It is impossible to be accepted with truthful testimony by those who believe lies.

Only love can drive out hate, but love is conveyed by a personal connection, and a personal connection is nearly impossible to find on a message board.  So if you let hate get a foothold in internet message board land, nothing will drive it out unless you leave or they leave.

Polyethylene does not leech toxins into groundwater.

Mish mashed philosophical absolutes are an annoyance. 

The first statement is nonsense. A good salesman can sell KIAs as well as Bentleys and satisfy the customer in both instances.

The second statement is plain old dumb. Just because you have the truth sometimes doesn't mean you always have it. Just because a man believes one lie doesn't mean he believes all lies. 

The third statement is bland naivete. Hatred of evil can drive out evil, and you can use 7.62mm to eliminate it.

The last statement is not a fact, I read several studies of pollution in a public health class a few years ago that demonstrate the presence of microplastics (as part of a larger pool of contaminants) in groundwater around the USA. 3 minutes of the goggles gets a study from last year that found them in aquifers in Illinois. The question of harm from these contaminants at their current concentration is undetermined, but their toxicity to humans and the environment along with their presence in the source of roughly 25% of our drinking water is not.

Thank you for the reply.

A Kia is not a "bad" car.  It goes, and it's safe.  I deliver clients Kia type projects and Audi type projects.  What I try to avoid are clients who want to do the impossible, or want to endanger human health and safety.  To the extent I deliver to them, they get something they didn't initially want, and I have to risk them leaving me unsatisfied.

The second statement is obviously implying that the lie and the truth are on the same topic.

The third statement is a famous quote from MLK Jr, so take that up with him.

Microplastics can be found everywhere, yes.  They enter the body.  They also leave it.  Seriously, you never see alarmist articles about these kinds of things in human waste.  If the level in water and food is similar to the level in excrement, it's hard to see the harm. They are inert until proven otherwise.
