      DeSantis just outlawed fluoride in water and my city just… went along with it. It’s the dumbest state and I can’t wait to leave.

        I never said it was a pass. But it is something you must take into account.

        We added fucking lead to everything back then. Even the fucking water lines and gasoline pumping it into every breath they took whether they wanted to or not. An entire generation fucked by lead without knowing it at the time.

        Lead exposure has been shown to things like increased aggression. Which propaganda then takes to the next level by stoking artificial fear.

        The way you phrase and articulate your statements reads like you are suggesting that lead is the culprit of Boomer behavior, and not deep character flaws and a broad sense of entitlement and narcissistic indulgences. Hence my rebuttal.

          Oh no there's a lot of bullshit with the boomers. Lead is just one of many things. It's not all just because they're assholes, there are some legitimate contributors that result in the extreme bullshit pie.

            When I was a kid, my mom was outraged that somebody made the statement, "children aren't their parent's property."
            So, yeah

              I mean, that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.

              The fact that "how it used to be" in your childhood produced a scumbag like you is a compelling argument to not let people's childhoods be like that anymore.

                  what's the news here? They are basically using the same arguments the US used to not ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Minors being the parents property is still an almost uncontroversial position in the US even if people don't phrase it like that.

                      Republican state Senator Jay Collins, the bill's sponsor, said the measure was about parental rights: "We should let them say what's best for their kids at 16- to 17-year-olds, that's what we're saying by this."

                      Anyone who puts forth a measure aimed at "parental rights", it's always something that's aimed at parents' right to treat their children like property

                          I'm not the one you asked, but adding fluoride to tap water was a revolution in dental health, so yeah.

                          Just like most things, concentration matters. A little fluoride is very good for you. A lot of fluoride is bad for you. They put a "very good for you" amount in the water, and if you don't get it from the water you should take supplements.

                          You may have seen conspiracy theories about fluoride addition which have existed since the 70s, but those have about as much credibility as chemtrails.

                              See also: the troubled teen industry. Ir parenting is too much work, you can send your kid to torture school.

                                  Don't know about any conspiracy theories, but my take is tapwater should be as clean as possible without any additives. Fluoride is in fish, fruits, toothpaste, make sure you eat healthy enough so you don't need your water source to be "contaminated".

                                  But I guess in the US and the food quality its better than nothing.

                                      The introduction of flouride to drinking water saw a massive improvement in the public's dental health across the board. It is still widely considered to be one of the greatest public health initiatives of the 20th century.

                                      You should also keep in mind that drinking water always has some level of natural flouride in it. Just the concentration varies by region. Public health officials discovered that areas with higher amounts of natural flouride also had lower rates of cavities and tooth decay. So some cities have their water flouridated to bring their flouride content up to beneficial levels.

                                        So let me get this straight. The US needs Migrants so much that we're needing to replace them with teenagers?
