Weapons of Mass Destruction

[GAsux]

You know it's kind of a trend here.

Every time we have the DU argument, Ranxer explains how DU is responsible for killing millions of Bosnian/Iraqi/whoevers. First, I think you ought to check your numbers because if Du alone killed that many people, there would be no Iraqis left. The birth rate could not possibly keep up with the unbelievable natural mortality rate, no to mention the hundreds/thousands/millions you claim are dying as a result of DU.

And it's a good safe argument for you. You see, all you have to do is claim that all those deaths ARE a result of DU. How can anyone argue that? "Well actually the cancer was caused by prolonged exposure to Diet Dr. Pepper." You see, your claiming as fact something that is little more than opinion at this point.

The worst part of it is, if that's what you want to believe, more power to you. But when you completely disregard everything that challenges your claim as "government propaghanda" you're only kidding yourself.

DU very may well be the cause of hundreds/thousands/millions of deaths. I find it strange that so many scientists agree that DU effects won't be known for quite some time, and only after a significant long term study. Perhaps you've choosen the wrong career path, since apparently your research has already proved conclusive, at least in your mind. Maybe you could help explain it to the scientists.

I have nothing against people who have deep rooted convictions and opinions. I don't however so much like people who have convinced themselves that their opinions are facts.

Here's the bottom line:

FACT: Studies on the health effects of DU are varied and inconclusive.

But ignore this Ranxer, as you often do. Ignore it and reply by posting another site/"expert" claiming that DU is the great Satan causing all man's calamities. I'll refrain from posting equally inconclusive studies that indicate no such harmful effects can be proven so that you can go on thinking you're opinion is fact.
