How is it possible for some people to actually spend more time talking than breathing?
Question by Mike: How is it possible for some people to actually spend more time talking than breathing?
I work with someone who, I kid you not, can literally talk for HOURS without pausing for a single moment of silence.
It’s like a stream of consciousness, and no matter how serious or trivial the concept is, she lets it fly, and doesn’t give a second thought as to whether it actually needs to be said.
I suppose one could defend it as ADHD, or a serious personality disorder such as narcissism. My belief is that it is a stunning level of selfishness and immaturity.
What are the reasons for someone blurting out every thought in their head?

I know what you mean… Sometimes I’m even amazed at how much they can talk without tiring themselves, I also know a couple of people who can talk rapidly, almost without a pause between words and they rarely give you the opportunity to talk back. I asked a friend once why she’s so talkative and it turns out that she’s pretty lonely and doesn’t have anyone to talk to in her house.

Simply put: many women are just so stupid.
Also, there have been many female celebrities that have been involved in worthwhile causes – Audrey Hepburn, Reese Witherspoon, etc. Why they don’t make magazine covers (obviously not Audrey), I’ll never know.

Why do we spend so much more money on breast cancer research than other forms?
Question by wolf n dolphin beals: Why do we spend so much more money on breast cancer research than other forms?
I just read several articles about cancer deaths and found that far more men die of prostate cancer than women die of breast cancer. Also, men are much more likely to get this cancer than women get breast cancer.
Everywhere we look (on TV, radio, bumper stickers) we see pink.
Even with all the hubbub about tobacco causing deaths, we don’t spend nearly as much money on lung cancer research etc.
Why is there such a disparity?
Oh, I was also wondering if it might help to start making brown ribbons to raise awareness to Prostate Cancer! ;-P

Q&A: Is it REALLY WORTH IT for taxpayers and private donors to spend money on “Research”?
Question by Walter Richard: Is it REALLY WORTH IT for taxpayers and private donors to spend money on “Research”?
we all know about it, some of us might even be affected by it through ourselves or loved ones, but ask yourselves this. Is it really worth it for us the people of the world both governments and private donors to give there money, our money to these breast, lung cancer & etc “research groups” including the aids/HIV types who we “donate” and fund too like they can “GUARANTEE A CURE”, even though (as evident by the past and today’s current status regarding these things) other than CHEST RIPPING surgeries and the side(“SAD”) effects of chemotherapy (&etc) they really cant! all i ask compassionately from you people is don’t think about cash hungry researchers who ask you to donate money to their c(ars)ause (excluding the non-profit ones who weather or not they find a cure are doing what they do “pro-bono”) think about yourselves, think about the people affected by these things, put some thought and question thyself the next time you encourage your government or yourselves to donate money to “False Profits” ask and realize what do you REALLY want, what are you REALLY paying for and is it WORTH it
P.S. i have a Feeling some of you if not all (lol) will say “oh but the money we donate doesn’t go to their luxuries it goes to the resources necessary to conduct research like per-say the electric bill to keep the lights on or the gas bill to run the heat after all what goods a laboratory if jack Frost beats up everybody in it. Oh and then we got the main courses such as whatever resources and materials the scientist try to make a cure out of, billions of dollars in (anti HIV/Aids hope)”donations” nothing (substantial) yet but at least they tried, then we got the volunteers the test subjects the people who volunteer for free or get paid just small amount of cash to do the things them donation hungry scientist are not willing to risk there overpaid lives to do themselves. oh and that leaves the most important “non-profit” but yet “research related cost” these scientist spend money on.. yes you got it, themselves so either way either as long as there donors who are promised a lot, but returned only little (keep in mind its not like these research people are just way too lazy to find a cure its just that as far as the world knows today the “Cure” is maybe possibly not impossible its just currently non-existent.) these scientist and “research groups” (excluding the ones who are TRULY non-profit as in they don’t even intend to make enough of a living to feed there families off it let alone their other personal desires) will always Find money to Fund their “C(ars)ause”
okay it might confuse others on what i think about this so here goes what i really meant to say from my stand point is that i Feel research groups who are trying to find cures for aids/HIV and etc should only be Paid if there research and capabilities to Provide one actually pays off for the people of the world who are affected by them. i didn’t mean screw research and let these people die no of course not i really meant research groups that accept donations to fund their cure finding projects for example medicinal and research companies that take a boat load of tax payer funded money per year so they can try to find a cure like for aids/HIV (a good real life example of what I’m talking about) should return back it back to the people say every net gross year they are unable to provide one regardless of whatever time and resources they put in themselves. Ok folks so that is what i really meant to say if you think about it it makes perfect sense and if you are one of those people donating money to them you’d Feel the same way too

I gather you don’t think saving lives and preventing suffering are worthwhile things to do. Every HUMAN on the planet disagrees with you about this.
Cancer USED to be a death sentence; there was NOTHING that anyone could do. The person who got cancer got sicker and sicker until they died.
Now, there are a LOT of people who live for years, even decades, after being treated for cancer. There are more and better treatment options all the time.
There’s no reason to assume things won’t continue improving.
????? “Cash hungry” — the people who actually do the research do NOT get rich from it. (Why you think researchers’ families should starve is unclear to us HUMANS).
If you have or get cancer, you don’t HAVE to seek treatment that would prolong your life. Insisting that NO ONE get treatment to prolong THEIR lives isn’t YOUR call.

Money is a great motivator. Cut back on the funding and you slow down the development of new treatments. The world doesn’t revolve on volunteerism.

Answer by Daniel H
In the shortest way possible, I disagree. The crucial issue with your idea is that every year, there is not money left over. It gets spent. The research that goes into drugs is absolutely astronomical. Theoretically this would be a fantastic way to ensure that the researchers were pushed to the limits of their abilities, but this would not ever work.
On the other hand, I do understand why your feel so strongly about this. It is easy to look to the examples of NPOs that fall victim to perverse incentives but simply put the vast majority of research firms do amazing work. Breakthroughs do not happen overtime in the medical field.
I am not saying here that there is no deadweight loss in the research sector because there certainly is; however, I just do not see how this type of annual refund system would allow these organizations to get any work done.
