Cato Institute pro-corporate/anti-EPA propaganda crap, plagiarized from a kid's science fair project, paid for by the Koch brothers, produced and distributed by Sumner Redstone, former board member of Cato, and presented by Penn & Teller, "fellows" at Cato. The original was publicized by James K. Glassman, hack shill for Cato. Nathan Zohner was only 14 when he conducted his experiment, with impeccable integrity and wit, by the way. This lousy knock-off by lame adults is embarrassing.
This was a great video. It shows just how easy it is to misinform people...and they are willing to believe with absolutely no research on their own part. Kinda frightening if you think about it !?!?!?
This is the same as the deluded people who try to ban "chemtrails" all because they do not understand the physics of aircraft condensation trails.
Unfortunately this sort of ignorance is spreading rather than shrinking because unfortunately these sorts of ignorant people tend to have an evangelical streak and try to spread their beliefs to as many people as possible.
@GregOrca This is not the same thing, these people were fooled into thinking dihydrogen monoxide was a chemical in water when really it was the water itself no one really calls DHMO water lol i doubt you do too :p Lets say dihydrogen monoxide was a chemical in water people can easily avoid it by buying the right water or by filtering your water supply like we do with fluoride but chemtrails which are toxins sprayed in the air and is unavoidable and definitely something to be concerned about.
@GregOrca WHATTTTT..... No do you research dude i can assure you chemtrails are the real deal and have began for a decade now, the internet is chalk full of info on this stuff. Get informed they are not contrails big difference.
And please don't embarrass yourself by telling me to watch michael J Murphy's hoax film "what in the world are they spraying". It is utter unscientific nonsense that has been devastatingly debunked in every way.
Murphy himself has admitted it is WRONG and that indeed persistent contrails last for hours and spread into cloud by natural processes.
@Pedzz94 Chemtrail believers are gullible & science ignorant people who have been conned into believing that airliner condensation trails are deadly poison.
In order to fool such ignorant people the hoaxers tell them that water condensation cannot persist in the sky longer than a few seconds.
The gullible don't the have the reasoning ability to realise that ordinary clouds are water condensation too & so the fundamental premise of the hoax is complete nonsense.
There was a prank show that did something like this by setting up a petition stand "to end wome sufferage"Women signed it not knowing sufferage meant the right to vote.
Most all people understand the term water,come on people, most people don't understand the term Di hydrogen Monoxide,But, Most all people understand the term H 2 O .
@Watchdawg These people did only because they did not know the term Di hydrogen Monoxide,My point is only if you want to fool people into it like this then its simple to do,this video is proof,but tell them its h2o and things would be different,I only say this because well, they signed it any how,And that was my point.
@mystic81006 The sad part isnt that people didnt know the term, the sad part is that they signed the ban even though they didnt know what it is. And nobody asked anything before signing either.
Sad part is if someone did this again, they'd probably still get signatures. We are a act first society and stopping to ask questions seems to be a lost art so-to-speak. Not saying everyone is like that, but I've realized that today people read and article, hear a news article, they jump to the conclusion that it's automatically right without finding out the other sides of story for themselves. News is at least two-sided, and is more times than not skewed to the side one wants to be on. :)
@toSTONEiGO no one lied, she asked for signatures.. not saying that it was a petition, and they described exactly what it was without ANY false information. That's why this is the greatest national troll in a LONG time. Kinda like the old favorite, glass flows over time.
@BelfastAtheist Communism is the ideal that everyone has to be equal, no one can be special, if you own a profitable business, then you have to give away your money to people who didn't work for it, who didn't deserve it,etc... Communism is a practice of equalization...acceptor one, the leader, the dictator, the prime minister, the president, whoever happens to be in power. This is all facts, not fallacies.
@BelfastAtheist What about "communism isn't about big government" don't you understand or how do you imply I don't seem to know that Communism is opposed to any state structure? Also, you fail to have developed a critical "Begriff" (term, roughly translated) of democracy, or you would see why communism is not democratic - and HENCE (not although) a good thing. If you fail to categorize me: Western communist in tradition of the Frankfurt school of sociology.
