Seconded. It's getting a bit much.
There is a difference between open-mindedness and stupidity. The "theory" you posted clearly falls into the realm of the latter, for reasons that others already posted.

I am not saying anything about other people actions and I don't care for them. I stated it before, once you wanted someone to not post his opinions here and now you defended someone when people said him the same (with posts and downvotes).

You seem to not make the difference between what I did and what is happening now. I suggested to Telika that he should not have such a discussion in the forum. I only told him my opinion, without INSULTING him or downvoting him or in any way interferring with the discussion. When he decided not to follow my advice, I just ignored the thread. My point is that people who don't like this thread, instead of ignoring it like I did with Telika's thread, are downvoting the OP and insulting him, instead of just ignoring it.

Hey man, every once in a while it turns out that a cryptid was actually real all along, and was either a deformed version of an existing species (jackalope) or was in fact a rare new species (giant squid, Hoan Keim turtle). This surely means that all cryptids are totally a real thing, dude, and not mostly hoaxes and myths. We should totally, like, spend billions of dollars looking for them, and stuff.

See bolded. And asking Telika to not post his thoughts goes against his "right to start thread", doesn't it? Only you did it in more civilized manner, which can is also probably because Telika's thread is much more reasonable and meaningful than this one.

Honestly, I'm more concerned about car trails.

Sometimes, when it's cold outside, I see those chemicals coming out of cars' exhaust pipes. They're using people's own vehicles to spread their horrors. They've probably put chemicals that are bad for your body into the gasoline. :p

/edit: oh snap, ninja'd by 3 minutes :o

As they say, it's good to keep an open mind - but not so open that your brains fall out.

"An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded."

You are right about there being a link between excessively high amount of fluoride and the brain not developing normally. Last time I read about it, they had found out that people living in areas where there is was a very high amount of fluoride in the groundwater could suffer some reverse effects, but people living in areas with normal-high amounts (sorry, I don't remember the numbers) showed no signs of adverse effects compared to people living in areas with almost no fluoride in the groundwater.
Note that the fluoride amount in US drinking water was well within what can be considered normal levels for groundwater.
So people who claim that fluoridation is used for mind control ignore all fact that does not fit within the theory that they want to present. One could easily do the same thing by claiming that "eating spinach is bad". You could theoretically get food poisoning from eating spinach (if the spinach is bad in some way). Now if you just present the food poisoning part, and fail to present all the other facts, you can make spinach sound like it is a horrible poison. Oh, and some government subsidies farmers who grow spinach, so obviously the spinach is sold to the general population to poison us, and the government is behind it all!

Fluoridation of water is very real and very dangerous! I first became aware of it, Mandr... er... AFnord, during the physical act of love.
I'd say it would be totally worth it to start a nuclear war over this.

Careful guys, "they" could be watching this thread right now O.O

(I don't know who "they" are but it sounds all scary and ominous like T.T)

How could you, you haven't watched the video that was the basis for this topic. I completely understand not wanting to invest the time, but then how can we have a meaningful dialogue about it?

The documentaries conveniently show the name of the scientists as they speak. Do you want me to go back through both films and write down all the names?

Aerosols made of various materials such as sulfate, aluminum or barium.

Particles released by aircraft, balloons or artillery would block sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth, creating a global dimming effect. The idea was inspired by observing volcanic eruptions and the effects the sulfuric acid aerosols they inject into the stratosphere have on Earth's climate.

Have I? No, but then I haven't conducted scientific research on the subject, I merely posted two YouTube videos. You bring up some interesting points.

That would be too easy! We all know the basis of a international conspiracy (Note: 101) that you need to make it unecessarily complex and secret but the reason behind is never revealed at all, maybe not even the co-conspirators know!!!

This is an awesome thread. Shame on the people who downrep the OP because of his opinion. On other hand this forums seriously need more sub-forums so this one wouldn't pop up in a "General Discussion"'s forum. Come one, TET!!! What's stopping you?!

1+ for people with the jokes as well. :P
