This has got to be the most rediculous attempt at any "scientific claim". Let me show you how stupid it is.The Real McCoy said:Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical used by many corporations including Dupont, Exxon-Mobil and Halliburton. Large quantities of this chemical have been found in rivers and resivoirs near oil refineries and chemical production facilities. Di-H. Monoxide is a major component of acid rain and, despite new water faucet filtration devices, still cannot be removed from our tap water. Consumption of smaller quantities has been directly linked to stomach cramps and vomiting. Alarmingly, consumption of Di-H. monoxide has caused the death of hundreds of Americans every year, the majority of victims being children. We need to stand together and stop evil corporations from using this deadly chemical!

Dihydrogen - di meaning 2, so two hydrogens
Monoxygen - mono meaning 1, thus one hydrogen
So you're "dihydrogen monoixide" is nothing more than H2O or what is commonly known throughout the world as water.
And yes, water is the major component of acid rain. Please who are you trying to kid?
I don't see any brainwashing here especially when the lie was called within the first response.The Real McCoy said:No ****, Sherlock. I was trying to illustrate a point, the power of misdirection and manipulation in propaganda, not just leftist rhetoric thinly veiled and marching under the banner of environmentalism but all forms of political brainwashing.

Yes, I get your drift, ignorance is bliss.:mrgreen:AlbqOwl said:I think McCoy was being tongue-in-cheek with his thread starter and is now acknowledging that. I think he should be allowed that.
This is an illustration of one of those idiotic absurdities that gets passed around and is eventually swallowed by a large number of numbnuts who believe it and further promote it.
Some of the other junk currently circulating on the internet:
--9/11 was orchestrated by the U.S. government who blew up the buildings.
--The holocaust never happened
--Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon.
--Coke cans are infected with a deadly disease resulting from rat urine and anybody who doesn't wash their pop cans before drinking risk a horrible death.
--If you microwave your paper plate, you'll have cancer within a year.
There's lots more, but you get my drift.

The Real McCoy said:What lie? Everything there is fact. Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical used by oil and gas corporations. It's a major component of acid rain. It causes stomach cramps, vomiting and hundreds of deaths annually. Where are the lies? These are undeniable facts.
It's simply a highly exaggerated and easily debunked example of a tactic used in the political arena to brainwash.
So yes you've lied to misslead. For the point of what I don't know because it's just childish. Seemingly quite contrary to your screen name.We need to stand together and stop evil corporations from using this deadly chemical!
No, your claims were made with the sole intention to mislead. You even admit it. Thus you're dihonesty.The Real McCoy said:Except those claims are false. My claim is true. Big difference.
jfuh said:Missleading. You made water seem as if it were toxic, which is dishonesty.
jfuh said:Here's a lie right in this statment. Water does not cause stomach cramps or vomiting. It's a component of vomiting. Gas is the cause of stomach cramps. So yes either you've no idea and are ignorant or you're lieing.
jfuh said:Oh and here's the major lie :

The Real McCoy said:Misleading... yes. False? No.
I'm illustrating a point about one-sidedness and political propaganda.
This is very much a lie. Deadly chemical?We need to stand together and stop evil corporations from using this deadly chemical!
The Real McCoy said:Go drink an entire gallon of water, see what happens and then get back to me.

Perhaps you've heard of it: a colorless, odorless liquid; a powerful coolant and solvent; an easily- synthesized compound which is used by industry, the military, commercial operations, and even private individuals.
Yes, we are talking about hydrogen hydroxide, also known as dihydrogen monoxide, and we are here to tell you that what you've heard about DHMO is probably not the whole truth. There are forces out there, such as the Coalition to Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide, who would seek to legislate its use and availability, placing heavy limitations on it-- and eventually, eradicating it entirely.
In the interest of fairness, we invite you to see their argument, and then we urge you to return here, to learn the truth. Their subversive agenda must not be allowed to prevail...

Thus the entire initialization of your post is from dishonesty. You can illustrate your point but up until now I don't see your point at all. So here's what I'm saying, what are you trying to get at or mock at?
AlbqOwl said:Okay I take it back. I was honestly trying to defend your statement as a spoof. If you say it isn't a spoof, however, then yeah, I think it is just a little nutty. I always looked at water as an essential of life. But what do I know?

Water can cause death.
Hence, deadly chemical.
One-sidedness.
