US border guards confiscate illegal ccontraband: Chocolate Kinder eggs

[VirusType2]

How many people around the world die from Kinder eggs? Seems like a really stupid law.

From what I can tell, a lot. I think it's a good blanket law. You can't put things inside of food. Makes things simple so we don't have to regulate it (which costs money).

no. the kinder egg is big. you'd have to have to sucked a lot of massive cocks to be able to swallow it whole

Because swallowing it was why they choked. /facepalm

Yeah, and no one has ever choked on cock before, right?

kids are not retarded also babies shouldnt be eating chocolate as it can be really bad for their digestive system. the ban is stupid

kids are not retarded

Actually, Stern, some kids are retarded.

even babies know the difference between food and toys.

Yeah, and they still ****ing chew on toys, and still choke on them.

Oh man. Don't bother reading things so I have to repeat myself, it's pretty geezer of you.

...here, just read this: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/vo020703/debtext/20703-09.htm

I tried searching I couldnt find a lot of stories, did find one from 1998. So what are you basing the "a lot" comment on? I am willing to bet more kids choke on hard candy than they do on these toys, hard candy is still perfectly legal.

 

[<RJMC>]

I know the solution,makes the toy of chocolate!

that will make people buy more of them!

 

[CptStern]

From what I can tell, a lot.

ya well you're going to have post sources. from what you can tell isnt good enough

Because swallowing it was why they choked. /facepalm

why else would they put the whole thing in their mouth as you implied? you said:

But since 1938, it's been illegal to embed non-edible things inside of candy.

that implies that the person doesnt know there's candy inside and (attempts to) swallows it whole. I mean if you took a bite of it and not tried to swallow it whole you'd see there's something inside. also it's not like the Kinder SURPRISE hides the fact that it has a SURPRISE inside. my daughter knew there was something inside of a kinder egg because in her limited experience (she's 4) every single easter egg comes with something inside

Yeah, and no one has ever choked on cock before, right?

you're still here so ... :E

Actually, Stern, some kids are retarded.

and as a result need to be supervised 24/7

Yeah, and they still ****ing chew on toys, and still choke on them.

they should ban toys then. most kids know toys are not food

Oh man. Don't bother reading things so I have to repeat myself, it's pretty geezer of you.

dont come across like you know what you're talking about because it makes you look stupid

...here, just read this: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/vo020703/debtext/20703-09.htm

should I post stats about how many kids are accidently killed by firearms every year in the US ?


the ban is stupid

 

[McGooTheWise]

That's ridiculous. I am trying not to facepalm right now. You are assuming a lot of things here and implying I think children are stupid. And you seem to suggest that only intelligent children should live.

You say it's impossible to swallow DERP - well, I doubt that, but even if so - isn't that why they would CHOKE? DERP

It's possible a parent doesn't know there is a toy inside this piece of candy. DERP

It's not even clearly marked that it contains a toy.

If the parents were aware of it - what about a child who didn't know? What about a very young child who doesn't understand when you tell them? What about a child who simply puts toys in their mouth? It happens all the time.

In your opinion, how many children have to die before it's worth banning? You sick, twisted bastard.

How about we compromise and put a warning on the egg. "Warning, dipshit, small parts inside. If you let your children eat this unattended, you're an asshole, and should have them taken away from you. Enjoy!"

But I guess not wanting to create huge sweeping laws like this, banning something that is, unless in the hands of the less intelligent, harmless fun, and instead focus on the more important matter, being why a parent would let their year and a half old child eat chocolate in the first place, or let their retarded child eat this candy unsupervised, makes me a sick, sick bastard. Well, I'm okay with that. Because I'd rather face the real problem than pretend that the problem lies with the chocolate. The real problem is shitty parenting, and when you look at the bigger picture, shitty parents are the rout of all evil. I won't bother going off topic to explain it, but if you're dumb enough to let a child, young enough, or retarded enough (Not insulting) eat a piece of plastic with a toy inside it, you're just a shitty parent, and you're stupid. I don't feel like i should have to cater to people like that. So excuse me. I accept my title as the worst person in the world for that. Thank you, virus.

