Thank you for the ping Meek...

Jim, my (adoptive) Mom was also a victim of this horrible disease. She was diagnosed when she was 18 mos. old (back in 1940 - thank GOD they had discovered insulin by then).

She received a Kidney transplant in 1987, and lived another 10 years (her death was unrelated to the transplant, and there are a lot of mysterious circumstances. Officially the cause of death was complications from diabetes).

My mother passed away at the age of 57 — her doctors at the time of her diagnosis informed her parents she would not live past 30.

My Godfather has diabetes. My Mother-in-law was just diagnosed with Diabetes a year ago. According to the medical history I received from my adoption agency the only thing noted was that my Maternal Grandfather had Diabetes.

I know personally of several FReepers who have diabetes themselves, and one in particular who is undergoing dialysis waiting for a kidney transplant.

Excuse the un-ladylike comment, but Bill O’Reilly can kiss my a** if he thinks that just because of one comment out of how many per day (MANY THOUSANDS), means ANYTHING at all.

I wonder if he ever bothers to check the RESPONSES to posts such as the one he highlighted (I know he probably doesn’t as it wouldn’t suit his agenda...).

I’m so sick of this. A VERY brief time spent on DU, or DailyKOS, HuffPo, could provide a wealth of posts that show far, far worse attitudes, but of course Conservatives don’t make assumptions that EVERYONE on the website agrees with the fools making such comments.

That O’Reilly makes such ignorant and bigoted statements towards all FReepers says WAY more about him than it does about us as a whole. He thinks he’s so intelligent about all of these things, but yet doesn’t acknowledge well-known internet phenomena such as trolls, astro-turfing, etc... Which proves even more how tiny his IQ is.

Sorry for the rant, but this ticks me off...

Bill O’Reilly is in no way a conservative and is in full use of his faculties. He is a self imposed virtual mole who’s sole aim is to discredit conservatives at key junctures for the advancement of liberalism...otherwise known as communism for the the realists among us.
