Great man! Gave conservatives a venue in which they can be heard and not censored and stifled and led the way for the silent majority not being so silent anymore. Conservatives owe him a huge debt of gratitude. He made a real difference in this world.

He was / is a cigarette smoker, as well as a cigar smoker (multiples a day) for most of his life, so it's not unexpected. You don't hear about lung cancer as much anymore, but it was dropping relatively young guys like flies through the 1990's, so he's had a pretty good run to make it to 69 plus.

Carlson is a good choice. He's 50, but feels young, and he can sell most of the party line without seeming like a hack.

Right on. I may not be a Rush Limbaugh fan but I see no need to trash him, particularly by saying things which simply aren't true. It is just plain mean spirited. Having said this, Getbig is often a very mean-spirited internet forum, because a minority of posters spew lies and post other unnecessary, abusive, caustic and vulgar personal remarks for no other reason than to make themselves feel more important among veritable strangers.

Rush Limbaugh had a cochlear implant in 2001. He only just revealed that he has advanced lung cancer.

"In 2003, Limbaugh stated that he was addicted to pain medication, and sought treatment. In April 2006, Limbaugh turned himself in to authorities, on a warrant issued by the Palm Beach County state attorney's office, and was arrested "on a single charge of prescription fraud". His record was later expunged." Seems like the problem was bigger then just taking a few pills. He went public with this which is decidedly not a 'sissy' move.

Getting married after after three failed marriages is a 'brave' and tenacious move. Many people give up trying after the first marriage ends.

People who are successful in the entertainment industry do well when they are in the spotlight 24/7. Obscurity is death to an entertainer's career.

I can understand alcohol because a lot of people enjoy it right off the bat. Unfortunately, so many things that make life enjoyable is bad for you so there are trade-offs and you have to practice some self-restraint. My battle with ice-cream is ongoing and very real.

I don't know a single person that enjoyed their first cigarette. It's smoking tobacco that I just never got.

I have the same experience. Any favorite flavors? Same question to SF1000 if he's reading. 'Cookies and cream' and mint chocolate chip(but not dyed green) for me.

On a side note, I've read in the past that fat people with stomach staple surgery sometimes "get around" their surgically fashioned small stomach pouches and regain weight by drinking large amounts of shakes and presumably ice cream....whereas it is much harder to do the hamburger, etc... route.

Lung cancer is tricky.....like most cancers. The people you think would get lung cancer don't always and vise versa. My mom started smoking at 16. She was a chain smoker 3-5 packs a day. She died young (61). But, not from lung cancer. She as a result of emphysema causing her heart to fail. My stepdad had lung cancer when he died. He smoked cigars which he did not inhale. My guess is second hand smoke from my mom caused his lung cancer.

Lung cancer is tricky.....like most cancers. The people you think would get lung cancer don't always and vise versa. My mom started smoking at 16. She was a chain smoker 3-5 packs a day. She died young (61). But, not from lung cancer. She as a result of emphysema causing her heart to fail. My stepdad had lung cancer when he died. He smoked cigars which he did not inhale. My guess is second hand smoke from my mom caused his lung cancer.
Or your step dad may have gotten it regardless of smoking or second hand smoke.  Some people get lung cancer who have never been around either.  Once you hit around 70 the body starts to fall apart no matter what you do.

Alcohol is mostly an acquired taste.  Most people choke down their first beer, liquor even more so.

Not in my family.

I agree, people get lung cancer for a variety of reasons. He was also a painting contractor so years and years of paint fumes could have contributed to his having lung cancer. If I remember correctly, my stepdad was 65 when he died.

We took my mom in after he died. In the almost three years she lived with us before she died, her heavy smoking habit stained our walls with nicotine and ruined the wallpaper in the downstairs bath. Even after painting and replacing the wallpaper you could still smell the nicotine when you first walked into the house.

I don't want to hear about bodies falling apart around 70. I am 75 and plan on being around for many more years.

Whenever someone old gets sick they (and the medical community) tend to want to blame something in the far past for why they got the current disease.  There is no way a person can prove that some chemical they worked with 50 years ago caused their condition.  Our bodies simply break down as we get older.  If we came up with a cure for cancer old people would just die of something else like heart failure or some other organ failure.  Once your cells start breaking down you are checking out, end of story.

Where I worked we'd have asbestos training every year provided by OSHA. The training video started out by talking about mesothelioma. After you were scared shitless, you'd get the history of asbestos which goes back to B.C. It is a natural mineral which was still being mined in Canada until 2012. There are so many ways one can be exposed to asbestos. It almost seems unavoidable. It was in the floor tiles at some of our schools. These were waxed and buffed by the custodial staff. Imagine how much airborne asbestos there was when buffing the floors.

"The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 125 million people around the world are exposed annually to asbestos in the workplace, and the International Labour Organization says more than 107,000 workers die each year from a related disease. In addition, several thousand people die from asbestos in the environment each year."

My grandfather worked with asbestos for decades as a carpenter and he lived to be over 100 years old with no lung issues ever.  When they first started talking about the dangers in the 1980's he thought it was bullshit. :D

Think of your life as a Baccarat shoe...This shoe is filled with cards...Some have Influenza written on them...Some have various cancers and diseases written on them..."Lung Cancer"..."Skin Cancer"..."Emphysema"...The rest of them say "No Disease Today"...

These are all shuffled and loaded in the shoe, and each day you draw a card.

If you have bad habits like smoking, or spending too much time in the Sun...you are loading your "Life Shoe" with extra "Disease Cards" in relation to the "No Disease" cards, increasing your chances of getting something...But not guaranteeing that you will contract something.

Yes, and thanks for using Baccarat shoe as an example as it's my favorite casino game.

Exactly. Getbiggers make it so complicated lol.

Obviously no guarantees in life, but engaging in bad habits increases the risk.

Nothing more, nothing less.
