Could you quit being a flaming homosexual for like a literal fucking day
I feel like there is some kind of witty remark I can make about black people here....
Why would they pick the career criminal characters to preach their politics instead of actually morally good characters in the show who were victimized? What did they mean by this?
First of all, what the majority of people believe shouldn't be that important to you. If you're just interested in some opinions and discussion then that's another thing. But you should take all information into account, and draw your own conclusions.
This is a public service announcement. It is not funny, or related to lolcows in any way. It is entirely about horribly avaricious chemical companies and incompetent government.

The Environmental Protection Agency has just announced plans to roll back regulations on the amount of PFOA/PFAS/C8 allowed in drinking water across America. Essentially, these are manmade chemicals that take an extremely long time to break down, including when they get inside your body through contaminated water. There is a 99% chance that your bloodstream contains these chemicals right now.
This is a problem because in 2005, a massive study was undertaken in West Virginia as part of a lawsuit against the company primarily responsible for PFOA/PFAS/C8 contamination, DuPont. The study sampled the blood of seventy thousand people in an attempt to figure out if these chemicals are dangerous to your health. Studying this amount of data took years, and eventually the chemicals were positively linked to many horrific health complications, including birth defects and cancer. In 2017, DuPont was forced to pay a $671 million settlement to the 3,550 individuals identified as having been affected by PFOA/PFAS/C8 contamination in the study, and they paid $1 billion in cases related to the chemicals in 2024.
This is Bucky Bailey, born in 1981 to a woman who worked at DuPont in West Virginia. His right eye is a few inches lower than where it should be, because they wanted to sell more Teflon.
These chemicals are demonic manmade horrors that should not exist. Non stick frying pans and other industrial applications do not justify their existence. They are literally poison. I encourage anyone who is concerned about this to first, educate yourself more on the topic, then contact your elected representatives, and respectfully indicate your displeasure with the situation.
If you are concerned about yourself and your immediate family, be advised that reverse osmosis water filter systems are the most effective option for filtering these chemicals out of your drinking water. They are expensive and complicated, and remove other essential minerals such as calcium as well. This is not really an issue if you, as an adult, have a good diet, but if you have children, especially young children, you may want to consult a professional about whether or not you should include mineral supplements in their diets after installing a reverse osmosis system.
If they're so smart, why doesn't California figure out a way to stop the brain drain to the retard brigade
Your values of buggering little boys and acting brainrotted due to lead poisoning, perhaps.
why do you think we invented tetraethyllead?
Whether left or right it’s going to change a lot depending on country, region, culture, and religion. In the US the right wing is different from Europe because our conservatives trace their beliefs to the American Revolution which was at the time considered liberal. The European right has its roots in monarchism. The American right and left hold greater suspicion of government than their European counterparts do. The people who would’ve been the conservatives were the loyalists who either assimilated, fled to Canada, or fled to the UK. Many of them lost their properties or were beaten when the British left the 13 colonies. Which is why there’s some underlying cultural differences between the American right and the Canadian or British right.
Tends to be mixed. Generally hatred towards large corporation and disdain for boomers. Boomer conservatives think it’s their god given right for real estate values to always go up.
The former Republican establishment liked Israel’s money and a chance to blow money on weapons.
Right wingers don’t want things to be dirty but often see environmentalism as corruption to keep small business down, protect entrenched interests, and often supported by foreign powers to allow them to industrialize and prevent America from doing so. But they accept it to a degree but want it toned down. It’s also more of a focus on things being clean/orderly/safe and not because they think it’ll cause the end of the world.
Good for you for asking.
Idi Amin's biggest fail. The opposite of when he kicked out all the Indians.
It is a federal holiday after all
Some landlords are good, some are bad, it depends on the person. As for Israel, they still have a lot of influence but support of the Israelis is dwindling, especially among younger people on the American Right. Finally for the environment, there are different stances to be had on that and they usually range from deregulating everything in the name of profit and "innovation" versus keeping land around as a conservation effort for future generations.
He can breathe easy after reading this.
