Danish Politicians accidentally bans all modern electronics

....Silly Denmark.
But really, this will either get overturned before 015, or no one will give a shit.

They want to ban some dangerous endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC's) which makes sense.

They want to ban compounds that are safe 99.99999% of the time. Plastic softeners (BPA is one of these, if you've ever wondered what all the BPA Free bottle labels are about) can only cause endocrine disruption in very specific doses (too high a dose, no problem occurs, to a low a dose, no problem occurs) and if people were getting the right doses we'd know about it already. These things have been out for decades, with no pandemic of birth defects (which along with weight loss is the only documented side effect of feeding the stuff to rats). The entire thing is fucking nuts from the word go.

This is like when the Green Party in NZ wanted to ban H20 because it is a component of Atomic Weapons

I could see NZ passing that law. Their politicians are kind of retarded.

Apparently the Green Party member's comment thing was criticized by the National Party, one of whose members did the same thing later on.

So yeah, New Zealand may someday be the first country to ban H20.



I want to see if we can get chlorine-containing compounds banned in foods here. There is already a movement to boycott or ban Splenda, and one of the reasons cited is because its molecule includes chlorine atoms, so it shouldn't be hard.

Ah yes, Denmark. The country of Lars von Trier's Antichrist. Figures.
