[quote author=momcilo94]It's not the same, talking about cancer and for example saying that it doesn't matter that her mother died of cancer because people die of cancer all the time, which is what Leifr did in this topic. And there is a difference between joking around to cheer people up like you did with the Homer Simpson gif, and posting something that is saying the thread maker is just hassling everyone by posting irrelevant stuff.
As for donations you gotta ask yourself if you're donating just to make yourself feel better, or because you believe the money you send will actually make an impact, even though you don't witness it.[/quote]
Well, people die of cancer all the time, so why is it a big deal only when someone you like dies of cancer? It's not like the person in question is special or unique in any way. On the other hand, people who will never impact your life in any way might as well not exist. I probably need to spend some time thinking about this.
