I hope they find a cure because even if you beat cancer, it can still come back.

Hi I'm a fucking idiot, how can you beat cancer if there is no cure for it yet?

I thought there was a cure but I guess not a very good one since some people don't make it

Edit: Thank you for the answers, that really cleared it up for me, and I understand cancer a bit better now.

Did you know that you can cure your meat and beat it?

Maybe not in that order.

Right now, the main option to "beat" cancer is to poison yourself until enough of the cancerous cells die, along with killing the normal healthy cells. Even then, that only works for certain types of cancer, and that's only if it is treated early enough.

A cure would ideally work safely against all types and stages.

I spent five figures paying mine off two years ago.

Still 100% support my tax dollars paying for people's college. In fact, I'd love that instead of the nine wars my tax dollars are paying for instead.

Government gives money to tobacco industry: "What? They're too big to fail."

Where does the forgiveness come from? After paying for my education I now pay a bunch of taxes, I assume that's what is paying for their education? So the cartoon should say, I just fought and beat cancer and now I need to go work on a cute. "They" cutting cancer is not the same.

I'm all for student loan forgiveness and all that. I think education should be socialised for anyone till any level.

That being said, this meme is an example of false equivalency. Where is the money for student loan forgiveness coming from? From taxes. Taxes that these ppl (who also had to pay for student loans) have to pay. Hence, effectively, these guys paid their own loans off and are contributing to pay others' loans as well. That's their grime from what I understand.

Morally, I believe that they're wrong. I'm just pointing out the false equivalency generated here.

Beating cancer builds character!