By the way, it's not hard to take the toy from the child and say "No. You do this again and you get your ass beat." Do your ****ing job. It's not the government's job to protect your kid. it's not every company's job in the world to make sure that EVERYTHING EVER IS CHILD PROOF. Do YOUR job for once, and quit blaming your lack of parenting skills on everyone else. You see it everywhere, and this is just another example. I'm done. I've worked up a sweat, and I'm getting irritated just thinking about the poor little bastards who live with people this idiotic.

 

[CptStern]

the whole world should have freakin' warning labels. because we cant be trusted to not be stupid

 

[McGooTheWise]

That's sad, but it's absolutely true. I believe it's called natural selection. Right? Since when did that become obsolete? IIRC people are still suing McDonalds because it's making them fat. Let the the stupid fat ****ers have a heart attack and die.

 

[Krynn72]

the whole world should have freakin' warning labels. because we cant be trusted to not be stupid

I don't really think this is a case of being stupid, because honestly, who would think there would be a plastic capsule inside their chocolate, without knowing beforehand? Is it really that stupid of me to bit into chocolate without expecting something inedible inside?

That said, how does one even get the capsule into their mouth? You'd have to eat the thing whole without chewing.

 

[Escaep]

The amount of money it would cost you to make each egg vs the amount of drugs you could fit in the egg probably doesn't make a lot of business sense.

Well I assume as a drug dealer you would buy/steal them from the supermarket, disassemble them, fill them with the drug of your choice, and then put it back to together and ship them to the US of A. I mean, they do it with all sorts of stuff, even teddy bears I think I heard once, which probably cost more money than chocolate eggs.

 

[VirusType2]

ya well you're going to have post sources. from what you can tell isnt good enough

You don't read them anyway Stern. You just like arguing.

And... I linked one in my last post


If you want to change a US law, you prove it's harmless. Prove the things that doctors and government officials say are bullshit, okay? And use your 4 year old daughter to test out your theories, because that proves it once and for all.

/facepalm

It's fine that you are proud of your smart daughter all the time, but nobody thinks she got it from you.

why else would they put the whole thing in their mouth

If they swallowed it (like you implied), then they wouldn't be choking on it, because it would be in their stomach, not blocking their wind pipe.


If you wanted more information on the choking victims, why don't you do some ****ing research, you lazy sack of shit.

Too lazy to hit a caps button, even. You inconsiderate, arrogant, moose riding bastard.

that implies that the person doesnt know there's candy inside and (attempts to) swallows it whole.

No. It doesn't. Your education has failed you.

I mean if you took a bite of it and not tried to swallow it whole you'd see there's something inside.

In addition to all the other information I've provided, did you ever consider:

What if it was dark when they were eating it? Or the child was vision impaired? Or their parents/relative couldn't read fine print? Or the fine print was in a language that the parent didn't understand?

Maybe the container didn't easily open, and the child tried to bite the container open and the toy fell out. I'll bet there is air pressure inside the capsule even, making it want to shoot open. I mean if it's anything like a standard plastic Easter egg, there is elasticity to the plastic, even.


But no, you don't consider a ****ing thing. You shouldn't be allowed 10 feet from a child, in my honest opinion, as you have proven time and again.

You want to put your kids on thin ice all the time, be my guest. You aren't the only one with ideas on how to raise a child. Parent votes don't weigh more. Not to mention you can't vote, because you are ****ing Canadian.

also it's not like the Kinder SURPRISE hides the fact that it has a SURPRISE inside. my daughter knew there was something inside of a kinder egg because in her limited experience (she's 4) every single easter egg comes with something inside

Oh wait a minute, here's just something that happens to explain every stupid thing you can't understand, and I already posted it earlier: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/vo020703/debtext/20703-09.htm

I guess you can't make sense of it and understand it because of your Canadian, moose-riding education.

I'll try to simplify it for you with bullet points so you can get the general idea:

The combination of chocolate and toys can be a dangerous one for small children, and some accidents have resulted in fatalities.

*Many doctors and consumer bodies have confirmed that the capsule can smell of chocolate, which encourages children to put the capsule or toy into their mouth.


At least three deaths have involved choking on the capsule or on a toy part from a chocolate egg. That is an appalling fact, and it relates only to accidents in this country. There is a great deal of evidence of many such incidents in Europe.


For every fatality there have no doubt been hundreds of choking incidents from the products, and I have been notified of several other cases of near misses. Let me give two examples. ..

