Cell phones cause cancer. Ban them for the children.

"Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer" Well, that just about covers everything in life!

Maybe its all the crap kids are putting in their pie hole?

The list of reasons to ban cell phones is MUCH longer than possible cancer connections...

Granite counter-tops cause cancer. Save the children.

Why restrict it to either race or gender? I'm gonna start carrying a .22 when I walk home for lunch, and plink all the idiots yacking on the phone, driving 15 over the limit on my 35mph residential street, not using their turnsignals while they cut me off as I legally cross the street.

I'll need donations, because I'll be going through 50 rounds a day, easy. Not kidding. I live 3 blocks away.

That's got to be one of the most racist remarks I've seen on the board.

"The question is do you want to play Russian roulette with your brain," she said in an interview from her cell phone while using the hands-free speaker phone as recommended. "I don't know that cell phones are dangerous. But I don't know that they are safe."

Oh dear God! What COULDN'T you make that argument for?

Here is a better one...All asian people are short.

If one lived in an area where the demographics were tilted towards a black majority, I could see there being a disproportionate amount of black women seen talking whilst driving. However, I'm in Atlanta several times during the week (largely considered a black majority)and it's usually the forty-something average white 'suits' being putzes (hmm. sp?) in their MB sedans swerving down GA 400. I don't think it's a racial issue but a personality-type issue. Over motivated people who are trying to cling to every dollar they can and the average individual who cannot stand the sound of silence.

Hahahahaha! Perfect comeback!

I'd stop short of racist, and just go for sexist. Women in general. And keep it vague, make sure it includes text messaging, eating, applying makeup, and singing.

Then you haven't been around THIS board nearly enough to know what goes on here routinely. It IS a racist remark, but a mild one compared to some of the others I've read here.

This bbs really needs Paul Harvey...

Here is the real story: A noted Cancer Researcher has warned his laboratory employees that prolonged use of cell phones can elevate cancer rates. He advised them to not overuse their cell phones. His basis is some new research.
