sadly a popular way to draw attention to debilitating diseases in the america is to have a means for people to insert their own ego for attention rather than just doing something because it is a good thing to do.

I'd rather give a homeless person 20 bucks to cure hunger for a day.

Who are you to tell them what they should spend their money on? I can guarantee it'll be spend on whatever they feel they need most. Alleviating suffering one way or another, it's well spent regardless what it goes to. You actually can't say that about "curing" cancer.

You've clearly never known an addict if you think giving them their fix is "alleviating suffering".

Don't know why you brought up cancer but there are already two proven cures (possibly more by now) for it anyway so either way you're wrong.

Take it up a notch? How about mixing shit with water and tipping it over your head?

Do you feel better when you eat something? It's a pretty good analogy.

And I don't believe throwing money a medical condition is a reliable way to cure it. It's a special combination of money, time, new technology, and corporate greed that give us medical breakthroughs.

Don't know how to break this to you but heroin/crack/booze/etc are not requirements for life. Comparing drug addiction (a self imposed condition) to hunger not only is a terrible analogy, it's downright obnoxious.

You can believe that as much as you want, it doesn't make you any less wrong.
