You do realize that if that 18% is a correct estimate that more people believe that Obama is Muslim than actually live in Canada.
A fun poll would ask how many people think he's Irish.
(Lyda Rose Quotefile's this. You deserve it.)
Fun Circus thread idea! Create a snazzy Celtic myth along the lines of Fynn McCool starring Barak O'Bama! But not here, or you'll die messily!

'Fast' in this case referring to the rate of food capture, not the rate at which the food moves across the ice. ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

Erin, I spent some years of my youth working construction jobs overseas, with a lot of ex-pat engineers, their often multi-cultural and sometimes crazy wives, weird administrative types, and locals. I have spent a much longer period living in various US towns ranging from small cities to Tiny Towns in New England.
I'm now 59 yrs old and one thing I know: there are idiots and crazies everywhere you go. It's just the human condition. And they feel the same way about you.
That's a generic you, btw.

orfeo, without getting into the details, the 'biological effects' of cell phones reminds me all too much of the 'power lines cause leukemia' thing from some many years back.
Yes, there is much we don't know. But my bottom line is somewhat Darwinian: we humans, as a species will either adapt or die out.
My money (if only I were to survive and money would still mean anything) is on the rats and the cockroaches.

The usual brain tumor hype about cell phones has been roundly disproven by the Finns using 50(?) years of the best medical records in the world (cancer-related medical records there are heavily regulated by law there).
And the usual hype about transmission towers has been anecdotally (and hilariously) disproven. I can't find the story again, but one town was supposedly suffering from gigantic effects from a new transmission tower there. They take the company to court and many people testify that *right that moment* they were still experiencing pain/nausea/etc from the tower, and that they had been ever since the tower was turned on. The company then informs the court that they turned the tower off two weeks prior and hadn't informed the town, in order to wait for the trial and pull this stunt. The case against them was dismissed pretty quickly from there....

Somewhat misremembered, but the important parts are there imo....
quote:
A group of South African "electrosensitive" activists had been tormented by their local packet-data radio tower, with terrible symptoms that only subsided when they left the area. They're suing.
Only one problem: during a six week period while they were experiencing their symptoms, the tower was switched off, but the symptoms persisted...[they said the symptoms would subside in 4 hours to 2 days of leaving the area]....Of course, they're still suing.

Seriously? Two things: first off, if they think none of their neighbors are using wifi that is bombarding their house, they're dumber than you. Second, I, too, had vague and subjective symptoms during the school week that magically disappeared Fridays at 2:30.

Parents at some school bitch about their kids getting sick from a Wi-Fi network set up there. The illnesses go away on Friday afternoon and return Monday morning without fail (shock!) School board sensibly ignores the morons who are getting trolled by their kids, and ask for doctor notes. A parent: "They are culpable and ... they have the gall to go on the record and say they haven't had any doctors' notes. Well what doctor has been schooled about the rate of microwave infections?" [italics mine...certainly a new sort of infection ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) ]

As for your claims about cell phones, Jesus, you're one of them. Now at least I know I don't have to take anything you write seriously ever again.
My claims about cell phones?
I didn't say I thought cell phones made you sick. I merely pointed out that there is a documented case of people going "whoops, that technology we told you about... it does do SOMETHING after all. It causes biological changes. We still don't think it will HURT you, but we told you confidently that it does absolutely zero and it turns out the answer is 'not quite zero'".
I'm not suggesting they cause cancer. I'm saying that it's extremely irritating when the marketers of a new technology don't use the precautionary principle. You don't automatically blame the new technology, but neither do you rule it OUT until it's been properly investigated and shown not to be the cause.
The mobile phone thing was very well publicised at the time, so if I'm 'one of them', so are plenty other people including the scientists who made the finding.

An example of the kind of report is here. It's not a claim that phones make you sick.
quote:
“Using a cell phone is not innocuous. It has an effect on your brain. Whether that's good or bad, we don't yet know, but it's definitely having an effect. The effects are clear. The increase in excitability is clear and lasts for about an hour. Is that effect harmful or beneficial? I don't know,”

Or maybe he's the only poster in the purg thread who isn't reading what he actually writes . . .

Actually, "more research is needed" is a form of CYA - "cover your ass". If you say something definitive, you could end up having to defend it in court. Put in a few waffle words and you're safe.

To be fair, if someone put a gun to my head and demanded I choose whether to work with Merlin or Myrrh on a committee, I'd probably pick Merlin. I'd just hope that the committee involved building a fence or something else that didn't involve a whole lot of, y'know, talking.

I dunno which one I could cope w/. Myrrh will be whacky as all shit and off the wall, and Merlin will be that 50% of the time, and the other 50% is his path-away-from-mormonism testimony which he applies to almost every situation. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't brought it up yet for this situation yet, actually!
Not sure which I could cope w/ more.

Oh, there are ribs around that are still inside people. I meant spare ribs.

Damn. Now I'm hungry. Who has barbecue sauce? Let's roast Merlin.

Somebody please help me sort out what in HELL he is actually arguing for or against. It looks like a mass of mutually exclusive self-contradictory claims.
Or maybe he's the only poster in the purg thread who isn't reading what he actually writes . . .
. . . or maybe he just has to be opposing whoever else makes a point.
I give up.
Yeah. I should have done that instead of letting him get to me. (And it's not really him, but just the ugliness of this whole thing and my fear of where it's taking us.)

Truth is, though, that giving up also feels like giving in to the screamers now protesting on Park Place.
How many dots are needed to connect that mob to some version of Kristallnacht?
And with public figures like Palin and Gingrich to urge them on . . . and others complacently assuming that someething like the Third Reich Could Never Happen Here.

Man, that's beautiful. It's like a little piece of Ship call-and-response liturgy.
I dunno, part of me is horrified by the ugliness I am seeing inprint lately, but another part of me is wondering if part of real change is wading through the ugliness.
I am sure there were plenty of reasons to hate the human race in Little Rock back in the day.
