I think this belongs to the religion forum lol

Many kids suffer from childhood cancer, is it their punishment?

Just leave God out of it.

Well, I don't think you hate him that much either.

Even if you do, what is the difference between him and almost every warmonger out there?

I did not agree with almost everything he did in the past, but this is the time I choose to back off because and simply because he has cancer. I think he at least deserves some privacy and people should respect his and his family's boundary. It is really that simple. Plus, people play different roles in life. He is not JUST a politician, he is also a man, a husband, a father, a grandfather, somebody's friend, etc etc, at the end of the day, everybody just wants to survive.

"Their behavior". Nothing more than an attempt to lump entire groups of people as guilty of something whether they are or not.

My point does NOT just apply here. I condemn others for the same thing when they do it concerning other groups. These made up labels are nothing more than an attempt to lash out at people for being different than you. I think you would agree that is wrong?

Frank like myself has not backed off from condemning any of them regardless of party or belief.

Based on the smug delight over McCain's cancer that a couple of the people here revealed in deleted posts in another thread, they're no different than the teens who enjoyed watching a man drown.

I don't quite understand why some of you are arguing that they don't mean it. They've shown us all what type of people they are - take them at their word.

well, if you believe this is the time to condemn him, go ahead. No one is stopping you, but it is kind of pointless at this moment. He has cancer, what do you want from him? lol

Forget about his policy for a change, look at him as a human. Cancer Doesn’t Choose Who Survives Based On How Hard Someone Fights, cancer does not choose who survives based on their heart either. He is just an elderly gentleman who is fighting for his life. Enough is enough, don't you think?

To die so the world will be a better place. I thought I have been clear on that.

He never made any indication that he gave a crap about the policies he supported that led to the deaths of many thousands of innocent humans. He is no gentleman.

More importantly, I would directly to him. His son or daughter has nothing to do with it.

I would love for someone to ask these people how they are able to sleep at night.
