Walmart is poisoning our kids
 

Not satisfied with spewing tons of toxic chemicals into our air, China has implemented a new plan to poison our children.

Cadmium has been used as a cheap substitute for chrome on bicycles and toys forever. That's what you see peeling off handlebars.

"I'm shocked to discover gambling in this establishment."

Whats the Recommended Dietary Allowance of ammonia?

Ummm... You might check the "ammonia in ground beef" thread. This is the heavy metal thread. :shred:

ok - lemme try it there.

There is cadmium in most of the best oil paints. They always tell us to wear gloves while painting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_poisoning

Holy shit

So where are your numbers. I can write the exact same thing for salt. Salt will kill us all - when that claim also comes with no numbers. We already know Vitamin C supplements are so high as to be on the verge of creating genetic damage. Why did you not also cite Vitamin C?

Because numbers were not provided. No numbers is how Saddam had WMDs. And how to brainwash the naive.

Do you know what phosgene does to the lungs? Your alveoli collapse and you suffocate the death in two hours. What do they put in grains that will become your breakfast cereal? Phosgene. So clearly General Mills is trying to kill us all - using simplistic logic being hyped here.

And don't lick your palette knives either!

yeah, they replaced the lead in ceramics glazes with cadmium. :lol:

Now they're removing them all and the glazes are shite. Heavy Metals Rock.

If you want to know where the exact point is where you become an asshole in your post it is marked above.

#s given in a government training here.

LOL@Griff. Guess I shouldn't LOL to loud though.

Thanks for posting the numbers Griff -
I wonder what the numbers are when dealing with over saturation of assholishness:rolleyes:

It sounds like they need to do a random sampling of everything to be found in Wal-Mart (branded China). Chinese products for children and others, continue to come up with disastrous results up against scientific inquiries.


I honestly was waiting for another report about the contents of Chinese products. It had simply been too long.....Thank you for the update.

I like talking to her because she always seems so surprised and interested in what i’m saying. That, and because she kinda looks like the old lady in Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights.

very funny

Is she related to Groucho Marx?

Good. You provided numbers. But that says nothing about us being poisoned by Cadnium. Which means your emotional attack is misplaced.

Where are these products that exceed, for example, that 5 microgram number? That Wikipedia citation says nothing useful. Using the same posted logic, we are all being killed also by the sun. Another claim easily proven without numbers.

Where are these 'killing Cadnium' products? That Wikipedia citation says nothing. Does not even give numbers. Even some credibility is challenged repeatedly (see "citation needed"). Your citation defines a threat limit which does not answer my accurately directed challenge. Too much of any heavy metal is dangerous - obviously. But where is Walmart cadnium killing us all? Where are those numbers? The challenge reposted in response to unsupported accusations. Where is this cadnium that is killing us all? You also did not answer that challenge.

There is cadnium in paint. So what? There is also salt in food. Therefore we are being killed by food? Nonsense. Neither fear is justified by any numbers - even Griff's.

lol! Don't worry about my fashion sense either...It's just the poisons.....

See if you can spot who in this picture is slowly being scarred for life.

Now, THAT looks photoshopped to me. :eyebrow:

No, there really are fatasses running around in short skirts.

On a more serious note:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100114/...admium_jewelry

I thought such jewelry was not to be given to children because kids can swallow or choke on it.

Well kids are also not supposed to be in their parents lap inside a car. A recent crash had the air bag deployed with so much violence as to damage the kid’s liver and other critical organs. How to stop parents giving small jewelry to kids? Heavy metal poisoning? Will it work?

Will scary models in short skirts get kids to eat responsibly? Does fear work?

Yes you see that correctly. It is an old man with big supple delicious looking breast implants.

After visiting our site would you really be shocked if you actually saw someone sampling this?
Ohio

Can't say I've ever been so hungry that I'd describe or consider that as delicious. Or even edible.

