    More tin hat.
    Really?

    It's right there in the publication.

    Real question, how do expect people to take your posts with any seriousness when you post vague accusations like that? "I don't know but it's gotta be cause people are suspect?" That's what you've got?

    @EvgeniZyntx

    Fair call :smile:

    This probably wasn't the correct thread or topic to base my assumptions on. And no I didn't look into who funded the studies on Red meat, because in all honesty I don't care.

    I think I was projecting my suspicions on those aspartame studies into this thread.. If I read one more post from someone saying they guzzle 10 cans of diet soda a day and on top of that have no problems letting their kids slam em down aswell, my head will explode!
    So, I apologise for running off on a tangent, this was not the thread for it.

    there are different branches of medical charities that cater towards different things. Some cater more to research, some cater to giving home support, some cater to practicalities and providing quality of life improvements.

    All you need to do is shop around to find the most appropriate charity. Perhaps a vision impairment charity would have been more appropriate

    *edit* a quick look on wiki for MS shows a total of 15 US charities in the US and 6 in the UK, so when you say "the MS nonprofit" in all likelihood you reached the one that didn't meet your needs. You can't hold that against them.

    Actually, it doesn't matter. It is not in these charities' best interests to discover a cure, as that would cut off their donation supply (of which most of which is spent on administrative costs, not research or any other actual help to the people who are suffering). Oh, my, if they discovered a cure, all those administrators would be without jobs!

    Don't shoot me down for this... But there is a theory that the government does not want to cure cancer, they make millions from the medications people have to be on to keep them alive. Not to mention the astronomical amount of people who die everyday from cancer related illnesses keeps the population to a more manageable level..

    I'm not saying this is true or not, it does seem pretty far out. It was just a heated discussion in the office the other week.

    It sounds sadistic, but it really does seem with all the millions of dollars that people contribute, that surely a cure could have been found for the diseases that are killing us now. When polio affected thousands of people, a cure was nearly immediately found and not by a nonprofit agency collecting donations.

    Yeah. I bet there would be no money to be made with a cure for cancer.

    And a vaccination against the polio virus is super comparable to curing the myriad types and causes of cancer. I guess, in your world, there's some sinister reason for the lack of a bulletproof cure for the common cold because, hey, polio vaccine.

    Read the income and expense statements of nonprofits. Horrendous.

    Good g-d I responded to this thread on like the 2nd page and then kept reading.
    Now I wish I had never responded in here. I....need to bash my head against the wall now.

    I can't even blame a previous response. But I have no idea why I came back here. I feel the same way but it messes up my tinfoil hat when I do and I just got it right.

    So, you complain because a charity isn't giving free glasses, complain because a non-profit organisation with no "big pharma" backing hasn't found a cure yet, complain about the running costs of said non-profit charities who you expect to come up with a cure which won't be exploited by big pharma/gov for mega cash. You also complain that cures haven't been found for the gazillion types of cancer with a gazillion causes because "the govt figured out polio quick enough" - even though polio is a straight forward virus.

    Does that about sum up your views?

    I have a feeling that the British government, the Canadian government, and pretty much any other government that funds their population's healthcare would probably respectfully disagree with that statement.

    As for population control, I'm all for it.

    I haven't complained about anything; just stated the facts.

    You would think that a country that small that you would all be on the same page.

    Wow, this thread escalated quickly!! Just to lighten things up a bit, I am Australian and State of Origin is starting right now. Queensland versus New South Wales and they are playing at the Melbourne stadium...I am kind of surprised that another fellow Aussie didn't know which states actually competed in State of Origin!! Always been Queensland versus NSW...I live in Queensland and most people I know make a pretty big deal about it, my hubby's workplace allows them to wear their team's jersey's, hats etc on Origin days. I guess it wouldn't really interested the other states though.

    Anyhow, back to the original topic at hand...I haven't had pork for ages (bacon is a regular though) but after reading this I might add it into our rotation of foods so we don't have so much chicken. I always overcook it though, sigh.
