Cancer
One in three people develop cancer during their lives
Incidence
The four most common cancers – breast, lung, colorectal and prostate – accounted for more than half of the 245,300 new cases of malignant cancer (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) registered in England in 2007. Of the total number of new cases, 123,100 were in males and 122,200 in females. Breast cancer accounted for 31 per cent of cases among women and prostate cancer for 25 per cent among men.
Keep in mind, those are UK's numbers--the US numbers are likely higher. That said:
...Jesus fucking Christ, can we PLEASE stop worrying about Al Qaeda/the Taleban and start fighting the REAL threat, PLEASE?
Our priorities are so INSANELY out of whack, it's almost unfathomable. Actually, it is completely unfathomable.
Today someone told me that the guy who crashed his plane into a building in Texas because he hated the IRS was crazy.
What's crazy is that the whole of western civilization is dropping *trillions* on fighting wars, propping up failing chunks of its economy and pretending that *nothing ever needs to change,* all while *hundreds of thousands of people* every year *around the world* get cancer and/or die.
It's no wonder aliens don't visit us. We're fucking retards.
