    No not that severe. But maybe something more like a spiritual quest. It’s gotta be an ordeal with a high survival rate.

    I think martial arts should be taught in school for a similar ish reason.

    I see no reason that this is just for boys though. As a female who has undertaken difficult journeys for this reason, I can say they definitely

    They have a martial arts class for kids at the primary school across the road from me. I see them in their karategis/judogis.

    I feel the same way in terms of religion. I always say I'm spiritual. There are things I'd like to believe are true, but I can't presume to know anything beyond what's been proven. I wish people wouldn't use faith as a crutch or an excuse for heinous crimes against humanity. I think clinging to religion is just them coping with their fear of death. That's my theory anyway.

    I don't think so. Human numbers are increasingly multiplying. It will only become a bigger drain on everything.

    But i wonder why could these people only be saved by GM food? And will it be worth in the future. I mean going the GM route does have consequences

    we like to say things like that, and, yet, GMOs have directly alliveiated some of that burden. I believe human beings are capable of addressing their own population. The problem with be in the form of government and rich white people in suburbia campaining against the scienctific community using its knowledge to feed third-world nations.

    I think saving lives is always worth it.

    Such as?

    Not trying to be an ass, but your job only exists because of GMOs

    When you genetically modify an organism at the molecular level of splicing Deoxyribonucleic acids with two separate species, you are playing as god, and those Frankenstein crops can cross pollenate with others out in nature.

    What GMO companies are doing, is they are creating crops that don’t produce any new seeds. Which is requiring farmers to buy new seeds from the corporation every new season. Rather than allowing farmers to grow their own seeds for next year’s grow. This is how they exploit farmers in the third world the hardest.

    These GMO foods are designed to be pest resistant. How do they do that? By splicing corn, tomato, and other foods with toxins like scorpion venom to poison and kill the insects that try and eat this stuff. So they are basically feeding us trace amounts of poison. I’ve been inside a GMO laboratory, we have been required to wear face masks and rubber gloves because of these toxic chemicals. Toxic chemicals they’re putting in our foods.

    There are natural ways to modify and enhance food crops through breeding techniques. Corn and bananas used to be a lot smaller than they are today thanks to these breeding methods. It wasn’t done through altering the molecular DNA

    No worries, i know you're not. But how so?

    My job as distributing fresh dairy products exists because of pasteurization and plastic packaging. But not because of GMOs.

    We've been selectively breeding wolves for thousands of years, into dogs, some of which have horrific health issues because their health wasn't the desirable trait, we just wanted them to look cute.

    People don't seem to mind that, and it isn't even remotely about the health of mankind.
