Totally screwed up things to tell sick kids

[skygazer]

Listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about some young girl who had cancer. And so they start talking about god and how its so hard to understand why god allows such things and how there must be some reason, etc.

So then some dingbat woman calls in and says, "My daughter was 17 when she got cancer and I told her that god chose her because she was so strong and special." :wtf:

What the hell kind of sick thing is THAT to tell a kid with a terminal illness? That you were CHOSEN to get sick, and feel shitty and be frightened and die young? Great. Thanks, god. Right back atcha.

Couldn't believe it. What's wrong with saying, "I don't know why these things happen. Sometimes life isn't fair." :banghead:
