Russia bans GMOs

That was my reasoning right there. The links were just extra. As in, backing up my argument. Whether you agree that GMOs are dangerous or not, what's the harm in knowing what foods have them?

 

Because most of them don't know what they are eating and trust a unknown source that in the end of its scheme, it kills you and the children quicker so you were deceived into something that ended your life sooner than you deserve.

Times in this world are not about what choice we have, but if we know anything about something to make the right choice.

 

A news story about GMO and the need for pesticides.

This problem resembles that of anti-bacterial hand soaps for consumers that were popular for a number of years. They are effective at killing certain types of bacteria but they also give the most antibiotic-resistant bacteria an opportunity to proliferate and mutate after the less resistant bacteria have been removed. They pose other problems also.

A plan that seems good initially sometimes produces unforeseen problems after it has been implemented.

 

In 2013 Japan and South Korean temporarily banned imports of wheat from the U.S. after detecting GMO wheat in the imports. It apparently originated from a strain of GMO wheat that Monsanto experimented with in the 2000's. It's not known how the strain ended up growing in farm areas of Oregon. Such contamination is a major business concern for wheat producers in the U.S because it can precipitate such a negative response from other countries.

Modern cultivated wheat is polyploid and its genome is said to be more complex than the human genome. There is an attractiveness about GMO wheat since it's a major cash crop like corn and soy, but its complexity make it a formidable challenge to genetically modify it to produce a desired result.

There are other unforeseen problems, such as GMO alfalfa being transported unintentionally by the weather to other farms and contaminating non-GMO crops. They have the potential to precipitate the banning of imports of U.S. crops by other countries.

I'm not arguing that labelling which foods contain GMOs is a bad thing, I think it is a good idea, actually. I'm just wondering why you believe GMOs are bad? You didn't really explain that, and I'm curious. You talked about antibiotics, but that is a separate issue.

 

I don't believe that anyone should be messing with the integrity of the DNA of nature. There's other reasons, but why bother? Obviously you disagree. And why am I the only one getting chewed out over this?

 

If anyone doesn't believe there's health risks associated with GMO's, read Jeffrey Smith's Seeds of Deception -- a truly informative read. The limited studies that have been done on the effects of GMOs have shown blood and organ abnormalities in rats, and we know for a fact that the nutritional content of GMO crops is often greatly reduced. This is a proven fact. Even if GMO's were said to be completely safe, and I would never be convinced that they are, who wants to eat something that's been tampered with by humans working in a laboratory? There is something incredibly wrong with humanity if they can tolerate, much less be in support of something like this, in my opinion.

The fact is, the government isn't going to spend much money testing the safety of something they're trying to push on the public (as if they could give a fuck about the public). They're just going to tell us that it's safe, and people will believe it, because most of the general public lacks the capacity to think critically for themselves. This is why the US is one of the only countries were people tolerate their food not being labeled accordingly. GMOs are simply a crime against every living species on this planet. What corporations like Monsanto are doing is nothing short of pure evil. They are truly among the scum of the earth.

So if you like being fed lies, then keep on gobbling down that GMO corn and soy thinking it's good for you. Might as well pop an aspirin and some Lipitor while you're at it as well. After all, it's safe. Official sources say so.

 

Sounds like you've fallen for the lines by John McCain and Fox News.
Homosexuality - this is not banned, and there is less "sexual repression" than in much of the US. Its illegal to promote homosexuality to kids, as it is with any other sexual practice. Which is entirely normal Much as Britain did in the 1990s.
BTW the anti-promotion law all happened after a homosexual parade in St Pburg. Many acts of public indecency were committed infront of young kids and their mothers. If that hadn't happned, the law prob wouldn't have been passed. So you can thank some activists for that one..
Syria - well America wanted to support Al Qaeda and bomb the fuck out of Syria because its president wont allow a US base there. Which would be the THIRD US committed genocide in 15yrs.
Corruption- all happened as a result of the American advice of "shock capitalism" in the 90s. Putin is managing to rein in the corrupt oligarchs. The ones America laughably describes as "political refugees".
Enron, Bush, Madoff, tent cities,Credit Crunch, mass poverty, wrongful executions, Wall St, GMO, graduate poverty, Big Pharma, Iraq etc - none of these were examples of *Russian* corruption
Strong leader - well Russians like a strong leader. They need one so that the corrupt oligarchs/US multinationals dont pillage it, as happened in the Yeltsin years. Are you saying you know Russia better than the Russians themselves? I suspect u might not.
Arrogance - Hmm like Bush's 2 genocides. Obama overthrowing a democracy to install Nazi terrorists. Obama supporting terrorists in Syria and Libya. Then saying America "is exceptional" when it comes to the obeyance of international law... and bombing the fuck out of countries that aren't its bitch.

Hmm. You might want to change your newspaper...

 

This barely deserves mentioning, but Russian media critics of Putin are often shot or poisoned with Polonium. Of course the Russian media you hear is very pro-Putin.

There are some people in the world with a superpower called perspective, which means they can be critical of the wrongdoings of another without being blind to their own.

 

In what way am I chewing you out? And where did I say that I disagree with you? I'm just curious as to your reasoning. Asking you why you hold a certain opinion is not the same as attacking you.

I was honestly just wondering why you think that GMOs are bad, not trying to start a fight or anything.

Lode, will reply later. Busy at moment.

 

I'll take a look, thanks. I edited out the earlier post to keep the thread on topic.

 

...aren't you a heavy drinker and a daily toker?

 

From what I know, he quit drinking a while ago.

 

Because the government made him?

 

Probably not, but labelling of food and drinks makes sure that he is aware if anything he ingests has alcohol in it.

 

Nobody is arguing against labeling. He's advocating a ban.
