    Gasoline causes very serious harm. We should ban people from using it. Guns are extremely harmful if used correctly. Maybe we should ban people from using guns. Fentanyl, that harms people. Botox harms people. Oxygen can even harm people. We NEED to stop people from having access to oxygen.

    Edit: I just realized we’re doing everything wrong! The single most leading cause of death, out of everything combined, is life. Life causes death. It is imperative that in order to stop things from dying, we need to stop them from living! My God, why hasn’t anyone thought of this yet! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

      if we are acting banning things that cause harm, why aren’t we starting with the worst?

      Dihydrogen monoxide

      • is also known as hydroxyl 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.

      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.

        Humans are addicted to it as well.

        If we go without it for too long our body reacts very negatively.

        It has a 100% lethality rate. Every human to ever consume it has died.

        It’s so addictive we also die without it. In terms of addiction withdrawal that’s as bad as it gets.

        Ok, while I enjoyed this very much… how does water contribute to the greenhouse effect?

            Is that the right word? Air is an insulator. A better insulator than water vapor. It resists the transfer of energy.

            Water vapor absorbs heat from sunlight better than air (other non-greenhouse gases) and heats the atmosphere as a result.

              You’re probably right, insulator probably isn’t the right word. You’re describing it better than I did. Point being the hotter the earth gets the more water vapor, making things hotter still.

      100% of people, especially women and children, exposed to water DIE. 100% fatality rate. Think of the poor babies! Ban it now.

      Every single structure fire, forest fire, etc…has been fueled by that GOD-DAMNED oxygen. I’ve honestly given up on justice being served.

      There are no legal pathways left to removing these people except to vote. But we’ve already learned that that has been compromised too.

      Of course not. Then they’d actually have to resolve the cognitive dissonance that induces migraines on a daily basis

      Let me know when we are breaking out the fucking guillotines for these fuckers. This piece of shit and rest of them should be removed from office by force if need be. Because they are illegitimate and we should ignore their rulings.

      It’s more than just being a liar. These “facts” get passed around in anti-abortion circles without being challenged. Todd Akin saying “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down” is the same thing. They aren’t strictly lying; they believe it’s true because the people they talk to say this all the time and nobody calls it out. It gets to be quite the shock when their “fact” gets out to the public at large. Suddenly, someone says “no, that’s not right, and here’s proof” and they don’t know what to do but repeat the claim and go ahead and do what they were going to do, anyway.

    Yeah, pretty on par with the honesty and integrity and intelligence that I’ve come to expect from one of the greatest of conservative minds.

    We are fucked.
