Had she said that she wished he was struck down with cancer then maybe that would have been different.

I totally agree, had she wished him to get cancer I would be absoloutely disgusted and my support of her would come to a halt.

[Daffodil]

I am offended by Bear. Maybe we should stop talking about him???

[Marsh.]

The english language is more complex than that.

can·cer
ˈkansər/

a practice or phenomenon perceived to be evil or destructive and hard to contain or eradicate.
"racism is a cancer sweeping across Europe"

So Bear being a cancer of the house would be quite a valid sentence.

[wendywillow]

before Aubrey described him as herpes. sounds like bears a thrill to live with

[Shaun]

Nothing wrong with saying it really and to suggest that everyone who does has no experience of the actualities of cancer is a little bit daft.

What do we expect from Renee the crazy monkey mobster and Aubrey, who looks like a Nazi at the opening of the Ark of the Covenant (re - Raiders of...nm)

I hope Renee's remark about somebody teaching Bear a good lesson isn't a....threat! We might need witnesses.

[Clootie Dumpling]

Oh, no! Is this yet another word that it's no longer PC to use in case it offends someone?

I realise it's an emotive word for people who have been touched by the disease - (that's probably most of us) - and not to be used lightly, but it's legitimate and, in this context, absolutely appropriate.

[Binbin]

Talking of disease, Aubrey's voice sounds like the nasal whine of a zika mosquito. The Pentagon should develop it into a sonic weapon.

Not as much as Bear's does, Binbin!

The term cancer is a very tough term for anyone to hear when they are diagnosed as having it.

Oh, boo hoo hoo. Get over it. Context is everything. So sick of the crybabies that inhabit the UK that need to be nannied. Bear is a turd.

Yes. When she described him as "a pebble in a piece of gum" on her shoe, she probably meant to say "turd"!

If you are referring to me as a crybaby that inhabits the uk that is a lousy insult. Im a grown woman that the word 'cancer' brings back bad memories of lost loved ones. I didnt think the term cancer was right to be used against another human being . I think calling someone a cancer isnt right. I am entitled to post what I want and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I absolutely cannot ABIDE Bear so its not as if Im a fan. And I DONT live in the UK

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.

I agree, it was really low as was the false statements of Renee as to it too.

She strongly pointed out she did not mean Bear personally,then to Aubrey she said she did mean him directly.

However again, she then when making up with Bear statement she never meant it directed at him.
So much for her word being her bond then.

It was sick in my view, really sick.
Had he said that to her or Aubrey, he would be being near hung drawn and quartered on here.

I think she feels such contempt for Bear that she feels he's not worthy of the truth.

I am with you 100% on this Riona. It's a dreadful disease and causes a great deal of suffering. It's a terrible thing to say to or about anyone. Lowest of the low.

[ScottyT]

Oh get a grip.

[Ross.]

It's not a phrase I personally find offensive, but I understand why it could be for others

[Robodog]

What if Bear had called Renee 'the worst type of cancer'?

What would her reaction be?

For all his antagonising idiot behaviour, he has never taken it to that level

The situation would never arise as Renée is a thoroughly decent human being.
