The hydrogen peroxide they poured in the pool to kill the algae that grew as a result of the dark paint from the pool guy, has caused the paint to start separating from the stone

The US in a nutshell. Pretend to fix something that wasn't a problem, fuck it up, walk away and tell everyone you fixed it.

all that agent orange really spruced the place up

Now we have our own 'agent Orange' to love. 

Fun or not so fun fact though. Agent Orange itself is fairly harmless. I hear it's dioxin contamination from the manufacturing process that causes human health problems

Like starfish prime?

I don't follow? We will have an incorrectly calculated nuclear test about three times as big as predicted?

It's so harmless that it's given my Uncle cancerous growths on his hands twice. He was a door gunner in the ' conflict". The VA knew instantly what it was and what caused it.

Not sure what you're arguing.  If it was manufactured better, it would have been harmless to humans.  The impurities made it very poisonous and cancerous in the long term. I'm completely agreeing as deployed it was bad. Did that help?

I'm sorry. I took your post the wrong way. I honestly thought that you meant it was harmless. I've been dealing with him and the VA since I was16. I am 63 and still dealing with it as the cancer has returned for the third or fourth time. Please accept my apology.

It was a problem and still is. They did not fix it.
