I am not aware of any trans culture either, although I am fairly isolated. I am 40. My bet is that you will not find a single trans writer reference trans culture. My guess is that it is a construct of the non-trans community. For what its worth, everyone I know seems to conjure up images of drag queens every time the…

To quoque.

Capitalism and sensible regulation/enforcement are not mutually exclusive. The government condones the practices we discussed due to the influence of lobbying and campaign contributions by these self same corporations, such as Monsanto. Corruption by any other name.

*laughs* I sort of thought that was maybe the case, but I wasn't sure.

I have no idea.

It is a false equivalency. Claim otherwise all you wish, but it does not make it so. Nice ad hominems by the way.

How perfectly equivalent.

In most cases I would completely agree with you, however in this instance I must take issue. Genetically Modified plants are very different than eggs, butter, or red meat. GMOs are living organisms that spread their own, modified DNA on the wind. If we genetically modified a breed of cow or chicken that turned out to…

Thank you for the information (that was an interesting article). I retract that particular statement. The rest of my points however, still stand.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. The drop in the Monarch butterfly population seems to be tied to BT corn. The disappearance of many amphibians seems to be tied to glyphosate (Roundup). The real kicker is that there are studies that indicate that GMOs are not actually more productive than traditional crops, but that…

Of course none of them want unbiased studies. Unbiased studies however, are exactly what is needed. No, it is not an admission that it is bad, but my point stands, consider the controversy surrounding GMO's. If these products are as safe as their backers maintained, they would allow studies to be performed in order to…

This argument is always brought up. Genetic modification is most definitely different than selective breeding. GM introduces DNA that is alien to the plant in question, whereas selective breeding does none of this. I do not want to come off as anti-GMO, however very little testing has been done, and corporations like…
