this is a direct quote from Lance Armstrong (it's on t'internet)

"If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell. "

It would appear that arrogant Armstrong is labelling all children as ignorant wretches before sarcastically insinuating we could learn from them. It then appears that he believes that there are only two options medically and emotionally ??? Is this some veiled reference encouraging others to follow his lead and dope, indeed he seems to advocate that doping strengthens the athlete emotionally and that the two are intrinsically linked.

Has anyone else noticed that Lord Voldemort is an anagram of Lance Armstrong ? Coincdence, I think not.

    Talk about taking something out of context! He's talking about children with cancer. If you read it on the correct page in his book, it's obvious.

    His idea was that we could learn from how kids deal with life. They don't prioritise how ill they are over other things in life. They just think "Make me better so I can go out and play", and we can learn a lot from that.

    Sweet Mary Mother of Jesus - are you insane?

    I'd send you some medication but I fear you're too far gone for help now.

    I don't detect even a hint of irony in the OP's post. Even if he is trying to be funny its tasteless in the extreme to use childhood cancer as a springboard for his wit. Either way its obvious the OP is a total w nker

    PS: there's no "v" and no "d"s in "Lance Armstrong".

    Tasteless is a different question.
