It could be that he was right for all the wrong reasons...

It's been known to happen. A certain Ancient Greek Philosopher deduced that the Earth orbited the sun since fire is a nobler element than earth and the center is a nobler position than the outside, therefore fire had to be at the center...

Yeeeeeahhhh.... in the same way that it "could be right" that US conservatives cause cancer.

Because they cause stress.

And maybe sorta possibly it's in the realm of possibility stress could hypothetically cause cancer....




CONSERVATIVES CAUSE CANCER!!!!!




(Or, we could treat this topic like sane people and just say he was full of shit)




(I am putting aside for the moment the myriad environmental policy positions conservatives support that literally contribute to cancer)

Seriously, that's the best line you got after 3 years of hysterical nonsense and claiming facts about Trump that were nothing more than hysterical assertions by political opponents. On what grounds should anyone believe the outlandish assertions that Gcomeau spouts based on past history of Gcomeau.

Put the Alcohol and drugs away. Put the firearms back into the gun locker and take your medicine like a man! Conservative are just like you. They have the same hopes and dreams as you do. Psstt...here's a secret. Conservatives are human and make an occasional mistake. Son, go take your punishment like a man and get back into the game!

Wow.


Ok smr, here's a tip. Go back and read my post again and this time engage the grey matter between your ears and think REALLY HARD about whether I was actually trying to argue conservatives do cause cancer by being stressful to other people.

Don't want to and don't care! I am still gloating while enjoying a nice 32 oz Margarita while cooking. At least I am not driving! Hopefully, this will be all out of my system in a couple of days!

My leukemia is now in indefinite remission, could come back next week or never, so I've been led to do some reading up on various cancers, their causes, treatment, and prognosis.
Thousands of cancers effecting millions of people, so no one size fits all, but one common point did stick out. While stress and attitude is unlikely to cause or cure cancer, there is a correlation between personality types and prognosis. Happy, cheerful, positive and caring people do statistically have better survival rates, than do miserable and fearful people.
I haven't seen it taken a step further to see if it then translates on to political leanings, but I wouldn't be surprised.
My own life experience has shown that the more extreme conservatives tend to be xenophobic, convinced that bad things are happening and generally miserable; while the more extreme progressives tend to be in "The age of Aquarius", sort of flowers in the hair cheerful and caring people.

Aren’t ‘progressives’ the whiny babies that demand ‘safe zones’ to protect them from ‘micro-aggression’ and ‘institutional bias’ that only they can perceive? The ones that violently attack people for wearing the wrong hat? The ones constantly on a hair-trigger seeking any excuse to be offended? They look pretty high-strung to me.

Most conservatives have more of a ‘shit happens, deal with it’ attitude.

Now that will sober up a guy real quick. I will put you and your family in my prayers. Believe or not, I understand because I can go at anytime due to variety of medical problems.

Have you ever tried to understand these terms, or are you just a typical 'conservative' crybaby?

The ones that violently attack people for wearing the wrong hat?

Last I checked, the vast majority of violent attacks on people wearing nonconventional headgear (hijabs, turbans...) are committed by people who identify as 'conservative' or 'christian'.

The ones constantly on a hair-trigger seeking any excuse to be offended? They look pretty high-strung to me.

That's pretty rich, coming from someone who can't read the words "socialism" or "communism" without starting to rant incoherently.

Most conservatives have more of a ‘shit happens, deal with it’ attitude.

Also a "non-whites don't matter" attitude. And a "poverty is your fault" attitude. And a "LGBT people need to stay away from me" attitude.

When you admittedly don't bother to read and understand you have disqualified yourself from the discussion which makes your word and opinions totally worthless.

I'll counter with explaining something I found funny in the UK. Their conservative political party is nicknamed the Tories.
Also in the UK there is a strange nervous water bird called a loon.
The Tories call their hard right rump the Swivel Eyed Loons, for their nervous habit of seeing threats in all things from all directions.
