GMO seeds are a pretense to get farmers to buy MORE Roundup. It's not just a baseline level of chemical abuse that may have been present 30 or 40 years ago but an ESCALATION above and beyond what was done before.
GMO -> more chemicals sprayed on your food.
Plus GMO crops contaminate everything. They're like an untrained dog that shits in everyone's yard. Except patents allow for the dog's owner to take your house.
> No you don't you advocate for mislabeling GMO crops that are proven to be perfectly safe.
No. You're just a lying sack of shit and a corporate toadie.
In no universe does full disclosure equal "mislabeling". It might be ugly but that's your problem not mine. As a buyer, I have a right to know what I'm buying. That's a pretty well settled idea that goes back to around Magna Carta.
Telling the truth runs into the "Bismark" problem that you may not want to know how the sausage is made. That's not an issue of dishonesty thought. That's just an indication that you are up to no good.
If something is called "Roundup Ready", then pointing it out as such is not misleading or mislabeling. It's just inconvenient to your corporate overlords.
Remember. The major proponents of GMO crops are not really seed companies. They aren't farmers or agronomists. They are herbicide companies that want to sell more herbicide.
More likely than not, a GMO crop is just a pretense to put more poison in your food.
I advocate proper labeling so that I can determine whether or not such an allergy might be a problem. There are a number of foods and food additives that the industry doesn't want you to know about because you might turn your back on them.
That's corporate profits being held in higher esteem than the health of individuals.
That's just what happens when you declare corporations to be people and actual humans to some sort of underclass.
No. This is legislation that clearly fixes a non-problem while giving the government the pretense to meddle in areas where they weren't meddling before and where there is no compelling reason for hem to do so.
The SEC was created to prevent the Great Depression from happening again. It wasn't just randomly created because some do-gooders thought it would be a good idea to expand the role of government. The SEC exists as a reactive measure to a very particular set of circumstances.
How does crowd funding fit into those circumstances.

Nope. Video shows you all of Hollywood's ugly skin conditions in all of their frightening glory. Although you don't even need 4K for that. Just regular 1080p will give you that effect.
Sometimes, you really don't want to see everything.
This is about politics rather than science. The corporate shills want to make this strictly about food safety in order to distract from the abuses of companies like Monsanto.
Any regime that doesn't allow for a farmer to save and replant his own seeds needs to be torn down, burned, and then bombed.
Even before GMO foods were invented we allowed a lot of produce to rot in this country for various reasons. The problem isn't that we don't have enough land or good enough seed stock. Feeding people (or not) usually has to do more with local politics and who controls the land.
It's like how the entire Irish potato famine was very avoidable.
Even the areas where he was kind of right also touched on things that aren't really all that different between then and now. On the one hand, his idea of automated meals didn't quite pan out but they already had TV dinners back then anyways.
Plus there is still this annoying air gap between the freezer and the stove and ZERO inter-device integration.
Even if I wanted a TV dinner warm and ready when I step into the house, there would still be that air gap and integration problem.
> but XP was mostly very badly received on geek sites like Slashdot
XP was what Win95 should have been but 6 years late.
Whatever other faults it had, it at least had the fact that it was a proper OS going for it. The "they have bloated NT" problem is not just restricted to XP. The same thing happened with NT4.
> Sure. We are to believe that Tim Landers...perfect Lemming tactic. Ignore the message if you don't like it. That's what's made Windows the festering pile that it is today.
A PC is a random collection of spare parts and Windows itself gives you no way to determine what kind of franken-box you have on your hand.
It's almost like Microsoft expects everyone to get their OS preloaded.
> With the same security a credit card provides if you get mugged?
Better even. Theft of cash doesn't leave me open to identity theft. While cash represents a fixed amount of loss that will never be recovered, it is a finite amount. I don't have to worry about ALL of my resources being drained. Nor do I have to worry about fighting with banks or credit card issuers or collections agencies to ensure that "security measures" are properly applied.
Spying is fine. The real problem is the fact that your hiding it. What this really shows is that you are just as ashamed of it as everyone else here expects you to be. You're not man enough to do this kind of stuff out in the open.
It's like uniformed police in marked cars versus the Gestapo.
Both of these sound like he needs some sort of "cloud" solution that is local to his home and work environment. Remotely accessing the PC is just overkill.
Share files? Samba/CIFS.
Watch TV? Install client for your streaming service or cable provider.
Were you trying to be ironic or was that an accident?
Liberty and equality aren't just for the people you like. Making exceptions for "bad people" or excuses for "corporations" ARE the kind of nonsense that lead to Fascism.
No. I sounds like one exceptional moron decided to go on a power trip. This is like that bitch at the American Airlines counter that can decide that you aren't flying today.
The Supremes are already busy ensuring that individuals have no recourse and that only corporations have any rights. So it would be situation normal for them.
Is this an actual religous organization though or is it just a wholy owned subsidiary of a Church? At what point does such a subsidiary become a secular entity? The mormon church owned Pepsico at one point in time? Would that mean that Pepsico gets a "religious exemption".
That's absurd of course.
Being owned by a church doesn't make you a church.

The collateral damage done by evil GMO corporations far outweigh the advantages of something like "Golden rice" that's redundant anyways.
Only an idiot that knows nothing about farming or vegetables would get excited about something as silly as "Golden rice".

They don't seem to really.

Which is exactly WHAT for a municipal library?
This isn't some college library and is likely far less interesting in any way you could mention.

Don't be so dismissive of recipes.
The 2nd thing that the printing press was used for was recipes.

I cut the cord because the spouse objected to subsidizing Duck Dynasty.
As far as "saving money" goes, the spouse doesn't care how much I spend on content if it's something we choose to support.
Avoiding much of the baggage that comes with credit cards is the most effective way to ensure that you actually have the $1000 around to worry about.
It also works equally well if you want to be some sort of 19th century merchant or landlord.
