0:33 is this is the "REAL" mark of the BEAST? count the sides of the hexagons in the middle they = 666 it's a genetic contaminant! The aliens that woke me during a medical exam a few years back said they were looking for signs of tampering under my skin, they had a handheld device that could see through all muscles & tissues and isolate different parts so only vascular or nerve system could be seen & diagnosed, as they woke me, they were saying over & over do not be afraid, we are your friends.

First off, boycotting Dow products is next to impossible. They make the materials for probably 50-80 percent of everything you use everyday. Dow branded products are few, but you can bet if you look around you, there is Dow's chemicals in most of the stuff around you. Maybe it was even used to insulate your home. Most every chemical company has done wrong / illegal things. Not just Dow. I hate it when people point fingers and don't know the first f**cking thing about what they are talking about

@Flamin362 I completely agree in fact. Most of the scientists who work at DOW at the higher levels do what they do for the sake of scientific advancement and exploration, the CEO's for the profit, and the workers as a job, each has their own individual goals, but none of them are truly criminals. What's criminal, and the people who are criminal are those who use the chemicals or abuse them leading to these consequences... However, people love black and white gray is too difficult to examine...

If you're gonna hate chemical companies because of the pollution and waste, better look at yourself on how much formulations/chemicals you use each day (and don't use them if you hate them so much!). Shampoo, soap, makeup, processed food, medicine, gadgets, clean water. Chemistry is more attached to you than you think. I am totally for corporate social responsibility, safety, regular factory checks and accident prevention. I just hate it when people hate so much, without adequate perspective.

@nosirrom5 Absolutely. But that would have cost Dow a few cents. This is the real reason that Dow is criminally liable is that they were hired by the U.S. to make Agent Orange-- but they did it quick and cheap because they did not care about Vietnamese life. Sadly, they also killed American soldiers are causing children of Vets and Vietnamese horrible suffering as well. Dow made a lot of money from their murderous indifference-- they have to clean up Vietnam "hot spots" and provide hospitals.

@Flamin362 Dow was hired to make Agent Orange. Not Agent Orange with dioxin. The dioxin was easy to remove in the production process, but Dow decided to take shortcuts in the manufacture so they could save a few cents-- they did not care about the Vietnamese people and figured they would never get in trouble. Well, they didn't figure on the American vets suing their greedy, murderous asses! Dow also tried to cover up evidence of dioxin to keep from being sued-- and still are. Why hide?

Eric Stringer commented on 16 Oct 2010

Who asked DOW to make most of these chemicals and also who then used them and for what purpose? Government? While sometimes people with the goal to help people, make things not because they want people to become sick from them but help them... Then later find the Drug, Chemical did something worst. And there are times when people know they are putting out a bad product, and try to cover it up. I sure there have been a mixture of these over the years from DOW, along with the good things

Jonathan Lund commented on 15 Aug 2009

I'm sorry but your answer is stupid. No it's not like some unknowing knife manufacturer being responsible for some random murder. It would be more like a guy coming up to me and saying he wants to murder his wife so I make and sell him a knife. I am partly responsible for that right? Dow knew what that shit was to be used for; a knife has many uses, AO has one. It's called a government contract, they knew damn well what it was being used for. You want to defend them for Bhopal too?

Hell is also in Vietnam where the survivors of Dow's profits from Agent Orange suffer every day. Dow knew that the Agent Orange being sold contained dangerous amounts of dioxin, a HUMAN poison. Dow cared more about profits than... Vietnamese people... 30 years later, Dow hasn't given 1 penny of ill-gotten profits to overflowing orphanages filled with child victims in Vietnam... How can some people profit so much off of the suffering of so many others? Thank you, Jake.

@frenchne can we consider something that's not uh, fifty years old?? Do you drink coffee? What about Krups which was a Nazi company, or Mercedes Benz, for that matter?? Those people who worked on that stuff, are all dead or retired. It's easy to emotionally react in a knee jerk way. Where's your realistic solution to fix the problems you see? Is there a special place reserved in hell for people who dont try to participate in the solution? for your sake, I hope not...

toogoodius commented on 06 May 2010

Dear Flamin362, no Dow did not spray the Agent Orange but they are hardly innocents. Did you know that Dow are legally liable for the mess that Union Carbide left in Bhopal, India? The drinking water, of thousands of poor people, is contaminated with highly toxic chemicals which have been proven to come from the abandoned Union Carbide factory and despite their legal liability Dow choose not to act. I would be very happy to clarify these points if you need it.

Neil French commented on 17 May 2011

Right at the bottom of this string, a couple of years ago, ewholley asked what I thought about Krups Coffee...the company being of Nazi origin. No they're not. That was Krupps. Check your facts before you libel someone. Dow are spending fortunes on lawyers, to avoid the need to pay anything to the Bhopalis. That is a fact. Why are they doing this? Because to admit guilt would commit them to pay again, next time they do something noticeably evil.

@peter17dude Ive worked at Dow and they take safety very seriously, In fact the "close calls" we did have were usually from some knucklehead who didnt follow procedures, which were stressed to the point of exhaustion. Just there to make a paycheck not worried about others' safety. And no I'm not a brainwashed employee, I was only contracted there for a few months. Of all the plants I have worked in Dow was the most stringent on safety.

cybergrace7 commented on 10 Aug 2008

Tens of thousands of children are born each year, THIS YEAR, due to chemicals made by Dow Chemical and their subsidiaries. Dow Chemical has the responsibility to clean up the hotspots they created in Vietnam. They have made billions of dollars in profits off of this CONTINUED suffering. Dow MUST also build orphanages for those so disabled they cannot care for themselves. Dow's profits are much larger than the budget of little Vietnam.

mpdivo commented on 06 Feb 2010

you're better off working with organizations like "Responsible Care" rather than artsy youtube videos. Pretty sure that 99.99% of everyone that views this will continue to use Dow products. Why not show some photos from the Civil War or some other war that has nothing to do with your viewers? Perhaps some etchings of the War of 1812 to drive your point home that Dow is a big bad company out to harm humans.

cybergrace7 commented on 28 Jul 2008

Dow Chemical made millions of dollars selling dioxin-poisoned agent orange & other herbicides during the Vietnam War. Dow Chemical did not take out dioxin, a human poison, out of their herbicides, so they could make more profits. Your grandfather passed down these profits to you. Your ill-gotten profits, and your damnations, are on your soul. Millions suffer while you enjoy the profits. WWJD?
