from the water?-like-out-the-toilet? dept.

Since water is a key ingredient in beer, it being mostly water, polluted water threatens beer quality.

Thursday a group of 59 craft breweries sent a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opposing the agencies' "Dirty Water Rule" proposal to slash clean water protections for waterways around the country.

These brewers, who are partners in NRDC's Brewers for Clean Water campaign, are standing up for safeguards that protect the sources of clean water on which their businesses depend.

    Trolling people over shit like this isn't some super clever thing to do, you know that right? You're basically asking people to figure out just how much of an idiot you are. "Is it a serious statement they made? Cause it sounds pretty stupid so hopefully it is just trolling."

    While it would be wonderful if that logic worked, sadly there are lots of idiots who might say stupid shit like "boil the water to purify". They heard their grandpappy give them such advice and never bothered to think beyond that! The same reason so many Southerners want to say n***** all the time. Their elders surely weren't complete fucking morons right? RIGHT?

    Trolling can be fun, but when done maliciously it is just plain stupid. No one can magically KNOW you aren't an idiot, and given the preponderance of uneducated people in the US it is safer to assume that yes, you are an idiot.

    Have fun trolling you fuckwads.

    And apparently, they're just not very good at it, huh?
