just to mainly be annoying here, but ya'll forget there is no research to actually link Radioactive Materials with cancer of anykind, and the fact that this desease has plagued people from long before we even knew about radioactive materials - the only thing we are sure of what they cause is Radiation Posioning.
As radiation poisioning breaks down all of your celluar structure and cancer mutates the dna causing it to grow more rapidly than can be handled, i'm not even sure how the same substance could cause such opposite end effects
and haggisman as a point, the longer the half-life the longer the decay rate is but also the slower the particles will expand - and more oftenly than not, it isn't the overwhelming exposure that causes the damage but the speed of which they pass through you.
and a little side note, but erm why would touching telsa coils be like touching lead?
Lead is a very useless conductor, and they use a polyblend of aluminium and steel within alot of electrical products.
finally about America's unvolvement ... i'd like to say, i've sat down and i've tried over and over and over to find out exactly WHY the US even declared war over Iraq.
If you look at it, Australia is there simply because of their ties to the UK - i mean even though they're now independant, they still have strong ties unlike the break the US took there are no hard feelings between us.
From Britians pov, we're just comming along for the ride ... and from their actions within the middle east it shows that they weren't there to be the agressors but be there for support.
So we have the Aussies sending in a few good men to make sure paths are clear ... we have the Brits giving the Aid and making sure the population is safe from reprisal.
The Aussies job is done, they've packed up and gone home.
The Brits are still there keeping everyone safe and making sure the aid comes in unhindered.
The Americans are doing what exactly?
have you noticed that they have troops searching for these weapons of mass destruction (funny that none have been found yet), and they're also protecting the
oil fields. They are not doing any protection work on the population... infact really for them it is as if the conflict isn't over. They're not trying to make friends by tear the country apart for something.
and remember all this without UN backing which they made it clear from day one they didn't care to get, and i'd wager alot of money that if Blair wasn't aboard with this then there would never have even been the attempt to get the backing.
Every step of the way Blair did try to make this conflict legitimate, his involvment in it was stupid from the get go ... however as the US was going to do this anyway, then the solution was to tag along as make out that we are the good guys in all of this.
Restore those relations we lost in the Gulf.
I mean you notice how it wasn't until ANOTHER meeting with Bush that Blair said "yes, there is evidence that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction"
the guy is a weazle, but atleast you can see that some of his intensions are to make a slightly better situation out of a terrible one.
If the US truely believed in helping these people, and this wasn't about money, oil, power balances ... then why did they not overthrow him a decade ago?
why did it take 2buildings and 4,000+ lives for them to say "right, we're going to do something about him" - something which he had nothing to do with.
America has been acting like a bully at school who's been humiliated, and they're just striking out at anyone they choose because they can build the evidence against them...
Tsu'va Oni Ni Jyuuko Fiori Sei Tau!
One block follows the suit ... the whole suit of blocks is the path ... what have you found?
