    anyone who believes anyone these days is a gullible fool

    So we should all believe you?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    absolutely not, without looking into it first.

    Call me crazy but I'd rather juat have a clean water supply with as few additives as possible. It is not for the state to decide if I need fluoride supplements.

    Edit: if the state were to foot the bill for all my dental needs then it should certainty have a say. But it doesn't, so it shouldn't.

    Take your medicine and shut the fu*k up. Do what you're told, Pronto, as the water-board heads would say, and the Dentists... yes, Dentists have qualifications in toxicology in a far-away fantasy world made from donations from the pharmaceutical industries. Come fly with me, Come fly, come fly away.

    Some ministers uncle is gettong money off the flouride company. Or some TD is using the flouride as an expense in his constituency to finance his daughters house. Or something.
    Sure isn't for your good health anyway.

    Boyagainstfloride, is that you?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    How do you know that vaccinations are not toxic to the human body? How do you know that flouride isn't really bad news for us either?
    All that approval malarkey they have to go through before they make it to the market. There may be harmful effects but if the vaccines where toxic we'd know all about it because there would be mass reactions not one here and there.

    Flouride is bad for you. Theres loads of science to back that statement up somewhere, probably. Anyway I don't want it in my water.
    Fluoride is good for you, there's loads of evidence to back it up.

    I wonder why so many countries are banning or taking the fluoride out of their water if it's so great for us, as the blogger claims?
    Democracy. The angry mob get's more attention than the rational scientist.

    WS Gilbert gets it in one. If you like to get to get to the nitty head to 1 min 40 secs ......... otherwise enjoy!



    And the words:

    If you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line
    as a man of culture rare,
    You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms,
    and plant them ev'rywhere.
    You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases
    of your complicated state of mind,
    The meaning doesn't matter if it's only idle chatter
    of a transcendental kind.

    And ev'ry one will say,
    As you walk your mystic way,
    "If this young man expresses himself in terms too deep for me,
    Why, what a very singularly deep young man
    this deep young man must be!"


    Be eloquent in praise of the very dull old days
    which have long since passed away,
    And convince 'em, if you can, that the reign of good Queen Anne
    was Culture's palmiest day.
    Of course you will pooh-pooh whatever's fresh and new,
    and declare it's crude and mean,
    For Art stopped short in the cultivated court of the Empress Josephine.

    And ev'ryone will say,
    As you walk your mystic way,
    "If that's not good enough for him which is good enough for me,
    Why, what a very cultivated kind of youth this kind of youth must be!"


    Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable fashion
    must excite your languid spleen,
    An attachment a la Plato for a bashful young potato,
    or a not- too-French French bean!
    Though the Philistines may jostle, you will rank as an apostle
    in the high aesthetic band,
    If you walk down Piccadilly with a poppy or a lily
    in your medieval hand.

    And ev'ryone will say,
    As you walk your flow'ry way,
    "If he's content with a vegetable love which would certainly not suit me,
    Why, what a most particularly pure young man
    this pure young man must be!"

    This was written by Gilbert about the fad of falling in love with vegetables ..... which, yes, bright young things did in those days ........ purely to impress

    Who needs girl against fluoride when you have organizations below opposing it
    The Consumers’ Association of Ireland (CAI) took a neutral stance on the question of the
    benefits and risks of water fluoridation. The CAI council had voted that consumers should
    have choice in this issue and that as mandatory water fluoridation does not offer choice, the
    CAI opposes the continuation of water fluoridation. It is the recommendation of the
    Consumers’ Association of Ireland that the Government should now cease adding
    fluoridating chemicals to the piped drinking water.

    The Irish Doctors’ Environmental Association (IDEA) likewise adopted a neutral stance on
    the benefits of water fluoridation, and expressed its opposition to the continuation of the
    fluoridation of drinking water supplies. The association has concerns regarding the addition
    of fluoride to the water supply, on the grounds of unknown dosage, particularly with regard
    to infants. It also has concerns regarding contaminants and the possible interaction of
    fluoride with other drugs. The association believes that the ingestion of fluoride should be a
    matter of choice, and that dental decay is best prevented by dietary measures and
    improved dental hygiene.

    I really don't want to be drinking fluoridated water and currently I have no choice. This is my problem. Why don't the government just stop fluoridating and people that want it in their water can buy it in a plastic container. I believe all fluoride containers need to have the toxic skull and crossbones symbol as it is highly toxic. Who would want to put that in their cuppa tea?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,157 ✭✭✭srsly78


    You don't hear anyone complaining about all the dihydrogen monoxide, should we put a label on that too?

    Plenty of things are highly toxic in high concentrations but are perfectly fine at low levels. Water is toxic if ingested in large enough quantities.

    OP your thread is an attack on a girl, I don't know her history, education or mental state to be honest, and really I don't care, but theres a couple of things your missing in your veiled personal attack.

    Because she has other idea's about other things doesn't automatically make her wrong on fluoride.
    Maybe it would be a better idea to maybe educate yourself a little about what fluoride is before adding links to a quack blog backing up your "claims".

    The argument for it's staying in our water supply are that it helps our teeth, this argument is ridiculous, it causes more damage to teeth with fluorosis.

    Fluoride accumilates in the body, some people have much less physical tolerance to this industrial waste product to others, so mass medication harms some more than others. It's been shown to affect the thyroid and pineal glands, look into the functions of both, use google maybe?


    I have more to say about this subject but I find this thread misinformation at best and your links just codswollop to be frank.

    Heres some links to counter your blog links, and don't worry no links from TGAF or spiritual guides.
