People Are Sharing “Modern-Day Poisons” That Are Normalized Now But Will Probably Be Seen As Dangerous In The Future (30 Answers)

And yet, here we are...

Indeed! Remember the argument regarding 'your body doesn't know the difference' with regard to HFCS? Similar thing with 'non-ionizing radiation'. FWIW, as an example, microwave ovens don't 'ionize' foods - all they do is cause materials to vibrate violently, heating them up, cooking them.

Yeah, that makes sense...

Never had it, dont want it, in fact my browser blocks anything facebook or instagram related.

The way the Christo-fascists see it, it’s a one-way ban: the government can’t interfere in religion but religion can be the government.

Many of the nation's founding fathers (Jefferson, Madison & others) knew that there MUST be a separation of State and Church for many simple but intelligent reasons. But many villains and madmen will always grab and hold onto any tool, scientific or supernatural if they believe it gives them the upper hand in their desires and needs.

AMEN!

It’s all “ The constitution is the American way” until it comes to freedom of religion

Read the Establishment Clause please

Unfortunately, the original idea was just a suggestion (the phrase "separation of church and state" isn't in the constitution, but in one of Jefferson's letters).

My apologies. What it says is governent cannot ESTABLISH. Same difference though

I suggest you educate yourself. The tradition is christianity not the state. Founders wanted no official religion for their newly formed country. This was reactionary as the new citizens were primarily from England where the head of the country was also the head of Christianity there. It was rejection of duel power of government and religion under one authority. Otherwise they were 'quite Christian'. This has been perverted by activists and atheists. Now the current modern marxist moment in disguise is attempting to use this as yet another wedge to further fragment the populus and create another flashpoint of hate and chaos.

We (here in the U.K.) can a least take some solace in the fact that at the last census the ‘believers’ were in a minority. We are moving away from doctrine written by powerful, rich men and starting moves to separate the church elders from the Lords. It’s going to take a while but from tiny acorns giant oaks grow!

Again, in the 50's, the fear of commies got President Ike and others to add "God" officially to the Pledge of Allegiance. They thought commies didn't necessary believe in God and this would perhaps separate the good guys from the bad.

.....and in the 1930's, it wasn't hand on heart, it was: Students_p...8b83a7.jpg

I'm sure the Romans had toxic fandoms too. "OMG that new Gladiator Maximus is a TFU!"

Yeah, we're stuck with that one, I'm afraid.

I think a lot of issues with our current society have actually been around for most of civilisation, but they all seem to be amplified or exacerbated by the internet

The article is titled “Modern-Day Poisons”, not 'problems'.

You're right, but I'd like to point out that misogyny wasn't the initial reason they didn't wash their hands; it later contributed to why they refused to change despite all the evidence, but it wasn't the original cause. Initially, it was because of two factors: first and foremost, germ theory had not developed yet, so they couldn't understand that infection could be carried from one patient to another via the doctor post-op, and secondly there were times where having bloodied hands were kind of a status symbol among doctors, I guess as an indicator of the kind of work they were doing. But of course, the less deaths the midwives had should've indicated that hygiene helped, but this was ignored because the midwives had little to no formal training, whereas all the doctors were 'qualified'

Harmful it may be, but I'm glad I live in a country where the government doesn't do things like banning media that doesn't agree with it.

really? What country? honestly, I wish it was banned in America though it’ll never happen

I don't think governments should be allowed to ban social media, but this just might be a very good thing...

I get ads for it all the time on YouTube and it makes me never want to download that...snapshot, instagrim, or whatever.

Hi Stardust, which country are you in?

India?

Isn't that banning free speech? I mean, EVEN TikTok is free speech..

I don't believe in baning..(I meam things like this or banning books, movies etc.) Educate about stuff, and let people decide on their own.

it's not going anywhere

Hate that fake laugh
