Too true... but yeah, lol at that picture..

I guess he should have cut down.. or just gone cold turkey, surely someone could have overpowered him, even physically, even if they had to tie him down and feed him through a tube just so he couldn't go get a drink.

the transplant. But I don't think it should've been denied him. He's human, a
man with failings but his family are having to watch him die and that's tragic
enough without people saying he wasn't deserving of a second chance.

He fucked up, he's paying for it. The photos he requested to be published
show his remorse and acceptance of what he did wrong.

Rest easy Georgie Baby.....we still love ya

I assume you are a smoker if you are on this forum, so if you get cancer, youd forgo a transplant because you brought it on your self?

So, ergo, smoking is okay in your book, and any possible cancer, but drinkers are not allowed the same compassion? hmm
interseting train of thought.

RASta

I am not a smoker I have a vapouriser and I dont drink not fat eat healthily so if I get cancer I am gonna be pissed.

Im sorry rasta but why should a person that has led an unhealthy life be given a transplant. George Best was an alcoholic and I think that the liver should have been given to someone more deserving.

Yeah, if i smoked 20 cigs a day (i don't smoke any, thankfully) and got cancer, i'd like new lungs, but i'd see the side that i brought it on myself, so i'm not as deserving as a non-smoker :)

Didnt you say u were off?
