Should we ban DHMO?

[Geocritter]

After reading the earlier kissing bug article I decided to spread the word about dihydrogen monoxide, an environmental substance that kills thousands worldwide every year. Should it be banned? You decide!

I agree. Scarily enough, one of the top running presidential candidates trumps all the others in reacting without thinking. 😉

Only one of them? I thought that was a job requirement. 🙂

Having read the DHMO MSDS, I can say that there is NOTHING in those Material Safety Data Sheets that is untrue!
The only "hoax" is due to people without critical thinking skills jumping on the "BAN IT" bandwagon without knowing what they are actually asking to have banned!
That is why when first confronted with this foofaraw, I googled "DHMO MSDS" and read about it. I didn't have to read very far at all before I realized exactly what the MSDS was discussing, and realized it was all a joke!
The point of the whole thing is that people should THINK!
Altogether too many people don't think, they just react!

That's the whole point of my thread. Thank you Mowermech!

This reminds me of the Tonight Show (I think) skit where they set up a table on a busy street and asked people to sign their petition to end women's suffrage.

Many people signed it, including women.

Send obama an urgent message about this terrible pollutant.
maybe he can get it banned or at least taxed in Paris.

There have been documented events of it causing explosions when it exceeds a certain temperature

I think most people are against government regulations that affects them adversely BUT want the government to do something when they see it as beneficial. Two sides same coin.
Personally I think the site made into a clicky is FUll of caca.
Some uses of DHMO quoted by the article are;
in so-called "family planning" or "reproductive health" clinics,
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 members of Congress who are under investigation for financial corruption and inappropriate IM behavior,
by software engineers, including those producing DICOM software and other DICOM software tools,
by popular computer science professors,
by aspiring young adult fiction writers and mental health advocates,
by international travel bloggers.

Even "caca" contains a percentage of DHMO, and every usage on that list is factual. Big government already regulates some aspects of DHMO use.

No the list is not factual unless you really SSSTTTTRRRRREEEECCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH the truth to absurd proportions.
Having been on the ground floor of DICOM development which is a medical digital imaging protocol I never used DMHO unless the DMHO was in the things I used to deploy the products (unknown to me).
Why "members of Congress who are under investigation for financial corruption would be a group to use DMHO is beyond my speculative powers as would travel bloggers. These groups would not seem to be bigger users than the general population

It seems you might be among the few that haven't connected the dots to figure out that Dihydrogenmonoxide (DHMO), is more commonly abbreviated as "H2O". :R :B

I believe in California in bottled form it requires a can cause Cancer warning. :B

Anyone want to buy some dehydrated DHMO? Great prices & quantity discounts available.

Do you reactivate it by adding water :@

If you ingest enough of it, then you can get yourself into a group and cough or sneeze enuff to cause damage to them. If you were arrested as a DMHO terrorist, then you'd have free room and board for the rest of your life.
