What they do, when they are not banning guns

"ALISO VIEJO, Calif. (AP) -- City officials were so concerned about the potentially dangerous properties of dihydrogen monoxide that they considered banning foam cups after they learned the chemical was used in their production

Then they learned, to their chagrin, that dihydrogen monoxide -- H2O for short -- is the scientific term for water. "

1. Hydroxyl acid and hydrogen hydroxide are nothing to joke about

Just as dangerous as DHMO any day.

:freak:

2. Yeah

I weep for the future

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

3. I can imagine that meeting

"We don't know what it is, but it sounds really dangerous so we should ban it."

4. Kills on contact ...

in its superheated gaseous state.

Total immersion in its liquid phase can lead to death.

Prolonged contact in its solid state has also been documented to result in death.

On top of that, it's highly addictive.

But still, it's much better to regulate guns and ban concealed carry.

5. Funny, Orange County is conservative central...

Guess it's another "Conservaitve Idiot" story...

Meanwhile,, I'm intrigued to see yet another example of RKBA spasm...."Why, here's a story about a town in Orange County that was fooled by wat--AWKKK! GUNS!!"

7. Who the hell are you trying to kid?

Perhaps if there weren't so many idiotic posts from the RKBA crowd, there might be more conversation....

Meanwhile, I've never known a right winger who wasn't a total blithering idiot.

[RoeBear]

8. You seem to treat your fellow...

...Democrats with the same disrespect.

[MrBenchley]

9. Which ones are those, roe?

The ones who post turds from right wing cesspools like Newsmax and American Daily?

The ones who screamed that John Kerry was evil and that they'd never ever vote Democratic last week?

Funny how fescue's mood changed when he found out it was conservative Republicans who are responsible for this bit of stupidity, isn't it? He was sure full of scorn in post one, but then suddenly his tone was "idiocy is not partisian..."

Meanwhile, I still don't see how the RKBA crowd worked guns into this rubbish....

[RoeBear]

12. You've posted items from the

...NRA. How does that make you any different from them?

[MrBenchley]

13. For one thing, roe...

I posted them to show what a scummy bunch of racist right wing shitheels the NRA are....

[RoeBear]

14. When you do it good...

...when they do it bad.

Me get it.

[MrBenchley]

16. In other words...

The RKBA crowd wants to pimp for these right wing numbnuts...and gets pissed off when they can't.

[RoeBear]

18. In other words..

...any body who believes in gun rights is a racist, even if they are black. Preposterous.

[MrBenchley]

19. In other words...

There's not a racist around who isn't pushing this dishonest "gun rights" crap at the top of his lungs.

[RoeBear]

20. Then I guess I must thank them...

...for their efforts in getting rid of Jim Crow gun laws and letting honest black citizens have the right to carry concealed the same as whites.

[MrBenchley]

21. Cheer for right wing loonies all you want, roe

Nobody expects anything else from the RKBA crowd...as we see from their posts..

[RoeBear]

22. Look I'm pro union and pro gun

stop insinuating that I'm not a Democrat NOW!

[MrBenchley]

23. Gee, roe, I'm not insinuating anything...

I'm just pointing out the sort of crap the RKBA crowd posts on a regular basis.

[demsrule4life]

15. Translation

any pro gun argument is idiotic and should not be posted. What a boring place this would become.

[MrBenchley]

17. Hey, it's not my fault that the RKBA arguments are so idiotic

But that DOES explain why right wing morons and bigots find them so appealing.

[CO Liberal]

24. Not All Pro-Gun Arguments Are Idiotic....

...just some pro-gunners. Such as the NRA leadership.

:-)

[MrBenchley]

25. On the other hand...

I'm still trying to figure out how someone reads a report about dumb-ass conservatives in Orange County nearly banning water and says "guns!"...or is full of scorn before he finds out it's right wingers and not so much afterwards.

