This is ridiculous. I grew up in a house heated by firewood and I never got any breathing disease. Pizza is a vegetable Sugar is Toxic Firewood is the seed of the apocalypse. No. Request denied. | ||

Now even more reasons not to light our fireplace, on top of even being cheaper to use an oil-radiator. | ||

Agree until the 'moral certainty'. Fundamentally, science does not provide moral truths, only ambiguously provides a fundament for certain points of view. He falls into his own trap. | ||

I am asking because this is so unimagineable for me in germany. I can honestly say that I know only of two people that I met in my whole life that truely beliefe in it. Both are girls and one of them is retarded. Maybe some more would like to believe in it because they like the idea but can't because their intelligence prevents them to. Some other practice it out of tradition. Also I don't know a single guy that cares for religion. | ||

It's a metaphor used to show how we are inherently resistant to facts that contradict our own beliefs, to such an extent that we actively deny and ignore the facts to continue believing what we want to believe. edit: probably too harsh. I read the thread and I agree with the point about resisting religious arguments but considering the recent string of baffling political events in the US, I still stand by my post. Firewood smoke is no worse that everything else we're already breathing. | ||

He is also an atheist which tells me he looked at the arguments for god, decided that you couldnt answer the question (or misunderstood the arguments) and then decided to give a positive answer anyway. When you take those 2 things in conjunction you shuold just stop reading. As for how wood smoke makes me feel? I smoke, but i dont smoke sticks because the smoke is really harsh. So does it suprise me? Not at all. But then again i havent tried smoking a particular blend of wood smoke from a blend of dried woods wrapped in a specific kind of paper that has been refined into something that is enjoyuable to smoke. So once again its a neurologist operating from a set of really bad assumptions to make a point that is not in any way objective or meaningful. You grew up in a house with firewood - that presumably had a chimney. Also most people when i was a kid had the same ... the point is that you therefor don't have a baseline to measure against - because *everyone* is under the same considerations. That would be like only studying people with neurological conditions or assuming that you can somehow map neurons firing to a thought process in something that is doing a million things at once and somehow build a causal picture of how it works (when the process of gathering statistical data specifically precludes anything other than being able to say that this is likely to be causal - but we dont know why - to a 95% chance) | ||

Obviously gases from burnt wood is going to be harmful Nothing new.. but saying the wood smoke is worse than cigarettes is just stupid Cigarettes are directly inhaled not many people stand to the direction of the smoke in a fireplace to sniff up all the smoke.... only the retards.. only. I hate how health hazards are being so exaggerated by scientific notes, simply cause of things like this.. Especially those cancer related problems... *hint* "Mobile phones give you cancer" Another example of technically true.. but probability.. very low | ||

So we eradicate one source of small scale pollution but totally ignore the millions of others around us all the time. Running and smoking doesnt mix ... so why do people run beside roads with traffic? You may as well sit at home go on a running machine then have a fag after. Yet those runners will feel like they are being better than me. Klesky: No, probably not too harsh ;p if people cant read calling them names in text really isn't that harsh. | ||
