C/D: Dumping chemicals in your water supply so drunk people can enjoy looking at green water on St. Patrick's Day

omg even the herrings are gone a funny fuckin colour stop the lights

poliopolice = modestmickey??????

This is a red herring. Fluoride is put into treated water, not dumped indiscriminately into an untreated water supply.

Does treatment of sewage and wastewater remove fluoride? Are you saying that all fluoride put into treated, drinkable water is either metabolized by people or removed from wastewater?

What I meant by the fact it's a huge body of water is that there is the tiniest, tiniest fraction of green food coloring in the water. Which is, to our knowledge, completely nontoxic.

How about you read up about fertilizers spread inefficiently on frozen fields, pesticides, poor use of natural watersheds as filtering agents due to the draining of wetlands, and the wholesale sewage and toxic waste that gets into the watershed, and then tackle a stupid cosmetic trick that uses the tiniest amount of food coloring later?

Dumping one human corpse into the lake, which the mob probably has done a zillion times, would put more pollutants in the lake than a few gallons of food coloring

we should use radioactive isotopes to trace groundwater, people can't see them because they don't look all green, so no worries

CHICAGO, IL - MARCH 16: A man dressed as a leprechaun entertains the crowd on a water propelled Flyboard while workers dye the Chicago River green to kick off the city's St. Patrick's day celebration on March 16, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois. The dying of the river has been a tradition in the city for 43 years. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

sigh.

More like AWESOME.

I didn't even know we had flyboard technology. 2015 might not be a bust after all.

I want a water propelled flyboard for my birthday.

I don't know how anyone can look at that picture and not believe we've succeeded at.... something

Yes!!

I have now used that picture in an argument claiming that the bible is worthless as a source of guidance because it in no way tells humanity how to react to such a thing

Mark 6, 49-50
49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

Sorry, mh. You'll have to try again.

man, he's a preacher's kid, he should have called me out on this shit

That dusty springfield's full of shit

almost time to revisit this retarded annual ritual. Reading over this thread, I'm kind of floored at how many people are defending needlessly dumping dye into our precious water supply because "it's not the worst thing we could be doing" and how apparently it's ok because there's pollution occurring elsewhere in the world. Holy shit, no wonder this world is fucked.

I'm great itt

you had a year to find some harm for yr argument how did you get on

No one is asking you to swim in the fluorescein. On shore you should be safe from nausea, vomiting, hives, acute hypotension, anaphylaxis and related anaphylactoid reaction, cardiac arrest and sudden death due to anaphylactic shock.

Oh my god stop saying "retarded" you bozo.

It is a fucking repulsive, dehumanising word and people should think about not using it any more or if not just fucking off and dying.

Oh man I hope I see that leprechaun flying on the waterboard his year!!!

Doesn't surprise me that that such a garbage poster is a fan of the "r" word.

Boring, with a shit taste in music, with nothing interesting to say and quelle surprise, he is also a complete worthless fucking tool.

judging people based on what words they choose to use is awesome

you are a better person than he/she, so much more enlightened. mom must be proud.

if immaturity were a crime, we'd all be ex-cons

ex-con is such a horrible dehumanizing word you worthless fucking tool

all in favor of dumping poliopolice in the river

Stick him inside an iron lung first!

The tradition started when parade organizer Steve Bailey, head of a plumbers' union, noticed how a dye used to detect river pollution had stained a colleague's overalls a brilliant green

poliopolice is ok (although neither of those things is) and everyone should have a good time dyeing rivers amazing colors

judging people based on what words they choose to use is awesome

it is, actually! it's usually really helpful in determining whether to pay attention to them or not. like people who use slurs, for instance. or like me, for instance, who can't make a coherent sentence for shit.

poliopolice's staunch dedication to this issue should inspire us. here we are with St. Patrick's day still weeks away, a moment when most of us remain blithely inattentive to the coming horrors that are peeping at us from just over the horizon of time.

but not poliopolice, he is johnny on the spot, ready once again to take up the cudgels and batter away at his sworn foe for as long as it takes to beat it into the earth for another year. I have no doubt that we may look forward to many similar revivals of this lonely crusade, heedless of the odds, intent only upon the victory he alone believes will be his reward. it kind of makes my heart swell to contemplate it.

how do u feel about the irish in general poliopolice

t/s, putting vegetable dye in the water supply or using the word "retarded" as a term of abuse

sorry, i see my compatriots have covered this ish, i'll just fp and be on my way office

Crucial snapshot of yesterday: http://www.cwbchicago.com/2015/03/yuck-of-irish-wrigleyville-binge-spawns.html

(Start with the timeline.)

Wrigleyville has been a complete shitshow when I was there early in the night on a random weekend, I can only imagine the hell on earth that descends on St. Patrick's Day

c

didn't go north of 14th Street in NYC, but i don't get the green Mardi Gras beads shit; poor repurposing.

Did see a guy in a green t shirt pissing next to a real-estate office basement in the West Village, so the holiday was official.
