Let's all stop pretending like either side actually a gives a fuck about fluoride. We all just picked a side and got in shouting matches. You didn't say a god damn word about fluoride until there was a vote. Shut up and go back to complaining about the guy that cut you off in traffic or the significant other that you stuck with for too long.
When I was a kid, my dentist gave me sweet, orange flavored, fluoride pills. He directed me to chew them up real good, swish the spit around in my mouth, then spit it all out, because "fluoride is poisonous." That's what he said.
Let the City hand out tax payer funded fluoride pills if you like Communism so damned much.
Fluoride really is a strange topic. While I am typically very interested in municipal politics, I have not been able to find even one fuck to give about this issue. It has been good fun reading all the vitriol-fueled screeds, the angry recriminations, and the phenomenal amount of reckless hyperbole. I hope that whatever's next is important enough for me to bother picking a side. It looks like fun!
Why is such a large minority of losers so adamant about forcing EVERYBODY to have to ingest ANYTHING that ANYONE does not want to consume? Once you start a precident like that, the next thing you know, they will be perfuming all the ventilation systems with fart spray.
In 11 years all the children and colored people will be dead from lack of fluoride. Its science. Fluoride will get voted down again by the remaining white, privileged people who were saved by their tin-foil hats.
I can't believe all these junk science people who believe that studying ingested fluoride is somehow different than topical fluoride. That somehow a substance that kills bacteria in your mouth will kill bacteria in your stomach. THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ORGANS!!!!
This is top shelf SCIENCE.
How can you possibly think that the CDC's 10,000 studies are ALL WRONG. Impossible! I've not read or seen any of them but they have a statistic on their website and we all know where there is a statistic there are 10,000 studies behind it! That's Newtons law of totally NOT junk science.
Get with SCIENCE you hippy morons!
And there's the ADA. That stands for SCIENCE IS US ( in Latin or something ).
Uhg!! It just makes me soooo ANGRYYYYY! This junk "science". URRRRHRGGHGH.
Don't you people know that in SCIENCE fluoride is NOT a chemical. By definition a chemical is NOT fluoride. And even if it was by displacement theory chlorine being a chemical negates any thing that starts with an F from being categorized in the chemical family. It's on the periodic table, in the footnotes.
Please also note that SCIENCE is also strongly for the notion of human-influenced climate change. That's clearly foolish, though, because SCIENCE, right?
Y'know, I'm sorry I even popped in here. I'm just happy the damn thing is over so I can read about something else. I really appreciate the passion people can muster in this city, even when the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. People here give a shit, and that's good. I yield the floor to yet another link to An Inconvenient Tooth or whatever.
Climate change has to do directly with changing concentrations of carbon in our atmosphere. Carbon is naturally occurring in our atmoshpere though, like fluoride in our water.
Humans have been putting that extra carbon there because, in small part, at one time, science said that was safe.
True story, but yea totally unrelated to this whole save the children with fluoride thing. Because, ya know, children.
I grew up on well water. I just went to the dentist after 6 years and I have zero cavities. Because I, like, brush my teeth and floss, and stuff (with fluoride toothpaste, btw). And it's something that everyone can do. Because it's affordable and doable. Just brush and floss. Cavities are not caused because of a lack of fluoride. And I do realize our water isn't "pure" b/c it has other chemicals in it. I just don't want to add another chemical to it. What's so fucking wrong with that?
I LOVE it when privileged people say; "I, like, brush my teeth and floss, and stuff (with fluoride toothpaste, btw). And it's something that everyone can do."
Hey, not everyone had the same luxurious childhood as you; with parents that enforced good hygiene. Of course someone as privileged as you can't possibly think outside of their own box to notice this.

Yeah, I've never heard of it either.

This must mean it's safe to put fluoride in our water.

And by that I mean the talking points that a lobbyist got paid to dumb down for me.
Fuck off flouride pushers
