Cancer !!!!!
 

Renee and Aubrey calling Bear cancer tonight was UNFORGIVEABLE. I know it was used as a term to cut a cancer out of society but those two horrible bitches how bloody dare they say that about a human being.

The term cancer is a very tough term for anyone to hear when they are diagnosed as having it. Only with regard to the star sign should it be ever used otherwise. Sorry girls the man you want to cut out of society will beat BOTH of you in the final. I dont even like Bear but these high and mighty bitches think they are so perfect and above everyone well they ARENT. They can high tail it home and hopefully we will never hear from them again.

We have all lost dearly loved people because of cancer and some of us are facing it in our lives.

It's a well known saying...

I lost my auntie to cancer last year very unexpectedly because she knew it was terminal and she didn't want us all worrying and I wasn't offended.

Actually I find this thread more offensive.

Cancer: an evil or destructive practice or phenomenon that is hard to contain or eradicate.

Queens of expanding people's vocab!

I don't like the saying, it's not nice and it's uncalled for, sometimes you have to be the bigger person.

Ive opened a thread saying the same thing and do you know they some people agree with her and think its hilarious ? yes honestly I tell no lies they think cancer is a joke THATS how low this place has sunk

Rene and Aubrey just handed Bear the win. :hee:

Cancer!!!!!

I think the term cancer describes Bear perfectly!

Probably referring to his star sign

Well known and well used term.
Describes the situation well.

I loathe Bear but it's a horrid term, don't care how popularly used it is.

What's offensive about this thread?

Why does the sensitivity level have to be so high though? It's a perfectly acceptable metaphor. It doesn't lessen the affliction of cancer survivors/victims.

Having lost people close to me due to cancer, I feel the same way as you. But I do see why some people would be offended by it. It was a silly move on Renee's part (did Aubrey say it too idk) though, considering this is a show were the viewers will pick up on anything slightly offensive.

When you've watched some one die of cancer, and they've died in your arms, you'll understand that its not an acceptable metaphor.

Didn't you know ,some people think its hilarious ?

Nope, not true in all cases I am afraid.

:umm2: it makes me sad.

What next? People with piles will be offended if Bear is called a pain in the arse?????

I'll have to take your word for it. Otherwise for me it would just depend on the usage.

Because that's really comparable :umm2:

Bear has'nt been that nasty to anyone.He may take the piss but Aubrey spitting in food and Renee comparing a person to cancer are vile actions.Awful people.

Glad you agree!!!! :joker::dance:

And somehone has found my thread more offensive. That really hurts

She was inspired by Mitch

I've actually heard my Nana say it about David Cameron and she's survived cancer twice.

Making the most of the school holidays I see :joker::dance:

I was in the hospice as my aunt lay dying and I don't find it offensive at all.

All I can say is... I'm a Cancer and I'm not insulted... :laugh:

Have had a few family members who are crippled with Dystonia and it's a common slander term to call someone a cripple. Had a fair amount of very ugly people call my mother a cripple and walk behind her mimic-ing her poor mobility. Have seen some of the ugliest of human nature.

Though, I don't get upset when someone says someone is crippling a situation, or the economy is crippled or this feeling is crippling. It's just a metaphor, a creative use of language, an emotive way to communicate new meanings. Metaphors don't necessarily disparage the victims and the causes surrounding those victims. #savetheenglishlanguage

My mum in law died in my arms high on morphine and drowned in her own bodily fluids and it breaks my heart every single day so i find it highly offensive, call me sensitive, call me what you want, i think cancer is an evil disease that robs people of their loved ones and is a term that should not be used lightly.

:clap1:

I get people can be offended by it, but I feel the op's reaction is well, a bit overly dramatic.

Someone with intelligence speaks at last!!! Thankyou.

I agree 100%. I lost my mother last year to cancer too, and again I didn't find it at all offensive. I find the sight and sound of him totally offensive however, and would love for him to fail at the final hurdle.

I'm screaming at the faux outrage omfg. If bear said it his fans would be calling it an epic speech

Capricorn !!!!!!

Im really really surprised you said that Amy Jade. I thought that they could have used ANOTHER term other than cancer. I dont like it used like this and thats why I created a post I dont even LIKE bear. Anyway a few people agree with me you are entitled to your own opinion but I am a bit hurt if I am honest. Peace though

I'm genuinely so sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is to see somebody deteriorate before your eyes, it's the hardest thing I've ever been through and I do understand you being offended and that's absoloutely fine

You see this is what I dont get. I lost my Mum, best friend and my father in law and friends son through cancer so I am also offended the term was used anyway I am not going to criticise forum members I will move on

I mean I'm sorry you're hurt but I am entitled to my opinion as much as anyone else, I didn't find her remark offensive at all, I wouldn't if anyone said it - maybe because I've heard it before and heard it said by somebody who has had cancer

Bang out of order, and absolutely offended me....

It was awful.
