Food and Drug Administration Must Classify Mercury Fillings!

[theeedude]

Hopefully this will make insurers to pay for ceramic fillings instead of those hideous amalgam ones.

The correct insult is "poindexter". According to Wikipedia, it comes from the name of a cartoon character from 50 years ago. The term might have lost some of its sting in that 50 years.

Next time you want to argue word usage with me, try using that dictionary shoved against your ass for more than just a chair booster so you can reach the keys on your parents PC.
Merriam-Webster.com Definition 2 : opinion, judgment
I was not implying a literal legal definition of the word VERDICT Captain Oblivious.

There was no opinion and no judgment rendered. There was no verdict of any kind. That is actually the entire point of a settlement.

Maybe you should check to see if your dictionary has an entry for "poindexter".

The F.D.A. SETTLED the case because the F.D.A. were in the wrong, and they knew it. They also wanted to AVOID a summary OPINION, JUDGMENT or VERDICT of GUILT against them on top of that FACT. The group suing them WOULD NOT have settled UNLESS they were getting what they WANTED in the FIRST place. The F.D.A. was SUED based on prior LAWS and REGULATIONS. VIOLATING their own REGULATIONS resulting in a GUILTY OPINION, JUDGMENT or VERDICT against them was NOT an option for them, and they KNEW that.

It was a civil suit, so it would be impossible for anyone to be found "guilty".

If the people suing them "would not have settled unless they were getting what they wanted in the first place", and the FDA also agreed to settle (which they did), then logically the FDA must have also gotten what they wanted. Therefore, according to this line of reasoning, the FDA won.

Umm, scuse me, pointless thread troll, but I used the name POINTDEXTER for a REASON. Since you basically have no POINT, GET IT? No, I doubt it. But thanks for continuing to play the part of Captain Oblivious, anyhow.

According to Wiki:

Poindexter is a fictional character in the cartoon Felix the Cat. First introduced in 1958, he is the young nephew of the Professor, the arch-nemesis of Felix.

As a reference to the Felix the Cat character, the term "Poindexter" is now applied to people who are overly nerdy, geeky, or bookish.[1]

Urban dictionary claims:

1) one who looks and acts like a nerd but does not posses the super-natural intelligence of a nerd.

3) the professer from felix the cat but everyone uses his name for mockery of nerds and boffins (man, all those ghetto punks can't spell for shit, can they?)

4) 1: any person (usually a nerd or geek) who says useless random facts at random times (usually to random people because they have no friends)
2: a poindexter may also use his superior intellect to change a conversation into a lecture
5) A male who lacks popularity due to his pedantism and quirky fashion sense. Usually impartial to bowties.
6) 1. A Scrawyny kid that comes into the Gym thinkin' he is a "G" or "Gangster"
2. Just a doogan/foolish person in general

I think that just about sums it up. And in this case, they all describe a pointless thread troll named POINTDEXTER.

No, that's the mercury, you silly willy.

 

[ScottMac]

You can drink Mercury with no adverse side effects. Plain ol' Mercury, no problem.

It uses to be used for an anti-VD treatment. They still use it with a special Foley catheter to bust through intestinal blockages. The balloon uses to break occasionally, aside from a somewhat spectacular dump, no side effects.

Grade school science classes used to give each student a couple drops to play with in their bare hands.

The recent (last few decades) panic about Mercury is based on junk science and the ignorance of plain ol' people.

Mercury buildup in fish is a real thing and Very Bad, no doubt about it. Plain ol' Mercury, and the amalgam used in teeth, is perfectly safe.

You need to stop making up / modifying words to insult people, not only are they terrible - it makes you look like a fucking idiot.

So, the FDA won since there was a settlement and didn't lose in court. /thread

Good grief

Dental Amalgam: Filling a Need or Foiling Health?

It's not junk science at all. People have been permanently poisoned and sickened from these toxic fillings. The fillings can even be tested for mercury and other toxic metals after removal. The ratio of the mercury used in the fillings and the other toxic ingredients varies greatly. I have had fillings in my head that are in the entire top of the tooth crowns in ALL my large back molars before I was even 13. Some are shiny silver, others are dull and tarnished looking. And most were probably unneeded but one shyster dentist in particular simply made a fortune off my naive parents and dental insurance when I was a teenager. He even placed a fortune in crowns on most of my sisters baby teeth! I always had good dental hygiene and brushed regularly and my teeth are straight and not stained or crooked. And I also have multiple dental horror stories from various unskilled dentists that would need their own threads to completely cover. I have suffered many unrepairable tooth injuries as a result. But many shyster dentists have no qualms at all about filling a males head full of mercury and toxic metals just to make an extra buck off it. And as far as my genes go, my grandmother with straight teeth never even had a cavity until she was 65.

You probably brushed to hard when you were a kid.

You need to stop making pointless posts where you insult people and you don't have a clue what your obliviously spouting off about. People make up idiotic names for stuff ALL THE TIME. Like your idiotic forum nick, POTTED MEAT. Maybe you could change yours to douchebag. That seems to be a popular favorite among the vaginally challenged here. FAIL

OBLIVIOUS is a WORD fucking idiot. IF you weren't so OBLIVIOUS you would look those BIG words up, before you jumped on the flame wagon and posted clueless rants about others. FAIL

From www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/oblivious

1 : lacking remembrance, memory, or mindful attention
2 : lacking active conscious knowledge or awareness

And how the would you know if I didn't? I make up stupid names for stupid shit all the time, MORONICUSS. (and yea, I know it's derived from the actual name MORONICUS, before you spout off again.) FAIL

Thank god the government is saving us from the real enemy, mercury fillings. I bet they are linked to Al Qaeda.

Or I used a toothbrush that was too hard or a combination of both. Since I have large teeth that go with my large pointy head it makes brushing a bit difficult.