"My eldest son came rushing in and shouted that his younger brother couldn't breathe. I found him turning blue with his eyes bulging. I opened his mouth and saw half of a Kinder Egg capsule blocking his air passage. I performed the Heimlich manoeuvre. I dread to think what might have happened if my son had been by himself, he may not have been with us now."

Another letter was forwarded to me by a doctor. It said:

...My attention was distracted only for a moment when I found that she had put a small part from the toy into her mouth and was about to swallow it. I extracted it just in time. A few seconds more and our child would have choked. With hindsight it is obvious that if the toy and container smell of chocolate a child might try to put it in their mouth."

The risk has been recognised in the United States for many years, so much so that since the 1930s, it has been illegal to place or embed non-food items inside foodstuffs.

Regulators take a different approach in the United Kingdom and Europe. They simply require that the products carry a warning that they might be swallowed and are unsuitable for children under 36 months. However, the three UK fatalities and the subjects of the incidents I just mentioned were all older than that. As one of the parents stated:


"none of our friends, who also have small children, were aware of the warning. You have to look hard to find it, let alone be able to read it on crumpled foil.

Obviously young children cannot possibly comprehend such warnings."

The eggs have to carry safety labelling, but the labels often ignore several of the most important guidelines on warning labels published by the Department of Trade and Industry. I recently received a report from a leading body that assesses the clarity of such warnings. It examined these products and concluded:


"Many of the warnings were illegible to the naked eye due to the size of text and the creases or folds in the foil wrapper."

The testers found:


"The capsule and the toy smell strongly of chocolate, inviting a small child to put them in its mouth",

...the labelling on the leading brands is inadequate.

Ferrero refused to accept that there was a problem or to consider modifying its product. That is grossly irresponsible.

[like Stern as a parent]

you're still here so ... :E

I am straight. Anyway, I thought you were gay all this time. Enjoy all the penis you want, man, it's your life.

and as a result need to be supervised 24/7

Good God. Is that what you think? Man, you are a ****ing dimwit. Don't let the retards out of your sight!


Or wait, maybe you know something I don't...

(that means you are retarded and had to be supervised 24/7) :E

I have to ****ing explain my insults to you, or you won't even know you are being insulted.

they should ban toys then. most kids know toys are not food

Yeah, because that's the same thing, right? We should ban food too, because sometimes people choke on it. /facepalm

dont come across like you know what you're talking about because it makes you look stupid

And are you kidding me? You are like in a 'special' category of your own. And you insist on making yourself out to be - not only a bigot and a racist, but an idiot - an illiterate moron. You make Canadians look bad, you know.

And that's why doctors and government officials are in agreement with me right? And that's not even in the US, where it had been banned already - that's in the UK.

should I post stats about how many kids are accidently killed by firearms every year in the US ?

Yeah, because 3 and 4 year old children get guns & ammo in their Easter basket?

Seems like you have penis envy.


Maybe you can pretend you didn't read this. Instead you will disappear for a week or two and you can tell yourself you won another argument. Then come back and post more articles to argue about, and that will push this one off the page.

 

[No Limit]

Virus, did you anywhere in that post explain why you said alot of people die as a result of this product? A simple link or explaination will do, we don't need a 3000 word essay. I didn't feel like reading all that so I'm sorry if I missed it.

Well I assume as a drug dealer you would buy/steal them from the supermarket, disassemble them, fill them with the drug of your choice, and then put it back to together and ship them to the US of A. I mean, they do it with all sorts of stuff, even teddy bears I think I heard once, which probably cost more money than chocolate eggs.

But how exactly do you put back together a choclate egg you broke apart? How much effort would be required? In the end each egg will hide very small amounts of drugs so unless very little effort is required it simply wouldn't make business sense. And it's not like the choclate is going to fool the sniffing dogs at the border, it won't.

Choking! WHAT DO YOU THINK! :shakey fist:

If you want autopsies and newspaper articles, go get them on your own time.

So that's it, you guys would just rather remain dumb than read the answers to your questions? HAHAAHA, That's what I figured, but oh well, I tried to enlighten you all.

I was thinking of glue. I mean, I can't see it being extremely difficult and it'd only have to take a few mins per egg at most. From the pictures, those eggs look like a pretty decent size and the drug of choice to put in there would seem to be cocaine.

I'm not a drug dealer nor do I know how to smuggle drugs so I can't really say.

