A bit about rainwater tanks

And I'll file a counter-claim against you for mental anguish, breach of the peace, laundering money and being in possession of a lethal shoe lace.

Just kidding ;D

Now that's just frivolous!!!

Ok, it's a truce. But don't think you can go and steal NZ's sheep and take them to POM-land!! [smiley=icon_twisted.gif]

You'll have to deal with Al Sheepa and our non violent torture (which is much worse than violent torture).

[MotherBear]

I should sue you for negligence and pain & suffering!!! ?8-)

Because if it was I'll sue you for speculating!!! I'll sue your whole family, and your mum's cats!!!

Is this the American 'sue first, ask questions later' attitude coming out in you, James?

Sulfur in Florida water? I would have thought hard water from all the limestone would be the problem there.

It sounds as though community water supplies in NZ haven't been required to treat the water or otherwise ensure its safety -??? Fortunately most, if not all, of the NZ water we drank tasted good and didn't make us sick.

OF COURSE NOT!!! 8-)

I'll sue you for ensenuating such a thing. The truce is between Taffy and myself. I'm still coming after you and your cat(s)! [smiley=icon_twisted.gif]

;)

I hereby declare that I have never sued anyone, and would rather not in my lifetime.....unless someone does something I don't like

Well, it's a long story involving an old dump behind our old house and the abundant underground water that could be "sulfurized".

It's not that abundant though. Sinkholes can be a bit of a problem when some of them dry up.

NZ water seems to be very safe. But I do tend to think that maybe they don't treat it as much as the US (b/c they don't have to). But that time may be coming.

And yes, Christchurch water came straight from wherever it's source was....it tasted very nice.

We're waiting! Claws are sharpened, teeth are gnashing. Bring it on!

Secret weapon.

I tawt I saw a putty cat!!



I did! I did!!

Wouldn't this legal attack on MB's cats cause a rift with Al Qittya? Remember that cats and sheep are allies in this.

I thought the same thing.

However I'm acting as an individual. My group has no knowledge of my impending lawsuit of.....

Why am I sueing again? [smiley=icon_eek.gif]

Do they put anything like fluoride in the public water supply?

'Upstart' Waikato dentist against fluoride
09 February 2006

A Waikato dentist is urging Hamilton City Council not to support fluoridation because he says there is so much doubt about its safety and effectiveness. Cambridge dentist Vernon Kruger has broken ranks with colleagues who last week warned of increased pain and cost if fluoride was scrapped. The city council has commissioned a phone survey starting today before it considers whether fluoridation should continue.

Dr Kruger ? who has been branded "anti-everything" by a Waikato Dental Association spokesman ? said he believed it was unethical to force-feed a toxin like fluoride to the population. He said there was too much controversy and too many unanswered questions about the impact of fluoridation on health for it to continue. "We took an oath not to do harm to the patient. I believe it's our responsibility as medical professionals not to do harm."

Dr Kruger said sodium fluoride, most commonly used to fluoridate water, was extremely toxic. He said 200mg of the substance could kill a young child and a teaspoon could kill an adult. Dr Kruger, who runs Gentle Dental 2000 with branches in Cambridge, Hamilton and Matamata, admitted he was "a bit of an upstart" and didn't have much to do with other dentists. He is no longer a member of the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Dental Association. Dr Kruger said dentists were told in their training that fluoride was a good thing and that mercury in fillings was okay. He had since changed his view on both issues.

"No disease has been linked to fluoride deficiency. Humans can have perfectly good teeth without fluoride. I've yet to see any evidence that it actually works."

Dr Kruger said he regarded factors such as poor diet and lower socio-economic circumstances as having more bearing on levels of tooth decay and said he had been saddened by the number of children he treated whose teeth had been damaged by too much fluoride.

Waikato Dental Association spokesman Steven Pawley said Dr Kruger was "anti-everything" and "out on a limb by himself". He said support for fluoride was virtually unanimous among about 160 members of the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Dental Association. He said large amounts of water would need to be drunk to be harmful.

Mr Pawley said Colgate had a toothpaste containing 6000 times more fluoride than went into drinking water.
