Link found between the internet and cancer in children - A venture of the Soccer Mum - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29860886]Most UV radiation is non-ionizing yet a significant number of people get skin cancer every year Surely you're not going to claim "oh they're getting it from something else the sun is 100% safe and besides everything gives you cancer!!"[/QUOTE] Anything past visible light tends to become damaging. UVA, while technically non-ionising to us, damages DNA fragments in such a way that hydroxyl and oxygen radicals are created which ARE carcinogenic. They lead to cancer, the UVA itself does not. Higher energy UV radiation is ionising and hence can directly cause cancer by ionising atoms directly in our DNA. UV is beyond visible light and we don't exactly use it for communications, so there's nothing we can really do bar putting on sunscreen to avoid it. So while it may be true that non-ionising radiation CAN be damaging (like I mentioned above, microwave radiation can also be damaging to your health, but NOT in terms of cancer), a general rule of thumb is: the more energetic radiation is, the more potential it has to damage cells (and, more importantly, to cause cancer). IF microwave radiation was seriously damaging to tissue then, by extension, so would visible light (because it is FAR, FAR more energetic than microwave radiation). And if that turns out to be the case, what do you propose we do? Ban visible light?

She shouldn't have to worry about cancer from mobiles these days... unless she gives her kids the really old models that can give you testicular cancer.

Causation =/= correlation.

[quote] She said the risks of internet-connected devices such as laptops to children was a cause for concern.[/quote] yeah okay see listen carefully here Ms. it's not the internet that harms you, it's whatever space-age enriched-uranium-based laptop you're using to view it [editline]16th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE]Experts did, however, establish a possible link with brain tumours.[/QUOTE] What the hell did they do? Stick a cellphone battery into their ears or something? And you know shit's legit when they don't mention the names.

Hey guess what. It's cancer well worth it. It's only about risks one is willing to take. If I get cancer and die? Ok, at least I didn't live a life like a fucking hermit wearing underpants made of nettle and banging rocks together for fun. It's about considering how high the risk is and how much is it worth. Is it worth to me to risk the quite probable lung cancer for smoking? Nope. Is it worth to me to risk the highly improbable cancer for being connected to the worlds knowledge? Yeah.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;29861541] Is it worth to me to risk the quite probable lung cancer for smoking? Nope. Is it worth to me to risk the highly improbable cancer for being connected to the worlds knowledge? Yeah.[/QUOTE] i do both so that must mean Probable + Improbable = 0 no cancer for me!!

[quote]She said a combination of cordless phone, iPhone, desktop computer and laptop running all day meant her young children - Hayden, 4, Carly, 3 and Matthew, 2 - had grown up running freely through a field of potentially harmful magnetic radiation.[/quote] Except for the fact that her kids are perfectly safe, as none of the above produce ionizing radiation, the harmful kind that's linked to cancer. It also means the soccer mom is a reactionary douche.

[QUOTE=Psygo;29859688]fuck, what the hell do people consider an "expert" these days, seriously?[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yghFBt-fXmw[/media]

Ban living, causes cancer.

It's like these people search for things that emit "Radiation" and say it causes cancer. I guess I'll never even turn on my lights then

Fuck those soccer moms. They don't even have any functional brains because they've been rotting it into monotony and ignorance with Farmville, tequila and a weekly dose of poisonous religious dogma.

[QUOTE=ironman17;29862720]They don't even have any functional brains.[/QUOTE] Too much radiation from their minivans. Cancer has claimed another one.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;29859615]Ionizing radiation isn't the only damaging kind of radiation[/QUOTE] And the others would be?

Key words being "may be harmful" as in, "we don't know lets just assume it is".

[QUOTE=thisispain;29860214]yeah but that's not what i'm on about if we shrug off cancer research by saying "oh everything causes cancer anyway who cares" then we might be ignoring some huge problems[/QUOTE] This is true in most cases, but not this one. This line : [quote] After decades of often inconclusive research, the jury is still out on a link between mobile phones and cancer.[/quote] is complete bullshit. There has been no proper, peer-reviewed study that says that microwaves increase the risk of cancer. Besides, they're non-ionising radiation. It's like saying heat (infrared) causes cancer. "Most studies in adults have not found links between electromagnetic fields and cancer." "Non-ionizing radiation doesn't damage DNA directly, but it may be able to affect cells in other ways. The possible links between some of types of non-ionizing radiation and cancer are discussed below. But at this time, non-ionizing radiation has not been established as being able to cause cancer." ^ That was what sltungle was talking about the the UV light.

The old Oracles would warn the children that the more you know the more that knowledge will eat you up on the inside... This was clearly referencing the space taking cancer cells and their constant multiplication of cells causing tumors... The old Oracles had Cancer... [editline]16th May 2011[/editline] :v:

Didn't the Oracle at Delphi get visions through huffing petrochemical fumes? If so, then there are a few oracles hanging around the local train station.

Fuckin magnets, how do they work?

Reminds me of my friend's mom. I had a little bit of dirt on my arm and she thought my skin was "pigmented because of cancer-causing molecules" That's what she actually said. She talks out of her ass 24/7.

Worrying about the things that give you cancer, gives you cancer.

[QUOTE=bull3tmagn3t;29886362]Worrying about the things that give you cancer, gives you cancer.[/QUOTE] Stress causes cancer, so yeah

"She said a combination of cordless phone, iPhone, desktop computer and laptop running all day meant her young children - Hayden, 4, Carly, 3 and Matthew, 2" Iphone for a four year old? Cordless phone for a 3 year old and a laptop for a 2 year old? THEY GROW UP SO FAST! *Tear*