Communism in theory is more Democratic than any other Economic system that's ever been practiced, though it has never been practiced - unless you think the Politbureau doesn't count as Government..
@BelfastAtheist How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Anyways, what Marx/Lenin have you read? The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky? Left-Wing Communism, an Infantile disorder? The Poverty of Philsophy? Das Kapital? I also presume you've read Engels and Trotsky of course?
@BelfastAtheist Yes and no. I read the Communist Manfestio and other books that discuss Marx, different Communist variations, and socialism. I'm a person who feels neither capitalism or socialism works.
Wait, so you think Capitalism has actually been practiced!? Or Socialism for that matter?
Because I don't regard either as ever having existed in any Physical manifestation, we have State Capitalism (Because Capitalism would self-destruct) and so-called ''State Socialism'' like the ''D''RPK or indeed the U''S''SR, Smith and Marx must be rolling in their Graves..
@BelfastAtheist Yes, I believe capitalism has been practiced. There are different forms of socialism that have been used throughout history. Marxism, democratic socialism or social democracy, Arab socialism, etc. The website How Stuff Works has a great entry on socialism. There was a person named Robert Owen who ran a socialist compound in his native country and then I recall the U.S. In his home country he had very good results. But in the U.S. it didn't work. I feel we need a mixed economy.
Yeah, but Michel Aflaq intended Baathism to be opposed to the Marxist/Internationalist variant people usually speak of; he got that much! The Ba'ath Party was a nightmare not only in terms of Human Rights, but it's *complete* lack of any meaningful nodes of Socialism.. so I don't think it deserves to be put in the same sentence as Marxism, not that you needed to bring it up anyways, because 'Arab Socialism' has never even came close to being practiced..
I know who Robert fucking Owen is, I've read all about the Owenites in my own copy of the Manifesto, a brilliant little book with a 200-Page introduction to the History of Marxism and all other peripheral Subjects like Christianity's evolution into Socialism and Humanism.
At the time Owen was around (Given the Radical press that existed in America at that time) I can't see why it *wouldn't* work, most Americans at that time were in complete opposition to Wage Slavery.
They also believed in Worker Control of Industry, the VAST Majority did anyways - before their Working-Class Press was destroyed, largely with vicious propaganda campaigns.
Also, Capitalism has *never* been practiced, certainly not in the fashion Adam Smith wrote about in 'The Wealth of Nations' - because if it did, it would implode - the only variant we've had is one whereby the State plays a massive role in, for example - Socio-Economic affairs and Economic Development.
@BelfastAtheist There is no need for cursing. You do not need to sound like a badass. Now I'm cursing. I can understand where you're coming from about different forms of economics. Like I mentioned all these economic philosophies feel outdated. There can never be a true or only capitalist or communist state. We need to learn from these great minds and our past. Make the future better then what we have now.
i feel really depressed because i lost my penis whilst fighting in iraq. just the glans, but now i cannot please any woman and i feel inadequate. i sometimes feel like killing myself. the other day this kid in the changing room at a swimming pool saw and started laughing at me. his dad saw what was happening and also burst out laughing. i was mortified. my doctor also almost started laughing when she saw for the first time. what should i do?
I wonder if I would have signed, too, not realizing what I'm signing. I like to think I would have asked... Then again, I do like to know exactly what I'm signing my name into before I do so.
Even if you don't know what dihydrogen monoxide is, why would you sign something that you know absolutely nothing about? You would take a random woman's word for it?

@Olemguy Skyrim is so overrated. I am disgusted. Game of the Year, too. I mean really? Don't people see other games out there? Obscure or popular, there's many better games than Skyrim.
@vgman94 I personally loved Skyrim, I guess there's a reason I've spent 123.7 hours on it, though I think it was mostly addiction and the infamous "just one more quest before bed" disorder. I'm just happy MW3 didn't get GOTY, in the sane outlets anyway.
