This is such a boring fallacious argument. Are you seriously suggesting that over the last 2,500 years there have never been any changes to any generation of children/youths due to any circumstances? Of course not; that's a ridicu

The same discussion happened in Netherlands in the 70s, and water in NL is no longer fluoridated since the 70s for that reason. So it's not that "US-specific". I don't know about other countries from the top of my head.

I'm surprised; I don't recall the reception being that negative/muted at the time. Wikipedia seems to agree: "Fallout 2 was well received by critics, who praised its gameplay and storyline, and considered it a worthy suc
