I was alive to experience that yes. I’m willing to concede we’re all terrorists further emphasizing the ridiculousness of the word. And thanks for patronizing me! Do you recall what we had done to them in their countries?
It’s supposed to be it tends to get brittle and fracture creating airborne shards that you can breath in but your body can’t break down and that continuously damages the cells leading to cancer.
Seriously, except for the horrific issues with the stuff, it would be an essential material for various applications.
Its resistance to fire, heat transfer, etc would do wonders for insulation and construction.
Makes me wonder if it could be treated in some way to make it not-so-inhalable. Though maybe we have better synthetic alternatives by now.
As I’ve understood it, the problem is primarily for the people having to manufacture products using it, and at rest it’s supposed to be inert.
Except that people don’t always recognize it and end up drilling holes in it or sawing through it
This is probably how I’ll die tbh
Don’t forget about when it’s time to un-make it.
Tearing down old building or tiles containing asbestos is also a huge issue.
So many people were exposed to asbestos dust in New York when the world trade centre towers were destroyed by terrorists
Yep. Probably like 40,000 people.
lol terrorists. I see them as victims in a war this country started. So by proxy, we’re the terrorists. What a stupid fucking word!
I’m calling them by their methods not their politics
One is a terrorist when one attempts to alter a country by attacks attempting to terrorise the population
You do recall that they destroyed office buildings with airliners

Saudi Arabia? That’s where most of them came from.
I agree that the West fucked up the Middle East ( though the Soviets didn’t help either).
If you kill several thousand people to make a point you’re a terrorist.
The end.
So like the country of Israel?
