no one has established alarm clocks arnt dangerous, ban them, have a word with yourself,
But alarm clocks have been round long enough to have been proven harmless, unless of course lazyitis is a disease?
Time wise this is NOT the case with with contaminated meat and mobile phones, only time will tell if they do, as many believe, cause CJD (mad cow disease) and brain cancer respectively! Do you eat a lot of beef?
you cant prove anything harmless, you can only prove it does harms people, anything else remains an unknow, the best you can say for anything is it wont harm people in specified doses, a fridge will harm you if you drink enough of the coolant, if you eat enough lettuce you will die and if you put 10 million radioactive alarm clocks in the same room as you, you may regret it, especially if the alarms all went off together
you could well draw a correlation between the use of radioactive material on clock hands and the rise of diagnosed cancers, but then you could do that for electric kettes as well and bananas but not mobys, unless you care to post the graph
simply saying we dont know if its harmful is the only thing that can be said for anything, the burden of proof then rest with those who affirm
i admit we dont know if cancers will suddenly appear as a result of mobies, in 50 years time, but we dont know if they will because of fridge magnets either
