A Balanced Look At Cellphone Radiation
A month back we discussed an article in GQ on the alarmist side of the cellphone-radiation question. Now reader pgn674 passes along a PopSci feature article looking at the current state of cellphone radiation research. It profiles people who claim to be electro-hypersensitive, "who are reluctant to subject themselves to hours in an electronics-laden facility" for studies. The limited research on that condition is still showing that sufferers, in blind tests, are unable to detect radiation at levels better than chance. The article also touches on the relationship of non-ionizing radiation to cancer. The conclusion is that while it seems unlikely high-frequency fields in consumer devices directly cause cancer, they might promote it, and might also indirectly cause other health deficits beyond simply heating nearby tissue — though one skeptical researcher cautions, "The gap between a biological effect and an adverse health effect is a big one."
Bone alignment? Do you really think your bones can get out of alignment without leaving their sockets? If you are having problems with your bones go to your doctor, not a chiropractor.
I have mod points and really want to modd you as troll or off-topic since the post you replied to had nothing to do with a) Religion b) America.
But you are incorrect. Bashing religion (and America) is usually considered politically correct by the "open minded" slashdot community.
Heck, just look at the X-box "Gender Expression" posts

I did a search for Christian and religion and no thread that bashed either had been modded "to oblivion."
Here is a good example since the article is a little more "aged."

The posts with the word religion in it that were negative or mocking were all at least in the postives and most +4 and up (the only exepection being one post that compared the AIG to a religion.)