@Olemguy Fair view. I've spend over 110 hours on Prototype (by Radical Entertainment), if you ever heard of it. Some games can just be too addicting. Is it me or is the Call of Duty series getting worse and worse? MW3 looks atrocious to me, MW2 looked like decent fun, and the original Call of Duty games look like they didn't suck at all. I wouldn't call them great, but they looked pretty cool compared to their modern games, which is odd. Modern games tend to outclass the old from my experience.
@Olemguy Well, I've seen many games like Crash Bandicoot's final games (made by the makers of Prototype, but a separate dev team), Sonic the Hedgehog pre-2010, Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Solid, etc. But it does depend and differs between different franchises. Call of Duty seems like a type of fun game for casual matches, but the main gameplay looks worse and worse as time goes on. I personally loved Prototype, but I respect your opinion.
One of the main problems with the current Call of Duty is that it takes itself way too seriously, pretending to be a mature game for adults, but they keep doing it wrong by only going for tacked on shock value.
@Olemguy I have never seen full walkthroughs and don't care for the story, but if all they do for seriousness is shock drama, they really aren't putting any emotion into it, and that's just sad. I was mainly talking about the gameplay, but the game isn't that mature if all it does is cheap tricks to make itself feel "cool". How were the older games in terms of seriousness and story tone?
@vgman94 The COD gameplay itself is alright I guess, I'm personally not a huge fan though. The problem is that you need to fork over €59 for something that should be a free update. I only played Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, V Rally, and Diddy Kong Racing in the 90's so I don't really have much to say, though I have become a Half-Life fan later on. Old games tend not to take themselves more seriously than they really are.
@vgman94 I think the problem is that US based publishers are afraid of bad rep from conservative news outlets, developers follow suit of their publishers of course... Look at Polish CDProjekt REDs' The Witcher 2, that's how you take advantage of the M rating and tell the story and display the atmosphere you want to.
@Olemguy Ah, yes. Conservatives and their bleeding hearts are a pain. Especially Fox News with their childish video game stories bashing on things such as Six Days in Fallujah and Portal 2 for a variety of reasons, many of which undermine the meaning behind what they're insulting. I came across The Witcher 2 recently on a Wikipedia page. Interesting game. I may look at some videos of it some time.
@Olemguy It actually looks like a good shooter. I am disappointed in Konami (the former publishers, if I remember right). Thanks for the recommendation.
@vgman94 Yeah. While I can easily just fire up ArmA II if I want military simulation there's always something missing, a good war story, and believable characters. :(
Well, happy to recommend. Thanks for the conversation, mate.
@sharartie No, its people who DON'T know that who are idiots. Its part of basic education. The very same people talk nonsense about environmental issues, try to ban powerful engines and etc. Dumb people (like these hippies) should not be allowed to take part in any public decisions. Its people who have IQ higher than 110 that should be making decisions.
@sharartie it's not important...unless you try to get it banned. All of those people tried to get it banned without even knowing what it was. Defending dumbasses doesn't make you look very smart either.
I'm glad Penn & Teller did this, but honestly I've probably signed petitions before I really didn't care about; (like prevent a new set of traffic lights) because these idiots harass you & won't shut up till you agree & sign, or you start having to argue with them how you can live with yourself after not signing there stupid list.
A lot of you people miss the point. If you don't know what your supporting, you should try to get informed. Then you won't be anti-whatever-people-tell-you-to-be-against.
Penn's closing point kind of bothered me, just in that they are environmentalists. They were convinced that Di-hydrogen monoxide was a dangerous, poisonous chemical (and I guess it is, but obviously the benefits of water outweigh these negative points by far). They were uninformed, and hasty, but they still want to do the right thing for the environment. They aren't just doing it to be cool, or to be a part of a group.
@antihax91 You're absolutely right, and that's exactly the problem. They *want* to do the *right thing* for the environment, but they're too fucking dumb to know what the *right thing* is. Look, we all want a better environment. Some of use are just fucking dumb. That's the big picture illustrated by this video.
I love Penn and Teller but this video isn't fair. First off how many people know water as dihydrogen monoxide? Second you have someone purporting it quite well as a toxic substance. It's meant to make certain people look stupid, but any level of intelligence can be fooled by this.
