Tower Switch-Off Embarrasses Electrosensitives
Sockatume writes "Residents in Craigavon, South Africa complained of '[h]eadaches, nausea, tinnitus, dry burning itchy skins, gastric imbalances and totally disrupted sleep patterns' after an iBurst communications tower was put up in a local park. Symptoms subsided when the residents left the area, often to stay with family and thus evade their suffering. At a public meeting with the afflicted locals, the tower's owners pledged to switch off the mast immediately to assess whether it was responsible for their ailments. One problem: the mast had already been switched off for six weeks. Lawyers representing the locals say their case against iBurst will continue on other grounds."
That's hilarious! Did you make that up, or did you hear it somewhere? If the latter, from where?
I've seen similar without the hypochondriac part, but that's not quite as funny.
I am sorry but I have very little sympathy for you. I would strongly recommend you go live in a cave somewhere so you can avoid things that might upset you. I hear Hati is nice this time of year. No, wait - those people have REAL problems. They don't need someone like you.
Seriously, cell phone waves warming the air?
You are just another paranoid going on about things that don't make sense and are unprovable. You give a bad name to people who have arguments that are scientific, proveable but are not what the public considers 'normal'.
My advice to you is to go see a therapist and get some help before you emotionally damage your kid any further. Get some help.

Don't lump 911 conspiracy in there with the rest of that quack stuff. Lump 911 conspiracy deniers like yourself in with the quacks, unless you can explain how fuel oil can cause a giant pool of molten steel to remain red hot for months. Or how some burning filing cabinets can cause a 47 story building to uniformly collapse. Or why they got rid of all the evidence with no investigation. Why don't you go into the demolitions business, now that you're an expert on demolishing steel buildings with fire? You don't have to spend all those months wiring the place up with explosives like the other guys... you'll make a killing.
How many more years will slashdot have an off-by-one error on your Score in your profile?
I always thought "Disagree" was spelled "Overrated" in the /. mod system. At least, anytime someone wants to slap me with a "I disagree with your politics" mod, that's the one they use.
There isn't supposed to be a -1 Disagree mod on /., but apparently at least a few mods are doing precisely that.
I am officially gone from
