eye cancer centers in the country.

The articles I linked to were news items, not opinion items. Anyone can write an article on what cancer centers actually treat retinoblastoma using a specific treatment that can be chosen. But I guess it's true that it takes the reader to believe that 2+2=4.

Let's see...retardation and child cancer...let's see...both are unavoidable, generally genetic disorders, especially in children...yeah, the comparison is legitimate. I guess using one for laughs is okay because it's more socially acceptable to do so.
This might be the worst comparative argument I've ever read.

Explain. Again, both aren't preventible, especially cancers like retinoblastoma in children. So, I assume, you think it's okay to make a joke rooted in someone's child having cancer, but not okay to make a joke rooted in someone's child being retarded?

HUge difference between CHOOSING where you want to go as a FA and being traded. Besides, his daughter might be completely healed at this point. I was one of the biggest Fisher critics and called him disingenuous on a few occasions. But it's time to let it go, especially since this was a trade.
You are right, I am wrong.
I take it all back.
I also have now changed my mind about Fisher.
Thank you.

Who is Fisher?
From what I've seen, the lakers have been rollin without a PG and SF all season long.

What's intriguing is the last 2 notable trades with the Lakers were made by Memphis's Jerry West, and now Byron Scott of the Cavs. Both former guards for... none other than the LA Lakers. West's trade netted them Pau Gasol. I used to kinda like Sessions, thought we could use him. Now I have to hate him and hope he s..ks...

Beings that we all have such easily accessibility to information, you should know that the Pau trade was orchestrated by Chris Wallace

I laughed. The joke isn't funny because of cancer - it's funny because of Fisher's pleading to go to a New York city for their treatment center (which ended up being LA). And now heartless LA trades him away from a city that was treating his daughter (or was she still being treated in NYC anyway?)
When I heard he was traded to Houston my first thought was - Will he now ask Leslie Alexander to let him out of his contract, again for the sake of his daughter?
I hate Fisher. I hated that the Jazz traded Owens and Mcleod for him - That's how much I hated him. I hated seeing him in a Jazz uni and I was glad he wiggled his way out of his Jazz contract. But I still hate him, on or off the team. Him and Kobe are the two people that will keep me out of heaven. It has nothing to do with his daughter.

Nah, the real joke is using your kid's cancer to go back to your favorite team.

Leave the guy alone. Do you have daughter with a life threatening disease? And If you answer yes and can still dog him for this than you have some soul searching to do.
