    It’s like what Burt Reynolds’s said about Lonnie Anderson; ‘What good is being married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, if she never wants to f__k?

    It's never been scientifically shown to be of any concern.

    The same science that won’t determine when life begins?
    The same science touted by Fraud Fauci?
    The same science that refuses to study Autism?
    You mean that science?

    Depends. I spent 6 years working for the post office or rather a contractor for them. Between the stress of teaming with only 12 hours of home time a week and 1 week off a year (it was 24 hours off but 12 was in the sleeper 4 were driving to and from the truck as well as getting my team driver who was also my dad and the rest was whatever) the added stress of events like the 2 weeks with no heat in -20+ degrees or summer of no AC and trying to sleep in a moving truck all the falling apart equipment. The constant beeps and whistles, the nanny cams where i literally got written up once for holding a rag up during a nose bleed to avoid getting soaked with blood the no food or drink allowed in the truck and everything else....


    Well the beeps and whistles are what caused me to snap. Now that i work someplace where i get a few days to decompress every month and dont have all that overload ontop of the beeps im pretty hard to phase. And before you ask why i stayed it was a direct favor to my parents who needed that job and insurance and as a result needed me as a team driver to keep it.

    After that though ill never drive another beeping truck. That sound still makes my blood boil.

    Every Thursday just before noon I am reminded that it's not so bad to hear the truck "talking" to me. (Direct deposit hits every Thursday just before noon.)

    Come at me with something real and intelligible or don't come at me at all.

    I don't know about being suppressed, but I have read some about EMF dangers. There has been some research on the higher instances of cancer and low sperm counts of people that work around strong EMFs every day. Also, I have read that men, in general, are showing low sperm counts over the last 30 years. I don't fully subscribe to that stuff about cell phones, but I do think there is enough empirical data that shows EMFs are VERY dangerous!

    Electronics in things like vehicles are not strong enough to emit dangerous EMFs.

    I know. This is why I said I did not subscribe to that stuff about cell phones. They do emit EMFs because that is how cell phones work. I don't know just how dangerous ANY EMF is over years of exposure. There is research going on on these questions and more. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out in 10 to 20 years.
