GSM Association Slams Euro Call For Ban On Wireless In School

jhernik writes "The ongoing debate over the supposed dangers posed by mobile phone usage and wireless signals has exploded once again. An influential European committee has called for a ban on mobile phones and Wi-Fi networks in schools – the GSM Association has denounced the report as an 'unbalanced political assessment, not a scientific report.' The report made its recommendation to reduce mobile and wireless use in schools, despite admitting that there is a lack of clear scientific and clinical proof. However, it said the lack of proof was reason enough to restrict use, just in case, comparing mobile phone radiation to other things whose dangers were once unknown, such as asbestos, leaded petrol and tobacco."

Actually I specified that it's based on the frequency and the duration of exposure to that frequency, if you'd read that comment again. And yes, the sun actually does kill you. It is in essence a pharmakon, a cure and the cause in a way. We're saved from more damaging effects by the ozone layer - an electromagnetic shield it just so happens to be - but over time and exposure to it our skin degrades. this is manifested in collagen, elastin and cartillage degradation in our faces. which lo and behold is what is mostly exposed to the sun. FYI, the yellow in your eyes that comes with age is a result of exposure to the sun as well.

If our planet was just a few units further or closer to the sun there would be no life on this planet. Which again leads me back to, its based on how long you are exposed to that radiation and the frequency of that radiation. the point is that individuals are still divided over whether there there is damage done or not, doesn't mean radiation from your phone doesn't cause activity to where it is pointed. People wake up and think for yourselves, each generation is the succesive's one guinea pig. Once the lobbying has been done and enough people have died I suppose then the truth will be out. In the interim, i use a wired connection when talking on my cell phone, I don't keep it in my lap and I don't quickly dismiss individuals who say they are sensitive to wifi signals either. Think for yourselves.

for the person pedantic enough to pic on my grammar and punctuation i was on my iphone but just for you...i'll keep writing this way. take that stick out your ass. if i was a world renowned physicist who couldn't speak english much less write and was posting on here would that make u take me less seriously? if you answered yes, we have nothing less to discuss.
