Don't you think 2pac deserves a point for bring the thread back on topic? Shouldn't this be moved to games if you keep it up?

Isn't this just another report that just raises more questions than it answers?

Well, according to the interview with one of his wives that I read in Weekly World news he has raging diabetes, and doesn't trust insulin from western doctors. So it's actually pretty likely that he has kidney failure. I mean, Weekly World News wouldn't lead me astray, would it?

Doesn't diabetes affect the pancreas, rather than the kidneys? (:

Unless, of course, he only exists in dried tissue samples that would need to be scraped off the rocks of a ruined cave in Afghanistan....

Naw, diabetes is often caused by a problem in the pancreas, but it affects lots of organs, including the eyes, the nerves, and the kidneys. Renal failure is a fairly common serious complication of diabetes.

You know, I occassionally wonder whether that interview was for real.

I think diabetes is caused by the pancreas but affects many of the other organs especially the kidneys.

But I thought he committed suicide. There was supposedly a video and everything. I couldn't get it to work on my computer and then had to spend a couple of days getting my computer to work again. I wouldn't suggest you try to watch that video.

For 20 years, they've been saying Hyman Roth has 6 months to live.