In fact I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Why would anyone be shocked by someone sampling a quilt in Walmart?

I guess tw was the one sampling the toilet paper

Quilts are dry and chewy. They're not even palatable unless smothered in gravy.

These pics are pretty funny. To bad they really represent a big part of society. The worst Walmart I have ever been in that represents a lot of these pics is in Waycross GA. They call them swamp people. Scary.

I wonder if we just notice the "swamp people" more (swamp people...lol) I mean, now that they're all in one spot: where did they go before there were Wal-marts?

Good question. I guess they never had a reason to come out and walk around in congregated groups. They probably just sent a single representative to get what they needed from the store. Going to the Walmart is a really big deal to some of these folks.

True, it's a damn family event.

"Round up the kids, we're going in to the WALMART."

I reckon it's the equivalent of the fact that "going into town" was a big deal in the horse and buggy days, only now with 60% more gross people. :lol:

Would that be considered an evil of public transportation?

In these here parts, they gots their own vee-hickles. Typically, they're lined up along the front so someone doesn't have to walk 100 feet to their car. That is the car-sitter's duty. Sitting and staring into space for an hour while the rest of the brood is in the store isn't as idle as it may seem: there's plannin' involved.

That shit pisses me off. It is called a "fire lane" for a reason folks. Not just becuase it is a shorter walk to the door.

I see left and right can agree to mock human beings. This is a lovely koombyah moment.

FTW :blush:

Well, if it walks like a duck...these people exist! Maybe when they're car-sitting they're secretly mocking ME!

:) I can see it now...

"Hey Gertrude, look at that dumb ass walking from the back of the parking lot. Ha, ha, ha...."

LMAO!

You're particularly funny today, you fellow human-mocker.

I bet they all watch FOX news and vote republican too.

It's our own damn fault. As a society, we want things as cheap as possible, and empolyers get away with paying people the least amount possible, and we don't care. We should stand up, as a nation, and DEMAND MORE from corporations and politicians alike. But we don't. *sigh*

Psssst...union.

shhh - its a secret, xob

..are almost extinct.

Which is why so many are getting screwed.

And now we are getting screwed as the unions get a gift, if it passes in the final Bill.

A union is a self-defeating organization.

It starts out great, helping it's members get better working conditions etc etc etc.

Then it starts out small, dues go up with no corresponding increase in service to it's members. Then contract renegotiation comes around and they have to produce something of value to the hoi polloi. So wages go up and up every year. Seniority begins kicking in. Favoritism begins at the same time. Nepotism shows up too.

Eventually, wages are as high as they can get without bankrupting the company. So in order to satisfy the unsatisfiable, they begin adding time off in the form of every imaginable holiday. More breaks. More vacation. More work rules which appear to discourage anything getting done.

Eventually, the members reach the top, where they are being paid top dollar for the least amount of work, they have effectively priced themselves out of any industry in which they are not unavoidable. Their bids are much too high, even though they are skilled workers (mostly) and they give good value. It's just that they're almost too good and builders and manufacturers are willing to sacrifice some of that quality for lower prices that the consumer demands.

This is why every industry that has unions in it sucks. The steel industry has lost it all, automotive manufacturing is losing out to nonunion Japanese, the electronics industry is gone to China, textiles are in south america with it's abundant cheap labor and no unions and Americans are unemployed, our industrial base is gone overseas, we're overdependent on imports, the deficit goes to stratospheric levels, tax bases drop and taxes go up with the tax and spend government running wild.

In my opinion, unions started out a great idea but got greedy and killed the jobs they were trying to save and protect.

There is no easy way out of this hole. There may not BE a way out of this hole. I can't even suggest a hard fix. Perhaps outlawing unions and instead passing worker protection laws with some teeth as well as product safety and mandatory quality standards coupled with tariffs on imports to encourage buying domestic products. But the consumer would still pay more out of pocket for everything for a long time before things finally get better.

And no one is willing to pay that price.
