That's a stupid fucking point. 
I wouldn't get on if there was a 25% or even 5% chance.

That's my point, at 87% you'd be doing everything you could to avoid the plane.
That's what she's done.

The analogy is completely retarded as missing a flight can hardly be compared to removing a body part.

13% chance of your plane remaining in the sky forever is pretty high though. Excuse the pun.

Unless you consider that they'll both prevent you from dying before you're old.

well vastly more chance of death than getting breast cancer which also skews the comparison.

It's got fuck all to do with a plane 
She means that if you can prevent something which is almost certain to happen, you would.
Not a hard concept to grasp really.

At what cost? If you don't get on the plane you don't get to your destination. Big fucking deal.
Getting a double mastectomy can have major consequences for your physical and mental well being.
To compare them is retarded. Not a hard concept to grasp really.

Balling has been getting a lot angrier and pedantic since he started posting words on the internet more often

We're not going to agree here, I think she makes a good point, you don't. Lets just hold hands and dance our way to Madame Tussaud's to look at Angelinas waxy tits.

I don't get how it's up for argument and debate? It's her body, she has a choice.
Choice A: Risk dying from and suffering from breast or ovarian cancer (if not both) and living with the painful and debilitating treatment to "survive" just to please some Internet weirdos that she's not doing it to get on the cover of OK magazine 
Choice B: Have a common and sensible operation to remove the non essential organs to lessen the chance of her life being cut short.
It's hardly fucking mastermind you cunts.

I dont have a problem with the act, more of her then using this act to further her name in the media, that and shes guilty of previous such stunts involving children from Africa.

So you are saying furthering the awareness of breast cancer, masectomy to prevent it and showing how a woman associated with her looks/norks being her income can overcome it and lead a normal life to aspire many whom look up to her....
..is wrong?

So you have a problem with celebrities helping charities or causes? As they too gain media attention by doing that.
