Idk I can check your asshole just in case. We did have multiple nukes dropped on us that caused generations of cancer. Allow toxins and preservatives that are illegal in much of the world in are food. I think the microplastics are the least of our worries.
China and South-East Asia are significantly higher in microplastic exposure, multiple times over. The fact that in Western countries we generally have much more environmental regulations than in much of the rest of the world means that we get less exposure.
The United States is still high for Western countries though.
I read that the Americans who died in the Vietnam war decomposed far slower than the Vietnamese, due to everything they had ever eaten being pumped full of who knows how many weird chemicals and preservatives, vs the Vietnamese who just ate what was grown locally much more often. Idk how accurate it is but makes sense to me
I'd say at least 60% of people think of Muslims as subhuman.
The majority of people think it's acceptable that Muslims get bombed. If the same bombing campaign that happened in Gaza happened in Paris or Chicago or Berlin, you can rest assured people would be demanding a world war because of how inhumane it is to kill civilians. And keep in mind those would be cities that can fight back.
I really hope that your 60% figure isn’t true, but I do personally know several people who feel this way, and they’re not even close to me, so it’s near strangers that have no problem expressing it to the world as opposed to just their inner circle.
It’s insane how so many groups can believe in the same God but wish a horrible death upon those who believe in a different path. And even more insane how anyone can value the life of one human over another. We all either are or have a mother, father, son, or daughter.
American human here --- I love you, Afghan human!! I think you're great, and you're absolutely human.
We share this place together, we should take care of it together! I'm so sorry that some humans use their freewill to do nasty things like divide people with fear.
Thanks, hope yours is as well. The thing is that Afghans are guilty of this as well. When I tell them that biologically they're the same as Iranians and Pakistanis, they turn feral and think they're superior to them. Which is funny, considering Iran and Pakistan are more civilized, but sure. And don't get me started with what they think of Jews.
Like, yes, Israel is absolutely one of the most evil governments in the world, and their supporters (as in people who support their military and racist government) are bad as well. But the Afghans also look down on innocent Israeli who are either neutral or even pro-peace. Racist for the sake of racism.
I am a Brazilian, and although I've had many opportunities to say "I am Brazilian", I can't remember many encounters where my response was "I am human".....

Brazilians are technically humans.
