Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!

Please, my fellow citizens, I urge you to act at once to ban this deadly and widespread chemical.

This petition is for the complete ban of 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 the major component of acid rain
- contributes to the "greenhouse effect"
- it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
- contributes to erosion
- accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals
- may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes
- has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

Despite the dangers, 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.
- 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 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.

If you truly care about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, please go HERE to sign the petition.

Ha Ha.

 

Sad thing is, you would probably get a bunch of folks from here to sign onto such a petition....

 

Why is that a sad thing? DHMO, a.k.a. Hydric Acid, kills thousands of people every year. It is even sold to our children in concentrated form in almost every elementary school in america. If we don't rid our planet of DHMO now, it will be here for billions of years, it doesn't just go away, it stays in the atmosphere forever. Do you have any idea how much is in our lakes and rivers already? Did you know that common tapwater contains more Dyhydrogen Monoxide than any other chemical, even chlorine and flouride?

DHMO is no laughing matter, accidental inhalation can cause death within minutes.

 

Did you know that it can be used as a recreational drug, too?

Yes, and it is the most addictive drug known to man. In 100% of all human cases complete withdrawal causes death within a week. The sad thing is that due to it's widespread use we are probably all addicted even if we don't know it.

 

Lmao..

 

The problem is banning won't be a solution. We have become so dependant on it, sudden absence of it would result in a severe downturn in our standard of living.
Studies has also shown getting rid of it from the environment would require tens, maybe hundreds of billions of dollars.

What we do need is more studies on this problem.

 

I have just learned that Starbucks uses large quantities of Dihydrogen Monoxide in their coffee. Boycott Starbucks!

 

I heard that stuff was highly concentrated in the mud in the california landslides...this could be very dangerous for the nearby population...

 

Actually it's good for california. The heavy rains cause the mudslides that put out the fires caused by the earthquakes.

 

Wouldn't copious amounts of falling dihydrogen monoxide help the entire coast slough off into the Pacific...

Anyone know the Dance?

 

Actually, the way the molecule is shaped I think the correct name would be hydrogen hydroxide.

 

It's a grave danger to Americans, I feel that we should invade those responsible for it. It is in it's largest concentration in the pacific ocean, so therefore an invasion of East Asia and the west coast of the Americas is in order.

 

Dihydrogen oxide, no mon needed

 

Hmmmmm - carbon oxide v. carbon monoxide?

It's been a while since I did any class room Chemistry...*L*

 

Yeah, you know they are more than full of shit when they can't even get the scientific name correct.

 

Couldn't resist - can't get it outta my Mind...

One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, and new
eyes to see the dawn
Go your way, I'll go mine and
Carry on

The sky is clearing and the night
Has gone out
The sun, he come, the world
is all full of light
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
To carry on

The fortunes of fables are able
To sing the song
Now witness the quickness with which
We get along
To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and
Carry on

Carry on
Love is coming
Love is coming to us all

Where are you going now my love?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Will you bring me happiness?
Will you bring me sorrow?
Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?

Girl when I was on my own
Chasing you down
What was it made you run?
Trying your best just to get around.
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Lover can you talk to me?
-Stephen Stills

 

The proper name is carbon monoxide, but I believe people have begun using carbon oxide as well. Dihydrogen oxide is a polar covalent bond, and therefore when naming the compound, the prefix to determine the number of molecules only goes on the hydrogen. When you get into multiples H2O2, then you have Hydrogen Peroxide, or H4N2 is Hydrazine. You get the point.

 

An examination of breast milk samples taken from pregnant women in over 100 countries found this insidious compound was present in every case, from the high arctic to the equator.
Now it has been almost universally agreed that the addictive qualities are so strong that a successful total recovery once addicted is not possible. Once it is tried by someone, they are lifetime users.
As mentioned earlier, withdrawal inevitably leads to delerium and death.
Here in BC, large quantities of it are used in the marijuana grow op industry. The resulting crops are much heavier, stronger, and mature faster.
Pro atheletes in all sports take advantage of the easy availability of it, and use it regularly.
