Conspiracy theory 1

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Anarchy 2 : One Thread

Latest news in England... They are advising all children 8 years old and under not to use cell phones. and pregnant women not to have cell phones near the womb, why you ask? brain tumors and miscarriages. So why haven't we heard about this in America? our media is censored. duh! They do not want us to know that cellphones and their towers emit microwaves, causing bigger problems the smoking. and if you use your cell phone in your car with the windows up, well lets see. what happens when you turn your microwave on in your kitchen? it cooks whatever is inside. common sence right, wrong. Most americans are too clueless and brainwashed to see this.so you are probably thinking, "I have a head set for mine", perfect the metal in the cord acts like an atenna that guides the microwaves right into your brain. gotta love technology

What a load of crap. Smoking causes lots of people to die of cancer, strokes, and heard disease. Hundreds of thousands per year.

Cell phones are thought to *possibly* cause harm, and even that has been discredited. If you want to show cell phones causing harm, show some data for it! These have been in use for over 20 years, if there was tons of harm, there's been plenty of time to see it in the public.

I remember when I lived in Connecticut that the troopers were getting testicular cancer from shooting radar. could be true

Verizon has actualy been petitioning schools to allow them to build cell phone towers on school property (because it's a lot cheaper than, say, buying land to develope on), and a lot of schools in my county are allowing it. Construction starts at my school in like a month. What's scary, though is that no one on the school board bothered to ask if all those signals emitted from this tower would be harmfull before they approved it. Now don't get me wrong, there's no conclusive evidence that they ARE, but it's discomforting, to say the least, that the only thing Verizon could come up with to prove that they AREN'T harmfull was a series of studies that THEY funded. Bias, anyone? In fact, several studies HAVE shown harmfull effects. Nothing that's 100% conclusive, but enough to unsettle you about the whole idea. Are these towers harmfull? That's the problem; we don't know. Yet the school board was willing to take that chance and allow us to become guinea pigs, and that really pisses me off.

O.K. bazooka joe let us think logically for a few moments shall we? Humans have been smoking...well forevor. Yet did we know the ill effects? no. And I am sure if someone told a person like you in 1912 that smoking was killing millions of people that idiot probably would have laughed it off. Secondly smoking does not cause cancer. Humans are born with cancerous genes, if you are going to get cancer you are gunna get it. It effects the weakest part of your body, which if you smoke is your lungs. Do some research.

Wow. It couldn't all those carcinogenic materials in the tobacco that causes cancer, it's obvious that the smoke just allows for your passive, waiting, cancer cells to attack the other ones...

What a crock.

U msut Feers Me, if you had read everything I wrote you would realize that I said cancer effects the weakest part of your body. Which means the bad substances make your lungs tar filled and weak which causes lung cancer.

-- nikkitator (aloneandconfused19@yahoo.com), January 17, 2005.

smoking wasn't nearly so bad for you 100 years ago when people rolled/grew their own. Less additives. Not that this has anything to do with the topic.

Maybe cell phone use is bad for you now that theyve added Camras and shit to them??

-- Dick Tator (inneedofliberty@yahoo.com), January 17, 2005.

Actually Nikitator, the reason in the 1800's people didnt die of lung cancer is that they all died from *pneumonia* before that. Fully 1/3 of the country did as a matter of fact, and many people with early lung cancers get pneumonias, so it's very possible that their pneumonias were just the tip of the iceberg.

It was only in THIS century with the discovery of penicillin and later other antibiotics that people lived through their other illnesses to "develop" cancers on a wider scale. That and the invention of the x-ray machine to allow us to visualize their lungs without cutting them open.

Nope, not a crock. Smoking causes cancer. Cell phones probably don't.

I totally agree with you bazooka joe on the point of pneumonia. I guess the only thing for people to do with differing opinions is to waite to see what happens, and let time take its course. I for one would certainly hope that it was a crock of bull because alot of people would be screwed.

Alzheimers is on the rise in American, perhaps this is in relation to cellphone use. Maybe as we look for the cure we will find the link between this and cellphone ussage... just a thought.

-- Dick Tator (inneedofliberty@yahoo.com), January 17, 2005.

I doubt if Alzheimer's is, I don't see too many old 70-80 year olds with a cell phone in their ear, but with kids... It'll probably be a generation or two more before we really know, and by then we'll probably have something else.

I heard about this about a yr ago.. I live in new york the reason given was mircowaves, they also say this about tv and other applicances.

440,000 smoking related deaths in 2003.

There has been a lot of RF energy floating around since advent of radio.Now moreso than ever;tv,radar ham radio.No harmful effects so far from those sources.But with a source of RF next to ones cranium,I wouldnt bet on being completely harmless.As power levels decrease as the square of distance.Double the distance from the source & power level decreases by 4.Not much distance from a cell phone even with a headset.Give me a land line. Cell phone only for emergencies.Amen.
