Monsanto vs. Mother Earth
I been keeping an eye on Monsanto for some time. I think they could be pushing things a bit too far with their latest move!
'They’re trying to patent away our everyday vegetables and fruits like cucumber, broccoli and melons, forcing growers to pay them and risk being sued if they don’t.'

This an insidious company.
They'll be after the air you breathe next. -
Let them try patenting an apple with a bite out of it, they will get their ass sued fast and hard.
-
lol
Wouldn't that be a bout to watch

Monsanto had a nice ride in Disneyland in Tomorrowland where you shrank to the size of an atom. There was a big eye looking down a microscope at you when you were about bug size.
Fortunately there was nothing about pesticide. -
Monsanto is very dangerous, not for mother Earth only, but for humanity also. IMO it is a tool for dividing people in two groups - those who are controlled (including their number), and those who control. This movie is very informative: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1286537/?ref_=sr_1
...and lately so called "Monsanto Protection Act". What do you think about it?
USA is leading country in the world, so everything first happens there...and later spreads globally. So Monsanto is aggressively trying to break into the low of every country on Earth. -
That reminds me...has anyone ever modeled a tin foil hat?
-
Making tinfoil hat comments on this subject suggest to me that, like an unfortunate majority of Americans, you've made no effort to understand the issues.
-
nah I don't need to...we leave that to the whiney EUROPEAN experts on all topics like yourself.
-
Maybe Monsanto is pushing the envelope a bit. Maybe companies like them shouldn't exist. Maybe we should go back to the early 1930s with 20-30 bushel/acre corn yields instead of the current 130-140 bushels. The US can keep all of its crops instead of producing large quantities to give to other countries. And we can go back to eating fresh tomatoes only in the summer when they can be picked from your local garden. We can stop eating foods we can't grow in our own gardens and we can have food prices that will allow only the wealthy to eat if you don't grow it yourself.
-
Nice to see the world not letting these scumbags take over the food basket.
Ireland, Hungary, Russia, Peru, India, South Africa, France, Japan, Egypt and Switzerland have all banned Monsanto.

Thanks for the advert, but was there a point?
-
It's called a DIALOGUE...perhaps you prefer something else?
-
and this is called video.
-
-
Before engaging in a debate on issues that should be beyond one's personal politics lets at least agree on some facts.
-
That's your argument? I expected a scientist or a doctor or at least an adult. Being 11 and able to deliver an oration is impressive but hardly what I would call convincing in this particular case.
But...I can see how the EMO team would embrace it.
-
Thanks Pete for some excellent contributions and for proving to me that I was correct using the term "an unfortunate majority of" rather than "all".
-
The doctor presenting this science isn't 11 and the reading may be too long and boring but if you DO entertain educated opinions you might find it interesting.
