I know, that safety data sheet makes it look like thats all a terrorist might need to take out the capital as well as five surrounding states. Yet people have been using it as a cure all for generations with no ill effect. Aspirin is more deadly... Run for your life, hes got boric acid (and hes not afraid to use it). quote: ORIGINAL: mnottertail well, that safety sheet aint all that pretty. and unless you show me the osha regulation, I am going to have do say I suspect this is more of your usual joe the plumber hyperbole .

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity Heres a perfect example of how our nanny government is protecting us. Boric acid is mined directly from the Earth. Its perfectly natural and has many widely accepted uses. Its sold as a rash cure, you put it on a babys butt and it will cure diaper rash in no time. Mix a little in water and wash your eye out with it and it will cure pink eye and other infections. Aspirin is more deadly, while baking soda is only slightly worse in toxicity. Heres the MSDS safety data sheet for boric acid: http://www.sciencelab.com/xMSDS-Boric_acid-9927105 If a small businessman asks a night janitor to spread a little of it around as a safe, natural insecticide (which is a widely accepted use) and then clean it up later and he has every right to refuse due to OSHA regulations. So you are going to use this one example as proof that our entire system of laws and regulations to keep toxins out of the environment must be tossed aside so that we can be free from the nanny state... Seriously entertaining.. lets just say fuck it, they can put lead in our paint, asbestos in our installation, they can stop watching how much dioxin goes into the environment... then you will be free!

It's not even an example--nothing is prohibiting its use or even the use of far more dangerous chemicals. The MSDS sheets are just that--data. And from the sheet--this isn't all that hazardous.

In Oregon you can't pump your own gas because Oregonians are too stupid, according to the Oregon state government. California kids can't buy certain dirt bikes because lead is a component of some parts, not the paint but the parts themselves and so apparently the California legislature was able to convince itself that California kids can and do eat motorcycles... American nanny "children" are never going to be able to compete economically on the world stage if these staggeringly stupid rules arent kept to a minimum.

The reason why Oregonians cannot pump gas is because it would take jobs away from those who pump it, according to Oregonians that I have known since I was a wee one As far as the rest, I haven't a clue... I do know I am thankful that we have an EPA, and I wish they did their job better and that they weren't ran by lobbyists for so many years.... Seriously dude, you like no regulation over what goes into the environment, move to China, they were bleeding through their nose and throat before they had to clean up their air for the olympics.... that is what you get without a "nanny state"... l Edited to add... you don't like California law, stay out.

Sanity -> RE: What is the 'nanny state' ? (7/8/2010 4:46:20 PM)
Like, ya no, seriously dudette... [:D] Governmental bureaucrats forcing small business owners to unnecessarily hire scores of people to pump gas would be another perfect example of nanny government. Do you think higher fuel prices help or hurt the average consumer? What about the costs of doing business. And who should decide who to hire and when at their own business, and what to have them do - business owners, or state bureaucrats? quote: ORIGINAL: juliaoceania I have been going to Oregon since I was a child.

Your status as one who posts with out thinking is well preserved sanity. This from your cite for the msds on boric acid. Section 11: Toxicological Information Routes of Entry: Absorbed through skin. Inhalation. Ingestion. Toxicity to Animals: Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 2660 mg/kg [Rat]. Chronic Effects on Humans: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Classified Reproductive system/toxin/female, Reproductive system/toxin/male [POSSIBLE]. May cause damage to the following organs: kidneys, cardiovascular system, central nervous system (CNS). Other Toxic Effects on Humans: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator). Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: Not available. Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans: May cause adverse reproductive effects (fertility, fetoxicity) based on animal studies. May affect genetic material. May cause teratogenic effects based on animal studies. Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans: Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed throuogh damaged or abraded skin in harmful amounts. If absorbed through skin it may affect behavior, sense organs, metabolism, the gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory tract (respiratory depression) Eyes: Dust causes eye irritation. Inhalation: Dust causes respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: Causes digestive (gastrointestinal) tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May also affect behavior, brain, the Central Nervous System (depression, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, collapse, unconsciousness, coma), Peripheral Nervous System, cardiovascular system, blood, liver, urinary system (kidney, ureter, bladder) and endocrine system . Chronic Potential Health Effects: Boric acid can accumlate in the body (brain, bone) with repeated exposure. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. May cause borism characterized by dry skin, skin eruptions, and gastric disturbances. The bolded part of the above shows the ld50 (lethal dose for 50 out of 100 test). The dilution for eye wash is 64 parts water to one part boric acid. Did it ever cross your mind that boric acid is called acid for a reason?

You're always looking at my profile julia, but thats okay, theres no need to make up these crazy excuses. And you're sounding a little desperate here, in your argument. What does states rights or my travels have to do with the topic? What I wrote abour were examples of nanny government, nothing more. Try not to take it so personally. quote: ORIGINAL: juliaoceania I just looked at your profile, you live in Idaho... stay there and keep your nose out of other people's business... seriously, I thought you right wingers were all for state's rights..

I've had my home state listed on every post I've made for years, and you and I have been debating each other here in these threads off and on since 2006. So... why is it again that you keep perving my profile? [:D]

Twice, huh? [sm=lol.gif] You just keep telling yourself that. I know you're beet red right now, and you nailed one thing - I am enjoying it.

I was all over that CA was just pissed because AZ was stirring up shit about illegals. How much money do you think CA make each year by exploiting all those people? They don't want laws enforced. That would crash your economy.

Nah julia, I'm happy with the girl I've got. You'd be fun though... now that I know what you're into. I always suspected as much, too! How about we get back on topic now?

juliaoceania -> RE: What is the 'nanny state' ? (7/8/2010 6:54:38 PM)
Oh yeah, you were ranting about how the state was taking your rights, even though you don't even live in those states... it must be rough to not be able to decide whether you favor state's rights, or you don't[8\|]

Sanity -> RE: What is the 'nanny state' ? (7/8/2010 6:58:09 PM)
No, I was giving examples of what nanny states do, when you wigged out and said I can't travel any more, and insisted that I can't post about such examples because I have to believe in states rights because I lean right... quote: ORIGINAL: juliaoceania Oh yeah, you were ranting about how the state was taking your rights, even though you don't even live in those states... it must be rough to not be able to decide whether you favor state's rights, or you don't[8\|]
