20 seconds to help fight breast cancer....it's free!!

[Frankie Hess]

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram.
It takes 20 seconds to go to their site and donate a mammogram for free!


Just click HERE (www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2) then click the pink box that says "Click here to give-it's free" and you're done!! FREE!!

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate a mammogram in exchange for advertising.


Pass it along to people you know.


If this is in the wrong place, or is controversial at all, please remove or move this thread with my apologies mods.

Thanks Frankie

As an added note...along the top of the page there are several other tabs you might as well click on to donate. Surely none of us hate puppies or reading or the rain forest right? The numbers are actually up. 11.4 square feet of rain forest for each click and .6 cups of animal food...I know the food was down to .4 some time back.

I have been doing this for years. If you set it up as your home page it is super easy to remember to do every day.

Thanks for the added input!!!!^^^^^^^^

I don't want to come off as a jerk, but why is it always breast cancer ? Why are there pink ribbons everywhere on tons of food products ? Why don't we just have a campaign against cancer in general, is there really a need to sub-catagorize it ? How come there are not any ribbons for prostate cancer, what about brain cancer or skin cancer...

Please don't think I am being anti anti-breast cancer, I just dont see why it has to be for a specific type. Let's work on fighting cancer, of all types, togeather as a team.

[CripSkillz]

all types would be great...

[Frankie Hess]

Beats me, I just have a few good friends that lost loved ones to breast cancer and one of them posted this bulletin on my space today so I figured I would throw it up here. Seemed fast and easy to be supportive, seems to me st. judes fights "cancer" in general. If they find cures for the children they have them for everyone correct?

Why is the sky blue and ice cold?

[Pilgrim]

I provide free breast exams for ladies 18 and over...:D

I'm only 16....... please don't let it stop ya :(

Breast Cancer is one of the most common types of cancer and they have fairly good success rates with curing it. Most importantly, someone started the Susan G Komen foundation and kept it going. You will notice that pretty much ALL funds for BC go there.

The rate of BC keeps growing...in large part due to the hormones in our food. They are only just now starting to do studies about the effects of all that shit in our food. The rate of twins has increased by over 50% since the 80s. And once again, they attribute it to the hormones we eat...creepy.

And y'all got Cialis and Viagra...now it is our turn.

That is of course a joke and I hope y'all know that men get breast cancer too.

"I don't want to come off as a jerk, but why is it always breast cancer "

I'm not anti-supporting other types of cancer research and prevention, I'm jsut very pro-breasts.

Or what Butterflybobs said. She is much wiser than myself.

[Frankie Hess]

Saw Palmetto (i think that's how you spell it), avoid caffeine and alcohol, don't sit on shit like bike seats that are hella skinny for long periods of time. Preventative maintenance!!!!!!!!!!!

what about my prostate...

Scientific studies have shown that men who have anal sex (as in getting fucked, not fucking other people up the ass) have significantly lower rates of prostate cancer. This is why doctors often recommend prostate massages for older men.

Prostate cancer is an extremly common type of cancer as well and here in Australia skin cancer is the number one type of cancer. Also if there are fairly good success rates with curing one type of cancer, wouldn't it make sence then to start devoting funds and attention to other types of cancer ? I am not making it a gender thing, in fact the opposite, I don't like things that are sub-categorized by gender, which is what they are doing with cancer.

[quote]And y'all got Cialis and Viagra...now it is our turn.

Never needed them, tried viagra once while trying something else, just to see what it would do. Women can take viagra too in fact I have more female friends that take viagra recreationally at parties as it sends blood to the clit and makes it more sensitive and aroused.

Anyone else ever wonder about these sites? This is the third site I've been told about in the last month. The other two involve answering questions to either feed people, or to save the rain forest. My question is, where is all this money coming from that helps these causes? Why does it take our clicking on a website to help people? Does it actually do anything? Why don't the people giving the money just give it without us clicking? Is our clicking on a stupid website worth so much that they won't give people mamograms, or food, or save our world without us clicking? I don't get it. Not that I won't click it, it's just sad.

I have often thought that exact same thing, it's why I don't like all these food products with pink lables on them, it's just marketing, these mega corporations don't give a shit about breast cancer all they care about is company profits for the share holders and they know that by putting a pink ribbon on a bag of M&Ms or a pink top on a bottle of water that they will sell a ton more and that then they can donate a tiny fraction of their profts to breast cancer and everyone will think they are this great and caring company of the people and thus more people will buy more of their product and thus more profit. They are the equivilant of a yellow ribbon on an SUV.

If they really were altruistic and cared about breast cancer they would just donate the money and not base the amount they dontated on how much of a product they sold. Also the most noble charity giving is that of giving anonymously. The fac that these corporations want recognition for being charitable shows that they are doing it just for the PR.

On a related note, I personally have always thought that in a wealthy nation that there should never ever be a need for charities of any kind. Any country that spends money on things like the war, the military in general and the war on drugs has chosen to make those things a funding priority over things like cancer & AIDS research, disaster relief, homelessness, health care and education.

It really pisses me off that we are told that as the public we are supposed charitably give away the little money we have to fund all these things, yet the government is spending trillions on the war for oil, the war on terror and billions on a drug war.

What's that lady ? Oh, I am sorry your dying of cancer, we had to spend several billion developing a new smart missle or stealth bomber to kill people, maybe the citzens will give what little change they have to help you out, but you better have a "fun run" or buy some some pink ribbon products...

What's that little billy, your school doesn't have enough money for lab equipment for the science room, we had to spend a billion dollars putitng pot smokers in jail, but maybe the school can hold a bake sale and then spend all the money on the new uniforms for the football team.

This is why I don't beleive in charities, they are a joke, not because they exists, the meaning behind them is well intentioned and they make a difference, but the difference is small. They piss me off because they shouldn't need to exist at all and it seems like no one recognizes that. Simply, divert funds from the military to all the other things that charity is currently providing for, in my opinion it really is that simple. The knee jerk response to that usually is but spending money on the war for oil, war on terror, war on drugs does some good, it protects our country so that things like 9/11 does not happen. Well 9/11 did happen regardless of having the best and most expensive military in the world and the war on drugs/terror are complete failures and waste of money and the war for oil only makes it worse. You want to know what the real solution to all this is ? Because I know...

Countries should have the following government funded wars:
War on Cancer/AIDS
War on Homelessness
War on Education Problems
War on Health Care Problems
and so on and so forth, I bet it would make a huge difference

And just imagine if the USA devoted the trillions spent on the war towards Cancer/Aids and thus were able to cure it. Do you have any idea how fucking amazing and increcible it would make the USA look. You guys would be the country that cured the biggest medical problem and killer of people in the world, you would be the most loved country in the world, everyone would look up to the USA and say "wow, those people have really got their shit togeather, they spent money on the important things and made the biggest difference to humanity in history" and so on and so forth.... Isn't that worth it ?
