1. What do you like best about Bernie?

Can you list your favorite issues that Bernie supports?

[NCTraveler]

3. Who?

Is someone running against Clinton. With the attacks against her recently I wasn't aware it was in support of someone else on our side.

[NCTraveler]

2. Anti-GMO = Anti-Science. Nt

[oasis]

8. Certain DUers suddenly have their hair on fire about everything Monsanto.

[NCTraveler]

9. I'm no fan of Monsanto. To be anti-GMO is just flat earth stuff.

Like the gun industry, I don't think we should be giving Monsanto special protections.

[NCTraveler]

11. "GMO's are not harmful?" Foolish absolute statements I never made for $200 Alex. nt

[JaneyVee]

16. Do you realize GMOs have nothing to do with pesticides?

GMOs actually cut down on pesticide use.

[GeorgeGist]

32. Do you realize that RoundUp is an herbicide?

[Armstead]

23. Very clever tying that to the gun issue

I actually agree with you to the extent that GMO's are a debatable issue.

But tying it to guns to slam Sanders and those who support him? Cone on you can make your point without having to use that kind of cheap shot.

What bothers me most is that Monsanto is a horrible company that is not content to stay within bounds, It is overreaching, in an attempt to assert way too much control over too many aspects of life, including the production of food. And in the process they are cutting off options for an actual debate about GMO's, and alternatuves and also in the process, trying to force all agriculture to fit their corporate mold.

That's the kind of corporate Robber Baron behavior that is at the root of so many problems, and why Cinton's close ties to them are reason enough not to see her bring them into the WH.

26. REad abut them.

15. Absolutley true about pro-gmo being anti science.

I haven't seen any absolutists promoting pro gmo here. Only flat earthers promoting the absolute anti gmo side. Hence my comment. I'm all about GMO's and the research being done. There is no absolute comment there as you are attempting to spin.

4. Hmmm... that's not enough to make me want to change my vote.

(But the "you have been warned" emphasis was a nice touch. It almost had me convinced.)

[NurseJackie]

17. I understand that different people have different priorities. This one is near the bottom of my list

Thank you for the courteous reply.

[MohRokTah]

5. No thanks, I prefer to support science. eom

[MohRokTah]

19. Nope, science is not telling us GMOs are bad.

That's pseudoscience telling us GMOs are bad.

GMOs are not "bad". Science has proved this time and again. Anti-science idiocy disagrees, much like climate change deniers.

Glyphosate is an herbicide. It is not a GMO. You are confused about the reality in this.

[silenttigersong]

34. Seems this

argument ties into the TPP and seed patents (GMOs)in other words food control- through cooperate agriculture.I am not a scientist but the research about roundup is easily googelble.

[JaneyVee]

6. GMOs can cure global hunger.

What's the alternative? Global population will hit 9 billion soon. What's your plan to feed them all?

[JaneyVee]

20. Global poverty exists most in places with no fertile ground.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Maybe he believes in the Malthusian catastrophe./nt

[Agschmid]

25. That is a personal attack.

You should edit it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. If he or she is here long enough to do so.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. He should have heeded your advice.

eom

[Agschmid]

38. He will be back I am sure.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. Me too...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. It was also a grossly disproportional response to my post.

It is also pusillanimous when launched from an alt/sock. He probably had lots of built up aggression.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. You seem upset...

Maybe you cannot contribute constructively because you are too stupid

I am very willing to discuss your point of view on the subject matter...that is, if you have a point of view. . By the way, which class are you in now, Grade 1 or 2? Hopefully, someone can teach you about ad hominen attacks being the ultimate expression of someone who is incapable of understanding or contributing to the issue being discussed. Enjoy the rest of your day

The irony of decrying ad hominem attacks while making several oneself is amusing...

Enjoy the rest of your day

Bank on it. Enjoy your stay.

[Armstead]

30. Corporate Monopolies are not the solutin to global hunger

Yes big companies can bring advances and good products.

But that's a whole lot different than a handful of monopolistic global corporations trying to force all food production into a straitjacket to create captive markets and control all aspects of the food system'

7. I support science, thank you.
