Is pinkeye like sickle cell but for ugly chicks?

[Howie Roary]

holy crap lol

[Shiroikage]

i would argue that cystic fibrosis is a much more well-known genetic disease than sickle cell anemia

[Shiroikage]

didn't read the second page, guess it was already posted
whoops

[Chun Liroy]

you're really flailing here, and you know the skype frens thing ain't me and without derailing, I didn't even white knight (defending specific attributes or fighting on behalf of someone, I called out one specific person on their actions) -- but if you want to call that white knighting, then fine, I don't care, because splitting hairs doesn't interest me here

not being exposed to a specific fact does not mean that I am not intelligent, failing to understand it once being exposed to the definition, principles and reasons behind it, on the other hand, is.

Perhaps you could point out where I left out my Oxford comma? Or maybe you'd like to talk to me about SVO languages versus SOV languages. Shall we banter on dangling participles? Flavouring particles? Or how about the little known Newfoundland diaspora of Black Settlers?

because clearly you're a fucking moron for not knowing about Newfoundland's largest diaspora right? Oh, are you googling diaspora now? Do you like the size of my intellectual cock? Sorry that it lacks biology or virology. Sit the fuck down and learn some manners

This whole post: FUCKING LOL.

[Blarg]

what does it look like I can still see it but I don't know what you plebs can see

[Chun Liroy]

you would think sickle cell would be in a basic internet health article right? (with references from the Mayo Clinic and the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute) since it's (perhaps) the most well known genetic disease?

EIGHT MAIN GENETIC DISEASES

CYSTIC FIBROSIS

HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE

NEUROFIBROMATOSIS

HEMOPHILIA

DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE

DOWN AND TURNER SYNDROMES

truthfully I don't know what 2 of those are, but you're claiming sickle cell is oh so well known

The hemoglobinopathies are the commonest, life-threatening, monogenic disorders in the world. Fairly recent estimates suggest that 7% of the world population are carriers and that 300,000–400,000 affected children are born every year.4 The majority of these (approximately 250,000) have sickle cell disease.

... in some European countries sickle cell disease has now overtaken more familiar genetic disorders such as hemophilia and cystic fibrosis.

http://www.haematologica.org/content/92/7/865.full

So it has overtaken two of the diseases you listed from that website for higher incidence in population. Guess it's a pretty small disease bro.

@Shiro, I said perhaps, I'm sure there was something I forgot about, that happened to be CF.

Also, inb4 I'm going on some righteous crusade for sickle cell anemia:

I know no one with the disease you racist fucks.

[Blarg]

something like that

oh, ya, I tried to delete it because I didn't read leroys post properly and thought it was a response to howies partial gay post instead of what it actually was so my response didn't make sense

[Blarg]

I tried to bury the evidence but your detective skills have exposed me

[AoE]

To be fair, I thought Sickle-Cell Anemia was more well-known too. I could just be a difference in regional education though because they shoved that shit down our throats in NY.

[Charismatic]

If the region is NY all the way down here to TX then that's a pretty big region. But I am noticing a trend amongst all the folks in this thread who thought it was more well-known about... (I'm included in this).

[Charismatic]

There may very well be something more at play.

[Mertron]

i knew what it is

and im black yall

[Charismatic]

Yeah, go back to Europe, faggot!

[Mertron]

Yeah, go back to Europe, faggot!

i get it

and im black yall

[Sera]

Liroy knew what sickle cell is when he was young because he's black and everyone knows that all black people know what sickle cell is













btw this thread is awful

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

thread title made me puke a little
