Re:what do you mean by "kinks".
I'm talking about the fact that Roundup-ready corn, which is the genetically modified organism in this instance, will be pushed out by native species if we stop applying Roundup.
So invasive species don't exist? People would argue with you that native species will push out non native species, just ask some people about the Kudzu invasion between eastern Texas to the mid Atlantic states. Kudzu isn't native to the US, it was imported from Japan. Fact is is invasive species are a big deal in some places and there is concern GMO corn will pose a threat to native corn in Mexico as an invasive species. Here's an article on how "Biofuel Crops Could Become Superweeds".
You cannot feed 6 billion people through organic, non-GMO farming.
BS, the biggest reasons people starve is because of conflicts, politics, and subsidies. Farmers don't want to grow crops on fields where a battle is fought. Nor do they want what they grow to be taken from them, then they need distribute the food. Politicians, like President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe can take a country that's a breadbasket and produces more than enough food for it's population, food was Zimbabwe's main export and generated enough income to pay for any imports needed, before Mugabe came to power into a nation that needs aid. Once Mugabe came to power he forced most if not all of the white farmers off their land then gave the farms to his cronies. Now once fertile land is not able to produce enough, those the land was given to didn't know how to farm. Now Zimbabwe depends on foreign aid to feed the country. The third problem are the hugh subsidies the EU, Japan, and the US give to it's farmers. The billions of dollars in farm subsidies the US gives to US agribusinesses, Japan who gives about as much, and the EU who gives even more drive poor farmers off their farms in the Third World. How can a Mexican corn farmer compete with Cargill who receives billions and can grow then export to Mexico and sell corn there cheaper than a Mexican farmer can grow it? With few exceptions all those starving starve because of money and politics.
As for whether or not organic farming can feed the world, there are studies that conclude organic farming can indeed fee the world. Some studies conclude organics produce more in the same amount of place while other show it produces a little less. From University of Michigan, Organic farming can feed the world, U-M study shows". From the BBC: "Organic farming can 'feed the world'".
Fact is is Genetic Engineering and GMOs aren't needed to feed the world.

Re:Eating their own youngthey are off their rockers,
That should cover it, although there is this recent comment from a former canadian defense minister
: Former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer stated flatly in a speech in Toronto on September 25 that UFOs are not only real but that "current and past US activities risk "intergalactic war." Hellyer, Canada's Defense Minister from 1963-67, said, "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head."
He then went on to say that the current US effort to create a permanent moon base was to give American forces a better means of tracking and possibly shooting at UFOs, and that "the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war."
Of course, he would have no expertise whatsoever on the matter. And he could be a major league kook.
Take your pick
This might even count as a single shred

Re:Kim Peek & NASA
This isn't the only example of people without brains getting along just fine... It used to be that scientists thought these people were able to function normally with smaller brains since normal people used just 10% of their brain. However, that is largely a debunked idea.

Re:The truth is the America Military has a shadow
Learn to write English correctly. The bulk of what you have said is true, most people are brain washed by the media and believe every thing they are told. Alien life has been visiting Earth for thousands of years and most of the Slashdot community are aware of that. This is a good site. http://www.unknowncountry.com/ This is a great site. www.rense.com

Not a big deal
I mean, seriously, how can you not believe in UFOs when they are so prevalent that the Illuminati can't keep them out of Google maps?
This isn't exactly news. Nor is it really news that Iran is ordering its military to shoot them down. -
US Midwest not so safe either...
Here is another news source on the mega-tsunami . And, if you think you are better off living in Idaho or Montana or something like that, don't be so smug, Yellowstone may kill you there.

