We do what we've always done. progressoid Apr 2016 #8

Some context... HuckleB Apr 2016 #30

I'm not interested in arguing about nomenclature. nt bemildred Apr 2016 #54

Not with you. nt bemildred Apr 2016 #60

And you prefer to live in a fantasy world. HuckleB Apr 2016 #64

Much prefer. nt bemildred Apr 2016 #65

DU Rec for science! Dr Hobbitstein Apr 2016 #9

Ugh, the Food Babe. progressoid Apr 2016 #13

Fuck GMOs and the corporate boot-licking stooges R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #11

Fuck anti-science fear mongering. progressoid Apr 2016 #12

Donald Trump couldn't have said it better. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #14

Actually, he's on your side on this issue. progressoid Apr 2016 #16

I love it when the anti-science crowd's arguments backfire. Dr Hobbitstein Apr 2016 #18

LOL! And you believe him!!?? R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #19

Doubling down on the ad hominem eh? progressoid Apr 2016 #20

Oh, no. I'm just pointing out your using a lying R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #22

Ah, and now a double standard. progressoid Apr 2016 #23

GMO is a scourge on wild plants. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #24

The same thing happens with other traditionally hybrid plants too. So? progressoid Apr 2016 #25

Non-GMO plants become contaminated: ruining who crops. It's pretty easy science stuff to see. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #37

Have you ever spent any time on a farm? progressoid Apr 2016 #50

He surely hasn't, but you can bet that his organic tomato plot debunks your posts! HuckleB Apr 2016 #51

And apparently links are always corporate links. progressoid Apr 2016 #52

Yeah, except for Whole Foods links. Those aren't corporate at all!!!! HuckleB Apr 2016 #53

Yeah, you couldn't be much more offensive or wrong. HuckleB Apr 2016 #34

"So, what's your point again?" R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #35

Ah, so you're going to use the usual parroted nonsense. HuckleB Apr 2016 #36

Oh, you have blue links. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #38

So you really can't discuss the issue at all. HuckleB Apr 2016 #40

Cry me a fekkin river if you don't like it. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #42

In other words, you haven't bothered to learn what has been shown you. HuckleB Apr 2016 #44

Oh, more corporate-friendly blue links. Who would have guessed? R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #46

Ah, so you think science and evidence are "corporate friendly." HuckleB Apr 2016 #49

One is a means to an end that is not always on the R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #57

And you appear to be supporting the unscrupulous, at least currently. HuckleB Apr 2016 #58

Ah, the "I'm rubber you're glue" response... R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #68

Only if you ignore the content above that you have chosen to ignore. HuckleB Apr 2016 #70

I choose to ignore corporate propagandists R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #73

Yes, it's best that you ignore all plausible things, indeed. HuckleB Apr 2016 #74

fine alan2102 Apr 2016 #62

In other words, you have no actual response. HuckleB Apr 2016 #63

I could support GMOs and the companies that produce them if... HassleCat Apr 2016 #26

Yeah, if that were true, it would be a problem. However... progressoid Apr 2016 #27

Anti-GMO is just religion. There is no basis for it. Plus healthier limes and oranges? HuckleB Apr 2016 #28

Oh nooo! Frankenfoooooods!! progressoid Apr 2016 #33

The more I see from the anti-GMO advocates, the more I'm convinced... Archae Apr 2016 #31

It's nothing short of bizarre in a fantastic manner. HuckleB Apr 2016 #32

You're doing a great job clutching at pearls. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #39

Awwww. Cute. You can't discuss the issue, and offer even more pointless responses instead. HuckleB Apr 2016 #41

Have fun with your corporate-friendly blue links. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #43

I know I work to help the planet and its life forms move forward. HuckleB Apr 2016 #45

Hah! So you do work for the corporation. Thanks! R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #47

Dude. You really are a boring guy. HuckleB Apr 2016 #48

Put me on ignore if you can'tstomach it, dude. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #56

And let your fictions go by with a free ride? HuckleB Apr 2016 #59

Have a nice unscrupulous corporate organic marketing deceptions day. HuckleB Apr 2016 #71

No thanks. I'm not interested in the bunk you're selling. R. Daneel Olivaw Apr 2016 #72

You have to keep your fantasy world isolated. HuckleB Apr 2016 #75

You would be surprised how many people have changed their minds because of the discussions. HuckleB Apr 2016 #92

Sadly it is unpopular. progressoid Apr 2016 #77

The disconnect is still fairly astounding. HuckleB Apr 2016 #83

If this is really true, then great. I have no problem with GMO technology per se. However, Fast Walker 52 Apr 2016 #78

Bt corn does just what you are asking. progressoid Apr 2016 #80

which is good-- as long it is safe Fast Walker 52 Apr 2016 #81
