Dihydrogen is a chemical compound which is found in many stuff which we eat and drink. Despite this fact, there are some unsettling facts about this chemical:

can be responsible for headaches

consuming enough of the substance may cause health issues due to low levels of sodium in the blood

it has been responsible for killing ten Americans a day

Despite overwhelming evidence of the dangers, hardly anyone has done anything about it.
 
So either the OP is too stupid to know that he's talking about water or he's setting up for a commentary on gun control. No bites, hawky.
 
This joke is older than god.

Yeah we might have seen it already in one of the dozen of partisan fail threads you start then abandon every day.

You probably signed a petition against H2O.
 
Dihydrogen monoxide (DM) is generally odorless and blandly flavored, but it doesn't bother me, and I'm certain that it's a beneficial compound, so, no, we should not ban it. For example:
-- If I go to my backyard garden and harvest some veggies/fruits, will there be DM in them?
-- If I visit an organic farm and purchase a side of beef, a pig, turkey, chicken, etc., will there be DM in them?
-- If I toss a fishing line into the Chesapeake Bay, ocean or some other natural body of water and harvest fish/shellfish, will there be DM in them?
The answer to all those questions is, of course, yes, and after 60 years of consuming it, it's never done me any harm, so no, we should not ban DM.

We should, however, remove certain carriers of dihydrogen monoxide, most notably Te Lang Pu, from places of prominence in culture, government and politics. Indeed, on a day to day basis, carriers of DM pose a greater threat than does DM.

Didn't Penn and Teller pull this same trick on Bull****?

Having people sign a petition to get the "substance" banned and rattling off those same points in the OP.
 
100% of people whom drink Dihydrogen Monoxide die later in life.
 
YES, beer is so much better.
FINALLY!

I'm a member of a Dihydrogen Monoxide Awareness group on FB, you can't trick me with your thinly veiled word-trap.