Re:This is New?
Why says cell phones don't have wind-ups available for them? They do. And they have some very interesting uses.
As for laptops, they consume too much power to be eligible for wind-up chargers or batteries right now. -
9 of 19 supposed hijackers are *still alive*
Taking links from a website I know cannot handle a Slashdotting:
Waleed M Alshehri - alive and well in Casablanca, Morocco
Marwan Al Shehhi - Alive; same link as above
Ahmed Alghamdi - Alive; same link as above
Wail M Alshehri - Alive
Ahmed Alnami - Alive; same link as above
Abdulaziz Alomari - Working for Saudi Telecom
Khalid Almihdar - alive and living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Salem Alhamzi - Working at a petrochemical company
Saeed Alghamdi - Alive; same link as above
We do not know who the hijackers actually were. -
Re:Shrub needs to learn what a computer is, first.From unknowncountry.com,
Eventually, Van Riper got so fed up with all this cheating that he refused to play anymore.
Notice how the two credits are both British? The whole article lacks a, uh, how should I say, sense of authenticity. Maybe an interesting read, but so was this.
Lieutenant General Van Riper (read: LtGen = O-9, second highest rank he can attain = he knows how to make himself look good + actually does) "refused to play" ? Please. By refusing to play, especially in the army, he's risking not only his career, but his retirement (and at LtGen, he's almost certainly gotten his 20 years in), prison (especially if its as high scale and high profile of an exercise as this article makes it seem) and eventually a dishonorable discharge that'd make it hard for him to get another job anywhere.
It's ridiculous to think that Iraq could win a war against the US. In the first 12 hours of the Gulf War, Iraq's chances of winning were gone. In 10 years, things have changed, but not that much. Iraq does potentially have the ability to hurt us (through casualties, if hey have any of these weapons of mass destruction we've heard so much about), but other than that, what do you think they could do? They can't even fly planes in the southern half of their country, let alone far enough to do anything to 1) a US military base, or even 2) one of the regional bases US forces are using.
That said, it'd be nice if something happened to prevent a war altogether.

Shrub needs to learn what a computer is, first.From the article:
By penetrating computer systems that control the communications, transportation, energy and other basic services in a country, cyber-weapons can have serious cascading effects, disrupting not only military operations but civilian life.
Okay, you're assuming that other less-developed countries have the same computer infrastructure that we do. What's next? We distrupt the one working computer in Somalia?The only countries this will work against are those that are like the US, and sorry, but despite our ethnocentric view of the world, most countries are not us except Canada and the UK (didn't turning on one's allies work for Hitler?).
This idea is not new. When the military staged a wargame where they tried this very same thing, they got their arse handed to them in a brown paper sack:
The officers refereeing the wargame told him that U.S. electronic warfare planes had zapped his microwave communications systems. "You're going to have to use cellphones and satellite phones now, they told me. I said no, no, no - we're going to use motorcycle messengers and make announcements from the mosques," [Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper, who played the role of Saddam Hussein] says. "But they refused to accept that we'd do anything they wouldn't do in the west.

Also good (and it's Free)TextFiles.com Conspiracy Files and Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country. Gotta love science with conspiracy.
TextFiles conspiracy files are a bit old but they are still a very interesting read. Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country covers a very broad spectrum of ideas and theories. Good stuff!
ahh the days of textfiles......
-tried to spell correctly this time. People seem to get irate with miss-typed comments.

Linda Howe Crop Circle Special on
Dreamland Tonight
25-Aug-2001
Linda Moulton Howe will present a one hour special tonight on
Dreamland about the developing crop circle situation in England.
The special will cover the Milk Hill fractal and the two Chilbolton
formations.
Noted crop circle researcher Charles Mallett will be her first guest,
discussing the new formations live with Linda and Whitley.
Her second guest will be Paul Vigny, Director of the
http://www.interalpha.net/customer/pvigay/,Indepen dent
Research Center for Unexplained Phenomena} in Hampshire,
England, who was the first person to recognize the relationship
between the Chilbolton schematic and the 1975 Arecibo radio
telescope transmission.
Courtesy of
This will be an in depth discussion of this unusual situation, and
will cover such issues as the implications of the circles and
whether or not the Chilbolton formations are genuine or hoaxed.
