WTF!
I'm sitting here with my jaw on the floor, how can this European body come up with this without a single, not a SINGLE shred of evidence to back it up.
Science really has been thrown out of the window, the policy decisions of the EU are drifting into make believe.
What exactly did these 'experts' come up with? 'My mate gets headaches when he uses his phone? The kids in my sons's school alll fidgity when the wifi is switched on?
It reminds me of a huge trial done in the UK a few years back, the conclusion for
childhood exposure was there was no effect whatsoever to be found, but he leading scientist said that children should limit their exposure anyway.
Which is exactly the same as saying there is no evidence rabbits explode, but it would be a good idea to stay away from them anyway.

 

[pikeh]

compared it to asbestos...fuck me in the beard.

 

[Wij]

Fucking retards tbh.

 

[rynnor]

I would do the same thing for different reasons - kids messing with their phones are too distracted to study properly.

 

[Job]

Except 'messing ' with phones is the future and studying will die out.

 

[kiliarien]

Wll what a bunch of monkey toss. I swear EU MP's get fucking nuttier as they rattle about the institutions with nothing useful to do and make up nonsense laws and resolutions. Comparison to asbestos is kind of fair because it took a long time before people realised, but compare it to smoking where the health issues were really bloody obvious just that tobacco firms stepped in all the way to block changes that govts tried to make. Plain silly.

That said Job you have me scared now, I'm staying well away from bunnies, particularly the ones in pet stores, that could create a chain reaction.

Think that's a bit kneejerk reacting, all they're really doing is being concerned about possible EMF problems.

The ban on mobiles in schools would, as mentioned before, be a good thing as kids would actually focus more. Screw what the kids feel, school isn't meant to be fun

Banning them due to EMF though, well, that has to go into the overprotective side.

First of all, tinfoil hats focus the rays into your head. I thought all paranoics knew this. </joke>

Banning mobile phones from classrooms by law isn't such a bad idea in itself. Mobiles are a distraction and pupils should be paying attention to the classwork. I just find the reason for this proposed ban to be disingenuous. Unfortunately a lot of policy seems to be based on loose or wooly research or downright opinion. Peer reviewed research should be the basis for making policy decisions, not anecdotal stories from people who think their ear is getting hot because of radiation from their phone.

 

[Job]

So they have this 'evidence' or whatever to recommend a ban in the classroom,
but magically it's ok at home, and it's ok for the rest of us to fry our cells.
How can they possibly on any level suggest that emf's cause biological problems and not call for a total ban.

Years ago loonies used to stand on street corners with 'end of the world' placards, now they are running the show and rational people are in the street
shouting 'no it's not'.

Cell Phones and Tobacco: A Parallel History?

 

[TdC]

tbh I would be all for a mobile squelcher in schools. every exam I've had since restarting has had some moron in it who gets called and everyone has to listen to his/her katy perry ringtone while s/he scrabbles frantically in a bag.

the supervisors ask to have your phones off, but the retards never seem to realize this means them :/

 

[Ormorof]

hehe i had exactly the same experience, was in an exam and a guys phone went off, the supervisors said "ok we havent started yet whoever it is come up and turn it off please, if it rings during the exam you will be disqualified"

after it has rung around 10 times (during the exam) they find the coat and hold it up and a dude sheepishly reaches into the pocket and turns it off... but they didnt kick him out which i thought a bit stupid (why threaten someone with being kicked out if you are not going to follow through?)

 

[TdC]

indeed. imo they should have failed the asshat

my exams are currenlty of the "you have 10% too little time" variety, and about 80% of the class is still writing when the timer goes. I do not have the time to be distracted by retards tbh.

 

[Ormorof]

yeah especially since we had been told about 100 times to turn phones off BEFORE we went into the room, and then again another 100 times before we sat down for the exam

teenagers pfft

i think they should ban them in school because they are shit annoying when you are actually trying to work

 

[Ch3tan]

They should ban phones from school because they are a distraction, they should ban wireless from use in any school or business because it's a pile of steaming poop.

if watermelons can explode why not rabbits?!
