You are lying in your teeth. Prove me wrong by pointing to

any
scientific
paper which proves that glyphosate has deleterious effects

humans
if
used
correctly.

You seem to be assuming that I am talking about the effect on

human
health.
I am not.

Then state the things you think are bad about it or shut up.


Hmm. rather a narrow thinker if you can only do this in terms of

LD50.

Hmm, someone who cannot follow an argument since you imply above

that
effects on human health were not what you were hinting at.

There was no argument when I started off.
It was almost a brand new thread, and no hint it was on about human

health.

Since you did
not specify the nature of what may be 'bad' that I posted the LD50s

does
not in any way indicate that this is 'only' what I can do either.

OK you say you have a single track mind there and its all you can do.
Great.
A broader understanding of environmental ideas might help you here.
You fall into the same trap as most people in thinking its all about

human
health.

There was a hint I didn't mean that when I mentioned the potatoes.

Read up on what the RSPB thinks about this issue. Its to do with

effects
similar to those we already see with increased intensification of
farming.

Links? or maybe some indication of how herbicides are 'bad'? Or

maybe
you cannot actually substatiate that claim?

I'm surprised that you are willing to jump into such a discussion

without
knowing much of the basic concept.

Odd.


Where are those links, man?


You are a waste of time and an idiot.
Two seconds on google will get you loads of links.

"The RSPB are particularly concerned that the introduction of GM crops

could
exacerbate the serious declines in farmland wildlife and have a major

impact
on biodiversity. This is because the use of GM crops could radically

change
agricultural practice, and in the past the use of pesticides and the use

of
new types of crops have led to damaging impacts on wildlife."


Those are all suppositions. They might be right and they might be wrong.
Where is the scientific evidence, published in peer reviewed professional
journals?

By the way, agricultural practice has been changed radically on countless
occasions for the past 30 or 40 centuries, as a result of genetic
modifications introduced by natural mutations or by selective breeding
practiced by humans.
