NYC Subway Cell Service, No Cell-Related Cancer

Luke PiWalker wrote to mention a CNN article discussing a bid process for offering cell phone service to NYC subway stations. The contract is only to wire up stations; moving trains will not have service. Those New Yorkers will also be safe from their phones, as the BBC reports on a study indicating cell phones don't cause cancer. From that article, submitted to us by Dan Hope: "She acknowledged that there appeared to be an increased risk among brain cancer sufferers on the side of the head where they held the phone. The team, however, did not put this down to a causal link, because almost exactly the same decreased risk was seen on the other side of the head, leaving no overall increase risk of tumours for mobile phone users. Instead, they blamed biased reporting from brain tumour sufferers who knew what side of the head their tumours were on."

Don't stop with making sure terrorists can't use cell phones to set off bombs on the subway. Why don't we just shoot every Muslim in the United States? Sure, over 99% of them are peaceful, law-abiding folks, but that fraction of a percentage might be terrorists. We can't be too safe!

Oh hell.

...So what you're telling me is, the one place in New York City where I'm guaranteed NOT to be aggravated by some yuppie asshole yelling into his phone at the top of his lungs is soon to be a cell-friendly environment? You're telling me that I can't avoid these people by hiding out thirty feet underground?

Sometimes I hate technology.

And this is why Spain is such a worthless country today. Your country had the chance to fullfill its historic role in the fight against Islam. Instead, they chose the cowardly route.

Your country is nothing more than a vacation land for London usurers who get fat off the international financial system. You offer nothing to the world. You have no culture. Your cities are dangerous, and your men rape women like its a sport. You enjoy the lack of security simply because you can do whatever the hell you feel like doing. Once, a woman could walk the streets of every major city in Spain without fear. Now, I can barely meet a woman who has travelled it alone unscathed.

Once, Spain was the last civilized nation in Europe thanks to Franco. Now, it is nothing more than a nihilistic wasteland whose days are numbered as soon as the usurous world economy collapses.

Fortunately, Spain will cease to exist as anything more than a designation for real esate. Your birthrates are dropping faster than any other country in western europe. Arabs and Africans flood your country by the thousands every day.

Enjoy the knowledge that your children will hate you for destroying their heritage and leaving them with nothing but a ruined country and broken people.
