The addition of fluoride to water supplies has been an incredible public health success. More importantly because not everyone, particularly children, are fastidious about dental hygene and having sufficent minerals in their diet.

as you can see i did not start the flouride issue and was asked how our teeth where so i answered it you dont need floride to make your teeth healthy

i personaly will not tolerate being personally attacked and being called a luddite

I didn't see it as a personal attack. Being called a Luddite is not that bad - I'm one. The problem is that you are looking at the original meaning of the term, not the term as it is now seen.

Now that could be called a personal attack and is not particularly nice nor called for. Diana made no attack upon you, Kelvin.

Like many Australians. we've used rainwater for drinking and never had an issue. Our house water supply on Norfolk Island was rain water and we lived on it for 3 years with no problems. As a kid, our house had rain water as did our house when I lived in Ceduna in the 1969-1970.

The handle is Lotz-A-Landies and thank you for your greeting. However I would prefer that you keep Christ in Christmas if you must give me the season's greetings at all although I don't celebrate it myself. What I do understand is that it is important for Christians and only respectful that we don't blaspheme His name.

As Ron has suggested, I wasn't attacking you, just pointing out that apart from the risk of crypto and bacteria in rainwater, there is also a risk to the dentition of children. No offence meant.

Seasons greetings to you as well.
Diana

Sorry Diana,
I think I might have inflamed things by calling him a Luddite. I stand by that call, although I appreciate your attempts at reason.

It's really interesting that some people feel obliged to force their views on others, even though they are poorly informed.

All the Best,
Peter

Just to take this discussion to a whole new level of sillyness and even further off topic. There is some arguement about the lord being a 'he', while I don't pretend that I have the absolute answer to this debate I can say one thing for sure.

If people want to argue and get heated about whats good water and or not, which should be such an easy topic to discuss, then I can't wait to see how excited they will get about debating religion.

For the sake of an interesting debate I'll go with the feminists point of view on this occassion that the
lord is a woman... Any takers??

So from a very proud male chauvinist luddite who is extremely happy it is raining and filling our empty water tanks with either drinkable or not drinkable water depending on who you listen too...

Merry Christmas
Terry

Yes Terry, it is further off topic and about as annoying as all the various Christmas stuff on TV. But it is their celebration and there is a lot of them so be it.

From your point I put the "his" in Bold-Italics exactly for the reason of the debate, but also the people who believe in Christ almost always believe it to be a him. Once again it was out of respect for their beliefs.

As I have said elsewhere, you don't have to hold a belief yourself but it is plain bad manners to go around disrespecting the fully held beliefs of others, be they Christian; Jewish; Muslim; Buddhist or a host of others. Importantly I mean the disrespect by illiterating the names of the deities, prophets and festivals they hold to be true.

Nuff Said.
