[QUOTE=saintsim;48081005] I fully intend to. Is this seriously the kind backlash i can expect for questioning science on FP? Even just a little by asking basic questions and at least [I]trying[/I] to be the devil's advocate? Remind me to never be skeptical on FP again. Just trust big pharma and everything will be ok. :v:[/QUOTE] Big pharma is the reason you don't have any one of the many infectious diseases that have been wiped out by vaccinations. Without those medications you'd have a good chance of being too dead to complain about medications right now.

[QUOTE=Snowmew;48084420]Which pollutants, specifically? The ones that are common to most industrial manufacturers, or the air pollution from cars themselves? [/QUOTE] Both count.

Capitalistically-managed water has fluoride in it. And capitalistically-managed housing costs too much.

Most of you have called off the institutional Christian God as complete baloney, so why not worship modern medicine instead? I just wish the guy that started this would show up and agree with me, since all I'm doing is just being skeptical/looking at things with my own reasoning. I don't have that much personal experience.

[QUOTE=saintsim;48084181]You skimmed over the massive amounts of pollution caused by the auto industry. [/QUOTE] Ok, the pollution is a problem, but by comparison to the benefits of all the individuals affected by it having personal mobility to go more than a hundred miles casually in a day as a standard, those that are deep within supercities getting fresh food including milk, and the speed of which you can request a physical item to be delivered to you or your post office and it being there. Oh yeah, and you getting an ambulance in an extremely short period of time, thus increasing your chances of survival of even heart attacks massively. The balancing factors could get even more difficult to compare. Yeah; they pollute a bit more than they should, but we are in the process of decreasing that pollution level and designing vehicles that pollute based on the input source of the electricity that they are charged with. Which, by the way, is less polluting even if you were using coal to power and recharge due to the efficiency of the energy extraction from the coal. Also, on your everything has downsides: what is the downside of multivitamins, as I stated rather than nitpicking on my missing a thing about vehicles.

Artificial does not equate harmful. Flouride makes water more beneficial to humans than regular water. Housing is expensive in some places and cheap in others, welcome to Earth. You say you're using your own reasoning yet your own reasoning is baseless "The man is out to get you, artificial = bad" garbage.

And when you do move to the forest please find some way of sending us your GPS coordinates so I can go over and throw Polio on you and we can test that hygiene theory. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Don't feed the troll" - Craptasket))[/highlight]
vaccines helped to secure modern countries from dangers of mass widespread 'known' dissesases most of them were deadly in Europe it helped also decrease death rate between children several times in fact, due to massive surge of immigrants from Africa/Middle-East it's been discussed we need re-introduce some vaccines which were phased out as not needed ... being against vaccines is really bad as there are illnesses we aren't naturally capable to fight (most of the deadly illnesses have 20 to 99% mortality rate vs those who aren't immune)
it would be pretty terrible if they accidently sterilized all those children, would make a good film tho NEXT STOP: Africa and the Mid-east. Those places need some real vaccinations against all kinds of diseases, although, is it worth it?
