Sounds like you are asserting the same thing for browsing the local video rental shop.

You are taking this out of context; I explicitly stated that I was demonstrating absurdity with absuridity. If you'll look at the thread, you will see that she inferred that vaccines, pesticides, and Diet Coke causes autism.

Got Mercury? (this is an audio link; here is the printed link.; sorry, there's no specific link to this; you will have to scroll down the page to look at it).

"I explicitly stated that I was demonstrating absurdity with absuridity."

You're confused. To illustrate absurdity with absurdity you have to have two things which are truly absurd. The Blockbuster thing was absurd but the other one may not be. The mercury-autism link has not been proven either way yet, so you are jumping the gun to say it's absurd.

There are researchers who think that there MAY be a link between mercury and autism (yes, I said may be). It's hard to get good data on this because it's such a political football, though.
