Those two things are the same. We have languished in every war that
we did not finally become grimly mercilous in prosecuting. Dresden,
Hiroshima/Nagasaki, those were turning points, we stoppped apologizing
for collateral damage and INTENDED to kill civilians, which is where
a nation's power resides.

This is extremely sick.

At least in those instances, the US didn't _start_ the bloody thing.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Thanks,
Rich

Liar. I've told you what you have a right to do, to own a home,
now, this instant, to be paid absolutely equally per hour for
any and all democratically sanctioned work, to work more to
earn more, to build your castle as you please, to receive free
medical and vacation and retirement.

Yeah, OK.

And I imagine the time I stopped at a gas station and ended up repairing
a girls alternator (an hour in the dark and pissing rain) because she
had broken down would likewise offend you.

Ah, heck, that's nothin'! I once stopped at a stalled car on the freeway
and pushed it out of the traffic lane with my bare hands, un-jamming
hundreds, maybe thousands of cars!

It felt good! :-D

What if that's exactly what the 18-year old was doing? The

started the fight with a sucker punch.

Now, what's the sentence?

Even if he;s 12, first one who hits goes to prison at labor.
We don't need these loose nuts around unchained.

Put him to work, let him have some fun in his off time,

There is a small problem with set theory here Rich; also your choice of
words leaves something to be desired - for your assertion to hold,
smoking would need to be the ONLY cause for cancer. Best not to think
about Benzene (hey, isnt that in cigarette smoke?), xylene, toluene

etc.

No, it is benzpyrene. AFAICT, all those couldn't exist in the smoke
because they would've been burned up in the combustion.

I'll give you a hint:

"for your assertion to hold, smoking would need to be the ONLY cause for
cancer. Best not to think about Benzene, Xylene or Toluene"

All of which are carcinogens we encounter daily (its in unleaded
petrol), in direct contradiction to the requirement for smoking to be
the ONLY cause of cancer. Likewise we probably better ignore ultraviolet
radiation - skin cancer etc etc.

Although you are quite correct that none of the 3 would survive in
cigarette smoke as they are highly flammable. I just seemed to remember
reading something about benzene-like nasties in cigarette smoke, hence
the aside which perhaps obfuscated the sentence, but thanks for the info.

Sorry about the confusion.

Benzine is a carcinogen according to the gov't.
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/tfacts3.html

However, this is what the gov't has to say about xylene:
<<
How likely are xylenes to cause cancer?

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined
that xylene is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity in humans.

Human and animal studies have not shown xylene to be carcinogenic, but
these studies are not conclusive and do not provide enough information
to conclude that xylene does not cause cancer.
This is what the gov't has to say about toluene:
<<
How likely is toluene to cause cancer?

Studies in humans and animals generally indicate that toluene does not
cause cancer.

The EPA has determined that the carcinogenicity of toluene can not be
classified.

It may be sheer coincidence (in fact it probably is) but in the UK Raleigh
(sp?) used to sell a range of products called the RSW range. It was a girl's
bike.

Does Raleigh still build the "Abby?"

Perhaps I am mistaken re. Xylene and Toluene, but perhaps not. But I
knew Benzene was a nasty one. IMO all evil hydrocarbon solvents are to
be avoided - we are hydrocarbons .

I mentioned it here a while back, but in the late 70s a friend of mine
did a study for the NZ military on the effects of radar installations on
health. They looked at the medical history of pretty much the whole
military, and found no correlation at all to radar proximity. OTOH they
found that armourers didnt make it past 65, and painters fared little
better. Johns conclusion? Bugger the RF, stay the hell away from nasty
chemicals.

Almost every day we are discovering work-related illnesses - almost all
of which involve people handling nasty chemicals (hell, often with no
PPE at all, workers saturated in evil shit like DDT or 2,4,5T).

And of course recent studies have shown a HUGE increase in Leukaemia for
kids who live next door to petrol stations - 5x or so.

Benzo-A-Pyrene.

I know. I was one of ~125 coders, who coded a collection of ~3,000,000
pages of documents. After a few months, words like benzo-a-pyrene seem
to lose their meaning.

Also ASHRAE, which, of course, we all pronounced "ash tray".

Sick building syndrome was a big hoopla back in those days. With all
the energy conservation hysteria, they started sealing up air leaks,
which caused the air to become stale and stagnant, and _everything_
that goes into the air stays, and hangs there, forever. From alpha-
emitting radon to dust mite feces, the air was loading up with
carcinogenic pollutants.

So what do they do? In their zeal to "clean up the air," they banned
tobacco smoke.

This is exactly the wrong thing to do. What banning tobacco smoke
does is, it removes the best possible indicator of poor ventilation.
They got rid of the visible smoke, so the benzene, formaldehyde,
all manner of volatile organic hydrocarbons, bacterial spores,
fungal spores, viral spores, active viruses, live bacteria, carbon
monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, radon, dust mite feces, dust mites,
dust, human effluvia, etc, etc, etc, built up.

And the motherfuckers _still_ blame smoking for all their ills.

Stupid motherfucking nazi assholes.

Rich

Yeah, but toluene is the part of airplane glue that gets you high
when you sniff it. So, naturally they'll ban that. They hate anything
that even remotely has anything to do with pleasure.

A puritan is a guy who just can't accept the fact that he was _born_
in bed with a lady.
