do you think livestrong bracelets have become more a fashion statement than a good cause for cancer, etc.?

That was the idea wasn't it? That means the charity gets more money because they sell more bracelets.

Well, I don't think so, unless the bracelets happen to be rigid, metal, and have angular sides.\n\nBut it's good to be safe.

I'm sure their are. Just because you have cancer doesn't mean you quit living, Look at Lance Armstrong. I'm a cancer survior my self. If you have cancer don't give up.

Yes of course...\nif it was something I was extremely prone to get and it was something terminal...well then I know which organizations to donate money to for research :P.\nBut yeah, I really would even though ultimately it wouldn't change a thing.  I would still know that its good to live a healthy lifestyle.  I'd still try to eat healthy, get some exercise, meditate, etc.. Beyond this, there's really not a whole lot you can do, just pray :P

Nope, since American Cancer Society continues to fund animal research - and seems to not even consider the incredibly abundant and accurate amount of non-animal projects out there that are making headway.  I'm not an activist nutjob - so don't get on my case, but I am smart and humane enough to see that there are real alternatives.  But I digress - just go to http://www.pcrm.org for more info in that vein from thousands of actual doctors and scientists.  \n\nIf you're like me and you do want to support the fight against cancer - but in a humane way - there are many, many groups that support non-animal cancer research, for example, The Garland Appeal http://www.garlandappealusa.com created by Paul McCartney in memory of his late wife, Linda.\n\nAnyway, I will not be supporting the Relay for Life, although I will support other cancer-fighting activities and have the utmost respect and best wishes to all those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

In the older movies, guys all wore hats, women wore dresses and sometimes wore gloves. Are we too minimalist now? The emphasis then was less on perfect form, like abs and b**bs, but was more facial. Will it ever come back? Probably not. Hip-hop is the driving force of the next generations fashion and sensibility.

Pink; my mother-in-law always loved it when I wore pink. So, when she began to get very ill, I started wearing it all the time. I even held a pink set of rosary beads at her bedside. Now when I wear pink, it's like my own little tribute to her.

My ex brother in-law wears one.  He thinks it works. So either it does work or it's a mental thing?

I do! The more selections the better!  A friend of mine who is expecting mentioned how great it would be to have pregnant Avatars too. And what about Bald women who are going through Chemo...For Cancer Awareness! And what about Avatar tattoos too!

Yes, because I have pets and their health is valuable to me, along with my own health and safety.  Not only that, we need more products that don't hurt the environment.  We don't need to be breathing chemicals in our houses.  I'm a cancer survivor and I'm a firm believer that environmental hazardous products cause about 90% of cancers, whether it be aluminium in deoderant to ammonia in cleaners.  I feel it breaks down the body's natural defenses to illness.

Why do you care what others wear as clothing? Its not your business really. If you are obese yourself and looking for ideas, then you shouldve mentioned that. What I wear is what I put on everyday, not you !!

I think we do have a cure for cancer, but people are soo greedy for money that they don't put it out. Cuz like...a cure would be a one time treatment, but to slow down symptoms like we do now, you need to continuously keep buying medicines and stuff. So in the long run, they make more money that way.

Yes, I do.\n\nI also think that they believe its good advertising, as well. They are a business, and social action doesn't help them unless it sells clothes.

Yes.  It's definitely a good idea.  It's symbolic.  People will see media photos of the event and wonder why the bats are pink.  The story will explain it and people will become aware of the need for further breast cancer research.  Pink bats will be a symbol for the cause.  Symbols are important.\n\nBreast cancer is a very serious problem and too little is done about it.  Women know more about the subject than men. To reach more men through symbols in a sports event is a valuable educational tool.  The costs of making the bats pink is infinitesimal.  The publicity generated will be priceless.\n\nWhy are some people worried that "it is gay"?  What is more important is that IT IS RIGHT!
