Tobacco certainly doesn't cause all lung cancer, and most smokers won't get it, either.

But the numbers do demonstrate that you're far more likely to get that cancer if you do smoke. It's pretty hard to refute.

When I go on vacation to Central America, I smoke cigars at the beach. It's too fun.

"Do you really want you or your family to be exposed to this chemical regularly?"

I use it all the time, have it on my hands, breath it, probably eat it when I eat lunch and have for years.

Perchlor is a lousy substitute for trichlor which not only worked better but smelled and tasted a lot better.

Been using it for 50 years and haven't been sick in 60 years.

All the things that are supposed to kill you make your immune system stronger and make you impervious to almost everything.

All I'm asking is that you get consistent on your paranoia.

I suggest you look up the definitions of "paranoia" and "consistent".

There is nothing irrational or "paranoid" about wanting to minimize contact with chemicals stated to be harmful ton humans on an MSDS sheet.

And there is nothing "consistent" about your unbalanced comparisons of putting gas in your car to wearing clothing all day containing poisonous chemicals.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Which are merely guidelines and not based on objective science. Trust me, I worked in manufacturing for years and came into contact with dozens of chemicals listed on the MSDS. So far I don't have glowing green eyes and 7 arms.

Somehow I don't think I want to be the one to test this theory. LOL

With all due respect you are a very foolish person.

MSDS sheets are required by the Govt to protect the population against the risks of exposure to various chemicals.

Your suggestion that we can ignore them without consequence is extremely irresponsible.

Face it. You can't make your irrational and unbalanced arguments understandable or acceptable because they are stupid.

You want to wear and cloth your family with clothing cleaned in known carcinogens then go for it.

Jorge,

Let me ask you a question. Did California ban the chemical because of people wearing clothes that were dry cleaned?

I'll answer for you, because you're too paranoid to be honest.

"No."

There. Good answer.

You are even more paranoid than liberal eco-freak California lawmakers, and that is a stunningly high bar to cross.

Where did I say MSDS regulations should be ignored?

All they are is just guidelines, published as part of overall workplace safety. Nothing but an FYI mandated by government.

What do you think ordinary laundry detergent, Clorox bleach, and Bounce dryer sheets are made out of? All- natural ingredients?

You're right!

Whatever made California suspect that people actually wear the clothes that were dry cleaned!

You are a genius!

At the rate they're going, no one in that state will be in need of a clean suit by 2023 anyway



You are right--those Mao suits don't need dry cleaning.

I wish I could say the same about you. You pointedly did not respond to my request to provide some evidence that wearing clothes that had been dry cleaned poses the slightest hazard to anyone's health.

I wonder why that is.

Just kidding, not really. You can't.

Right. And I choose the side of safety.

Maybe because if a person is too stupid to comprehend the risks and hazzards stated on an MSDS sheet for a chemical..I don't have much hope they will grasp the dangers of wearing them on their body. Just kidding, not really. You can't.

You've repeatedly insulted me on this thread, and to some extent I've given it back by asserting that you're paranoid.

I will reciprocate in like kind to your last post. I am glad that you are too stupid to recognize what is a real danger and what is not.

I am glad that you're so stupid that you buy into the liberals' arguments.

I'm glad that you're too stupid to recognize that most of the clothing you wear contains synthetic fibers that are made from supposedly carcinogenic materials and that you're wearing them everyday.

If you're wearing only fur and no underpants, I take the last accusation back.

If you want to bring the discussion back to the facts, you may. If you want to continue the insults, I'm cool with that too.
