Asthma... There's No Such Thing!

[Hecktix]

A leading medical journal claims that the term 'asthma' is incorrect and misleading and should be abolished.
Around the world there are approximately 300 million people who suffer from asthma which is a disease which affects the lungs, symptons include coughing, wheezing and having difficulty to breath.
The medical journal in question states "Asthma is not a single disease, but a group of syndromes with different origins and characteristics and so it is best to scrap the name"

What do you think?
Is it a bit too complicated for your liking?

Its a forum based on an internet game what do you expect? "/

There is a section on the forum called Outside Habbo
That means we can post things about OUTSIDE Habbo.

[Sazzle]

yeah well the people on the forum arn't like 10 or something

[ross]

I have Asthma. LOL at if they give me the Inhaler for nothing.

[Nixt]

May I ask that people stick to the thread topic? If you don't like the thread, don't post; simple.
As for the asthma thing, why change it? It's been the term for this "group of syndromes" long enough now, so keep it the same.

Oh wow aren't you clever? We dont care if theres apparently no such thing as asthma is it really going to affect us?

some have the mentality of that ;)

I'm not trying to start an arguement, but it'll affect me and some other memebers, who actually suffer with it.

He's Right. If You dont like it, Why are you posting?

It won't because its just what one scientist has said its not a big announcement

[Hecktix]

Yeah but asthma sufferers may have something to say about it.

I'm partially asthmatic. the sports related one. But this isn't really affecting me "/

Oh ok. lovetoyou. and nice arguement here, I'm agreeing with you.

If It Doesn't Affect You. DONT POST ON THIS THREAD.

[ross]

If It Doesn't Affect You. DONT POST ON THIS THREAD.

don't be rude. she's allowed to post, forums are for opinions. if you don't like her opinion maybe you shouldn't reply to the thread?

[Hecktix]

I would like to hear her opinion. Not that she thinks im posting pointless posts, that wasn't the question i asked. A simple "no this doesn't affect me" would have been nice enough.

[edible]

I got asthma so shh! It's real.
And stop posting stupid stuff!

[Hecktix]

Im not saying asthma isnt real. Im commenting on what a bunch of scientists have said.

[Scriptermone]

I would like to hear her opinion. Not that she thinks im posting pointless posts, that wasn't the question i asked. A simple "no this doesn't affect me" would have been nice enough.

As you said in a previous post, if you dont like someones post/opinion don't reply to the thread.

but - you just said you would like to hear her opinion.

so no one else gets to hear eachothers opinions these days?
Thats how people socialise dude. :rolleyes:

[Sazzle]

if you don't find these sort of threads interesting then don't bother posting. go and discuss what your favourite colour is or something.
and it's not all about if the topic is affecting you.. i don't have asthma and it isn't affecting me or anything, but i still have an opinion on the matter..
anyway i think that it's a bit silly changing it.
"Asthma is not a single disease, but a group of syndromes with different origins.."
people don't know of asthma as being a group of syndromes or even if it was a single disease.. if you get me? like most people don't really know and are not interested in the scientific part of it. if that makes any sense?

Thankyou for using the forum properly xD

[Scriptermone]

And we're not?
hmmm...
I sense a bit of injustice is in action here. :rolleyes:

[Hecktix]

You are saying that what i am posting is crap.
Well thats because you dont find the topic interesting, Some people do. Do you find that hard to understand?

[Scriptermone]

Some people as in?
sazzle...
*tumble-weed rolls by*
yes, people are interested, more like 1 person.

[Hecktix]

If you arent interested why the hell are you posting on this thread?

[Sazzle]

well what would you rather discuss?
people probably don't find it interesting because they don't have an opinion themselves.
i fear for when we are the next generation....

[Scriptermone]

If you haven't noticed - (which I doubt you have)
the last few posts, me, ross, and cassie have posted - guess what kind of posts they are?
they are posts that are to prove you wrong, to make you stop posting threads like this.


Catzsy (Forum Super Moderator) - Please stay on topic. Other members have the right to post discussion threads in this section of the forum and you have the right not to post in them if you are not interested in the subject.

But that is off topic? And the point of this thread is to discuss the idea of them scrapping the word and meaning of Asthma. Not to discuss why he shouldn't post topics... I think you are just finding a reason to argue. This topic belongs in this forum, it is to dicuss asthma, and this forum happens to be the Discuss Anything forum... See the connection?

I say, stop being argumentative, stay on topic or just simply ignore it. Loads of people use this forum, if you don't like it, go somewhere else :rolleyes:

EDIT: Yes, my post was off topic, but people need to learn connections in this forum. Discussing something goes in the Discuss Anything forum "/ Jeez, some people are stupid.

[Wootzeh]

Even if 'Asthma doesn't exist' people will still need to use inhalers to help them breathing, it will jsut be named different things, so I don't see the point in this thread.


Catzsy (Forum Super Moderator) - If a thread is pointless then it will be dealt with. Please see rule

no excuse.

[You]

It won't effect me, but i think it'll be stupid to scrap the term.

[Liberation]

Well. I didnt read that report =] As not alot of time. But i have both asthma and exma and alot of allergies. And i believe they are true. Im allergic to alot of thing encluding animal fur and last week i went to my mates house(Who had animals) and the next week i was in hospital bacause of it. I also regually need my asthma puffer on agasions. So i believe it is true and so is exma =].
Thanks

[Grindie]

Well until they find out what the other syndromes are, I wouldn't scrap it.

[Liberation]

Would agree as above.

[Youheard]

Does it really matter if the name changes? The disease/illness stays the same it would just cause confusion if the name were to be changed.
