Yes, and science was right about all those things (well, except the cigarettes, which is fake)

But liberal anti-science bullshit (read up on "silent spring" for example, a book that caused the banning of DDT, costing tens of millions of deaths) banned them.

Bad example OP. Learn a bit before spreading bullshit.

I'd rather use low doses of heroin for pain than many of the opiates prescribed nowadays.

In this house, we believe SCIENCE, you inbred, illiterate redneck trash. I hope all your children get diseases (virtually eliminated in the West) and die. That will teach you to be compassionate and tolerant like me. Love trumps hate.

You forgot "just". Just wear the mask!

And it needs to be in an effeminate male voice.

I love the smell of 5G in the morning.

The cigarette one is from a video game. Stop spreading this. It makes you look stupid. There are plenty of cigarette ads you could use. Just look up “t zone” and how doctors recommend certain brands over others.

Conspirologist

Can you link to the original from VG?

wipeyournose

never played the game. saw someone else say it. but i'm older than you and it's common knowledge that "Nicotime cigarettes" are not a product that ever existied. you're stupid

Sheitstrom

"Nico Time" Cigarettes for pregnant women is an advertising gag from the videogame BioShock.

Conspirologist

Do you mean it's fake, or just a coincidence?

Propaganda

That ad is an "art imitates life" type of thing. It's a fictional ad for a fictional video game. However, these types of ads did exist in the 50s, just not this specific Nico Time ad. The point would be a lot stronger if the Nico Time ad was replaced with a Camels ad from the 50s or other big cigerette brand

Sheitstrom

Nico Time cigarettes were not sold in stores. They are not real. The only place you can find Nico Time cigarettes is in the BioShock videogame.

Conspirologist

How did you find it?

HankRHill

you don't have to go back far at all for talcum powder

prairie

Not the talc itself but contaminants. And not necessarily even harmful, just a target for a lawsuit.

Steinmacher

Do a little research on DDT ans asbestos...

everlastingphelps

DDT saved millions of lives from malaria. DDT could easily prevent virtually all West Nile spread. What's the cost? None.

The study linking DDT to thinner condor eggs was bullshit. It's all been propaganda.

Heroin is a similar deal. Doctors would prescribe heroin to alcoholics. Why? Because an alcoholic goes out, spends his whole paycheck getting drunk, drives home drunk, and then beats the shit out of his wife and kids. Put him on heroin, and he just goes home and nods in front of the radio. But, since some people might have enjoyed themselves on heroin, it had to be outlawed.

UKD

I agree.

I took a college course on 20th Century History, and they taught that one of the main takeaways to remember for the final exam was that Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring, and the book exposed that DDT kills eagle eggs. They considered that information to be one of the most important historical events in the last century!

Even oranges?

Conspiracy

So nobody's gone the "DDT is safe" rabbit hole?

Mr_Wolf

where does that lead?

HarlandKornfeld14

Basically that DDT is banned so that mosquito-borne illness cause die-offs in the Third World as some population control scheme. That it keeps them dependent on Western aid and big pharma to deal with the mosquito-borne illness problem. At least from the version I've heard.

Sympozium

Wrong wrong wrong. DDT was banned because it causes cancer. This is well known today, but wasnt then. Corporations hate you, yes, but they dont want you dead. They want you a rootless, mindless, race-mixed consumer, but if you're dead you dont make (((them))) any money.

Also, third world population control? I wish. If it wasnt for the hundreds of billions in aid that the west pushes into shithole countries, they wouldnt breed like cockroaches. It's literally the opposite of what you just said, thats going on.

The third world is dependant on the lifesupport that we provide them.

Dishsoap

cancer

That's not the reason we were all told that DDT needed to be banned. It was all about those poor little birdies.

Also, well known to who? That sounds like a copout. "Well duh, everyone knows that ." Support your claim.

Besides, everything apparently seems to cause cancer these days. California says that new-car smell and coffee beans can cause cancer (see prop. 65). Grilled meat is supposedly carcinogenic. www(dot)cedars-sinai(dot)org/blog/grilling-cancer-risk(dot)html

I'm not particularly impressed with claims that something "causes cancer."

ImmaLueserBaby

Interesting. So Silent Spring is just a cover?

Helena73

I think you are correct. Targeted use of DDT would probably save millions of africans, maybe some indians and s.e. Asians.

KnifesEdge

I always assumed all of these things were safe to use properly but a jew lawyer will sniff out a lawsuit anywhere they can.

Elcycs

Some asbestos too.

Edit: and heroin isn't at all bad if used properly.
