Ban the use of wireless networks? These fucking retards are simply setting a new standard of fucking stupid retards.
Though finally we do have a lawsuit stupid enough to beat out the dumb bitch who sued her school to get on its football team, then sued after being injured on it because the school didn't warn her that could happen.

Are we allowed to sue these parents over taking up court time and money with this bull shit? Soon someones gonna sue gravity for making him fall back down to earth after he jumped off a building if lawsuits keep getting exponetially stupider as time goes on.

I can't wait to read the statement of the judge who throws this out of court.

More evidence for my longstanding argument that far more science classes should be made mandatory in public school, in addition to education in critical thinking. I will wager that these idiots will find many sympathetic ears, even though they probably won't win anything.

As Qui-Gon once said the ability to communicate does not indicate sentiance. Apparently the ability to file a lawsuit doesn't either.

Oh yes, just very recently in my town several parents filed a lawsuit against the local radio station, claiming the radio waves were giving the kids cancer.

Moreover, classes in critical thinking need to be introduced at an early age. Some colleges have tried to emphasize this in their core curiculum, but the effectiveness is limited in my experience. Part of this is due to the questionable ability of the instructors to think critically, to be sure.
Still, critical thinking is more of a mindset than a skill, IMO. You can learn new tools and get more experience in how to do it at the college level, but if you're not already a questioning person, it's gonna take a lot more work to learn how to think critically at that stage in your life.
I think media analysis as an emphasis of critical thinking also needs to be taught early on. Given how much information children absorb from television these days, teaching them how to analyze what they're being presented with.

but critical thinking will lead to the tykes questioning hypocracy in media and in authority long before they become adolecents. This would result in anarky. Just ask any closed minded demogog who wants people to remain sheep. Or any parent who doesn't want to be constantly challenged. Definatly not going to go over well with the administrations freevibe.com and other propaganda.

Shit, the damn power lines generate more power than the damn wireless network adapters do.
I live right under a huge powerline tower and I've yet to become affected by it.
