This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You're using your personal experiences to validate a broad generalization regarding the effects of air pollution on rates of lung cancer for the population of an entire country; this is wrong. Your sample size is one and your argument is "I felt the fumes in my throat more when cycling then compared to when I was in a car; therefore it must be cancer". I appreciate that you actually had somewhat of a baseline, but your self experiment essentially tells you that exhaust fumes hurt your throat [full stop].