@TheBraincandy123 At no point does she say toxic she just said it was found in everything, the point was not to see if they knew what it was but the fact that NO one bothered to ask what it was.
Saying that she didn't stretch the truth is in itself stretching the truth. The thing is, P&T are trying to say that you have to think before acting or expressing but 90% of the comments just repeat them without questioning.
@leonia97 Well, she DID say it was a chemical used in pesticides and nuclear plants and that it caused extensive sweating, urination and vomiting. Of course, all of this is true, but would YOU know she was talking about water?
@Isteinier No but i would at least ask some questions or google it (What IS IT, What is it used for. She said urination, vomiting and sweating none of that is something that would make me go MUST BAN.)A few people sighed without her even saying what its "in" all she had to say was "you wanna ban this" and they sighed
@leonia97 True, especially the woman who said she was 'familiar with it' :P
The thing is, everybody seems to make snap conclusions without being informed. I guess people are lazy in the most broadest sense of the word, preferring being told what to think instead of thinking for themselves... Sad, isn't it?
@canibaloxide Sure, except it has nothing to do with the Ground Zero mosque and that the Ground Zero mosque isn't a mosque and that the Ground Zero mosque isn't on Ground Zero...
Well you can even die from drinking it too much. It lowers the osmolality of your blood, which causes red blood cells to absorb more water, in an effort to restore osmotic balance between intra- and extracellular fluid. Eventually the blood cells swell up and burst. This means you can't transport oxygen efficiently and your blood starts to clot from the iron and zink that was released from the cells. Very gruesome death... But you have to drink like 5 liters in under an hour or so.
Thats the thing, most people dont think or dont want to think for themselfs. They just go with the flow. I think Barney in "How I met your mother" had a scientific term for this. "Cheerleader syndrome"
@ignbtd no you won't. if that was the case people would not die from drinking too much water since they would eject the excess before it upset their body chemistry. the makers of the video have cleverly used the right word (excessive) in the wrong place to trick you. drinking excessive dihydrogen monoxide is harmful. however you need to consume about 8 litres in a day which is pretty hard to pull off. excessive sweating and urination means you need surgery, drinking less water won't help.
lol, isn't this how cannabis was made illegal? Didn't Henry Anslinger, rename cannabis to marijuanna. Hurray for self righteous, uninformed, vegan hippies.
Fucking stupid vegans, always think they're better than everyone else.
@EclecticSceptic Yes but she didn't say that. It matters how you deliver a fact. A lot of human communication is implied. People can communicate entire sentences by a look or nudge. Kant was wrong when he opined that dishonesty consisted of merely stating a falsehood. This isn't true. One can state a truth with the intention of some other untrue statement being implied. This is what she did here. In the context of banning a dangerous chemical, 'causes vomiting' doesn't mean 'when ready to burst'
@Flip111000 Your response is so witty because you disregarded everything I said and just said 'yes'. Ha ha ha how sensible of you. Oh wait it just presents you as an ignorant moron and everything I said still stands.

@Olemguy Skyrim is so overrated. I am disgusted. Game of the Year, too. I mean really? Don't people see other games out there? Obscure or popular, there's many better games than Skyrim.
vgman94 1 month ago
@vgman94 I personally loved Skyrim, I guess there's a reason I've spent 123.7 hours on it, though I think it was mostly addiction and the infamous "just one more quest before bed" disorder. I'm just happy MW3 didn't get GOTY, in the sane outlets anyway.
Olemguy 1 month ago
@Olemguy Fair view. I've spend over 110 hours on Prototype (by Radical Entertainment), if you ever heard of it. Some games can just be too addicting. Is it me or is the Call of Duty series getting worse and worse? MW3 looks atrocious to me, MW2 looked like decent fun, and the original Call of Duty games look like they didn't suck at all. I wouldn't call them great, but they looked pretty cool compared to their modern games, which is odd. Modern games tend to outclass the old from my experience.
vgman94 1 month ago
@vgman94 I had Prototype once, returned it, didn't like it. ):
Call of Duty has been pretty bad since Call of Duty: Finest Hour if I recall correctly.
