The second sentence does not follow from the first. There is a difference
between being able to cure a condition and never suffering from it. You
have claimed that the Martians do not suffer from cancer, not that they
know how to cure it -- if they never suffered from it, there is no reason
for them to need to know how to cure it, and even less for them to feel the
need to teach the cure in their medical schools.
You are also confusing matters further in another way. Previously, you claimed
to have studied at a Martian medical school. Now you are claiming to *be*
a Martian. Is this latter claim to be believed as well?
I find it interesting that when the people who think that you have something
worthwhile to say mysteriously shut up as soon as they are queried about
whether or not they believe your claim to have studied at a Martian medical
school. So what about it, folks? Do you guys believe that "Dr." Cee
was telling the truth when he said that his advanced degrees are from an
institution located on Mars?
