Or perhaps you want to be blinded for life? How does that sound.

I was talking about the tech in my country, those new technologies you use in your hospitals have much lower radiation.

So... your hospitals are more dangerous than random lightsabers cutting through crowds of people?

Haha you can't imagine how true that is (tough that statement was the end of it,i will not go into politics)

The trouble is that the only people who would be interested in such a thing probably don't have the capacity to use it intelligently.

I'm offended.

Come on, guys. This is the internet. Everyone knows that if you blind yourself, you can easily get your eyesight back by uploading the event to Youtube! It's common knowledge.

How can you all not be excited about a weapon like this? I mean, come on! Star Wars. Burning. Lasers. How can people who use the Internet not like the combination? It's like peanut butter, chocolate, and six.

Uhh its... sort of like what if it drops and its on and goes spiraling out of control creating a death light show as its beam goes spinning around until it stops. Yea, not something you should have unless you have it for a purpose, are trained in it, and are not a [censored] dumb ass. Hence the training, and of course regulated. For all intents and purposes it may as well be a military grade weapon.

Edit
It is a laser, and not a contained thing. That means it just goes on unless they found a way to limit that, but then it could easily be modified to re extend the range to several miles. And if your really good you might be able to take away the visible light. You would have an instant death sniping weapon that no one would ever see and would be untraceable. Now put this in the hands of your average idiot.

I don't see how this is more dangerous then lets say firecrackers.

You know, this could be a great military weapon. Render the light invisible and make it so each pull of hte trigger is a quick flash and we could have a great untraceable sniper.

It says right in the article that it can give you cancer.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's true. It was kind of just thrown in there with no explanation or evidence, seems like the writer of the article just wanted to make it sound more dangerous.

Laser - Acronym for

Light
Amplification through
Stimulated
Emission of
Radiation

Radiation is linked to cancer.
That is how they arrived at their "it causes cancer" claim.

There are lots of things that use radiation that are fine if handled properly, I'd bet this laser has less of a chance of causing cancer than cigarettes.

Not trying to advertise, but here's a http://www.wickedlasers.com/index.php?refer=8227 to the site.

Yeah, except cigarettes don't cause blindness and skin burning/fire nearly as easily.
