Some issues when discussed can cause a range of reactions. Sometimes they can lead to an awakening, the beginning of a journey to discovering something new, or they can can cause a certain type of reaction in a person who may not like what they hear. I think that it's all about how we choose to deal with the info we're hearing and how we process it.
Take the issues of let's say .... fluoride and mobile phone tower radiation. The government has allowed the fluoridation of our water and they have allowed the construction of mobile phone towers in residential areas. Does that mean the water is safe to drink and it causes no ill affect? Does that mean that the mobile phone towers are safe? What about the handsets. Are they safe for children to use and hold against their heads?
Well, we discuss these things and some people do react angrily to the people discussing these issues. Does this mean that we have to stop discussion that challenges the supposed official stance or challenges what we are told is the mainstream belief? Do we have to self-censor or have this in a [private group? I have noticed that in discussion forums or the media that racist beliefs are a;allowed a platform and yet issues that many folk feel that need to be addressed because of health concerns are not given the same platform. To me racism is abhorrent and yet in the media, it gets the pass ticket while issues that some call important to health freedom do not! Why is that? Could it be political? What are your thoughts?
This is a discussion that some people here would be interested in while others may not be. Folks with opposing views are welcome as always. Please, if someone has an issue with these topics being discussed or another member, could they refrain from any attacks on others or deliberately flooding this thread with off topic filler.
Which no doubt they do, given that racism isn't supported on these boards. Which begs the question as to why you felt it necessary to reference them.
However, as I noted earlier, the thread title makes no mention of health, but simply non-mainstream issues.
Which could be health-related, or could be talking walruses, or flying pigs, or flat-eathers, or any of many other issues.
Maybe you should have been more specific.
Yopu know very well what the thread is about and what the title was a lead-in to davewil1964. The first post explains what the thread is about. Health related discussiond. See below. By the way, I did something similar to this the other day but the thread was attacked.

Now that I have you here, please do tell what you think of people discussing issues such as fluoride,mobile phone radiation and GM food. What do you think about people who question the official or main-stream stance on these issues?

Mostly ' nutjobs '. LOL
Please understand - if I knew how to add your much needed ' kudo ' 4chann to this post as you do - I would.

Hey, I'm giving you a kudo. I don't know if I ever have before but since you have refrained from attacking me and given an honest answer of what you think of people who arre discussing issues such as fluoride,mobile phone radiation and GM food, that's got to be worth something! Now we're getting somewhere. And I respect your opiniion and right that you think they are nutjobs. I don't agree with you but you have the right to hold that view.
And put down the phone - turn off the TV - don't use the microwave - dry your hair naturally - move the bed from the wall - sunblock is worse than the burn - clean so no need for spray - wipe down the solar panels - and - whatever you do - don't drive - you're killing us.
Most of all - don't buy from China - it only ends up in landfill.
I think that they are subject to confirmation bias, and are unwilling to objectively look at the proven science.
And the thread title is the thread title, regardless of post-posting remorse.
There is science that backs up claims that fluoride is harmful. There is science that backs up claims that mobile phone radiation is harmful. This is supported by medical professionals.With the other science that holds an opposing view,we need to think about who owns that. The media which is the conduit to our minds and shapes the perception of many, who owns that?
Do dollars$$$$$$ sometimes speak louder than the inner voice of morality?

Nite nite - have a warm Milo.
Thanks for the advice. Good pointers. Sorry but you've had the one-off kudo from me.
