I'm a firm believer that Wireless frequencies cause cancer. I have no actual proof, but the number of studies with half-assed conclusive evidence is enough for me. I don't use wireless internet, and I have a cellphone that I rarely use, due to the fear of cancer. |
Everything causes cancer, but cell phones are getting out of control in other ways.
|
The exploding nokia was likely due to the Li-ion battery. All batteries can do it, though it's incredibly rare (unless you're sony).
I use and carry my phone around with me daily. It might well slightly influence cancer, but so does probably tons of other stuff I come into contact with daily. |
I can
(Can't guarantee, but it seems likely to me after comparing how crappy I feel having sat immobile and talking on a cell phone for 6 hours, to how crappy I feel having sat immobile and staring at a television screen for 6 hours, or sitting at work for 8. And it ain't just my eyes.) |
I hate cellphones with a passion, mayby the guy who made up the 'cellphones cause tumors' headline does too.

Honestly, who would use their phones more than 4 hours a day? I don't even think your average chatterbox teen girl demographic talks for that long every day. Plus, for all these articles, the sample sizes seem rather small to be jumping to conclusions.

Why would you possibly choose to live your life in this kind of fear? Can't use a cellphone because you may get cancer? What about all the other waves from everyone else's cellphones, television, satellite, wi-fi, microwaves, transmitters, and Sirius radio that are coursing through your body right now? Better line your house with lead! |

And he told you to PANIC. Why are you still here?

Well now really, would you rather Firestone not have to recall their tires because "Hey, it's not like it's widespread yet or anything"?
|
WOAH...
I wouldn't want my cell phone to explode in my pocket~ I better start wearing 3 pairs of boxers for protection since my phone is always in my right pocket *_*''' |
I believe only PICARDGONK can solve this mystery!

Fuck. Might as well stay indoors because you could catch cancer from the deadly sun's rays. Well if you stay indoors you might accidently slip and fall in the shower, maybe paralyzing you or killing you. Or you might cut yourself deeply with a butter knife while making a sandwhich. Just kill yourself if you fear so much. Double Post: Quote:
Note: You have a 45% greater chance of it exploding in your right pocket than left. You might want to switch pockets. |

All I can say is that correlation doesn't guarantee causality. The risks of these people developing cancers could very well be due to radiation coming elsewhere. But I'm not saying that there's no risk involved.
Of course, it's always better to get fresh air and stay healthy rather than stick to your electronic gadgets all the time. |
Doesn't everything these days cause cancer? Or did I miss a memo?
I've also heard that cellphones mess with sperm counts. HOW DARE MY CELLPHONE MESS WITH MY MAN ESSENCE! |

but seriouslly, the only thing I think a cellphone can do these days is get you punched in the face from annoying the crap out of people. |
I don't talk on my phone for more than about 10 min a week, but I carry it around always...I wonder...

Lithium-Ion batteries are always (translation: every once in a while) exploding. Poor Dell had a laptop catch on fire due to the battery, during a showcase. Yeah, they ended up losing quite a bit of money and doing all sorts of recalls just so the public would feel more saferer. "zomg lion batry asplode! MY HEAD ASPLODE!"
If we could make ANY technology work absolutely perfectly all the time, we'd find something else to complain about I'm sure, so I really don't care. If my cell phone explodes, I'll have an awesome story to tell people. "Hay guys, guess what, my phone asplode!" "NO WAI" "YA WAI" "lollercoaster" |
Like my cell biology prof said one time after a student was concerned about cancer causing agents. "Ummm hello?...Big, flaming radioactive ball in the sky?...there's your biggest cancer causing agent! Now leave my class and go destroy that damn sun!"
He also stated that, if you live long enough, there is a 99.9% chance your going to die of cancer. I believe it. |
I don't believe that cell phones are that bad. First of all, the signals from the cellphones can't even break through the cell walls of your head... can they?
I don't have a cell phone and rarely use one if I borrow one. Something else will probably kill me.... such as my monitor... |
