That damn right wing leaning supreme Court is ruling liberal again

[Wry Catcher]

Oh great....People who were doing what was common practice at the time, now being sued for no malicious intent on their part....'Murica!

That may well sum it up. People sue each other over hurt feelings now.

Ridiculous where we are

My feelings and more would hurt, If a child of mine suffered brain damage from eating lead paint. Sometimes I wonder if lead paint had been outlawed much earlier, maybe we wouldn't have so many callous conservatives today.

How long did you spend churning up that emotional bullshit?

Protip: DON'T EAT PAINT DUMBASS

Lead poisoning in a child is a god-awful thing to watch. We've known about lead poisoning since the early 1900s, and after WWII, people just developed this attitude that if science can't disprove something old country doctors knew and warned or even preached against it, it just isn't true---NOT ! However, for those who didn't study human health in college, a crash course in the problems associated with lead poisoning is here: lead poisoning

You will clearly see that lead poisoning is not a rightwing or leftwing issue. You know that some plants are poison. Most of you know that if you eat the beans from a castor bean tree, you could die. 3 castor beans can kill a child. An adult dies by eating 8 of them. The Castor bean contains ricin. Ricin is one of the more deadly poisons on the planet to human beings and was used to exterminate entire villages of people by the powerful in a middle east country some years back.

Something similar is true with lead poisoning. If your child picks up a metal toy soldier manufactured before 1950 and licks or takes a bite, he could literally lose his mind. Before the 70s, most paints contained a lot of lead. Infants and toddlers pick up chips off the ground of just about anything and put it in their mouths. I hope it was not a chip of a house painted with lead-based paint.

Even now, insidious lead molecule is found abundantly in the following sources:

• Dust and soil. These can be contaminated with lead from old paint or past emissions of leaded gasoline. In addition, pollution from operating or abandoned industrial sites and smelters can find its way into the soil, resulting in soil contamination.
• Lead-based paint. This is the most common source of exposure to large amounts of lead among preschoolers. Children may eat paint chips from older homes that have fallen into disrepair. They may also chew on painted surfaces such as windowsills. In addition, paint may be disturbed during remodeling.
  
• Drinking water. Exposure may come from lead water pipes, found in many homes built before 1930. Even newer copper pipes may have lead solder. Also, some new homes have brass faucets and fittings that can leach lead.
• Jobs and hobbies. A number of activities can expose participants to lead. These include making pottery or stained glass, refinishing furniture, doing home repairs, and using indoor firing ranges. When adults take part in such activities, they may inadvertently expose children to lead residue that is on their clothing or on scrap materials.
• Food. Imported food cans often have lead solder. Lead may also be found in leaded crystal glassware and some imported ceramic or old ceramic dishes (e.g., ceramic dishes from Mexico). A 2003 study of cases of lead poisoning in pregnant women found that 70% of the patients were Hispanics, most of whom had absorbed the lead from their pottery. In addition, food may be contaminated by lead in the water or soil.
• Folk medicines. Certain folk medicines (for example, alarcon, alkohl, azarcon, bali goli, coral, ghasard, greta, liga, pay-loo-ah, and rueda) and traditional cosmetics (kohl, for example) contain large amounts of lead.
• Moonshine whiskey. Lead poisoning from drinking illegally distilled liquor is still a cause of death among adults in the southern United States.
• Gunshot wounds. Toxic amounts of lead can be absorbed from bullets or bullet fragments that remain in the body after emergency surgery.

As far as the court case above-mentioned, the simplest research will show good people that using lead in products is bad for the future generation if it winds up in lead pipes to carry water. If you think having copper pipes will resolve the lead pipes, it doesn't matter when the plumber uses a lead-based product commonly when putting copper pipes together as a cementing device. It can take a bright infant and convert it into a person who needs constant supervision for the rest of his or her life.

Lead poisoning is not a joke, it's a fact. If your drinking water tests positive for lead in it, children and adults alike will suffer for the damage it does to all:

Chronic lead poisoning
New evidence suggests that lead may be harmful to children even at low levels that were once thought to be safe, and the risk of damage rises as blood levels of lead increase. The symptoms of chronic lead poisoning take time to develop, however. Children can appear healthy despite having high levels of lead in their blood. Over time, though, problems such as the following may arise:

• learning disabilities
• hyperactivity
• mental retardation
• slowed growth
• hearing loss
• headaches

It is also known that certain genetic factors increase the harmful effects of lead poisoning in susceptible children; however, these factors are not completely understood as of 2003.
Lead poisoning is also harmful to adults, in whom it can cause high blood pressure, digestive problems, nerve disorders, memory loss, and muscle and joint pain. In addition, it can lead to difficulties during pregnancy, as well as cause reproductive problems in both men and women.
More recently, chronic exposure to lead in the environment has been found to speed up the progression of kidney disorders in patients without diabetes.​

Supreme Court Justice. Duh!

Ted Cruz would never get close to the SCOTUS. Most of our Supreme Court Justices are coming out of the District Court of Appeals.

For more information on Ted Cruz click here to redirect.
Ted Cruz--would you still vote for him?

Still pushing that line? 52 of 114 that have served on the court have had no experience as a judge, probably less than half the remanding 62 came from the courts of appeal. When are you going to stop making crap up?

.

Anytime you want to provide a credible verifiable link to that feel free to do so.

You mean like the credible verifiable link you didn't provide? I provided the names that were never judges, feel free to check the individual bios of the other 62.

.

meaning you still haven't found one.

What makes you think that Ted Cruz would ever be selected as a Supreme Court nominee--
Here's a credible verifiable link.
Why Senate Republicans hate Ted Cruz

I know why some don't like him, he tried to make them keep their campaign promises. But that has nothing to do with the path people take to the supreme court. Are you too senile to remember what we were talking about?
