BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

* is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* may cause severe burns.
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in the production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

The question is, do you think we should ban this deadly chemical? Vote in the poll. ;) (http://snopes.com/toxins/dhmo.htm)

This is psycological, don't ruin it if you know. ;)

[250 GTO]

I think we should get rid of it as soon as possible

[Quiggs]

I'm all for dihydrogen monoxide. In fact, I use it daily.

oops... mods, can you please change my vote, i meant to vote for "No. We should not ban it. ", but i accidently clicked on "Yes! Ban it! ".

I think you've been on for a liiitle too long if the shakiness of your hand is that bad. :p

[mclaren_crazy]

Man, I don't think I could ever live wihtout that no matter how harmful it might be :eek:

[car_fiend]

I think you've been on for a liiitle too long if the shakiness of your hand is that bad. :p

lolz... nah, its that today, i went to a hooka (not hooker) bar. It was pretty fun.

[Egg Nog]

Apperently DHMO is also often found in devices used to smoke illegal drugs...

Little baked? :)


Terrorist!

I plan on using the weather to distribute dihydrogen monoxide in an effort to bring the Yankee pig dogs to their knees! ;)

Don't you think this is kinda suspiciuos after you chose no to banning it? :p

[Jack_Bauer]

* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.


Well, I don't care how many fires it might help to put out cos all animal cruelty is just evil. :mad: I'm sure they could find something more effective for putting out fires, like sand etc! :rolleyes:

Won't somebody please think of the poor fluffy little bunny wabbits and Guinea pigs???!!! :(

;)

[Egg Nog]

Don't you think this is kinda suspiciuos after you chose no to banning it? :p

The huge amount of DHMO in my body is causing me to make misguided decisions!

[Coventrysucks]

O2 is highly corrosive and damages your lungs. What can you do though?

[SPHFerrari]

if DHMO is used as a fire retardant, and is found in decices used for smoking illegal drugs, should i try lighting myself on fire and seeing if it works?


;)

[Vaigra]

it erodes landscapes, imagine what it can do to our bodies :eek:
damn DHMO...i think i might be dependant...

What are some uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Despite the known dangers of DHMO, it continues to be used daily by industry, government, and even in private homes across the U.S. and worldwide. Some of the well-known uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

as an industrial solvent and coolant,
in nuclear power plants,
by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
by elite athletes to improve performance,
in the production of Styrofoam,
in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
in abortion clinics,
as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
in cult rituals,
by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families (although surprisingly, many members recently have contacted DHMO.org to vehemently deny such use),
by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
by pedophiles and pornographers (for uses we'd rather not say here),
by the clientele at a number of homosexual bath houses in New York City and San Francisco,
historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran,
in World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture,
by the Serbian military as authorized by Slobodan Milosevic in their ethnic cleansing campaign,
by many terrorist organizations,
in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance,
by software engineers, including those producing DICOM software SDKs,
in animal research laboratories, and
in pesticide production and distribution.

What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used, but which for one reason or another, are not normally made part of public presentations on the dangers to the lives of our family members and friends. Among these startling uses are: as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, and even in many soups, carbonated beverages and supposedly "all-natural" fruit juices

in cough medicines and other liquid pharmaceuticals,
in spray-on oven cleaners,
in shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants and numerous other bathroom products,
in bathtub bubble products marketed to children,
as a preservative in grocery store fresh produce sections,
in the production of beer by all the major beer distributors,
in the coffee available at major coffee houses in the US and abroad,
in Formula One race cars, although its use is regulated by the Formula One Racing Commission, and
as a target of ongoing NASA planetary and stellar research.



One of the most surprising facts recently revealed about Dihydrogen Monoxide contamination is in its use as a food and produce "decontaminant." Studies have shown that even after careful washing, food and produce that has been contaminated by DHMO remains tainted by DHMO.

What is the link between Dihydrogen Monoxide and school violence?
A recent stunning revelation is that in every single instance of violence in our country's schools, including infamous shootings in high schools in Denver and Arkansas, Dihydrogen Monoxide was involved. In fact, DHMO is often very available to students of all ages within the assumed safe confines of school buildings. None of the school administrators with which we spoke could say for certain how much of the substance is in use within their very hallways.
you'd think it's availability would be monitored..:rolleyes:

[Birdman]

I need a daily dose. I'm totally hooked!

[250 GTO]

I'm with Vagra.

[SPHFerrari]

it erodes landscapes, imagine what it can do to our bodies :eek:
so can wind. we should ban wind.

[ScionDriver]

Man am I confused. I am undecided. I can't even tell who is bbeing serious and who is kidding on here anymore. I'm going to assume that this is one of those bad things that we cant live without and just call it quits.

If its in steroids though (That list says
by elite athletes to improve performance, ) Then I hate it. I hate what steroids have reduced American baseball too.

[twinspark]

Classic question but no, I don't think we should ban it. Of course it's dangerous in many ways and all.
Now I'm not a greenpeace fan but... what about the fish?

[Cotterik]

People these days are too paranoid over natural chemicals, its nature, live with it. We're alive arent we?

[Vaigra]

so can wind. we should ban wind.
damn I forgot about wind...do you think it'd listen if Wouter banned it? :rolleyes:
