People On This Group Are Sharing Examples Of ‘Urban Hell’ That Look Like A Dystopian Movie But Are Sadly Real (40 Pics)
ADVERTISEMENT
Not every building is as beautiful as the Palace of Versailles. Or blends into its surroundings as well as the Macallan Distillery. On the contrary, there are many structures across the world looking like outcasts that will fall apart during the next storm. In some places, they aren't isolated examples, either — even an entire neighborhood can be an abomination. And you can find them on r/UrbanHell.
It's a photography subreddit of "all the hideous places human beings built or inhabit." The online community invites everyone who wants to explore the darker side of the cities, towns, and villages in our shared world and welcomes any photos which show either ugliness, or a problem in urban development. Rural and suburban nightmares are also allowed.
Below you will find a collection of pics that perfectly describe what this subreddit is all about.

If only nature could actually give back all the trash to us, maybe we will see the damage we are doing :(

Yup--but we know that most folks will look at this & think "Those People"--not thinking about the trash or pollution they themselves generate-- in north america we pay a lot of people to "Clean" it up for us--but have you noticed that everyday there is Fresh trash in the streets/parks ect -Someone else cleans it up so we just keep dumping it anywhere-Just look at all the masks /fast food garbage ect ect in parking lots ect ect-- Gotta keep the car clean but to lazy to put stuff in the garbage can-

etcetera is what you're looking for so the abbreviation is the first three letters of the word: etc. ECT (ect) is electro-convulsive therapy, a lifesaver for a lot of people and undeserving of the negative reputation it acquired. Thankfully I live someplace where litter mediation has worked to some extent.

Climate has always changed. We are over do for our 60k ice age. An Ice Age would cause way more death and destruction than global warming - making more land available for farming in Canada and Alaska. I'm sure if CNN was around, they'd blame us for the death of the dinosaurs and global cooling.

Does anyone remember the tsunamis in Japan and elsewhere in the world several years ago? Do you remember seeing the videos of all the trash and objects that washed off of Japan into the ocean? Well that is where most of it originated, as well as from cruise ships. Some of it also came from the Chinese barges who bought trash from other countries to take it to their country. Most people don't throw trash in the ocean and everyone I know throws their trash in a trash can, not in a parking lot.

It's all effect - lens, zoom and angle. If you were to stand in that place it would look nothing like that. It might seem a little bleak, but this image was deliberately taken in a way so as to -EMPHASISE- a depiction of poverty. It's a bit like taking a zoom shot of an open wound with necrotic infection and presenting that as representative of healthcare. It's very dishonest. And when you take into account that this is obviously somewhere in China and that things look like that in China not because there's no money but because of a cultural attitude that says public space is "not my responsibility", is "someone else's responsibility", then the lie is even more insidious. You see nice cars, restaurants, so could conclude everyone's fine, but you see dirty walls and squirm, but that's just your prejudice. And though large numbers of people in relatively small spaces is normal for any large city, that this image enhances the effect, along with the grime, leads your mind to false conclusions, which is again borne of your prejudice. And while prejudice is not a bad thing in and of itself (despite the noise of hordes of excitable, simple-minded dumbards), at least know it for what it is.

Having said that - Yick Fat Building is not a posterboy for Hong Kong poverty. As stated elsewhere, the apartements inside are usually a lot more modern than you might expect from the outside. (went inside see two apartments when moving to HK) - The building I ended up in the end looked like this from the outside - yet the flat itself had polished limestone floors a (albeit tiny) modern kitchen with everything I needed ... did I mention the comically huge flat screen tv.

Exactly. This is actually Hong Kong, which is not a poor city. Hong Kong has incredibly bright buildings but weather and photography tricks will make a bustling city look bleak. I lived in an apartment that was very similar to this, and it was nothing like what the other commenters suggest.

But if I did, and all these apartments were spotless, artistic treasures INSIDE, this would still be as bleak and ugly as sin.

I thought the point of the pictures in this article is more about the soulless urban architecture and planning rather than the people that live in them. Who is judging the people who live in them? There are good people behind closed doors in every echelon of society. Unfortunately there are builders and developers who will build ever upwards, often using substandard materials, to extract every last dime possible for profit - they are the people that need to be called out, and the governments who allow it to happen. With growing urban populations, sometimes people have to live wherever they can find a place they can afford - it is not a matter of their character or worth as individuals. It’s just the urban environment, not the people who live there.

No. Asia, but not HK. I recall places much more bleak looking than this in Bangkok, and half those buildings had high quality driving ranges on the roof. Not sure what your point is. Do I need to have been to HK to be able to speak about projecting? I'll paraphrase. You have an image of dirty walls. An image of large buildings with many windows. Safe to assume many occupants. Nothing to indicate the conditions inside, nor the quality of life in the area. Does having been to HK grant you some extrasensory ability? Tell me, then: name of the street; number of people occupying the building; average individual personal living space; average income; size of immediate economy; quality of life rating; happiness rating. Sad? What makes you assume that? That it's HK? HK has sad people? Does it have content people? Happy people? Where do they live? In rainbows? In Bangkok I stayed right next to one of the rivers near Khao San Road for several months. Buried deep down among the Soi, the small streets and alleys. Very poor area. Very, very poor. People are collecting bottles to sell to the drink companies to help get by. Every other home doubles as a cheap restaurant. Their ground floor is their livelihood. Every year during the monsoon the entire place floods. Every year. Water up to my waist. Half way up their torso. The river is very polluted. People get sick swimming in there, so people generally don't. But they have to live in it for several months out of every year. Families. Children. Elderly people. Very poor area. Happiest, most content, most welcoming, thoughtful, caring people I've ever encountered in my life. Most people smile everytime you see them. Very polite. Very considerate. Always acknowledging and greeting you. Always friendly. Always positive. Always good-natured. It's sad because it's grey, you reckon? I reckon that's a sad way to assess the world.

While it certainly enhances the effect..and having no sky behind it just more floors seemingly going upwards for eternity is very effect and even adds to the claustrophobic aspect associated with those rooms. I lost you on my prejudices and stuff..but I don’t believe is it dishonest..clearly that building is condemned and dilapidated..and it does clearly shows an area of poverty but it also Carrie’s historical significance. I don’t believe by creating a dynamic composition that heightens the way you experience this landmark is in anyway dishonest..now if you photoshopped it or added filters or what not that would be dishonest. Gordon has a point..but I hear yours as well.When it comes to taking pictures of poverty, suffering, refugees or victims of a traumatic event..it is somewhat of the photographers responsibility and just for aesthetic, optical and ethical practice to not exaggerate or manipulate those type of photographs.

Actually these are pretty reasonable apartments for HK, and in a pretty nice area (Quarry Bay). I live a block from here and the inside is a whole lot better than the outside. They don't pressure wash the buildings here so even the decent ones look like the roughest slums, but I assure you they are not. Like someone said it's the perspective, when you're there it's hardly noticeable because most buildings are this colour and stained which makes them look significantly crappier. Cost for monthly rent here in a 150sqft studio apartment is likely around 1000USD - 2500USD (basing this on what I pay for rent for a similar looking building).

Kowloon walled city, but there is this Kowloon encompasses the northern part of Hong Kong, on the mainland across Victoria Harbour. Once a separate city, it was acquired by Britain in 1860 and returned to China with the rest of the colony in 1997. It’s now a shopping, arts and entertainment district. Stores line Nathan Road, while traditional markets offer goods from flowers and goldfish to clothes and jade

True. They are probably happy and proud that they live in one of the richest cities before it became communist.

It's not sad it's just dense. All these pople have to live somewhere! And maybe they would rather spend money making the inside of their home looks nice rather than the outside of the building that they don't even own. In a lot of countries we put a lot of worth on how our homes look on the outside (like a green lawn or landscaping) but when you live in a building it's not as important. I don't think in Hong Kong there are a lot of single family homes so maybe for them it's not a standard they feel pressure to live up to.

The cost of living in this building is going to be on par with SF. That housing is not, by American standards, "affordable". It's in Quarry Bay which is a developed, financial hub and you're looking at minimum 1000USD a month for a small studio with a mini fridge.

Hong Kong is actually a lovely place to live. It's right on the bay, lovely sea breeze in fall and spring, blue skies and great transportation. Lots of parks and hiking trails in the forest literally minutes from Central/downtown.

I am not an engineer so I hope someone with Expertise will read it and maybe provide an answer. I always asked myself how is it possible for this building not to collapse? I mean they look so bridle and run down. Of course I hope they won't collapse. As I visit Russia regular I see similar buildings and every time I ask myself this question.
About half of the global population already lives in cities, and by 2050, two-thirds of the world's people are expected to live in urban areas. But as you can see from some of the photos in r/UrbanHell, in cities, two of the most pressing problems facing the world today also come together: poverty and environmental degradation.
Bad urban development isn't just ugly aesthetics. It's also poor air and water quality, insufficient water availability, waste-disposal problems, and high energy consumption, all of which are exacerbated by the increasing population density and demands of urban environments. Strong city planning is essential in managing these and other difficulties as the world's urban areas grow.

The point of the comment is that Californians look at something like this and immediately think “earthquake” (I’m a Californian and that was also my first thought), not that we don’t have other problems. I’m not afraid of earthquakes—they’re simply a part of life here.

Sure the skyscrapers aren't as bad as the close up photo, but what about the rest of the buildings, the short ones? How crowded is that?
Kristina Thomas 3 years ago
Ok but when you live in a city you do see it close up, not far away. And even if those buildings in the photo are on different blocks, they probably are adjacent to each other rather than half of them being on the other side of the city. You can tell because the building sections look about the same size, whereas any far away world look smaller. The buildings adjacent to each other in the distance photo look pretty close together if you compare their distance apart with the size of the buildings. Either they are pretty close, or dude each building is the size of a city block. It's just not good to crowd people together like that! Traffic (even if it's bikes and pedestrians), the stress of being in crowds too often, having to deal with interacting with way more people than we naturally would in older style cities, the noise, the pollution... It's not good. I live in a major metropolitan area in Southern California, and it makes people act less social. And the smog is at a cancerous leve

Sorry man but you're wrong on this one. Those buildings are all part of the same housing complex and they very much are on the same block, albeit a large city block. This is tremendously common in HK. Look up Laguna City. I thiiiink the picture you're referencing is South Horizons, similar situation. The buildings are not as close as this picture makes them look, but they're all on the same block in the same complex.

You have to wonder what all that ammonium nitrate, a known explosive, was doing in that one place...
Mjw Gjgema 4 years ago
Ammonium nitrate is a fertilizer for enrichment of nitrogen-poor soils. It is a strong oxydizer too. Often used for car bombs in combination with diesel fuel.
Mjw Gjgema 4 years ago
The right storage is therefore critical. It should be kept away from anything that is waiting to be oxydized, even dust. It was lying there already for more than two years without continuous inspections. The municipality sould have taken it away to be brought far away from populated areas. It was unloaded from a freighter to be delivered but that company was bankrupt. Well, it is the Middle East, so nobody felt responsible for it. I have lived and worked there, I know how it works...

Not Hezbollah, criminal incompetence on the part of the Lebanese authorities, and the shipping company responsible for the presence of the ammonium nitrate in the warehouse. You might want to reconnect with the actual facts of the incident.
Mimi M 3 years ago (edited)
Ah. So you do not believe the reports that the ammonium nitrate was being stored there by Hezbollah? Or that Hezbollah has threatened the judge investigating the blast? Or that Hezbollah is intertwined with the Lebanese government? I refer you to this article from the German Die Welt: https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article213884822/Libanon-Die-explosive-Spur-fuehrt-zur-Hisbollah.html (can right click and translate). Also the book: Beirut 2020: Diary of the Collapse by Charif Majdalani. Hezbollah had a long history of shipping and caching ammonium nitrate for explosive purposes, and the shipment that exploded was traced to a bank used by Hezbollah. If you think it was just there for fertilizer, that's your business, I and others don't share that view.

i lived many years in Oregon, where i helped to edit some videos on logging on public lands. They cut down old growth trees and sold them whole to be taken to japan to be ground up for diapers. not to mention the sickness that is the US military in the 1940s developing the atom bombs, and with very little testing or understanding they incinerated 2 entire cities in Japan when japan, an island country, had nearly been cleaned out of anything in the factories and munitions already, all those thousands of citizens old men women and babies were turned to dust or burnt to suffer terrible effects, and we have not really been held accountable nor apologized, and its an act of violence that has not been equaled, yet we sit here all proud to be american. then lets go bigger; how about the number of seriously flawed nuke plants all over the world, yet nobody seems too concerned about reducing their carbon footprint. the greedy bastard society is standing on gaias neck.

Hitler killed more people then those 2 bombs combined. We didn't apologize because it was during a war. I don't condone use of nuclear weapons at all and don't agree with our severe military response. Japan did attack us first killing many young soldiers never declaring war until hours later. We asked them for a peaceful resolution and even gave the revised terms of only stop and surrender your military only. We do not want your country nor do we want to even enter. They declined, insisting on continued attacks on our military and our country. Their leader so recognized his error he committed suicide as an apology to his people. We did go to Japan to sign the surrender and end of war docs and immediately helped with injured and sick. We also helped rebuild their cities. Their citizens were lied to by their own government about American soldiers. They were terrified because they were bombarded with pamphlets that had pics of our GI's with dog heads eating babies and worse.

Some of the biggest problems caused by urbanization are:
- Intensive urban growth can lead to greater poverty, with local governments unable to provide services for all people;
- Concentrated energy use. It leads to greater air pollution with a significant impact on human health;
- Automobile exhaust produces elevated lead levels in urban air;
- Large volumes of uncollected waste create multiple health hazards;
- Urban development can magnify the risk of environmental hazards such as flash flooding;
- Pollution and physical barriers to root growth promote loss of urban tree cover;
- Animal populations are inhibited by toxic substances, vehicles, and the loss of habitat and food sources.

And horrendously hot. Imagine existing (vs “living”) in that - a place where it’s frequently 100+ degrees (F, ~40C) at 3 & 4am. The heat during the day - in more “coastal”/greener areas - bumps up to 110-120F (~45-50C) as soon as the sun rises, and stays there until it goes down (currently ~6am and 7pm). Cities in the UAE are also built predominantly on the coast, which gives them the added “bonus” of having increased humidity - caused by the sea water literally evaporating into the atmosphere because of the heat. Now: head on “home” and lock yourself in one of these boxes - which being all jammed together in really really tight rows will also act as a windbreak for their neighbours. Almost zero chance of any breeze to help move the smell of your neighbour’s rubbish, cooking, cleaning (or lack of). Hell, that close together, you can probably smell their armpits. Why on God’s green earth do we do this to ourselves? This isn’t a habitat for snakes, let alone humans.

"The stupid British roundabout" can actually be useful.

Washington D.C. has traffic circles (some with four lanes) and it doesn't take long to get used to them. If Americans have trouble with roundabouts in Britain it might be because the traffic is on the other side of the road.
Myriam Ickx 4 years ago
From what I know, Americans have troubles with the roundabouts in the US, too. An article I read ascribed this to many Americans having poor driving skills + their "Me first, I yield to nobody" culture + sometimes poorly designed roundabouts where large vehicles can't make a proper turn. No doubt DC drivers are more educated and roundabout-savvy than the average American.
Lulu D. 3 years ago
No joke there. I have friends and family who think I'm some kind of genius becauseI figured out how to use a roundabouts. (1st exit = right turn. 2nd = go straight. 3rd = left turn).

MDB 3 years ago
If your ability to navigate a roundabout prompts your friends and family to think you're a genius, your friends and family are stupid. Speaking of stupid - Americans were never "oddly confused" about manual transmissions, as they were the only kind available in cars & trucks until the 1930s .. maybe you should actually know what you're talking about before spewing your hatred of Americans and sticking your hoof into your mouth.

ok so ppl are commenting about this but lemme explain as I live right next to this complex. this is in dubai, where most of the plants that someone can actually grow there have to be watered at least twice a day to probably flourish. and water can be really expensive as it is sparse in this country. in fact, in the summer, it gets up to 50 degrees and therefore kills all plants that don't get watered 3 or 4 times a day and are in the shade, except the desert bushes that a lot of people don't like the look of them, as they look rly untidy and are covered in thorns (like cacti). Nad al Sheeba is one of the lower class compounds so its rly expensive and hard to grow the trees throughout the country. I hope this clears everything up :))

In '91 I saw the original ruler's quarters next to the oldest mosque in dubai: a mud dome with threadbare rugs and big fat koran, and the quarters were literally a 2 story mud and hay slap together with wood poles internally (rather than rebar) and some neurotic child had scrawled porn all over it.

100% spot on. That “I’ll just bypass the roundabout lane” is a dead giveaway. Have never seen that design anywhere but the UAE - but then again, I’ve not driven in every country that has roundabouts, lol. Also a lot easier to navigate than the 2016 spaghetti junction it was replaced by, wow.

You can see the difference between when it was first founded up until this point in time. Worlds tallest building, largest mall, worlds only 7 star hotel, the most expensive cocktail, and many more. If you compare the pictures you can’t even see these things but they are there in a different section of Dubai. I know that because I live there. Hope that clears everything up.

Yes. And let’s hope everyone doesn’t feel the need to procreate. My siblings and parents are really great at polluting the earth. Homes are full of junk that will add to our land fills and buying up products that use toxic chemicals which eventually seep into our water systems. There are plenty of children and animals that need to be adopted. Millennials, thankfully, are less interested in getting married and having babies.

Dubai needs door-to-door transport. The daytime temperature means it’s residents want to spend as little time as humanly possible outdoors. Even where options exist to walk (and they do - even SZ Rd has footpaths), people there will drive to get to the building across the road if it means they will spend less time without aircon. Getting fresh air there is a real challenge.

"Caucasity", okay here we have an example of your racism. TRUMP fought the Miami City Council and forced them to change the laws which allowed country clubs there to exclude blacks and Jews. HE got that changed. Not that many years ago operation Rainbow / PUSH had an official recognition of DONALD TRUMP for all he had done to help minorities succeed in business in NYC. Jesse Jackson had plenty of nice things to say about him at the time. Now he says Trump is a racist, what the F? All you know about Trump is what the deranged Left has poured into your empty head. Years ago Oprah Winfrey had him on her show - SHE didn't seem to think he was a racist then, when she asked him if he would ever think of running for President. NOBODY accused him of racism before then. Meanwhile, Hillary's Clinton Foundation paid for a fancy wedding for her ugly daughter while giving almost nothing to help the people for whom the cash had been donated.

Trump did more for this country than Biden has or will ever do. He didn’t care about the money. Every cent he earned was given to others, while he took a penny out of his salary because he was forced to.

What little they found on his associates they hoped could be used to lever some secret info of wrongdoings that could be used against Trump. The fear of Trump is still alive and well and they are still trying to investigate him, wanting to rummage through his taxes to see if they can't find something.

He started planning this twisted plot long before the election. And Covid gave him a perfect tool to use. Many more people using mail in ballots so as to keep themselves safe. And the more mail in ballots you have, the risk of fraudulent votes goes up exponentially.....in trumps version. We all watched as he suggested injecting bleach into a body to rid the virus and had military shoot rubber bullets and pepper spray into a crowd of people so he could get to his photo op.

Seems to me you’re overly emotional, which has lead you to under using your logic and common sense. President Trump had literally nothing to do with the placement of that advertisement. Zero. No matter what was placed in that spot it would still be next to people living and sleeping in the street because of its location in Mumbai, INDIA. A place with some of the worst poverty on this planet. Which, by the way, was created by the people in INDIA! They have a caste system there which makes it near impossible to escape poverty if you are born into poverty. Your TDS is showing and you sound like a lunatic. Judging from the rest of the comments you’re not alone though. As for life being better since we voted in Former Vice President Joe Biden, as an Africa-American woman, I have to sadly disagree. One example alone, in January a gallon of gas was $2.39 here, I paid $4.17 yesterday. That is $32.04 ADDITIONAL every time I fill.

You obviously don't follow economics. Like AT ALL. Fact: of the last 5 republican presidencies, EVERY SINGLE ONE LEFT OFFICE WITH THE COUNTRY'S NATIONAL DEBT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN IT WAS WHEN THEY TOOK OFFICE. ALSO FACT: Of the last 5 Democratic presidents, EVERY SINGLE ONE INHERITED ENORMOUS DEBT FROM THE PRIOR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AND, BY THE END OF THEIR TERMS, THAT DEBT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS. YOU cannot change facts. They exist and there is no "Trumping" them. Economists for years have been warning of the impact of Republican spending--because it is designed to get the wealthy elite a whole lot richer while vastly expanding the crevasse between them and everyone else. Whereas, Democrats invest in regular America and society. ---AND I'M NOT EVEN A DEMOCRAT.-- I'm just an Independent, anti-partisan everyday person who takes the time to question everything I see and hear from both sides.

What about back in 2016-2020, when America was the laughingstock with his shuttering lip, or "America's 1st" or cringe at every conference? This savior (Trump) almost got America into nuke and also building more nuclear rather than cutting the number of nuke. Oh, lol. Are you talking about a mean tweet that ultimately got Trump banned from all social media? Do you know they have a policy of harassment/deflamation, right? Oh, like you care about minorities, cry me a river.

- Plant trees and incorporate the care of city green spaces as a key element in urban planning.

Rather callous to call them fools. They may not even realize the dangers. Remember, somebody where you live had to be the one to realize just how bad swimming in frothing industrial waste could be. Hell, the Cuyahoga River had to catch fire (the water itself, not logs or other debris floating on top of it) for it to sink in here in the US—-and even then, 1969, it took decades to enact and enforce legislation requiring massive cleanup, and it’s not completely clean yet.
Load More Replies... Lara Milvain 4 years ago
And, how many of the companies generating the industrial waste are owned by US and Euro conglomerates? The people of India are being forced to bathe in the industrial waste of “western” civilisation. And worse, they often have little or no choice - whether or not they recognise the danger. We won’t dump it in our own back yards, but theirs is *fine*, because until someone thoughtlessly publishes a photo like this, we don’t have to think about the consequences. Like, the contribution from our posting comments on an internet board somewhere, using a device that’s production probably added to the foam these people are bagging in.

Don't underestimate the presence of Chinese oligarchs in the manufacturing line of business. There's a reason that most cities in China with industrial areas have smog so thick it changes the actual weather. And the Chinese have been buying so many businesses in the last 10-15 years--both in the U.S. and abroad-- that it would alarm the average American if they knew. American Fortune 500 companies, even. And don't get me started on their prolific real estate purchasing in the U.S. The big difference is: the Chinese don't have the kind of environmental policies many other 1st world countries have. That's also why there are more toxic chemicals in cheap Chinese products than those made in America, Europe, etc. (You can find lead, even, in ceramic bowls purportedly made for food use, as well as in cheap toys with metal parts (like jewelry and pewter figures). China's contributions to Global Warming and the health-related complications of bad manufacturing practice are prolific.
onivdsrapowijap 3 years ago
Klaatu Verrata, the reason why so many things are made in China is because countries from around the world send their stuff off to China to be made by slaves getting paid minimum wage ($~3 an hour) and have minimal education and training in manufacturing. Also, emissions PER CAPITA in China are much lower than in other countries, such as the US. China's huge population and slaves having to manufacture the world's stuff is why it pollutes so much as a whole, but even including the slave-run factories, China's emissions per capita are lower than the US.

You've obviously never been to--or even read anything about--India. They have roughly the same population (~1.4 BILLION people) as China, but in approximately 1/3 the space! ~1.2 million square miles in India vs. about 3.75 million in China. India is EXTREMELY caste. And most people are gravely poor. A majority of the people in India don't even have running water and/or electricity in their homes. Often, they can't even afford decent shoes. (AFRICA is similar). So...I think you are showing your 1st World Privilege. Try Googling it before you make a comment like that. For your own sake. So you don't embarrass yourself.

Sadly, bad education plus piety leads to this sort of behaviour ; these are predominantly poor, uneducated people, not 'fools', they most likely don't understand the correlation between early death and bathing in polluted water ; having been to India many times, one only has to drive a short distance to realise that this analogy goes for uneducated, ill trained people being put in charge of 2, 3 or 4 ton machines of death (cars, trucks, lorries) as well - the last time I was there, in Jaipur, I saw two buses collide, with one going off the side of a small mountain - 4 people died and the local police wrote it off as a 'minor' accident .....

Ganga has been cleaned up a lot. Largely because new govt is taking efforts. There are lot of illegal industries which operate around rivers which just dump their waste in rivers. Back in 2017, a state govt asked all illegal slaughterhouses to shut. It caused a meat crisis in the state! In 1 region it was revealed that out 126 slaughter houses that existed, only ONE had the valid permission to operate. Only 21 bothered to put up treatment plants!! That's why the current political party is popular in India, though Western media paints them to be villains - they get some things done that is good for country, correcting the rot of decades. Most political parties just operate like family business.

YUCK. But FYI, the main component of the toxic waste is phosphate... formely sold in the U.S. as dish or laundry detergent. Terrible for the environment, but these people aren't exactly being suicidal. In fact, the government's larger problem with the "idol dipping" is the further damage to the environment, not the harm done to the human dippers. (They leave the idols in the river to dissolve by the millions.)
Altezzoso Burton 3 years ago
I don't think these poor people should swim in laundry or dish detergent then. Regular soap sometimes dries out my hands. Think of rashes, inflammation, blindness, asthma, etc. Also, why was phosphate no longer used in U.S? Is it carcinogenic or like talcum? Also, do you know if this river has any harmful additives in it? Like 'fragrance,' a black box that can hold too much? (Not meaning to be rude or anything)
