tameelf Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 As i walked through the scanner at Liverpool docks after a day trip, the bleep went off. Strange I thought, only thing I was carrying different to the outward passage was a woolly Liverpool hat. I had a lighter on me so i put that in the tray, again I set the alarms off. "Sir do you have any coins" (these went in the tray), watch, brackets and neck chains" asked the security staff. No I said not even a piercing. Then i remembered. "Oh my drugs I Said". "Sir i can refuse you passage for using that word", as i put my heart spray in the tray. Pardon me says I," if they are not drugs what are they?". The only difference between these drugs and the other drugs is the patent. "Sir you may board the ship" came the reply, what a step down not even the customary grope (pat down) that made me think though. Then in Mondays examiner I read the drug squad is being renamed. (am i experiencing subliminal reeducation). Also there was the headline antidepressants and the elderly, well I read no further it smelt like legalized Dr shipmanizm. Suicide and antidepressants are factually linked, theres more kids die using antidepressants than die of heroin abuse. I used to listen to Manx radio and on hearing a caller getting a slagging for trying to inform the uninformed as to a alternative to cancer treatment, that just happened to be shown on TV four years ago. I decided to email not once but a few times Manx Radio as to certain products on the market that are deadly, but the voice of the nation wont pass on the info to the ears of the nation. So I say don't drink Pepsi or coke they contain a nontoxic called aspartame heres a link http://www.wnho.net/links-aspartame.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 No offence, but were you on drugs when you just wrote that, or have you never heard of punctuation? So hard to read I gave up half way through, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstream Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Nice one tameelf. You made your point very well I would say. I read right the way through and understood every word.

WilDDog Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I think the post makes perfect sense. Thanks for the information Tame Elf I didn't know and I bet there are other people that don't know how dangerous aspartame is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posters Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I didn't know and I bet there are other people that don't know how dangerous aspartame is. I raised this on the old Manx.net I must admit I now check ALL products to see if they've got aspartame/NutraSweet in. I avoid the stuff like the plague and feel better for it.

tameelf Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 nice 1 bill. its a pity manx radio. or the medical profession wont warn us. i can understand manx radio not wanting to upset potential advertisers. but the medical profession thats criminal. my opinion only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Most of the flavoured water drinks contain aspartame too. I always thought I was doing myself some good by drinking them instead of the usual soft drinks. I drank so much of that stuff when I was on the Atkins diet. I tend to just drink unflavoured bottled water now though as I found the flavoured drinks too sickly sweet after a while. I'll have a read up on all of those links.

Bill Posters Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I'll have a read up on all of those links. Please let me know what you think. I rarely get seriously 'wound up' about anything, but this p1sses me off, good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Will do, I've just clicked on the first link and noticed chewing gum as one of the products! I didn't think about that either. Once again, I assumed by consuming sugar free gum, I was making a sensible choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posters Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I used to think that way too. However, now, the words sugar free sound alarm bells. I'd rather have some sugar, at least it's natural. Not some bizarre American chemical concoction with horrendous side-effects (allegedly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 This is old news - the Americans have been being dumbed by soft drinks for years, blah blah blah - conspiracy. Funding governments - multinational corporations - joe public fed more cancer stuff. Is water even safe to drink? Still we are better off than the Victorians so whats the problem?

Bill Posters Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 It 'may' be old news, but it would seem that quite a few people weren't aware of it. Personally, I've never suggested a conspiracy, I just don't think it's safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
