I'm not having a go at anyone, but strive to dispel misconceptions and misunderstandings. Should rules be based upon evidence or gut feelings?

This topic reminds of the grossly exaggerated adverse effects of nuclear radiation - when in actual fact, those who live in area's of the world with higher natural levels of nuclear radiation, live healthier lives on average.

Case in point: Chernobyl.

As has been previously stated, a lot of people seem to moan about radiation, pollution etc on the internet... but they are doing so using computer systems that were built using materials and components created with the aid of radiation and pollution, shipped to them with the aid of pollution, and fundamentally powered by the aid of pollution and radiation.

Unless anyone on here is a caveman who can post using some sort of telepathic gift, I'd consider winding your neck in if you want moan about such things as radiation.

Radiation is all around us. Light, heat, tv and radio transmissions, background radiation from rocks and cosmic radiation that makes it through the atmosphere etc. it's all around us alone the time.

The word radiation conjures up images of the effects of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chenobyl. Modern life wouldn't be possible without it. Xrays, CT scans, MRIs and radiotherapy gone

Swear away.

I bet you have a pet dinosaur too?

Regardless, you might want to stay indoors for the rest of your life, and wrap yourself in tin foil.

No, he died just before Christmas. The whole family was gutted and wouldn't leave the cave for a week.
Don't be so patronising son, you've no idea.

Also, stop crossing the road, as you might get run over.

I've just put an offer in on a cave. Can't wait to move in.


What's the area like? May join you.


Sod's Law would be that the cave would have a leakage of radioactive Radon gas through the rock - and that would get you PDQ

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness

Is that what it was, Radon? I thought someone had dropped their handbag.
