eta.. I just re read your original post...Do you really think they are against women who have had breast cancer or women in general?? Thanks.. I needed a good laugh this morning.

Do you think it is a direct opposition towards women who have suffered with breast cancer, or just women in general? Â Just curious-Â
I don't think it's either. I don't own a pink shirt, but that doesn't mean I 'oppose women to suffer or have suffered from breast cancer or just women in general'. |

| I really don't have time to worry about what a person is wearing. I don't try to rationalized why or why not someone made the choices they made. I teach in a drug rehab unit, that is called CHOICES by the way, and if I rationalized on why those guys made certain choices it would be a mind boggling thing, and a total waste of time. I usually use my energy to make someone's day a little better. BE THE REASON SOMEONE SMILED TODAY. |

Location: hillsboro mo. | I work with a man who lost his very young wife to breast cancer a few years ago. He feels there is so much attention on breast cancer at some point people stop noticing the seriousness of the issue.He feels its overhone and hates all the pink/events. I don't know if I agree but that is the feelings of someone who has suffered a great deal from breast cancer.

Your comment is ignorant... I am not hiding behind anything.. If you post on a public forum don't be shock by how people respond, if it's just to much for you perhaps this forum isn't for you. |

| Instead of assigning motive to someone who you have never met, who did not make a statement regarding why they only wore a bandana or not enough pink, why don't you message them and ask? As NJJ said, your statement was a cheap shot. Do you really think the 2 choices you gave are the only options? It seems like you are looking at things with a very narrow view point trying to make things fit in your agenda or how you personally see the world.

Oh my goodness- a simple no I don't think so would have been sufficent- lol! Â I put this same comment on my Facebook page and got alot more insightful comments.

Hmmmm, so let me get this straight.
Since I despise pink, I hate women and particularly women with breast cancer (which includes one of my 6, yes count them, 6 sisters).
You believe everything you read on Facebook.
I do not advertise my identity on here because I value my privacy, not because I have anything to hide. I refuse to give my Social Security number every time it is asked for, unless there is a VALID reason to give it. The hospital does not get it from me, nor the random drug testing facilities nor many others who ask for it. My husband and I have followed this policy for our entire lives and had people ask us what we had to hide. NOW, people have to be TOLD to protect their personal information.
I reluctantly broke down and got a FB account, but it is not in my real name, nor does it have my real birthday on it. I use it to follow some of my "friends" who don't bother to call anymore because they live their lives on FB and assume that everyone else does too. I put very little of my personal info on there and really resent when family or friends put my business on there for the world to see. When my mare died my niece thought that she was being nice by posting it, when it was a very private thing for
me at the time. I did not want or need people feeling sorry for me. I have a problem with having to find out that someone passed long after the fact and nobody bothered to call because "it was all over Facebook". I also have a problem with missing an event because "it was on Facebook, I thought everyone knew". Ummmm, if you don't have the right circle of "friends" you STILL don't get to know. I cut my "friends" on FB off at about 35 as there is too much crap on my feed anyways. how on Earth does anyone keep up with the feed of hundreds or even thousands of so called "friends", most who they would not give the time of day to in real life.
So I got off topic a bit...sorry. Just wanted to make a point about assumptions people make without being privy to information that may not be ANY OF THEIR FREAKIN BUSINESS! |

| my husband mother is a breast cancer survivor and he fully supports the cause. however I am certain he will never wear pink. It has nothing to do with how he feels about the cause or his mom. |

How bout breat cancer is not the number 1 cause of death in women...... But one would think it is.....js.
As for wearing pink....or not.....how about follow the donation that's where the support starts not a stupid color wore on a certain night.
I agree, breast cancer is not the only cancer that kills women, all cancer is bad. |
