Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not for posioning ourselves and this is in fact just that, poison.

However I had a rather long debate with my 65+ year old dentist about this. He was in the army, traveled the world, as a dentist, yadda yadda. Saw all sorts of teeth to say the least.

There is a reason why our teeth are tyipcally better than most / many countries, and that reason is the floride in the water.

In one statement he summed it up pretty good, "the detriment of floride in the water vs the costs and other complications caused by NOT doing, it was a no brainer". Not saying this guy was some sort of dental god, but it was a good debate and he refuted my devils advocate attitude I often take. However lets not de-rail this :)

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, children's ice cream.

You know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Kids don't drink water?
BTW, if you think fluoridation is our biggest issue I suggest you go 100% vegan and only eat the stuff you grow in your back yard. start another post if you want to continue your fluoride drivel.

Pretty much everyone knows public water is fluoridated.

You can choose not to use it and buy the bottled or other water sources.

Communism would be all water in the country is fluoridated, and there is no bottled or other sources available....

I agree with some of your subtle underlying points, Zan, although I do still disagree with your overwhelming man love for the nanny state and desire for big brother to tell you what to do, being they are always righteous good and have your best interests at heart.

I first became aware of it during the physical act of love. Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred. Women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, but I do deny them my essence.

    You don't get to see it because the punchline is that you die first.

    Based on the findings of the report, my conclusion was that this idea was not a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious.
