Nope I don't listen to the radio much. Only to listen to hip-hop music.

I don't think they give you cancer. Unless maybe you had one of those giant ones from back in the day and have been using it ALOT.

This leads to an actually interesting question. Which is more likely to give you cancer? Phones or computers via msn, skype, and other methods? That probably includes everyday use too.

You don't put speakers on your ear, right?

Speakers don't emit high-frequency radio waves, right?

The suspected link is very speculative. What is known is that cell phone use is very harmful while driving.
It depends, I think that maybe some of there waves are effecting HUMANS, Cell phones could also be harmful to little children, If a child from the age 5-18 has a cell phone it could be harmful because random people call and you may be kidnapped if you give info of your self, Or if they track you. I'm 12 and I have a cell phone, So I think it should be up to the parent or legal guardian. BUT IF PEOPLE GET MAD AT WELL....AT&T BECAUSE THERE CHILD GOT KIDNAPPED THAT'S THERE FAULT!

I don't know anyone with brain cancer, so I'll have to say no. The waves emitted by cell phones are not strong enough to cause damage to human tissue. Maybe they should try it on some single-celled-organisms.

If you do get brain cancer from cellphones, you've probably been using cellphones too much and have suffered other negative consequences already.

I don't know anyone with lupus, so I'll have to objectively declare that no negative biological conditions are associated in any way with lupus. The symptoms one might mistake for lupus are therefore always a combination of other diseases, and lupus does not exist.
Because I don't know anyone with lupus.

Also, the moon doesn't exist when I don't see it.
