does nobody here see or read what I post???????
If you mean this: http://skeptico.blogs.com/skeptico/genetic_engineering/
I did and I posted a reply but later retracted it as it was really nasty.
So, let me challenge you to read the replies, one will destroy everything he said and send him into hiding.
Oh, by the by I never prefaced before but if you go to my Google profile (the one they used to introduce me to Base camp) I have a MSC , masters degree in food science (majored in organic sugars, worked confectionery for over a decade in Johannesburg for international companies), which does not make me a master but I do understand these issues (I assumed you knew this).
Feel free to disregard my opinion based on who I am and what I believe, but all I ask is to have an open mind to search the facts and truths, do not believe a source that has an agenda.

what, no cheering for Boston?

Farmers aren't forced to use Monsanto seeds.
Using GM seeds doesn't ruin the soil and make it only suitable for GM seeds.
Using GM seeds increases production..decreases fertilizer...increases resistance to insects and disease...
GM seeds makes food cheaper.If you actually did some research you'd know that:
- Monsanto makes roundup. The repeated use of roundup makes the soil toxic to "normal" seeds.
- Monsanto makes seeds resistant to their own herbicide. Those seeds are patented, you can only get them from Monsanto.
Therefore you are correct that GM seeds do not ruin the soil.
Using GM seeds does do the things you say. But let's conveniently ignore cross-pollination and the fact that once nature adapts (and nature ALWAYS adapts)the bugs will ignore the modifications and weeds will overcome the herbicides, you will conveniently be forced to buy the next-gen Monstanto product. Or starve. Ignore the super-bugs and -weeds that start invading non-GMO fields too. Guess they can buy Monsanto's products too. Or starve. -

What the heck's that supposed to mean?
I assumed it's a baseball thing and not today's events.

Hope so.

I think it might be a real sensible idea to retract that.

Did you have a drink or 10 too many...?
What kind of argument is that...??
Grow up...!

In less than an hour people were claiming the USA deserved it.
They weren't tea partiers.

Really?
But we did get Fox news (tea party member) contributors doing this..

And how about this:

was he over reacting?

Dollard is right on!

Wow!! seriously wow!! you are one sick hateful person, without any confirmation you have decided an entire group of people have no right to exist.
And this does not define you?

Quick history lesson 9-11 was on G W Bush's watch...just saying.

Hard to believe that we're from the same planet...
We're definitely not on the same page and far from being in the same book...!Michael... How can you say such stupid things...??
How can you claim that Dollard is "right on"...??
How can Barac Obama get blamed for such an act...??
How can you agree that GWB kept US safe for 8 years...?
Why don't you blame GWB for the 911 attack...?
Why did it happen during his period...?
What kind of argument is this...?Neighter GWB nor Barac Obama can be blamed for acts of terrorism...
It's cowards and extremists who are doing such things...!A few Muslims are extremists, and likewise there's extremists among other people - being it religion or politics - they're are from all nationalities...
Extremists cannot put things into perspective...!
They're psychopaths who have a particular believing and regardless of what you tell them, they continue to believe that they're right...With the behavior and arguments you've shown in this thread, I fear that you're an extremist...!
