If they want to Darwin themselves, let them. I'm fine with paying a few bucks to insure that an ambulance gets to my place in an expedient manner and takes away whoever it was I just shot twice. Just put out an ad in the Pennysaver or whatever telling people assaulted, raped, maimed, sick, dying, or killed to take plenty of photos so when the police and doctors finally get to you you have some evidence of what happened.

What the hell am I paying property taxes for already?

Seriously, it's Oregon; who cares? It's nothing but hipsters and meth labs.

"At least we're not Arizona!"

I have no idea, I'm assuming it makes it's way into the teeth through the body (which to me sounds way worse than actually having it in the water, but whatever...). The ADA says it's okay, so it must be right?

Right?!

For what it's worth I think the logic was something like "the risk is only worth it for kids." This way they're the only ones getting it in their system. Other people who apparently don't benefit (at least as much) from it aren't exposed.

Thanks for that btw, it's been really helpful.

Also, when you all going to pay for your half of that bridge you use to get here? You know some of us prefer to replace these things before they're so weak a Canadian can knock them over.

The whole Seattle bridge collapse got me thinking, Seattle is still part of the civilized world where people actually live. It must be nigh impossible to keep the roads, bridges and whatnot in half the midwest maintained with the vast empty lands there.

1. On the first page, there is literally only one site I'm willing to lend any credence at all to, and it's saying that Flouride is fine. Like anything, it comes down to dosage. Baking Soda in large doses is going to be fatal, and adverse reactions can occur in people susceptible to it even in lower doses.

2. There is nothing intrinsically better or worse about something being a "byproduct." At all. At the end of the day, a chemical byproduct is just a chemical. Like Sodium. Or the Oxygen we breathe. Or Water. And something being naturally occurring in no way relates to whether or not it will be good or bad for the body, or in what quantities it will be good or bad. And, protip, there is no such thing as an "unnaturally occuring" chemical. As in, all chemical compounds are created through chemical interactions. Salt is created through geologic processes. O2 is primarily created through organic processes. Carbon Monoxide (generally bad for humans), one of the most common molecules in the universe, and is created through solar processes. And even IT has medical uses.

3. Apparently the idea of dosage is lost on you. Let's say a pea-sized portion of toothpaste is .2% flouride, and is 10 grams, meaning .02 grams of flouride per portion. Your child could swallow 2 a day, making their rate of daily ingestion .04 grams. The wide range of flouride recommendations in public water is .6-1.2 mg/Liter. As in, .0006 grams per liter of water.

Let's assume that a child is actually drinking 1 liter of flouridated water a day. That's a ludicrously small amount of flouride. The lethal minimal dose of ******* in an adult is 70 mg (up to 200 mg, minimal).

And your liver exists for a reason.



[EDIT]

HA, I beat Joph.

Also, pea-size is only .25 grams. So it's not even that bad to begin with.

LOL at Infowars.com being banned.

the spamming of it a few years back got annoying.

I'm guessing Idigg has a flouride cheat sheet taped on his monitor.
