    So it makes your point unclear. Are you saying that they have good teeth even with no flouride in the water and not using flouride toothpaste?

      Yes.

      There is no need to add fluoride to drinking water, even when fluoride is good for cavities.

      It’s not my problem if you want to have dirty teeth.

      Wash your fucking teeth man

        Oh, I see. I think I get the misunderstanding.

        Poor people in this country have no money and no support. There’s no free toothpaste fairy floating around giving out supplies. In some parts of the country there isn’t even sewer lines.

        But I understand, it’s easy to mistake us for a first world country because you only see our media. We’re not. We’re a third world country with first world coasts.

        Wash your fucking teeth man

        You’re privileged. Learn some creativity and empathy, or stop wasting the world’s oxygen.

            I had heard people in Finland had anger management issues.

            But that’s my point. Many in the US simply can’t afford it. Most in Finland can. So simply saying “brush your teeth”, as if it’s a personal failing, is just wrong.

              I had heard people in Finland had anger management issues.

              No you haven’t, Finnish people don’t have emotions, let alone emotional regulation, which would be required for an anger management issue.

              But I understand that that particular argument might go over your head, seeing only 4/5 of you even read and half only make it to a sixth grade reading level.

              I’ve heard lots of American live on the street despite working full-time?

              What are you doing about your hostile government takeover?

              For the past 20 years I’ve been listening to barely literate bozos tell me how they need their guns, in case of a government takeover.

              You’re having one. Yet no-one has any balls to so anything about it.

                So you agree. Our government is not taking care of its people, and therefore many don’t have the resources for toothpaste.

                And my anger management comment was based on my sole interaction with a Finnish person. Thank you for being that data point.

                  I know you wish to play the contrarianito, but your first comment is a snide reply which implies we have fluoride in our water.

                  I can see you’re having some trouble with English. You said “you’ve heard”. Now you’re changing it be your personal observation? Flip-floppy, aren’t we? Almost as if you don’t actually have anything to say, contrarianito.

                  Lots of wells have fluoride above safe limits. That’s why people don’t usually drink well water, but have water actually piped into their houses, directly from a municipal water source.

                  I lnow you guys have bad education, but this is starting to get ridiculous. :D