I wouldn't really say modern games tend to always outclass older games, it really depends on the games in question me thinks. :V
Olemguy 1 month ago
@Olemguy Well, I've seen many games like Crash Bandicoot's final games (made by the makers of Prototype, but a separate dev team), Sonic the Hedgehog pre-2010, Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Solid, etc. But it does depend and differs between different franchises. Call of Duty seems like a type of fun game for casual matches, but the main gameplay looks worse and worse as time goes on. I personally loved Prototype, but I respect your opinion.
vgman94 1 month ago
@vgman94 And I respect yours. :)
One of the main problems with the current Call of Duty is that it takes itself way too seriously, pretending to be a mature game for adults, but they keep doing it wrong by only going for tacked on shock value.
Olemguy 1 month ago
@Olemguy I have never seen full walkthroughs and don't care for the story, but if all they do for seriousness is shock drama, they really aren't putting any emotion into it, and that's just sad. I was mainly talking about the gameplay, but the game isn't that mature if all it does is cheap tricks to make itself feel "cool". How were the older games in terms of seriousness and story tone?
vgman94 1 month ago
@vgman94 The COD gameplay itself is alright I guess, I'm personally not a huge fan though. The problem is that you need to fork over €59 for something that should be a free update. I only played Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, V Rally, and Diddy Kong Racing in the 90's so I don't really have much to say, though I have become a Half-Life fan later on. Old games tend not to take themselves more seriously than they really are.
Olemguy 1 month ago
@vgman94 I think the problem is that US based publishers are afraid of bad rep from conservative news outlets, developers follow suit of their publishers of course... Look at Polish CDProjekt REDs' The Witcher 2, that's how you take advantage of the M rating and tell the story and display the atmosphere you want to.
Olemguy 1 month ago
@Olemguy Ah, yes. Conservatives and their bleeding hearts are a pain. Especially Fox News with their childish video game stories bashing on things such as Six Days in Fallujah and Portal 2 for a variety of reasons, many of which undermine the meaning behind what they're insulting. I came across The Witcher 2 recently on a Wikipedia page. Interesting game. I may look at some videos of it some time.

Penn's closing point kind of bothered me, just in that they are environmentalists. They were convinced that Di-hydrogen monoxide was a dangerous, poisonous chemical (and I guess it is, but obviously the benefits of water outweigh these negative points by far). They were uninformed, and hasty, but they still want to do the right thing for the environment. They aren't just doing it to be cool, or to be a part of a group.

Saying that she didn't stretch the truth is in itself stretching the truth. The thing is, P&T are trying to say that you have to think before acting or expressing but 90% of the comments just repeat them without questioning.
Also: Penn in the background at 1:52.

@Isteinier No but i would at least ask some questions or google it (What IS IT, What is it used for.

Well you can even die from drinking it too much. It lowers the osmolality of your blood, which causes red blood cells to absorb more water, in an effort to restore osmotic balance between intra- and extracellular fluid. Eventually the blood cells swell up and burst. This means you can't transport oxygen efficiently and your blood starts to clot from the iron and zink that was released from the cells. Very gruesome death... But you have to drink like 5 liters in under an hour or so.

@ignbtd no you won't. if that was the case people would not die from drinking too much water since they would eject the excess before it upset their body chemistry. the makers of the video have cleverly used the right word (excessive) in the wrong place to trick you. drinking excessive dihydrogen monoxide is harmful. however you need to consume about 8 litres in a day which is pretty hard to pull off. excessive sweating and urination means you need surgery, drinking less water won't help.

@EclecticSceptic Yes but she didn't say that. It matters how you deliver a fact. A lot of human communication is implied. People can communicate entire sentences by a look or nudge. Kant was wrong when he opined that dishonesty consisted of merely stating a falsehood. This isn't true. One can state a truth with the intention of some other untrue statement being implied. This is what she did here. In the context of banning a dangerous chemical, 'causes vomiting' doesn't mean 'when ready to burst'
