The logic does flesh out that you are accepting a number of premises on faith to believe the official story. Questioning the official story doesn't necessitate believing everything that anyone ever said about 9/11. The only premise you have to accept to question the story is that there was probably a bomb that destroyed building 7. Just that one premise vs. the half dozen premises that lead to the conclusion that it was terrorists and the government wasn't involved. What is the evidence that building 7 was destroyed by terrorists? It didn't even get hit by a plane. That's undeniable.

But a number of those premises are not based on faith. We have a lot of evidence proving that some terrorists hijacked some planes and flew them into some towers. We even have a video tape confession from Osama bin Laden. Those are the facts. They are not premises. You don't need to rely on faith to accept things that actually happened.

The building 7 stuff comes down to two conflicting ideas
1) Building 7 was destroyed by falling debris and raging fires, a likely scenario when two much larger towers just collapsed nearby
2) Building 7 was struck by debris, but it was actually destroyed by a bunch of explosives that were planted in secret and detonated on the same day as the September 11 attacks, without anyone speaking a word of the plan, and without any of the conspirators being noticed

The first premise doesn't even require faith, it just requires a basic understanding of physics. We have pictures of tower 7 hosed up by debris, so we know that debris had struck it before it collapsed. Given the evidence, scenario 1 is a lot more plausible and requires a lot fewer leaps of faith than scenario 2.

Were they done by just jamming a billion gallons of fluorine into people or were they done on fluorine consumption in levels and formats similar to what would be found in US drinking water?

Also "it reacts with almost anything" doesn't say a great deal because so does aluminium. You still won't die from drinking out of cans.

Look, the fact of the matter is that conspiracies often requires you to make a bunch of leaps in logic in order to believe in them. This is why they always get mocked. "Water fluoridation was the culmination of decades of research that began by observing that small levels of fluoride in water helped prevent tooth decay and ended when it was discovered that these levels had no detrimental health effects" requires a lot fewer leaps in logic than "Germany started a water fluoride chemical weapons program in the 1940s in order to poison the entire world, including themselves from 1950-1970, and they accomplished this with shady connections around the world, including via infiltrated members in the US NIH that enacted this plan before the US had even entered the war; nobody bothered to question the poisonous effects of water fluoridation and the issue was never raised against except by the enlightened few who were able to peer through the curtain and ascertain that water fluoridation is a nazi genocidal plot, evidence be damned"

Oxygen is pretty loving electronegative, almost as much as fluoride, but that doesn't mean that you're going to die from breathing or from drinking a glass of water or from consuming any of a million things that have oxygen as a component. Just like with fluoride, what's important is dosage. In sufficiently small quantities, fluoride has no negative health effects on people, and there are many studies proving that this is the case. In sufficiently large quantities, literally anything will cause you harm.

e: This brings us back to anecdotal proof vs statistical proof. This is one of those cases where you require more than anecdotal evidence in order to claim that fluoridated water is bad for you. Statistically, we have countless studies showing that fluoride in drinking water causes no harm. I haven't heard of any Chinese studies showing negative effects; can you provide them to us?

It was in areas with already high levels for sure, but they did get good data showing neurological damage. We've moved on a bit to questioning whether hydrofluosilicic acid (the chemical added to water supplies and obtained from industrial waste) could be contaminated with lead and arsenic from the industrial process. The argument was made that hydrofluosilicic acid is reacted with other chemicals prior to being added to the water to remove impurity, and if anyone can prove that and show me how cities convert hydrofluosilicic acid into sodium fluoride before adding it to the water, I'll be satisfied.

Also pure fluoride literally doesn't exist in nature so this is irrelevant because it only exists in compounds. This is like railing against table salt for having sodium and chlorine.

And you still haven't addressed your complete and utter ignorance about German history that is the basis of this horseshit.

Actually, that's not how debate works; if you're claiming that fluoridated water introduces an unsafe amount of lead and other chemicals into our drinking water and that these impurities are escaping detection using standard techniques, then it's up to you to prove the accusation. Do you have any evidence of this?

Impurities in the hydrofluosilicic acid wouldn't be consistent throughout, and so this is the kind of result I would expect. Only when impure chemicals were added would we find excessive levels of contamination, so I don't think we need 29 of 29 to question whether this might be from impure chemicals labeled as fluoride.

Why? The water all gets fluoridated in a single place, meaning that the inclusion of any lead contamination from water fluoridation would result in an approximately homogenous mixture throughout the city. A far more likely explanation is that lead pipes in the city water mains and in homes, features that were common until the 1980s, introduce a difficult-to-predict amount of lead contamination on a home-by-home basis.

Next, you're also going to have to prove that lead levels are too high in every city in America. The EPA would be throwing a shitfit if this were the case
