Indians React to Top 10 Legal Things You Can Do In America That Are Banned In Other Countries

[@DrD0000M]

Don't know the specifics of BHT, etc. But in general, when you hear some chemical "causes cancer in mice or rats", keep in mind that during testing, they often feed these animals 10, 100, 1000 times the amount any sane human would be eating until they get a result. So yeah, might be dangerous or might only be dangerous if you eat an impossibly large amount every day. Lot of flawed studies out there contributing to "chemophobia" hysteria. And you can list all the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, how many people it kills each year and people will be outraged that it's legal until you tell them dihydrogen monoxide is just water. Chemical names sound extra scary.

Turning right on red is just plain common sense.

[@ChristaFree]

Unless you drive on the left side of the road.

[@erosgritti5171]

Hmm... common sense is when it is considered right by most people. So how can something that is right by only 350 million people be "common sense" against the remaining 9 billion?

[@josephkrizauskas1052]

@@erosgritti5171 You want to save gas and emissions, don't you? Isn't that common sense?

[@ChristaFree]

@erosgritti5171 because any reasonably educated person knows that turning right on red when you duce on the right side of the road doesn't cause any traffic problems but instead alleviates them.

​@@ChristaFreeIn my town, if you are on a 1 way street, and you come to an intersection of another 1 way going right to left, you can actually turn left on red from the left lane.

[@Objectified]

Many other countries allow right on red, or left on red either universally or under certain conditions. U.S., Canada, Mexico, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and several others where signage or signals permit.

I agree, the babywalker hinders mobile function but restricts reach, pick your poison type deal

[@forgetful47]

i chose the poison walker for my daughter and she has the strongest baby legs ive ever seen, and was walking before her first birthday. Shes 2 now and she runs like a track star. So it depends

[@ChristaFree]

Our constitution is designed to limit the government not the people. When you turn right on red you're not crossing traffic.

The ban on single-use plastic bags had a number of negative unintended consequences. While single-use plastic bag bans address critical environmental issues like litter and wildlife harm, they have also introduced new problems. Paper bags, for example, are biodegradable but require significantly more energy, water, and resources to produce than plastic bags, leading to higher carbon emissions. Reusable bags also often have a higher environmental footprint due to the materials and energy required for production (e.g., cotton, polypropylene). A number of studies have demonstrated that in order to offset the environmental costs of their production they must be reused far, far more often than most consumers will ever achieve before the bag begins to wear out, becomes damaged, is lost, or is otherwise replaced by a new one, starting the cycle over again. Reusable bags can also harbor and transfer mold and bacteria if not properly cleaned on a routine basis. And, as the video mentioned, many of the bans incentivized consumer demand to increase for heavier-duty single-user plastic bags for things such as pet waste. These bags a significantly higher environmental cost both in terms of production and disposal.

The U.S. wasn't "left behind" on incadescent bulbs. We're awash in LED and to a lesser degree CFL bulbs. Inexpensive LED bulbs dominate everywhere lightbulbs are sold, and in many stores they're not even kept in stock.

Wonder if the batman restriction is not about the superhero, but John Batman, lot of places named after him there: "John Batman (21 January 1801 - 6 May 1839) was an Australian grazier, entrepreneur and explorer, who had a prominent role in the founding of Melbourne. Born and raised in the then-British colony of New South Wales, Batman settled in Van Diemen's Land (modern-day Tasmania) in the 1820s, where he rose to prominence for hunting bushrangers and leading massacres of Aboriginal people in the Black War.

Ketchup is so lame. How the hell did ketchup become the default condiment? It's not that I hate it, it's fine, it's just that, there's nothing that ketchup can do that either barbecue sauce or salsa can't do better. Why would anybody use ketchup if barbecue sauce or salsa is available? Hell, even mustard is better than ketchup!

[@brandonflorida1092]

I guess the freedom to publicly express any opinion whatever wasn't important enough to mention.
