    I would've missed the whole article, but the vifferbabe said, "Hmmmm... it appears you were right - the traffic fumes are responsible for your mentalness!"
    ... and that's what I think.

    Yeah, "Diesel fumes [could] damage your brain" makes a catchy news bite to sandwich in between "The kiwi who kept his girlfriend on ice" and "Jennifer reunites with Brad".

    "Diesel fumes could damage your kiwi girlfriend's reunited ice, says Jennifer"?

    Diesel emissions also contain benzpyrene if not adequately scrubbed. This is a carcinogen so Jennifer is fu**ed all ways, so to speak

    Persuasive articles ask you to make a decision. They don't need to persuade you completely, they just have to get you to see their point of view, or appeal to your attractiveness program, or appeal to your sympathy, or any one of a number of techniques they have at their disposal - they do it for a living. I don't read such articles any more, because I find they are way more skilled than I, and I end up doing things, feeling things, or believing things that I don't want to.

    If I can't judge it, I disregard it. I make up my own mind on the basis of solid facts, not a cleverly written persuasive article by some overtly qualified conmunications(sic) expert. I watch a large percentage of the population subscribe to this science - they take you very quietly and softly by the hand and lead you and show you what they want you to see. You will never disagree with them - you couldn't if you wanted to. Not only that, but many will be crusaders for them now. Insane isn't it ?

    Watch what you think.

    Believing things you don't want to? How terrible!

    But yeah, I see what you're saying. It's hard to assess the credibility of the information you receive. You certainly can't believe everything you read in the papers.

    I not sure if not reading this now. When did they work this out?

    Oh man - and I thought it was the drugs!

    Back in the '70's when I worked in truck shops - to get the trucks out in the morning we'd have to start and run them up to 80psi before the spring brakes would release.The whole shop would be full of cold smoke and water would be streaming from our eyes.

    So if I didn't work on trucks and stuff.....I could of taken heaps more drugs and got pissed every night...and still be like I am now.I feel ripped off - I'm gunna sue someone.I reckon I'm owed 100 Budda sticks and 50 tabs of chocolate microdots.But they can keep the 40 dozen of continuous fermentation Lion Red....I wouldn't drink that shit now.
