It's funny because endocrine-disputing chemicals dumped by humans really are messing frogs up quite badly, but now you can't bring it up without people getting the wrong idea about your political views...

I was listening to radio the other week when they were talking about companies dumping chemicals into British rivers. The effects that they were talking about sounded awfully familiar to anyone who has ever heard Alex Jones open his mouth.

They're actually putting chemicals in the water that's turning the frogs gay! (kinda...amongst other things)

You know you've fucked up when you're making Alex Jones sound sane.
- the thing is , what you're trying to imply the bad part is.
  
  "They're putting chemicals into the water" > this should stop because it's pollution being done as a cost cutting measure.
  
  or
  
  "The frogs are turning gay" > being gay is bad, that's why we should stop people trying to make things gay on purpouse to stop homosexuality.
  
  The top one is sensible, the bottom one is psychotic
- But that's how Alex Jones scam works, he read the frogs gay headline and then started ranting about how the global elite are trying to destroy masculinity with hormones in the water because only real men vote right...
and its not the government doing it either.

I find it funny because you'd think if the right wing is worried about chemical's effects, that they'd be leading the charge to ban and restrict use of chemicals.

But they're all free market, let the companies do whatever they want, government regulation gets in the way. It makes no sense.

See you don't understand, when the government does it it's bad but when companies do it it's the free market at work and you shouldn't interfere.

- Except when companies do it in a gay way, then it’s against the constitution

As a European, I just can no longer follow the political discourse in the States. Whether in the form of memes or news - you can't be serious.

This from over a decade ago...
- I know. But since then it has only become more ridiculous.
  
  Edit: I can't tell the difference between Alex Jones and Donald Trump. The only difference I can see is that one still is somewhat in business and one is your candidate for the next presidential election. And to me it seems like they are both in the same business.
Do you think Europe doesn't have pollution in agricultural run off?

It's so difficult trying to get peopl here in non-america to care about real problems when everyone is under the impression america is the only place with problems.
- In Germany, my home country, and also in the EU, there are of course also numerous problems - as in other parts of the world.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound primarily used in the manufacturing of various plastics...

... The health effects of BPA have been the subject of prolonged public and scientific debate. BPA is a xenoestrogen, exhibiting hormone-like properties that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-disrupting chemical used in food packaging, is present in almost all Europeans’ bodies, posing a potential health risk.

A recent Horizon 2020 research initiative, HBM4EU, measured chemicals in people’s bodies in Europe and detected BPA in the urine of 92% of adult participants from 11 European countries.

The Copenhagen-based EEA said the share of adults exceeding the recommended maximum levels ranged from 71 to 100% in the 11 countries studied, referring to levels outlined by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in an April review.

I'll just leave this for you to read further on this. https://www.google.com/search?q=bisphenol+a+european

If you want to debate this you are accused of being [buzzword]fobic or a [buzzword]ist.

I'd ague that BPA is the least of our worries as far as contaminants are concerned
- Yes. But in relation to the meme it seemed relevant.

That absolutely isn’t why people call Alex Jones (what I’m assuming you self censored here) homophobic and sexist, lol.
- I don't understand what point you're trying to make by throwing some random guy's name into the conversation.
