"No matter what problems we are facing, there's always room for happiness in our lives," he said. "I guess the main thing is … you want to overcome the challenge. … so you should probably try to do everything you can to overcome the challenge. But always remember that being happy is the most important thing. So do everything that you can to make your life a happy one." Respecting 50% rule...

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44577020 He should have been wishing for something more meaningful, but THAT would have not made it into the media to tug on heartstrings. What about people who are denied basics like food and starve? THEIR last wish isn't gonna be about a football team. It'll be for a meal before they pass on in the night and never get noticed |

I am sure the 17 year old would have gladly changed places with you complainers. not with your attitudes, but with your span of life. I especially think that people who run their mouths off about starving people in this particular thread are USELESS, unless they have dedicated their lives to serving the poor and starving. And in my experience, people who actually DO serve the poor and starving do not write crappy posts.

I actually agree with those couple posters, and yes, my life is dedicated to both man and animals, and I guess I am writing a crappy post as you see all kinds of "needy" people and very few who actually "NEED" I think its a useless story as dying people all have wishes and only very few make news. And they are bullshit self absorbed wishes. |

And they are bullshit self absorbed wishes. One 'self absorbed' wish cancels out all the other selfless and good things he's done for others ? I haven't seen his documentary but it certainly appears he has motivated and kept inspiring many all around him throughout his short life... having a disease like that I would imagine it very difficult to carry on positively, but he had apparently inspired many around him, and don't forget, only seventeen... was still a kid, and you criticize so harshly his wish?
