@BowsacNoodle@neofugue >bringing up the age of consent is a bad look Calling something a bad look is an appeal to social consensus, but it's also an indicator that something is outside the overton window and is not considered acceptable discourse by the overwhelming majority of all people. That's definitely true about this issue. Not only will people not take you seriously about this, they won't take you seriously about anything else you say. @DailyStormerDigest please tread carefully on this and consider how you go forward. This is not a good hill to die on. But if you keep standing there, you will die (we will kill you).

You are immune to the scientific process in that you refuse to reevaluate anything after reaching a conclusion, or rather, after having one given to you by a seemingly authoritative source.
@jeffcliff@BowsacNoodle@Thusnelda@agaperealm@pepsi_man Exposure is wildly variable depending on how much a person consumes from fluoride-containing sources. Many people won't get the supposed benefit of consuming it, but others will, or they'll get more than they should. Especially children and infants, as they can easily get harmful levels even from "safe" concentrations in tap water.
People aren't getting appropriate doses for their body weight or respective needs, so it's not controlled. Simple as.
Using tap water as a delivery mechanism for any other medication or supplement would be terrible for many obvious reasons. I haven't even touched on the potential for harm to the environment or plants or other animals, but it's bad enough when you only consider the human side of the equation. Just have dentists and doctors administer it like we do for literally everything not over-the-counter.
But it is still poison. And overexposure is proven to be harmful. So it seems pretty reckless to put it in our water supply, where the dose can't be controlled.
@BowsacNoodle@mackya I've always thought that the world would be infinitely better off if everyone was a Christian. Not simply the belief, but exemplifying the values. That would include the rejection of what's evil and destructive and abnormal.
There's something of a transcendent state, a moral enlightenment found in understanding the value of opposing the modern evils we face. Call it God or whatever else, it's a real phenomenon.
@Humpleupagus@RustyCrab@binkle Try A2 milk. You can get it from Whole Foods. There's a difference in milk proteins that makes a big difference for some people, and it might for you. It also tastes way better than normal milk.
@IAMAL_PHARIUS I had five killtaculars in a row, killing nine people all within four seconds of each other, and I did that TWICE in a single game of Prisoner shotties, in a dorm room in 2003, and I have never been able to achieve that level of greatness since.
@Wormwood If only there was, like, a book or something that could give some kind of, like, moral framework for evaluating these kinds of things. Then maybe they could have a bunch of people devote their lives to studying it and have the guy who knows it best lead them all, and then he'd probably be good at applying it to real world situations.
