Bob and I actually made fun of how short a time it takes to devolve into nonsense.
This is why my number system for arguments makes sense.

Nonsense is a good thing. Posting long obscure articles for everybody else to read that come from a biased source will not change anyone's mind.

Toddlers choke on them. They die. Adults don't know that because they're labelled for kids and have kid toys in them. The kinder eggs people know that, yet they keep making them. An example of over-governmented actions saving lives. Sometimes it's needed. If it weren't for government banning these things, the manufacturers, judging the future from the past, would be selling choking toys and slipping melamine in everything we eat and getting away with it.
Sometimes what seems absurd really isn't.

Kinder Eggs are sold all around the world, except in the U.S., and apparently there have been about 7 deaths from them in 20 years. So if the population of the world is about 7 billion, and we exclude the population of the U.S., the risk of death from a Kinder Egg is ... well ... any interested reader can do the math. It's infinitesimal (really, really, really small).
Apparently the top items in choking deaths in the U.S. are: Hot dogs Candies Nuts Grapes Meat Raw carrots Cookies and biscuits Raw apples Popcorn Crunchy peanut butter Those kill more children in the U.S. every year than Kinder Eggs have in 20 years all around the world. Anyway, my Kinder Egg post was really just meant to hopefully amuse Stone.

I stopped watching the news over a year ago and have not watched TV in over a month. I do love a good debate but too many folks have to be right, and worse make it their mission in life to prove you wrong. This is the only section (other than the occasional post in a non post count section) where I post. I do find it ironic that, though the rules say no politics or religion threads allowed yet they exist. But mention a banned members book or question the status quo thunder and lightning rain down from Mount Olympus. It's the randomness of it all.

So you are saying that Tom Jorgenson's comment to me was sarcastic? Hope Tom weighs in to clarify.

The surprise inside was paper. I immediately came to the conclusion that they were trying to protect themselves from accusations of the toys being a choking hazard. And I thought to myself, since Cracker Jack was invented, how many kids choked on the toys? While it's true that a single death of a child from choking on a Kinder Surprise egg or a Cracker Jack toy is regretable and tragic, what's really sad is that I think the parents were probably to blame. You know--hand the kid a box of Cracker Jack to shut him up, then go chat with the neighbor for a while, and BANG, the kid is dead. Is that Cracker Jack's fault? Here is a tragic truth: children drown in swimming pools. It's a horrible, horrible thing. And I don't think the parents are necessarily to blame. But are the swimming pool manufacturers? |

Listen guys. I am on drugs and not sure what day it is and these threads confuse me.
I also don't think Bob Cassidy is hip enough to Will Rogers and I think he, Bob, would. Like his quotes. |
