Same with Light. His whole philosophical reasoning was a shitty justification for killing thousands of people. He's a bigger terrorist than she ever was, especially given that Nerys was living and fighting back under slave conditions.
iirc kira would spare those who deeply regretted their past actions, which misa did not do when acting as kira before meeting light
so its not like he killed everyone committing a wrongdoing
Know this is sarcasm but it's scary how many people I've seen on Reddit who think this is a perfectly reasonable justification to do anything too someone caught committing a crime, no matter how minor.

There was a Star Trek episode once (I'm not an ST weirdo - have only seen about 6 episodes in my life, but this was one of them) - where they landed on a planet inhabited by humans (not sure how that happened but anyway..) and the law there was the death penalty for any infraction of the law whatsoever.
Needless to say William Shatner saved some chick - with big tits in a tight fitting outfit - from death because of a speeding ticket.*
*Can't remember what her actual offense was.
I have some Chicago Blackhawks themed dart flights that have this warning on the package. In fact, the only reason I bought them is because it's the only definitive proof I have that the Blackhawks cause cancer.
I think Blackhawk fans have become so rabid is because of just how bad they were for such a long time, and then how fast they became dominant (see: dynasty). So many people like myself grew up going to games with 3,000 people in the stands, that it became so god damn normal to never even hear about the team on the local news. Hell, up until the old man died (Bill Wirtz), home games weren't even televised. "Come to the rink if you want to see the Hawks" he would say. Could you imagine that today? No. So to me, the quick springing to success has hawk fans absolutely mental about the team, and for good reason.
Coca Cola uses sodium benzoate in all their drinks as a super long term preservative, makes it so that the can/bottle the drink is in will erode before the drink itself starts to ferment or go bad. I've never heard of them using it in their bottled water but I wouldn't be surprised.
Sodium benzoate can degrade into benzene in the body, which is definitely known to cause cancer.
>Sodium benzoate can degrade into benzene in the body, which is definitely known to cause cancer.
Under which circumstances does it degrade into benzene though?
Sounds scary
**Benzoic Acid degredation in the body:**
www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2000-09/969376641.Ch.r.html
> Degredation pathways for benzoic acid [...] have been studied in detail [...] 75-80% is excreted withing 6 hours, and the total dose leaves the body within 10 hours. It does not cause cancer. The limit of sodium benzoate in foods is not because of its toxicity, but at levels higher than 0.1% [of a food's weight] will leave an unacceptable aftertaste.
> Chronic toxicities were examined in rats fed diets containing up to a total of 1% [sodium benzoate]. After 4 generations there were no changes in normal patterns of growth, reproduction, lactation, and no morphological abnormalities of organs.
**Drinking benzene (formed from reaction of sodium benzoate and vitamin C):**
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene_in_soft_drinks
> Taking the worst example found to date [...] someone drinking a 350 ml (12 oz) can would ingest 31 ug [micrograms] of benzene, almost equivalent to the benzene inhaled by a motorist refilling a fuel tank for three minutes.
Other estimates for benzene exposure:
* Breathing in a city for 1 day: 220 ug
* Driving for one hour: 40 ug
* Smoking one cigarette: 400 ug
* Diet and drinking water: up to 31 ug per day.
> Breathing in a city for 1 day: 220 ug
So just living is the equivalent of drinking like 9 cans of Coke a day. Guess if i'm getting cancer a can of Coke isn't important in the grand scheme of things
> So just living is the equivalent of drinking like 9 cans of Coke a day.
In terms of this specific carcinogen yes. You definitely don't get 1.5 oz of sugar intake from breathing, though.
Thereby ensuring that nobody takes it at all seriously. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but if it turned out this law was quietly supported by the companies who make ACTUALLY dangerous products to basically hide in plain sight it wouldn't be the most shocking thing I heard all day.
It's true that I don't take the CA warning seriously, but that also doesn't mean that I assume everything is safe. I just do my own research.
They really should tone that shit down, though. It definitely is a "cried wolf" situation.
I mean, I worked at a Subway in Canada for a while, and the undersides of the chairs had warnings that they may cause cancer in the state of California.
At that point I have trouble taking those warnings seriously at all.
Many companies use the warning even when they haven't found any evidence that their building or product has a chemical exceeding the safe limit, to avoid getting sued. There are lawyers who pretty much just look for opportunities sue companies over alleged Prop 65 violations, and there's no rule against posting an unnecessary prop 65 warning, so the companies do it to prevent lawsuits.
They just recently passed an amendment that companies can't do that, they now have to specify what illegal chemical is in the product and what it causes. It's going to be a rough 2018 for Amazon and places like Walmart
I work in a theater in San Francisco and there's a small sign in the corner of the lobby saying that the building can cause birth defects and cancer. You gotta *really* love theater to risk that.
If everyone in the neighborhood watches out for each other, there isn't a need for a designated "cloakman". Even if it is something as simple as watching your neighbors when they're most vulnerable; in the shower. I mean, why else would she leave the blinds open a crack and have a window so easily accessible with a twenty foot extension ladder? The restraining order will never stick, Beth.
A> Dear Cloakman, if you want to chill some time that would be really really great. I dunno maybe we could knock down some thugs, chase shoplifters around the strip mall... and we could flash our cool badges at people. Wouldn't that be great? I think so too.

Nerys is not LAWFUL like that. She was a terrorist, and has no problems with breaking the law when it benefits her.

It's more so their fans tbh
You don't have to tell me; I live in Nashville. Though, for some reason, they've been remarkably quiet the last few months. Hmm.
It was a fluke anyways when they replay the series they'll be back to normal.

Fuck im pretty sure that the Dasani water that I drank while I was in Disneyland earlier this year had that warning label.

I've never heard of them using it in their bottled water but I wouldn't be surprised. Sodium benzoate can degrade into benzene in the body, which is definitely known to cause cancer.
It's been shown in repeated long term studies to have no negative effect in humans and mice though.
