kevbone Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What is the big deal? http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/feeding/fluoride_water.html I would think most conservatives would be against the government forcing you to intake a substance such as Fluoride. You know....since they are for a smaller government. And it is up to the parents to help with the dental hygiene of their children....not the government. But Lars and his right leaning cronies are totally for this.....what have we come too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Kevbone, I wish I could invent a time-machine for you so you could take your family back to live in the 10th century when they didn't have dangerous things like vaccines and fluoride.

John Frieh Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Almost every credible national, state, and local health and science organization—private and public—gives its blessing to optimal levels of water fluoridation: The American Medical Association, the American Dental Association, the Environmental Protection Agency, the World Health Organization, American Academy of Family Physicians, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which named the measure one of the 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. They all agree that fluoridated water is perfectly safe and extremely effective at preventing tooth decay. link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it is up for an aurguement that it does or does not prevent tooth decay. The question is should the government force it on you?

They should also force all you fatties to exercise. And wear a dog collar that shocks the piss out of you every time you try and cram some junk food down your pie hole.

Rad Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 They all agree that fluoridated water is perfectly safe and extremely effective at preventing tooth decay. I dont think it is up for an aurguement that it does or does not prevent tooth decay. The question is should the government force it on you? They don't. Clean, purified and fluoridated tap water is like electricity, roads, public transportation, and a other services that the Guvmint provides for its citizens. They benefit us all and cost money to build and maintain. We all pay. We all benefit. You don't get to question why we're on 60hz AC vs a DC grid. You plug in or you don't. You don't get to question whether we drive on the left side or the right side of the road or at what speed limit. You abide by the rules of the road or you get fined, lose your license, go to jail. You don't get to decide how we purify our water or what we put in it to make the population healthier. You drink it or you don't. If you want to live off your own well, generate your own power, and stay off the roads that's just your choice. Good luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, let's abolish the CDC while we're at it as they're clearly evil. Sigh, fighting ignorance - who knew the Internet would make it that much harder, not easier. The splintering of modern media allows people to go through days, weeks at a time only reading, hearing, and seeing news that agrees with their world view - because that's what drives clicks, which drives ads, which drives revenues. This allows people to persist in their bubbles of blissful ignorance more easily than they could 20+ years ago when Walter Cronkite could tell us all, "That's the way it is."

Not the governement. Yes! Additionally, I believe it's up to the parents to ensure their children are drinking healthy water, that's why we should also abolish water treatment plants. Let parents boil their own water, GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
