Not everything is a conspiracy theory. But I like to discuss things that are. Like I said in another thread, it would be great for all involved if 99% of the conspiratorial things that I question turn out to be wrong.

I didn't mean it to be confrontational or judgmental. I'm glad you hope that you're wrong about it all. Discussing things is one thing but I feel a lot of people, sometimes yourself, take things WAY too far into left field with some of these theories of what is really going down. I'm not that much of a sheep either. I'm fully aware of the kind of dirty awful things governments/organizations, ours to the umpteenth degree, have done in the past. I just think it's unhealthy to think there's always a man behind the curtain trying to f*ck people.

Not to mention that countless people I've met who claim the government is lying to us and to not believe what you read. I ask them where they came to that conclusion and they point to Youtube and a user named frostedflakes89

Fluoride is extremely bad for you, and it is added to most public water supplies. It has zero health benefits, which leads many to conclude that it is added for nefarious reasons.

Your roommate is gonna shit his pants when he learns about atrazine.

Omg, Merit is that one dentist out of every ten that disapproves every product.

Cut him some slack. It's actually always 4 out of 5.

It's also out of fear of a chaotic and uncontrollable world.
It's way more calming to think that everything bad happens because of THEM than admitting that the world is ****ed up and complex and the reason for its ****tiness is often the sum of everyone's individual ****tiness and there's not a lot we can do about it.

As far as I know, fluoride is only harmful in concentrations so high you will only ever reach those level if you live in an industrially fluoride contaminated environment.

I know various places in Africa have problems with too high levels in ground water, which can potentially cause some side effects like brittle bones or something. Long time since I read about it, so you should Google the details for yourself.

If both of these statements were true (most water supplies, extremely bad for you), why aren't people dropping like flies?
