I'm simply having a hard relating to someone that disbelieves it. It's scientific fact. It's a given. There's no debate over it.
(Go look up the definition of irony before you use the word again. I never said I attempted irony, you simply misused the term previously. Is it ironic that 99% of people that use the term irony use it incorrectly? Things that make you go hmmm)

just so you know dude i was cheif microbiologist for a food company before i went to university to study human nutrition and dietetics, i dont really need to do any reading on food.
irradiation may destroy the e coli bacteria but it will not protect you from e coli poisoning.
you are talking of food spoilage bacteria and im not aware that e coli is a food spoilage bacteria as we are concerned with it. e coli is present in the gut of animals so is more likely introduced to the food at the preparation stage , likely to be after food has been irradiated and is exacerbated by poor storage conditions very often. you are more likely to give yourself e coli poisoning than getting it from organic food.
those are facts too, just more relevant ones.
and i dont need lessons on English either , my publisher feels i have a perfect grip of irony, maybe too strong a grip for some.

i cant say i remember much of him, Reagan seemed to be a lot more in our news in his time,i couldnt really relate bush senior to anything i dont think, did he have the first go at saddam so to speak?
ChadTower:
He was President when we had to run Saddam out of Kuwait. That was the first really high profile run at Saddam.

there we go i do remember him for something then :cheers:
he didnt make much other impact in his presidency i take it?
ChadTower:
Not tons, he only had 1 term and in a lot of ways was tying up Reagan's ends. No one knew what was going to happen with the Cold War just about over, and his term was mostly occupied with the first Gulf War. If I had to guess, his biggest domestic impact was his involvement with NAFTA, which wasn't officially put into place until Clinton was in office. IIRC he also put Clarence Thomas and one other on the Supreme Court, can't remember the second one offhand.
