Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Did asbestos deserve to be banned?
My friends were discussing this earlier today, and I couldn't remember if it was only one variety of asbestos that was causing cancer, or if all BUT one kind was causing cancer. In any case, it was banned everywhere due to health concerns.
Searching all of Scored gave me conflicting opinions on this.
Asking because Trump brought it up today.
I have heard Trump talk about it multiple times and I think the complete banning of Asbestos had some other Cabal agenda behind it. We will see.
Maybe it did something like lead does. Lead paint on a building helps to protect you from specific radiation, and other Internet in the air. Perhaps asbestos had some quality that provided some type of protection for people.
I talked about lead paint removal here before, and it wouldn't surprise me if you're on to something.
I vaguely remember some ex spook saying that both these metals make it hard for clandestine surveillance
