Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment

Freggy writes "In Belgium, a group of activists calling themselves the Field Liberation Movement has destroyed a field which was being used for a scientific experiment with genetically modified potatoes. In spite of the presence of 60 police officers protecting the field, activists succeeded pulling out the plants and sprayed insecticides over them, ruining the experiment. The goal of the experiment was to test potato plants which are genetically modified to be resistant to potato blight. It's a sad day for the freedom of scientific research."

It was a blight-resistant potato field, you half-witted fucktard.

No, it MIGHT HAVE BEEN a blight-resistant potato field. It might also have had some other genetic anomaly that attacks and wipes out all other potatoes even a single grain of pollen from this field comes in contact with. Our race has a long history of thinking it is smarter than nature and being proven very, very wrong.

Sure is funny how those who use the term "fucktard" are usually the less-learned ones.....

You know? You are a racist.

You say refuse to eat genetically modified food? Guess what. Every single thing you have ever eaten and every living thing you have ever seen including every single person you have ever met or even just read about is genetically modified.

Not only are every one of us, the result of a genetic experiment to make a close with mixed DNA from two different individuals, every one of us carries hundreds of mutations introducing new genes that are in neither of your parents.

But that's OK isn't it, genetic experiments and experimental genes are a-O-K when they are done by nature, but if it's done by those filthy humans? No THAT is not OK.

That is racism.
