They're actually all dead, all you're hearing are echoes.<br /><br />You see the anti-vaxxers ate some salt once and exploded. You see salt is a sodium compound, and humans are mostly water and everyone knows sodium explodes in water. <br /><br />Now sure, some of these exploded anti-vaxxers will claim that the sodium in salt is chemically distinct from metallic sodium and in any case the trace amounts of it can't blow up a human being. But if they did that, they wouldn't be anti-vaxxers any more, would they?James Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-6991364299298918022009-09-29T12:42:37.136-05:002009-09-29T12:42:37.136-05:00You make a good point, friendly Anonny, though it&...You make a good point, friendly Anonny, though it's pretty hard to say something woos can't twist around.<br /><br />You might want to leave a name or pseudonym.

I see important differences between the two cases; Woos saying Google It are also saying "I don't know the details you are asking for, so YOU should look it up to prove MY point" whereas "crack a chemistry book" is saying YOU could find the details YOU need for YOUR OWN argument in a chemistry text.<br /><br />But, to people who don't think (or write) clearly, it can look like you're not playing by your own rules.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-44154876445713497372009-09-29T10:18:15.399-05:002009-09-29T10:18:15.399-05:00Point #3 is often answered by making up symptons f...Point #3 is often answered by making up symptons for mercury poisoning. Generally, they make up symptoms similar to those of autism spectrum disorders, but I've seen people claim that a tendency to write annoyed, sarcastic comments in answer to ridiculous arguments is a possible sign of mercury poisoning, so go figure.Valhar2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/05467019327257867276noreply@blogger.com
