Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Good bait
Lol, no. Even if that were my intention, two replies? And some knee jerk downvotes? What kinda troll is gonna feed themselves on such a small amount of controversy?
We have quite the hive mind going in the thread, though!
Because you came out with baseless conjecture which was debunked decades ago which you could have educated yourself about at any time, hiding behind "may" and whatever other nonsense you thought would make you sound reasonable.
Oh really? Quote me a source that says ingesting fluoride is beneficial.
And take your ad hominem crap somewhere else. 🙄
Edit: If you want to discuss this further, find someone else. Let's just say you won't be getting any further replies from me...ever.
Where's your source?

Not hard. Take your nonsense elsewhere instead of pulling that.
You made a claim without any backing evidence. If people keep telling you to fuck off and you keep wondering why, well here's someone telling you why.
Meanwhile, in communities where fluoride has already been removed from the water…

Not, communities; one community. And that study looks shady as hell, not gonna lie. For instance, so far I see no discussion regarding any other things that could've influenced the results. Like, I'm really not impressed by the methodology they used. At all.
Very rude of that community to not conform to what you wanted them to do instead of just experiencing the effects of unfluoridated tap water, smh.
If you're going to nitpick their methodology I'm sure you won't mind sharing your own published studies on the matter, right? TIA.
Eh, this was fun, but I'm getting bored. 😉 I'm kidding. However, that's less a study and more a statistical analysis. One that failed to correct for any known issues that might cause unexpected results. I did find an interesting link earlier, I might try checking some of their sources. If I find anything interesting, well... I'll have forgotten about this, so maybe I'll update, maybe not! 😝
You’re not bored, you’re just making your obligatory-brave-exit-speech for having lost both arguments. Your research skills are terrible.
Fool.
Stupid is as stupid does.
And, seriously, you actually care if there fluoride in your drinking water? How fucking miserable is it to live like that?
Goodnight, my friend. You could benefit from time in the real world, so I'm blocking you. Which of course means you win, now shut the fuck up and stop worrying about me, a complete stranger, and my opinions on anything.
In other words, get a life.
Bye.
