Dynamo Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The US military and NATO reject all the studies linking the use of Depleted Uranium weapons to increased rates in cancer and birth defects, in both our own troops and civilians living in war zones. Do you agree with the Military's claims? Here's a video showing both sides: www.youtube.com/user/3dbabes?feature=mhum#p/a/u/0/F_xyoC9YfKE www.youtube.com/user/3dbabes?feature=mhum#p/a/u/0/TZwyh0ttxak If Depleted Uranium is safe, then why did Kuwait ship 6,700 TONs of sand contaminated with Depleted Uranium by the US military, all the way across the world to be buried in Idaho in 2008?

Walsingham Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Well, obyknven, the short answer is that it's no more dangerous than anything we chuck about. I knew a chap who worked with it all the time, just wearing a dust suit. Two happy bouncing kids. His precise words on the subject were: "I wouldn't want to eat it, but then I wouldn't want to eat lead either, and we fire that at people." "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Zoraptor Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) I think your Walsingham alt may be getting a bit tired Monte, time to retire him. Sheesh, suggesting everyone you disagree with is an alt is just so... feeble. Edited May 7, 2011 by Zoraptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Did you know that nickel salts are carcinogenic? And that iron can be poisonous? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Odds are that uranium dust is a whole lot worse for you. Banning dum dums and white phosphorous is stupid, banning cluster bombs certainly is not. Weapons shouldn't be banned because they are good at killing and maiming, that's what they are supposed to do, but a continuous health risk for the civilian population long after the weapon has been deployed, that's something else. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I think your Walsingham alt may be getting a bit tired Monte, time to retire him. Sheesh, suggesting everyone you disagree with is an alt is just so... feeble. Suggesting that somebody posts this out of the blue and isn't either an alt or a spambot is about as likely as me winning the national lottery. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Rosbjerg Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Whether or not this poster is an alt or not isn't really relevant to the topic.. You can send PMs to Dynamo if you wish to discuss it - otherwise please refrain from derailment. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
