“Approximately 20 million gallons of herbicides were used in Vietnam between 1962 and 1971 to remove unwanted plant life and leaves which otherwise provided cover for enemy forces during the Vietnam Conflict as they new their country well but using this strategy backfired as it had side effects. Shortly following their military service in Vietnam, some veterans reported a variety of health problems and concerns which some of them attributed to exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides.”
Today more than one million people suffer from serious diseases, including different types of cancer and disabilities, as a result of the spreading of defoliants and herbicides, and in particular AGENT ORANGE, which contained large amounts of DIOXIN. 200 000 children are now the third generation of victims suffering from malformations and severe defects of the immune and the nervous system.” (http://www.vietnam-dioxine.org/rendezvous_en.php). Even thirty years after the end of the war, children in Vietnam are still affected by the chemical operations carried out by the United States in order to destroy vegetation giving cover to the North Vietnamese Army.

In British English, "bollocks" is a comparable expletive, although bullshit is commonly used in British English. It is a slang profanity term meaning "nonsense", especially in a rebuking response to communication or actions viewed as deceiving, misleading, disingenuous or false. As with many expletives, the term can be used as an interjection or as many other parts of speech, and can carry a wide variety of meanings.
It can be used either as a noun or as a verb. While the word is generally used in a deprecating sense, it may imply a measure of respect for language skills, or frivolity, among various other benign usages. In philosophy, Harry Frankfurt, among others, analyzed the concept of bullshit as related to but distinct from lying.
Outside of the philosophical and discursive studies, the everyday phrase bullshit conveys a measure of dissatisfaction with something or someone, but often does not describe any role of truth in the matter.

Etymology
"Bull", meaning nonsense, dates from the 17th century,[1] while the term "bullshit" has been used as early as 1915 in American slang,[2] and came into popular usage only during World War II. The word "bull" itself may have derived from the Old French boul meaning "fraud, deceit" (Oxford English Dictionary).[2] The term "horseshit" is a near synonym. The South African English equivalent is "bull dust". Few corresponding terms exist in other languages, with the significant exception of German Bockmist, literally "billy-goat shit".
The earliest attestation mentioned by the Concise Oxford English Dictionary is in fact T. S. Eliot, who between 1910 and 1916 wrote an early poem to which he gave the title "The Triumph of Bullshit", written in the form of a ballade. The word bullshit does not
deep divide, between exploited makers and parasitic takers, is a dangerous, reductive fantasy seen through the ideological equivalent of an empty toilet-paper roll. He called people who promote it “denizens of Bullshit Mountain” and that, O’Reilly was its mayor. O’Reilly stated that in fact there is about 20 percent of the nation who truly are lazy, feel entitled to free stuff, and couldn’t care less about the consequences to others. He also said that that number was growing, and that this represents…

have scabies. As Davis clearly shows, it is a complete mockery. In scene 5, Mr. Neal says to Jimmy ‘You’re supposed to be at the quarantine camp, that’s when Jimmy says “There’s no point of the quarantine camp its bullshit”. In other words, they were told they have ‘scabies’ when in fact there were normal. Mr. Neal does not want what’s best for the natives. He only shifted the natives to another location for political reasons. Mr Neville strives to transform the ‘wejals’ to the Australian culture…
expression. They’ve given way to the era of the bottom dollar. This music industry is dominated by men. The artists, managers, and executives are all mostly males. They target other males as their primary consumers, and everything revolves around that fact. The easiest way to market a product is with Sex. Since these industry’s power players target male consumers, they use women as cheap sexual marketing tools. The music industry promotes the objectification of women because they are used to sell a product…
Lee, As this letter reaches you I pray that your situation at your job is what you want it to be and that you can move forward knowing that you have done what you’ve set out to do in correcting this situation. Now as for me right now, I am at a crossroads in my life where I need to make some crucial decisions and I am giving it much thought concerning the next phase of my life. With that said, I am emotionally DEAD. I am not sure that I want to continue to even be a mother to our daughter.…
is the extent to which our mind has an effect on our body and brain by allowing us to realize more than just the chemical reactions. The processes of Functionalism give meaning to life, emotions, actions and our surroundings through thoughts. The fact that the brain creates all we experience gives it no less meaning because, try as we might, we cannot remove our mind from the equation. The mind is created by the brain and the body but it also exists outside of us. Self exists in the same manner…
also brings up another debate of “what is the government doing about this fast spreading drug which according to our constitution is still illegal. But the truth in the matter is the government isn’t doing anything to stop the use of this drug. In fact the government is regulating the marijuana dispensers and production factories where this drug is being produced. Now some would ask the question of why doesn’t the government go through and shut it down or at least arrest the people producing it.…
How I Know I Love You I know I love you because I want to get you soup when you’re sick. Not only do I want to get it for you, I want to make it for you so you can eat something made with love instead of with crushed insects and preservatives. I know I love you because I want to slap anyone who hurts you, even if it’s your coach. I want to hold you when you’re injured and kiss the spot that hurts when you get banged up in the game. I know I love you because I want you to be healthy even when you’re…
lies, should not be encouraged as they destroy trust, the binding force in all relationships. One particularly troublesome kind of lie is known as Bullshit (BS). These are unnecessary deceptions, committed in the gray area between polite white lies and complete malicious fabrications. BS is usually defined as inventions made in ignorance of the facts, where the primary goal is to protect oneself. The aim of BS isn’t to harm another person, although that often happens collaterally. For a variety of…
brand. After asking some students at Miami University Hamilton’s campus, it was pretty easy to see their opinion on this topic. “I’m kind of upset about this,” said Michaela Durst a freshman at Hamilton. “We are supposed to be all Miami so the fact that we might be distancing ourselves from everyone is kind of sad to see that we are not going to be a whole I guess you can say. They should…
