Irritating local news story

Not open for further replies.
So all week Fox 43 news has been running an ad for an upcoming story. "E-cigarettes: safer than smoking, or hidden dangers?" in an ominous voice :glare:
Everytime it comes on my wife says "see? You gotta watch it. Could be dangerous!" Then I say "You want me to start smoking again?" Shuts her up. ;)

As soon as we can eliminate people using disposables and pre-filled cartridges, we're going to have to worry about that imbalance in the equation of it being safe *edit*- via news BS. I'm saying safe, because I am inhaling something into my lungs other than air, so it is as safe as it can be... safer than air on some days in traffic actually.

VG, PG, and PEG can be used to sanitize the air, but not in the typical form that we think of as sanitize. They're neutralizing agents. They are good mediums to pretty much come in contact with a compound and enabling it inert by absorption. VG has been shown to help lung damage from smoking help repair itself faster. They all have inhalant pharmaceutical applications. Plus, a lot more. Let's talk about uses of chemicals in tobacco...

Ammonia can be used to disinfect anything it comes in contact with, including tissues. Oh, too bad my body is just bacteria working together.. I'll stop with that.

Expect the worst
Faux news

Lets ask Google
"cnn news lying" = 3.3 Million results
"cbs news lying" = 4.5 Million results
"nbc news lying" = 7.5 Million results
"fox news lying" = 45.8 Million results

"Fox News viewers were the least informed. In fact, FDU poll results showed they were even less informed than those who say they don’t watch any news at all."

Sadly, its even worse than that. More than half of the voting population voted for this administration, twice. Talk about uninformed...

You think the problem all lies in the administration's lap? You DO realize that our government has hundreds of other people running it, namely CONGRESS. You know, the guys who actually WRITE the legislation?

Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for letting me know.

The nanny state agenda belongs to one party.

And that's another load. Politicians from BOTH sides of the aisle are chipping away at our freedoms in the name of "protecting" the people or "protecting" the morality of society. It all amounts to the same thing for us. We get suffocated by laws that dictate what we can do, what we can say, when and where we can do it or say it, what we can choose about our own bodies....the list goes on and on.

You can opt to vilify one side for their "nanny" ways but you're being shortsighted if you don't recognize the other side for their part in restricting our rights as supposedly free citizens in a supposedly free country.

The divisiveness is patently ridiculous and is destroying our country. Our team is better than YOUR team blah blah blah.

I got news for you, it's not liberals against conservatives...it's us against THEM, the ruling party that is in the deep pockets of the corporate world.

Wow, this got political really fast. I think it's important for ALL of us to remember that we are on the same side when it comes to e-cig legislation and regulations. We are for e-cigs and their benefits over smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. Word.

I just found it amusing one who would bash Fox News viewers for being uninformed more than likely support a party who would take away their e-cig, but they, themselves are not informed enough to know it.

Yeah, it gets really frustrating when it goes like this.

Oh, come on. That wasn't necessary.

She's right. Let's bring this back on topic.
