going to see War of the worlds yesterday…a woman is waiting in front of the theaters…wearing a LiveStrong band and the pink one for breast cancer…and
smoking!!!
wanted to go tell her to take the bloody bands off…
Maybe she is making the ultimate sacrifice and plans on donating her f’d-up lungs to cancer researchers some day?
No…probably not.

good intentions, poor execution.
not exactly the smartest person … btw how was war of the worlds?
it was pretty good. Somehow, I expected more…not sure what…maybe I had been waiting to see it for too long…but it was an excellent movie…
the great american way.
do as i say, not as i do…
do as I say not as I do is not American, it’s international 
.
Why should she take the bands off? She, I assume, paid for them. The money she handed over, again, I assume, went where it was supposed to go: to the researcher who are trying to find a cure for cancer. Isn’t that what the bands are all about? If, for some reason I won’t assume to know, she continues to smoke how does that impact the whole band thing? Don’t post a whole lot of drivel about cancer awareness, blah, blah. Stick to her right, having paid/contributed her money, to wear those bands.
indeed, people have the right to be complete idiots.
" indeed, people have the right to be complete idiots."
Now, now, no need to be so very hard on yourself. Even if your post WAS somewhat ill-considered that doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.”
The bad thing is that to judge intelligence all you have is your brain…
“The bad thing is that to judge intelligence all you have is your brain.”
Yes. All I have is my brain. And what is it you’ve been using?
He makes enigmatic comments like that every so often. It is just a way to make extra posts as he attempts (with great futility) to close in on Tom D.
I always thought smokers wearing Livestrong bands were simply investing…
I feel bad for you going to see “War of the Worlds”; after all that bad rap on Tom Cruise and all…
Dude that was too funny! I now must wipe H2O off my keyboard
“Why should she take the bands off?”
Because if she continues to smoke, the 5$ or so she spent on the wrist bands will pale in comparison to the costs of treating her lung cancer. Additionally, the wristbands are not just about donating money. They’re also about being a symbol of support for the fight against cancer which it’s kind of hard to be when you’re puffing secondhand smoke into other people’s faces.
Thank you…futile attempt to convince Frank13 though…
Yea, like a Hedge Fund maybe?
I had a similar experience last week. One of those bike/car stories, so I’ll try not to waffle on here… but…. Basically what happened, and I promise, it is relevant to the bands thread here…
Riding home my usual way from work. Roadworks on one side of road (not mine). I’m just entering the short section as a small car in opposite direction approaches. Now I’m in the roadwork section and he speeds up and drives on my side of the road straight towards me. I end up in the ditch. I wouldn’t normally go after him, but he pulls into a driveway 2 doors down from where I am. So I think, “This guy’s really stupid”. It was a boy racer car (tiny jobby) with three up in the back.
I stop on the road at the end of his drive. 30s later he gets out and walks so I can see him – looking at me like wtf. So I ask him if he owns a driving license (he looks about 15). He says ‘Yeah’. So I say well you don’t drive like it. He says ‘What’s your problem’. So I explain to him that he just nearly killed me and that perhaps he should read the highway code where he will find that actually, he was in the wrong.
In walks B’FUG (Big Fat Ugly Guy).
B’FUG “What the F’ do you want”
Me “Oh sorry, I don’t think we’ve met, were you in the car just now”
B’FUG “No, this is my house”
Me “Oh, then you won’t know what I’m talking about” turning to driver “So, would you mind driving a little more carefully in the future”
B’FUG “What the F’ you talking about. Get off my F’ing land”
Me “Sorry, what? Your land? Oh, I think you will find this part of the road belongs to the council”
B’FUG “What the F’ you laughing at. I suggest you F’ off before I punch your lights out”
Me “Ok so, firstly this has nothing to do with you, and now you’re threatening to hit me. Why?”
B’FUG “Nice shorts”
Me “Oh, glad you like them”
B’FUG “No you look like a tw**”
Me . “Why are you wearing that band?”
B’FUG “So are you”
Me “Do you know what the Lance Armstrong Foundation is?”
B’FUG “No, and what the F’ is an Ironman?”
(I’m wearing my IM Brazil top)
Me “Well, if you got off your fat arse and did some exercise, then type into Google Lance Armstrong, and then Ironman, you’ll find out. Oh, and by the way, nice pair of diamond earrings!”
