Nope, you don't oppose GMO's. You oppose the modern Industrial-Agricultural complex.
There's a difference between a technology and how it is used.

Well I did say I don't oppose GM didn't I?

*EDIT
Bollocks to that, I typed the opposite. Addendum, this is what I meant.

Can we just call it the industrial-everything complex and be done with it?

[mastahcheese]

I just randomly got this very strong urge to do some wild and reckless, and I don't know why. 0_o
It doesn't seem very much like me.

The GMO cross-breeding escape happens all the time. What's so bad about it is that Monsanto can then sue the poor sucker who caught the leaks. It's how they've got to control a scary fraction of the world's food supply.

Find me a source for that.

Looks like I may have been brainwashed without realising it. Thanks for enlightening me (and to scrdest).

3. Alternatives are available, yet the lobby wants to strangle out all competition in...

Isn't this the same problem (+/- alternatives) the hollywood-based industries and isps usually end up related to as well?

[scrdest]

Whenever I see something being 'dominant' or 'modal' I'm thinking of perfect fifths and scales-based stuff, respectively. I think I'm spending too much time reading about music theory.

This kind of stuff keeps happening to me way to often, with very varied subjects in question. Amino acids and statistics joined the mix lately.

Would it surprise you that I wish to see the destruction of Hollywood and the abolishment of any lobby that would seek to choke the internet to death?
*Google wishes to change abolishment to establishment. I'm watching you, Google. Two may play that game.

There is an IRC room.

"Libertarians" pshaw, they just bitches that can't handle the fact they anarchists.

Also I have apparently become gangsta in the past ten seconds somehow.

[hops]

Libertarians are just liberals who think they're in the 90s.

Also the emotion threads are kind of like general threads, and the irc for the lower boards is #bay12lb on irc.darkmyst.org:6667.

No, they are most definitely anarchists who are too pussy to admit it.
