Read the Barbaro thread and you should start sensing some serious sarcasm.

I heard Saddam was stockpiling DHMO guns.

Pat Robertson recently made a prediction about a great disaster involving DHMO.

I actually covered an "Earth Day" at my undergrad when I was doing the news show where some kids from the Philosophy Club went around and gathered signatures to ban DHMO. As I recall, they gathered quite a few signatures.. I don't know whether or not their movement went anywhere though.

Of course its not for real.. it's just another snarky parody thread from those who don't know how to discuss or debate anything intelligently. It's just a thread created as an excuse to throw around thinly veiled personal attacks. (remember the cosplay threads?)

The topic is based on an urban myth about a boy who won a science fair about the "dangers of dhmo" which, of course, is water.

It's not an urban legend it's TRUE. That webpage even says so... Status: True.

See, you should fear hydrogen hydroxide because it is the major component of acid rain. You must be throwing out personal attacks because you can't hold an argument with me or refute my ideas. Asshole.

The "spoof petitions" are what are false. Read the whole urban legends page.

BTW-- I don't quite know what you're trying to accomplish with all of your silly name calling, other than to prove to everyone reading that you're unable to debate anything intelligently and are just plain frustrated. You're really making yourself look quite silly.

Soldier on.

Not wanting to always debate /= unable.

It's a messageboard for Greeks, not debate club.