I dont doubt lots of people die from choking. What I doubt is lots of people die from choking on kinder eggs because they didn't know there was a toy inside especially since that toy is encolsed in a giant plastic shell which no kid could possibly swollow. But yes, how ****ing dumb of me for thinking this.

Excuse me sir, why is there glue all over your Kinder eggs?

And if your drug of choice is cocaine you could fit maybe a 8th in there. I don't think it's worth the effort.

this beyond retarded. it's safe enough for pretty much every country except the US. and it's not like the US would even know if it's safe or not. Kinder eggs originated in 1972 the ban has been in place since 1938. so automatically that would apply to kinder eggs. no testing needed

It's fine that you are proud of your smart daughter all the time, but nobody thinks she got it from you.

this is low even for you. not that I would expect anything less than a personal attack from you as you think it takes the place of having a good well thought out point

If they swallowed it (like you implied), then they wouldn't be choking on it, because it would be in their stomach, not blocking their wind pipe.

you really have a hard time grasping simple concepts

If you wanted more information on the choking victims, why don't you do some ****ing research, you lazy sack of shit.

Too lazy to hit a caps button, even. You inconsiderate, arrogant, moose riding bastard.

lol it's up to you to provide proof of your statements. again relying on personal attacks instead of answering my points. you're a poor debater virus it's a wonder you even participate in these sort of things

No. It doesn't. Your education has failed you.

because you said so after the fact? trying being more clear next time. it's not my job to make your statements make sense

In addition to all the other information I've provided, did you ever consider

what ****ing information? a link to a proposed bill that didnt even get off the ground? the conclusion was to suggest that the company make the surprises into one piece

What if it was dark when they were eating it? Or the child was vision impaired? Or their parents/relative couldn't read fine print? Or the fine print was in a language that the parent didn't understand?

what if the queen had balls? she'd be king. your speculation is idiotic because THE US DID NO TESTING ON THE PRODUCT BECAUSE IT'S AUTOMATICALLY BANNED. follow up reports said the size of the toys didnt meet with their standards but that's as far as the research goes

Maybe the container didn't easily open, and the child tried to bite the container open and the toy fell out. I'll bet there is air pressure inside the capsule even, making it want to shoot open. I mean if it's anything like a standard plastic Easter egg, there is elasticity to the plastic, even.

Report Describes 3042 Children and Teens Killed by Guns in 2007 [in US]

BAN GUNS!!!

But no, you don't consider a ****ing thing. You shouldn't be allowed 10 feet from a child, in my honest opinion, as you have proven time and again.

perhaps you should back up your statement? oh wait you cant because you're all about shooting your mouth off and mistake acting angry with havign a compelling point to make. are you sure you';re in your 30's because right now I'd say you were half that age except that would be an insult to teenagers

You want to put your kids on thin ice all the time, be my guest.

by giving them kinder eggs? haha you're a lunatic. you wouldnt know the first thing about being a parent so your statement is completely meaningless. sorry that's not true; it does show you how pathetic you are

You aren't the only one with ideas on how to raise a child. Parent votes don't weigh more. Not to mention you can't vote, because you are ****ing Canadian.

yes some dumbass on the interwebs who's only exposure to kids is sitting on a park bench knows better than the whole freakin world on matters of kinder eggs. you're beyond ridiculous

Oh wait a minute, here's just something that happens to explain every stupid thing you can't understand, and I already posted it earlier: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmhansrd/vo020703/debtext/20703-09.htm

I guess you can't make sense of it and understand it because of your Canadian, moose-riding education.

lol I've already read that. it suggests the company make their toys bigger. if it was a serious threat of choking it would be banned across all jurisdictions. but I guess I cant grasp your idiotic points because I cant hear you over the sound of my moose galloping

I'll try to simplify it for you with bullet points so you can get the general idea:

it was a proposed amendment to an existing bill. pretty much any member of parliament can bring a bill to debate but it didnt pass so obviously there isnt that much of a concern as it's still sold in the UK

Anyway, I thought you were gay all this time. Enjoy all the penis you want, man, it's your life.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I. childish and immature form virus.

Good God. Is that what you think? Man, you are a ****ing dimwit. Don't let the retards out of your sight!

I have 7 years experience teaching kids with special needs. how about you?

Or wait, maybe you know something I don't...


