Have you ever seen someone wearing one of those pink ribbons? And the first couple of times or so, because you couldn't remember what they were for, you asked them about it? And what did they say? "I support breast cancer!" Didn't you just want to punch them in the jaw?
No, you don't "support" breast cancer. If you did support breast cancer, you would be a massive tool. You support the treatment of breast cancer. You support finding the cure for breast cancer. You do not support breast cancer. That would be stupid. And what makes breast cancer so special anyway? There are a lot of different types of cancer. Why would you want to support just one? Wouldn't it be better to work towards a cure for all cancer? "I support funds for scientists to research a cure for cancer". That sounds much better than supporting breast cancer.
And how much supporting have you done, really? I'm not talking about the people who do bike rides and raise money and crap. Those people are actually being productive. I'm talking about the jackass who bought one ribbon and did absolutely nothing else. Sure, the funds from everyone's funds certainly adds up, but you? By yourself? Hell no. You haven't done jack. One dollar is not "support". One dollar might be enough for the doctors to pay for their parking. For like an hour.
You wanna say you support finding a cure? Either raise some money or get a damn medical degree. You don't deserve the smug satisfaction you're getting.
