Hyperspeed, what 'microwave emitting device'? They don't emit microwaves, and you can argue all you want, but there's no evidence that they are causing cancer. (Else, why hasn't there been any correlation between mobile usage and cancer?)
Mobile phones (/cell phones) do not operate on UHF/VHF. They use 0.4W microwave energy. When a phone is switched on it will keep in touch with the mast in order to receive call information, SMS updates. When you make a phonecall a mobile phone will use 30x more power output than when you are TXT'ing.
There
have been correlations made between mobile use and cancer. Trouble is the experts are fighting each other because the industry is worth so much.
In mice the constant radiation from a mobile heated up the brain and caused tumours. It made the mouse's sperm inactive too.
I recently obtained a leaflet from an Orange shop (a service provider in the UK) and it showed a diagram of radiation intensity in relation to a mast. Basically, stay away from the cone around the bottom.
Some people have been known to hear and taste microwaves, some people feel light headed in their presence and one group of majorettes all passed out after marching through the immediate 'cone' around the base of a mast. In fact whenever someone TXTs me my computer speakers beep-beep-beep even when the headphones are in and I've noticed a friend's CRT monitor flicker too.
I once read about microwave ovens and how a Swedish professor was threatened after he established facts about microwaves. These ovens deplete vitamins and damage molecules. There have been recorded incidences of hospital patients having their blood transfusion warmed from the blood bank and they end up dying. Same for babies receiving milk placed in a microwave.
Combine these interesting theories with the junk food, industrial pollution, contraceptive pills, household chemicals (washing up liquid can mess up your hormones), constant air traffic noise and the fact most kids are now wearing small magnets in their ears (24Hr iPod anyone?) then it's no wonder a load of them are jilted killers.
The biggest problem ultimately is poverty though. Has Tony Blair's 'New Labour' solved this? Do monkeys fly out of my butt?
Have University fees been imposed? Are dentists all going private? Are the '10%' getting richer? Is the UK's debt now in excess of 1-Trillion pounds? Are we the European capital of cocaine, teenage pregnancy and illiteracy?