(that means you are retarded and had to be supervised 24/7) :E

I have to ****ing explain my insults to you, or you won't even know you are being insulted.

your insults are pathetic. not that I'm surprised because your argument pretty much boils down

"look at this proposal for a bill amendment that had absolutely no teeth and didnt pass LOOK AT IT!!!"

Yeah, because that's the same thing, right? We should ban food too, because sometimes people choke on it. /facepalm

ironic considering you're all for banning food

And are you kidding me? You are like in a 'special' category of your own. And you insist on making yourself out to be - not only a bigot and a racist, but an idiot - an illiterate moron. You make Canadians look bad, you know.

And that's why doctors and government officials are in agreement with me right? And that's not even in the US, where it had been banned already - that's in the UK.

they're so much in agreement that the UK immediately banned it's sale. so did every other nation around the world. all on the say of some dimwit with a poor grasp of the english language. you sure did show me

Yeah, because 3 and 4 year old children get guns & ammo in their Easter basket?

well it is the US after all but what difference does it make whether it's in their easter egg or not? guns pose a far far greater risk to children (#2 cause after accidents) than kinder eggs but I dont see you screaming bloody murder about that

Seems like you have penis envy.

lol that was out of left field. poor form Virus

Maybe you can pretend you didn't read this. Instead you will disappear for a week or two and you can tell yourself you won another argument. Then come back and post more articles to argue about, and that will push this one off the page.

Man, get over it.

There is something inherently insidious about putting toys inside of candy. Especially candy, because candy is for children. How can you not see this is hard for me to accept.

According to Parliament, children around the world have died from this candy, and hundreds more have choked on it. What more needs to be said? Why should there need to be any more reasons?

Is children choking to death less important than having a toy entombed in chocolate? Is that what you are telling me?

I don't really think this is a case of being stupid, because honestly, who would think there would be a plastic capsule inside their chocolate, without knowing beforehand? Is it really that stupid of me to bit into chocolate without expecting something inedible inside?

That said, how does one even get the capsule into their mouth? You'd have to eat the thing whole without chewing.

Thank you, Krynn.

I dont doubt lots of people die from choking. What I doubt is lots of people die from choking on kinder eggs because they didn't know there was a toy inside especially since that toy is encolsed in a giant plastic shell which no kid could possibly swollow. But yes, how ****ing dumb of me for thinking this.

Well, I guess if you roll the dice on millions of children each year, some of them are going to do it wrong. You keep asking the same question, then when I answered it, you refuse to read it because there are too many words that all tell you you are wrong. Hell, look at any one of the words and you will begin to understand. You want me to chew your food for you too? I've explained how they could choke on it.

This toy really is... a piece of shit? Totally worth it.

Bite open the egg, and a car drives down your wind pipe.

Great for kids who are still teething.

ME LIKE KINDER SURPREYES ..oh look a toy ...GAHHHHHAK GAHHACK I'M A COMING JEBUS

 

[Ren.182]

I love Kinder Surprise. The chocolate is lovely!

Parents just need to supervise their kids if they're giving them these things. Also it does say it's not suitable for 0-3 year olds.

 

[Krynn72]

Well, I learned something today. Plastic doesn't even taste nice.

 

[Shem]

I also learned something. Plastic is not meant to be tasted.

 

[Escaep]

Excuse me sir, why is there glue all over your Kinder eggs?

And if your drug of choice is cocaine you could fit maybe a 8th in there. I don't think it's worth the effort.

If you keep the wrapping intact you can re-wrap them and it would be incredible difficult to tell at first glance. Whatever "an 8th" means might sound small but if you can smuggle thousands and thousands and thousands of eggs in a year im sure it adds up. Plus they do it other ways as well. But whatever..

All Im saying is it's simply not realistic and not practical. If you don't care whats behind the wrapper why not just use a plastic egg and wrap it in Kinder egg wrapping?

There is no risk for these to be used as a means for drug smuggling and I don't believe border control ever claimed such a thing.

...

Virus, you know what I hate the most about arguing with you? You always seem to think people are making a victim out of you or that they aren't listening to you. Just because I don't agree with what you said doesn't mean I didn't understand it.

If the kid bites down on the plastic shell the toy comes in the toy will not go down their windpipe, because there is still the large plastic shell between their windpipe and the smaller toy.

