Diabetes is a terrible disease, and should not be used as part of joke. Please reconsider.

Does this do anything for you?

Yes, but you don't want to know what it is. If you or a loved one suffered from the disease and all of the health complications like blindness, amputations, wounds that don't heal, and heart conditions, you might post differently. More of life will give you a better perspective.

Oh, come on, man. It's a message board. My grandmother had all those things happen to her, but you don't see me blasting people just trying to make a joke.
Back to topic, how much to you think LSU's success this year, as well as the new coach, will affect basketball recruiting? Maybe in a couple years, we'll have enough depth that we won't have to worry about the bench.

I had a message to deliver.

My intent was not to blast, but to raise the awareness, that the reality is NOT funny.
Sorry about our grandmother, and I'm glad that you have accepted her condition to the point of defending jokes in poor taste. I have multiple family members who suffer from the disease, including myself. My wife wife, who specializes in the wound care of diabetic patients, has shown me many pictures showing the effects of Diabetes. Maybe if I posted one of them, you may feel differently. Forgive my inability to find this even remotely funny or even acceptable, even for a "MESSAGE BOARD."

Karl Malone (as played by Jummy Kimmel) on the subject:
quote:
All kinds of Americans infected by diabetes. Diabetes infect young, old, women, men, and here Karl Malone's whole thing. Why they call it diabetes? They get people all riled up. That's why Karl Malone say change name diabetes to livebetes. That way, people won't go walking around saying "oh no, I'm gonna diabetes." Instead, they saying, "look out world, livebetes coming through." That's called positivity thinking right there, and that's kinda thing keep Karl Malone on top.
