there is not such thing as a vaccination for cancer. its like saying that is we can stop people from smoking than we've vaccinated them against lung cancer. its all such jingoistic crap. HPV isn't just linked to cervical cancers, its also tied to anal cancer, penile cancer, mouth cancer and throat cancer - genital warts are pretty much a guarantee. now correct me if i'm wrong, but don't men have anusus, penises, mouths, and throats. the whole notion of only vaccinating women is based on the bias that men have sex with women exclusivly, and hence if you vaccinate all the women the men will never catch it.

this post really bugs me; something feels intrinsically wrong with it, but i'll have to come back to you later with what the problem is. i haven't given the actual issue much thought.

no beef with the maccas post though, and if anything i was expecting the 'people only wanna save the whales cause they're cutesy' post earlier on.

hope your holidays are full of enjoyable activities.