Have you ever actually seen one of these in real life? Do you have any actual statistics on how many people around the world choke on these?

 

[Ridge]

It's banned in the States? Christ, you allow ****ing guns but not a little toy?

You're really missing out, the Kinder egg chocolate is the best in the world.

Little toys kill the children that own them more than guns.

 

[ríomhaire]

I ate shittonnes of kinder eggs when I was a kid. Guess what? I was able to understand that there's a ****ing toy inside and to know the difference between a toy and chocolate. Sure these things probably aren't safe for say two years olds, but then the parents shouldn't buy the damn things for two year olds.

 

[No Limit]

I would just like to add that I too am a kinder eggs survivor.

 

[Raziaar]

Children too young to know what a toy is and not to eat it shouldn't be eating chocolate in the first place. It's bad for them.

 

[Remus]

Children too young to know what a toy is and not to eat it shouldn't be eating chocolate in the first place. It's bad for them.

There is something inherently insidious about putting toys inside of candy. Especially candy, because candy is for children. How can you not see this is hard for me to accept.

According to Parliament, children around the world have died from this candy, and hundreds more have choked on it. What more needs to be said? Why should there need to be any more reasons?

Is children choking to death less important than having a toy entombed in chocolate? Is that what you are telling me?

Did you even attempt to read my post? Be a parent. Is that simple enough? Your kid should be pretty safe from the big, scary kinder surprise egg if you can do that. I'm not even going to do this again, because I know you won't read it, and you'll try to spin my words to make me look like an asshole. You'd be a great politician, that's all I'll say.

when i spent time in juvie, i had to kill another kid with a kinder egg

 

[Danimal]

I can't understand how anyone would defend embedding foreign objects into children's food. Reminds me: I had birthday cake at a friend's house when I was about 8 years old. They had US coins baked into the cake! Have fun.

My grandparents did the same thing but with Christmas Pudding, sterilizing and cooking a few dollars worth of silver coins in it.

It was actually a great thing as a kid, and I guess it's technically a good way to teach a kid how to pace his eating.

"You will ****ing die if you eat this shit too fast you fat ****."

I actually had no idea Kinder Surprise were banned in America, but I'm not exactly surprised.

Actually it seems more like an Australian thing to ban stuff like that, but they're a pretty Australian thing, apparently.(?)

you're wrong. I dont like arguing with you because it's a lesson in futility

What you are trying to do is futile. You just keep trying to bang a square peg through a round hole.

I always start off trying not to be rude, but I have very little patience with the mentally challenged. I see that you spent 7 years in special education class learning how to be retarded.

Why can't you just admit - "Hey, Virus, I never thought of that". Instead you just take up a contrary position. When that doesn't work, make a strawman argument about me not caring about guns and children.

it's safe enough for pretty much every country except the US.

Is it safe, Stern? As I have said, kids have choked to death or nearly so hundreds of times.

In the US, in the 1930's, this type of confection was found to be dangerous – a choking hazard. It's a measure for easily preventable, vastly premature child death that requires very little regulation.

and it's not like the US would even know if it's safe or not.

We can't read the news! And we can't get our hands on this elusive egg. US officials are stumped as to its whereabouts. Osama Bin Hidin' eggs.

I'm sure there has been plenty of research from the world's most prominent country, Stern. We went to the moon, but can't figure out a choking hazard. Who are you kidding? Why do you think the toys were banned from candy in the first place, because Nostradamus warned us?

Kinder eggs originated in 1972 the ban has been in place since 1938. so automatically that would apply to kinder eggs. no testing needed

Testing in the US took place nearly 40 years before the rest of the world started choking on this junk. Try and keep up!

this is low even for you. not that I would expect anything less than a personal attack from you as you think it takes the place of having a good well thought out point

"Play victim or make a limp-wrist counter-insult?”

“ ...so hard to decide! Let's do both!"

I may be more civil if you don't make me hit myself in the face doing /facepalms all day like it's a hot new exercise fad. Your lack of foresight is offensive to the human race.

lol it's up to you to provide proof of your statements.

No, it's not. I am not trying to change the law. I agree with it 100%. And you are one to talk, you have not posted any source yet.

it's not my job to make your statements make sense. you should have been more clear

Yes it is. If you can't make sense of it, you should probably crack a book or ask for clarification. But anyway, the fact is your lack of consideration of simple human biology let you to say something foolish and you somehow think this is a good opportunity to insult me.

