It's what the american public doesn't know that makes them the american public...

-Someone in the Tommy Boy movie.

In an extremely crowded situation, possibly.you'd be surprised how quickly humans notice other humans lying down and bleeding.

Knives are scary, and in the right hands, a very effective short range weapon, but comparing them to a device that can accelerate projectiles to above the speed of sound is just silly.

I'm not sure you understand what a hybrid seed is.

It's a cross of two stable (true breeding) plant strains. The first generation has what is called hybrid vigor, which means it grows much better and stronger tan either of its parents. However, in the next generations, these hybrids lose the vigor, and tend to lean towards one or the other parent.. often plants not chosen because of their high quality, but for the high quality of their hybridized offspring.

Hybridizing doesn't require fancy facilities or equipment, just some decent plant husbandry skills.

So wind won't blow that pollen into their hives?

measurable .. sigh

They've been shown to cause no mesurable harm in the short term, they haven't existed for long enough for any long term studies.

Anyone that says GMO is fine is lying.

Anyone that claims that GMO is deadly is lying.

The evidence that ONLY time can provide will give us that answer.

The only intellectually honest answer is "we don't have enough evidence to say either way".

Things like adding charcoal to poor and/or depleted soil have been proved to improve yields considerably (of course, better results from crappier soil).. I haven't yet found the exact study, but some arican farmers saw a 70% increase.. no hybrid seeds, or inorganic ferts necessary.

Did find this:

which talk up the possibilities.

School hall, you just stabbed two kids to death, they're bleeding out on the floor, how long will the other kids remain unaware?

Here's a great thought exercise for you.

2 men, both same age, same general physique, etc.

In scenario 1, man #1 has a gun, how much good will running away do man #2?

In scenario 2, man #1 has a knife, how much good will running away do man #2?

Come back when you realize how dumb your argument sounds to anyone with a functioning brain stem.

Which is why he's proposing curtailing access to them, not the tool itself.

Do you always have problems understanding when people talk about guns?

No pizza, pasta and tagliata?

I'll live with a few extra pounds and enjoy my time on the planet, thanks.

Certainly, perky tits are worth paying for a substandard imitation of something your body creates for free..

Where they weighed you on arrival at the planet, and on departure.. except now they'll make you pass your swimming costume over a sieve before leaving the beach.

There must be some massive cognitive dissonance going on in media circles at the moment..
