    In the states that have deposits on plastic bottles, food stamp recipients (some) are buying the water, dumping it out & cashing in on the deposit. Google "food stamp scam water dumping" to find out more.

    Pathetic, huh?

    Not as good of a scam as buying Game Consoles, getting a 50 dollar gift card and returning the Game Consoles and keeping the gift card. But whatever floats your boat.

    Water with flouride in it was destroying the planet long before bottled water, which I prefer since it is flouride free. I'm not much for wanting industrial waste in my water.

    When you can't even sell your food stamps for 50 cents on the dollar anymore, you know shit is fucked up.

    Sure plastic and human trash covering the planet is doing a little more damage than flouride

    I'm not being "forced" to swallow plastic and human trash, unlike the flouride.

    Things I would buy from a crackhead:

    verified gold coins
    gift certificates
    profitable intellectual property (patents, trademarks)

    Things I would not buy from a crackhead:

    anything that goes in or near a bodily orifice (food, condoms, hookers/blow)