“I should have been more clear”? Really? You obviously aren’t going to choke on the object when it is being digested. Forgive my lack of patience, having to explain that twice already.

perhaps you should back up your statement? oh wait you cant because you're all about shooting your mouth off and mistake acting angry with havign a compelling point to make.

You just chose to address what I said as a collection of insults instead of addressing the fact of the matter.

are you sure you';re in your 30's because right now I'd say you were half that age except that would be an insult to teenagers

How about you ignore the ~3000 other words, and just pretend all I've said is insults, and then insult me with insults, while you claim to be insulted and above insulting people. :upstare:


Somehow you are really sensitive about Moose riding. I thought that was official police issue.

I'm not angry; it annoys me to the point where I'm hard on people that want to 'correct me' with stupidity. But I'll admit, you do show signs of limited brain capacity here. Good job. Tomorrow we can try to learn capitol letters.


So your “compelling point” is that "not many kids die from it”. “So lift the ban on the candy, since guns kill more children."

The difference is: guns aren't for kids, the candy is.

I also agree with not selling toys with fast food, like 'Kid’s Meals', and in cereal boxes. You want to put that on parents to decide, right? But I think it's obvious that giving away toys with food encourages children to make that food choice every time.

lol I've already read that. it suggests the company make their toys bigger but I guess I cant grasp your idiotic points because I cant hear you over the sound of my moose galloping

No, you ignore it because you are ignorant.

Calling someone mentally retarded right out of the gate is a great way to win an argument.

 

[VirusType2]

That's just the way I roll.

 

[CptStern]

What you are trying to do is futile. You just keep trying to bang a square peg through a round hole.

I always start off trying not to be rude, but I have very little patience with the mentally challenged. I see that you spent 7 years in special education class learning how to be retarded.

so I'll take it you answer is that you have zero experience with kids with special needs. therefore your opinion on whether or not kids with special needs need 24/7 supervision is invalid.

see this is what you do; when you cant answer the question you resort to insulting the person. ok so you have zero experience with kids with special needs. a normal reaction would be to defer knowledge by using a source to back up ideas you may have. failing that you could concede the point. instead you go straight for the immature route; insult your opponent in the mistaken notion that people wont notice you cant answer the question. hl2.net members are not stupid VirusType2; they see right through you because it's so painfully obvious. you do this in every argument with every person you argue with

Why can't you just admit - "Hey, Virus, I never thought of that".

thought of what? that kids can choke on toys? well duh. a warning label is on every single toy box (including kinder eggs) across canada. this is not what we are debating if you havent clued in yet, which you obviously havent. it's whether or not the mere risk of choking merits the product to be banned across america

Instead you just take up a contrary position. When that doesn't work, make a strawman argument about me not caring about guns and children.

it's a valid point; there are exactly zero cases of children choking on kinder eggs purchased in the US. your opinion is based on a 73 year old bill that wasnt made specifically for kinder eggs as they didnt appear in europe till 39 years later. it just happened to ban kinder eggs because of the very nature of the product. so out of pig-headedness you cling to a single proposal for an amendedment as the sole basis to justify a law that wasnt written with the kinder eggs in mind. despite the fact that millions of kinder eggs are sold around the world with at most a miniscule risk in contrast with the untold billions sold globally since 1972. it's obvious you are the contrarian and are arguing for the sake of arguing

Is it safe, Stern? As I have said, kids have choked to death or nearly so hundreds of times.

ok stop pulling facts out of your ass. do not post facts without backing it up with a source. you've been called on this a half dozen times and you still resort to hyperbole without backing it up. Post a source that says "hundreds of children have choked to death with a kinder egg" I will accept no less that exactly what you have claimed; hundreds

In the US, in the 1930's, this type of confection was found to be dangerous – a choking hazard. It's a measure for easily preventable, vastly premature child death that requires very little regulation.

there were no kinder eggs in 1938. you are speculating that they banned similiar products as the kinder egg without backing it up. therefore it's exactly what it appears to be: meaningless speculation. POST SOURCES

We can't read the news! And we can't get our hands on this elusive egg. US officials are stumped as to its whereabouts. Osama Bin Hidin' eggs.

