    Is America the only country with fluoridated water supplies and toothpaste? I hate this shit and I believe it is used to suppress our minds. I use fluoride free toothpaste and use a Berkey water filter. My countrymen/women piss me off sometimes, theres some good people out there though.

    Peace

    No, lots of countries Fluoridate their water supplies. I'm pretty sure Ireland does. I think the jury's still out on the effects of fluoride, and evidence is sketchy either way. Personally, I don't think small amounts of fluoride can be that dangerous, otherwise the health effects to the populations (which are living longer and longer) would be much more pronounced. I don't agree with fluoridating water, as that is tantamount to government enforced medication of its population for unnecessary reasons. However, I'm a firm supporter of fluoride toothepaste, which has finally given several generations a Hollywood smile....

    i can't think of a single person i ever knew who ate all of that. bear in mind, people, that the meats listed here are typically on a plate in the center of the table and you pic with you want. our family was more eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, grits and fresh tomatoes. no one ate ALL of it.

    In the United Kingdom 10% of the population receives fluoridated water - including two major cities: Birmingham and Newcastle upon Tyne.

    NOw that I live in Missouri I don't reaaly do breakfast just coffee or a slim fast on the runn and about 10 a snack of some sort.
    When I lived in Oklahoma my aunt she would set large platers full of eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, gray, grits, and pancakes out but she was feeding everyone on the farm, family and ranch hands. You picked what you wanted to eat out of all of it. To drink you could have milk, coffee,or juice. She usually had 2-3 kinds of juice to pick from. We started breakfast at sun up.

    living in the southwest and the mountains, these are typically work vehicles. you need a four wheel drive most of the time. but i'm in the city now, so i sold my 'burban for $500 to some friends. i drive a little saturn now. dave had to have these gigantic diesel trucks. there was always something being hauled about or dragged behind it. he got a promotion, so now he's in a little jeep. but in cities, i see people in hummers and gigantic cars and i wonder why. probably because they just look really good to us. we've huge roads, wide open highways and any number of off roading opportunities. most of those places we want to go require a higher profile tire and four wheel drive.

    If they are required fair enough. I don't have a issue with that. i just have seen way to many kids in big 4X4s for no apparent reason. Even if they were using them to go see your lovely country , that would not be so bad. It seems it is just to get them to school or the beach. maybe to the lates bloody prom. Gee whiz it is annoying.

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    P.s See, i'm not the only person who think you should be saying alluminium.

    :H

    Have a nice day yeh hear !.
