Really? It's the water that 'ruined' the country? For a loose-ish definition of ruined, I suppose...

That's a pretty sweeping statement there sonny. How exactly has it ruined our country?

S'OK. You can combat the scourge of fluoridation by popping on an aul' tinfoil hat when browsing the interwebs. They can't google you when you're wearing a tinfoil hat.

Dear God, not more Nazi fluoridation nonsense.

Hey now, that video had suitably sinister music, the narrator had a sinister voice and the OP made no argument at all. It must be true. To the hills, the hills where we can get the water before they poison it down in the valleys!

Besides all the conspiracy theories I do think it is a very serious matter if it has affected our health since the 50s. Well your Children are drinking this contaminated water are you are not considered about there future and there health in the long run it is to late for us we have drank to much. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/end-of-mass-medication-fluoride-in-water-would-save-12m-1.1613434

As soon as that video mentioned UFO's and ghosts I switched off ... Fine roads them Nazi's built though

Amazed the word 'docile' hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

FWIW, I have no problem with the fluoridation of water coming under review, and taking into account the fact that other countries don't do it anymore. There's nothing wrong with having a discussion about whether it's necessary anymore.

But people like the OP do themselves absolutely no favours with the tinfoil hat nonsense. It weakens any kind of reasonable point they may have.

I often wonder about the half of the country, like myself, who were brought up on well water and have never really had fluoride. I feel I should be up there fighting for your rights since you lot are drugged and can't do it yourselves.

But sadly I can't be bothered.

the up-loader even wrote in the description: "...Tune in to learn the craziest fluoride conspiracies in this episode...".

not really an endorsement of the claims made in the video.

Where's the OP at? He did seem quite passionate about this!

A friend told me this there was a tour being done in the irish water treatment plant in Blessington for business folk and the tour was going fine until the part where it they discuss putting Fluoride in.

The tour guide said and this is where we put the Fluoride in the water there was a massive court case in the 50s regarding it and then suddenly says.......and moving on....

If there was ever a compelling argument to be made on any topic, it surely began with 'a friend told me...'
