Garbage Island

This whole freaking thing is plastic! It's a fake! They didn't even show the freaking plastics! If they claim that it's twice the size of Texas then show it on the freaking map. How hard is this shit to find if it's bigger than a freaking state?! Show it on the freaking satellite bitches then I'll believe this hoax...

you are a complete idiot

the plastic and stuff is mostly underwater

We're not talking about a huge chunk here, we're talking about tiny bits that float around far under the surface.
Go on a trip out there, dive under the water and open your mouth for half a minute. You'll have several tiny bits of plastic in your mouth.

The issue is the fact that small animals like fish and birds try to eat the plastic. And also that it'll eventually reach us.
Sure, you can call it a hoax. But there's more than enough proof of it. And where else does the plastic go?

@cynicaldemon: Someone told me that it was an actual island. It had me confused because the definition of an island is something that is above water. So therefore they shouldn't call it an island. See what I'm saying?

People make mistakes. You should've looked it up before making that statement either way ;)
And people like calling it an island, true. I'm not sure what I'd use for a word instead though that describes it simply. An underwater Island?

black people

they should try!

You are right, some of the worst pollution (certainly the worst litter) comes from the developing world slums. One need only visit a beach outside of Manila or Jakarta to see that. I'm sure they would like to do it right, but they have nowhere to put their garbage and no incentives to process it correctly. So what you see in places like Ensenada Mexico is car batteries, pools of motor oil, TV sets, tires, plastic bags etc. in the ditches on the side of the roads.

There ya go.
