      /shitty conspiracy theory

      …or was the constant exposure from X-rays keeping all of our cancer at bay. And with the removal of that lifesaving treatment, we’re all rapidly being overcome by our uncheck cancer.

      Look at the data and see when LCD TVs first entered the American consumer market. With the removal of CRTs, our cancer rates exploded!! Coincidence?! (yes its just a coincidence)

          Also doesn’t say what kinds of cancer. In those same time periods, lots of chemicals and substances have been introduced while CRT TVs disappeared. We might not have cancer causing rays from our TVs anymore, but we’re eating more cancerous materials, in, on or around our food everywhere … not to mention surrounding ourselves with plastics, chemicals and substances while closing ourselves inside perfectly sealed homes that trap everything inside for us to breathe and ingest.

          We’re basically the Romans from a thousand years ago who installed lead in everything everywhere and basically poisoned themselves. We call them stupid for not knowing that … we’re doing the same thing to ourselves now with a thousand other chemicals.

      Yeah, even if they didn’t weight too much, you wouldn’t strap a CRT or 2 to your face due to the various emissions.

      Let your kids sit as close to the 80" LED as they want, as long as they aren’t blocking your view. ;)