[slackmaster]

26. Do you really believe Fescue4u was not aware of OC's reputation

As a Republican stronghold?

Do tell.

[Fescue4u]

27. Oh what a pantload

It was a joke pointing out the idiocy of politics who run to ban anything that they don't understand and find scary.

Surely even the most hoplophobic among us, (ahem), can see at least a slight similiarity to those who support certain gun legislation (the completely ineffective AWB comes to bind).

Bad politicians are bad politicians, I don't care what their party affliation is. And I consider a politician bad if he wants to ban my civil rights, OR if he/she wants to ban water.

As for the party affliation of the folks referenced in the story...well I don't know but I assumed that they were proably Democrat as they are from California. However just being a Democrat is not enough for me to overlook the lunacy of banning water.

[MrBenchley]

28. Geeze, what a shame for your "joke"

that it turned out to be the kind of right wing imbeciles who spout that bogus "gun rights" crap who almost banned water then....if it had been left wing Democrats like the rest of us here, I'm sure it would have seemed hilarious to dittoheads and other scum...

"the completely ineffective AWB comes to bind"
Gee, it's hilarious to hear the people who erupt in rage anytime renewal is discussed pretend that the bill they obsess over day and night is ineffective. But then how dumb does someone have to be to think that the NRA would order the immunity bill deep-sixed just because an ineffectual amendment dealing with cosmetics was attached?

I guess they have to be dumb enough to think hoplophobia is anything but a lack of stupidity, or that the crap spouted by Larry Pratt and Ted Nugent has anything to do with civil rights.

[Fescue4u]

29. A sense of humor is a big help.

If one cant see the inherent humor in water banners, then they proably have a distorted view of pretty much everything else in life as well.

Best of luck to you.

[MrBenchley]

30. I DO see the inherent humor

in right wing numbnuts banning water....I just find it twice as funny that somebody suddenly worked a gun fetish into the story...and NOW is pouting because the dimwits aren't Democrats.

[Fescue4u]

31. another pantload

Hardly.

First off, we don't know what their afflilation is..I only have your assertation that they are repubs and frankly your credibilty isnt to high lately (no offense meant).

Nonetheless, I hope they are conservative repubs if this is their mode of operation.

Remember, civil rights is a LIBERAL position and the right to bear arms is a civil right.

Those who oppose the civil right of arming ones self are not completely liberal.

Seriously Bench, you need to lighten up a little. Sometimes I suspect that you are getting yourself a little worked up over a bunch of good natured fun. This post was meant to be a fun one.

[MrBenchley]

32. So in other words

you're still desperately hoping that it is Democrats you are jeering at....ho-kay.

"Remember, civil rights is a LIBERAL position and the right to bear arms is a civil right."
Now THAT's a fucking pantload. Civil rights IS a liberal position...which is why pretty much every civil rights group in the country ended up on the NRA's idiotic enemies list and every racist piece of shit in the country is spouting this dishonest "gun rights" crap.

"This post was meant to be a fun one."
And I'm sure laughing my ass off at the RKBA crowd in it too.

10. It's a Hoax, Folks!!!!

From the Snopes web site:

Update: In March 2004 the California municipality of Aliso Viejo (a suburb in Orange County) came within a cat's whisker of falling for this hoax after a paralegal there convinced city officials of the danger posed by this chemical. The leg-pull got so far as a vote having been scheduled for the City Council on a proposed law that would have banned the use of foam containers at city-sponsored events because (among other things) they were made with DHMO, a substance that could "threaten human health and safety."

http://www.snopes.com/toxins/dhmo.htm

[FatSlob]

11. Yup, Wayne, they fell for it!

Basically, this municipality fell for the hoax and almost banned water. I posted about it the other day in the Lounge.

[Wickerman]

33. Locking, and I want all of you to think about this

It was all a hoax, and, and, it nearly tore our close litle family apart. Please, both sides now, try to treat each other with a tad more respect.

thank you, end of family meeting.
