I wonder if we're all slowly being cooked, I mean cellphone microwave towers are everywhere now, and the push is on to install more and more of them to expand coverage, major phone companies have extremely powerful microwave towers, those huge suckers and I know for a fact they can hurt you, I know of a base jumper that went up on a phone company tower to jump from it and almost died from microwave exposure.

On a daily basis 24hrs a day microwaves are passing through us, radio waves, radar pulses from police cars, satellite pulses, increasing on a daily basis, this energy is not supposed to hurt us but over years of exposure how do they know they won't hurt all of us.

Anyone else thought about this?

I've given some thought about it but with health and diseases.

Well, it's pretty much like the idea that scientists or doctors have this confidence once a disease is currently removed from your body, that it won't return. From cancer to SARS...

Really though, no one has any idea of extended periods, over 10 years for example, whether such sicknesses can actually do a relapse!

Alas, we're not time traveleres and can't predict the future. :frown:

I was just wondering at work yesterday if all these cell phones and microwaves and fertilizers and insecticides and who knows whatever wiil start taking a toll on us..I Wonder why you have to pay extra for healthy foods too? Even the vegetarians are not safe. They use all kinds of stuff to make greens get ripe quickly. Remember that load of green onions from Mexico a while back almost killed a restaurant full of people...well maybe not that many but one is too many when it's preventable. You know those signs in restrooms that say "Employees must wash their hands" in food stores and eating establishments? Well what if some manager pisses some dude or dudette right before they go to the toilet...you see what I mean.

Honey, why did you put talcum powder in my
underwear?" "It's not talcum powder. It's Miracle

I don't know what effect it all has on us...

When I was working it a stamping plant years ago, I discovered something that I still think about. We had 18 to 20, 500 ton presses that continuously stroked. I had bought a pop, out of a machine that made it in a paper cup. When you took the empty paper cup & held it from the bottom, it would vibrate in your hand from the noise bombarding in the place. It picked it up like an antenna. I would come home horse from yelling over the noise. I wore ear plugs the whole time I was there. I do have a lot of hearing loss. Military, the shop, racing, it's all noise.. However my Mother has a hard time hearing as well & she never worked in anything like that. So who knows...

Ryan my wife wrapped meat in a grocery store ( 20 years ago ) , they put tenderizer on all the meat and it makes it a lot tenderer ( brakes down the fiber ). All the major chains do this , and all the smaller stores that i know . I always wondered if it does that to the meat , what does it do to your stomach .

No, I don't.. They want to get me on PTS.. I had Malaria twice in Nam & was crushed in between a bucket loader & a earth mover tire I was changing in the jungle. Busted my collar bone & tore me up a bit.. My Dr is a Nam vet & he's trying to get me to go into the VA. I just don't feel it's right though..

Just today going to work I started looking for cellphone towers the damn things are everywhere, even on top of every water tower, and some tall billboards, sometime in the future some cops going to arrive at the scene of an accident to find the driver just popped like a kernal of corn in a popcorn popper, and then people will start popping everywhere. Hey Tee thats a good SciFi movie, why don't you get started writing the script, maybe you can complete it and we can go see it before we all pop. :smile:

This thread has given me an idea for a Halloween costume, an aluminum foil suit to protect me from all of the radiation coming out of cell phones, satellites, remote controls, microwave ovens, and all the rest.

ROFL :smile: I saw on the news the other day that there was a shoplifting ring lining the insides of heavy cloth tote bags with Aluminum Foil and Duct Tape, and stealing from the store and walking right through the security scanners and not setting them off. It seems the Aluminum Foil actually kept the scanners from detecting what was inside, the only problem was the idiots forgot about the security cameras. :smile:

Mike I've always wondered about that meat tenderizing crap, that stuff is bound to hurt you in the long run, it'll flat eat up a piece of meat, I wonder whats in that stuff? Battery Acid! The meat doesn't taste right with that crap on it either.

A little town of Eagle MI, not a traffic light either. One bar, one take out stare, & a PO, half the size of my living room. The have a park that they put on Eagle Days every year, the weekend after Labor Day. They couldn't make any inmporvments to the park & soft ball diamonds. They let them put a cell tower in the middle of it & now they have nice modern buildings & some sweet diamonds...

There's $$$ in them there towers... :smile:

Absolutely...the reason the neighbor wouldn't tell me the up front money was as he put it "I'm to embarrassed to tell you."
"It's obscene". So I can believe they can build a town...

If you have farm land along a express way, you can make a killing on a tower.

Funny thing. I have digital cell all along the corridor from I94, I96, east / west. Go north very far & you go analog. My cell is digital 99% of the time.

I flew out to my brothers in So Cal & couldn't get digital cell. I said to my Bro, WTF. This is the mecca of electronics & it's friggen analog???? He said yes. It's because they can't get the land to put the towers on by the e-ways!! :eek:

I'd love to have a piece of ground there!!! Hello Verizon, come to Papa!!! :lol:

Verizon...I hate 'em...I haven't celled up yet. Thinking about going to cable internet and going cellular. That seems to be less than my slo-ass dial-up dish tv and reg. phone service...I dunno. Cell phones have got to be handy on the road in case of break-downs and delays and such...

I've had my cell for years. I used to drive 100 miles each way to work.. Almost a necessity in Detroit..

My son works for Verizon in sales. He says I should get rid of my house phone all together. He says there's no need for one now. I don't know... It would be different to say the least, to just go all cell.

BroadBand, is where it's at!!! There's so much to see & do on the web.. <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/content_provider/film/ContentShowcase.aspx" target="_new"> Here's </A> a site that has digital high diff that is awesome!! 56k would kill you on that site!!

I was one of the first to get cable when it came. I was in an online gaming league & cable is a must.. I was bugging them every week for it. I've had it about 5 years now, I couldn't get along without it now.

When I build a machine for someone with 56k, I do all the updating & stuff here before I deliver it. It drives me crazy just setting up there dial for them.

Also I do computer design in 3d solids. So I've always been spoiled with fast work stations, puters & such... [shrug]

To show you an example T. , i got two computers ( wifes and mine ) . No one uses mine as i got a tornato fan in it ( cranked up to 3.7 gig now ) and it's so load it wakes up the dead ha ha ha . We both use hers and before she was'nt on it much . Now she's on it all the time , which is good as it makes it much more usefull . It jumped up from being used a hour a day to never being shut off and used all day ( and sometimes all night ) . It went from being a piece of furniture to being a usable machine . You can accsess so much more information on it , so there for it made it valuable .

LOL, it's all out there for sure...

Do you have network on your MOBO? or will you have to put in a net card? I always take out the 56k card & drivers before I set the network / card in the machine when I switch one to cable off 56k... It used to be they didn't like each other on the same board... That was a long time ago though, might not be that way now, I don't know.. But I do it that way to this day..