I'm sure there has been plenty of research from the world's most prominent country, Stern. We went to the moon, but can't figure out a choking hazard. Who are you kidding? Why do you think the toys were banned from candy in the first place, because Nostradamus warned us?

meaningless drivel meant to ridicule the person posing the question in an attempt to avoid the question being posed. it's completely transparent virustype; you're a poor debater

Testing in the US took place nearly 40 years before the rest of the world started choking on this junk. Try and keep up!

SOURCE. there was NO testing in the US as it was automatically banned by a law written 39 years prior to the introduction of kinder eggs in europe. you're making up facts

"Play victim or make a limp-wrist counter-insult?”

“ ...so hard to decide! Let's do both!"

I may be more civil if you don't make me hit myself in the face doing /facepalms all day like it's a hot new exercise fad. Your lack of foresight is offensive to the human race.

awkwardly phrased. and poor form virustype2. kinda like your argument

No, it's not. I am not trying to change the law. I agree with it 100%. And you are one to talk, you have not posted any source yet.

a source for what exactly?

also redirecting the question doesnt exonerate you from posting a source. you've been asked for a source by many people within this thread yet fail to do so every time. I for one dont take your word for anything you say as it's always either misinformation or downright wrong. post a source instead of pulling facts out of the thin air

Yes it is. If you can't make sense of it, you should probably crack a book or ask for clarification. But anyway, the fact is your lack of consideration of simple human biology let you to say something foolish and you somehow think this is a good opportunity to insult me.

what does that even mean? is english your first language? you remind me of an old hl2.net member named Kerberos. he didnt make much sense either

“I should have been more clear”? Really? You obviously aren’t going to choke on the object when it is being digested. Forgive my lack of patience, having to explain that twice already.

the point is the capsule is far too big to pass through anyone's esophagus but you wouldnt know that as you've never even seen a kinder egg. and that's not even why it's banned in the US. the reasoning is two fold: automatic ban on anything labeled as "candy" cannot contain toys and 2; some of the toys may contain small parts. this automatically bans kinder eggs by the very nature of the product. no testing needed. it's like trying to pass a health product that contains 100% heroin: it doesnt matter that the product isnt meant as a narcotic the fact that it contains heroin automatically makes it a banned substance. this is a point you have been unable to grasp from the onset; you are adament that the risk of choking is the basis of the ban when in fact that ban is automatic

You just chose to address what I said as a collection of insults instead of addressing the fact of the matter.

lol you border on the embarrassing. your lazy, meandering, poorly-worded attempts at insults reminds of hedonismbot from futurama except without the making sense part

How about you ignore the ~3000 other words, and just pretend all I've said is insults, and then insult me with insults, while you claim to be insulted and above insulting people. :upstare:


Somehow you are really sensitive about Moose riding. I thought that was official police issue.

meaningless drivel that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. poor debating virus

So your “compelling point” is that "not many kids die from it”. “So lift the ban on the candy, since guns kill more children."

that was never my point. it's just that you tend to boil down people's arguments to a single point that you've misinterpreted

The difference is: guns aren't for kids, the candy is.

I also agree with not selling toys with fast food, like 'Kid’s Meals', and in cereal boxes. You want to put that on parents to decide, right? But I think it's obvious that giving away toys with food encourages children to make that food choice every time.

dont care what your opinion is on an unrelated topic

No, you ignore it because you are ignorant.

lol yes that is the definition of an ignorant person one who doesnt know the facts and or ignores the facts. the facts are that you've never even seen a kinder egg yet for some reason you think you're qualified to say they pose a serious risk to the well being of american children ..guns are ok but hey say no to spherical chocolate. according to you americans are too stupid to be allowed to posess kinder eggs because they are incapable of supervising their children. really is this what you're supporting the right to ban a freakin chocolate egg because some bureaucracy things you're incapable of handling it responsibly? this is why I chose the analogy of guns; americans are responsible to own kill-sticks but not chocolate eggs

*The plastic shell now has a hinge, so it is one piece.

*Changes to the warning label

*Larger toys

*Toys now come in one piece

you need a source because none of those things have changed:

After MPG took over the production of Kinder Surprise toys, the German and European lines were merged so that the same toys were now distributed in all European countries.

your entire argument falls apart

 

[<RJMC>]

why not just put some giant label whit "this can kill your children" on it?
