Following up to Paul Rooney

Hang about - GM is good, isn't it?

that's very much a matter of opinion isn't it Paul?

Efficient crops, disease-resistant veg, etc.

Swallowed the hype then?

In what way are the crops more efficient?

Any evidence that it's
bad?

Well, The rats eating too many potatoes stuff was rubbish.
BUT the real and less exciting aspect is that it allows crops to be
sprayed
with even more herbicides.
There's evidence that thats bad.

You are lying in your teeth. Prove me wrong by pointing to any
scientific
paper which proves that glyphosate has deleterious effects on humans

if
used
correctly.

You seem to be assuming that I am talking about the effect on human
health.
I am not.

Then point me to a scientific paper which proves that glyphosate has any
deleterious effect on the ecological balance of where it is used,

excepting,
of course, for the eradication of plants not wanted by humans.


That's complete tosh fritz,


The name is Franz.


Fritz it is Fritz.

Was pops a commie spy or did he just desert?

It is a better sounding name than your "". How do you pronounce it?


with tongue in cheek.

Your remark is a certain indication that you have lost steam.

why should he,


Because I am a scientist


Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

Nice one you kraut, commie ****. That'll really impress the guys.

and I require scientific evidence if I am to be
convinced of the sinfulness of modifying the genes of a plant under
controlled conditions rather than by the haphazard style of mother nature.


we all know how to drive
without seeing the blueprints.


Analogies are useless, more often than not. This one is more useless than
usual.

We read the warnings from the likes of
greenpeace and take heed.


Many of the issues raised by greenpeace are entirely valid, and have my full
support. On the question of GM foodstuffs they are out on a limb with no
scientific backup at all.

If you have a valid argument against the
science I suggest you take it up with the scientists involved & stop
boring the pants off us here.


I am sorry to hear that your pants are being bored off. You could put an
end to it by producing some evidence in favour of your stance. You have not
so far produced any scientific statement with any backing whatsoever.
Do try, if you wish to carry on further with this


Amusing myself at your expense, I dont need to try.

You taking the **** or what? ha ha ha. what is it you do there,
gardening?

To assume that I speak for the University of Dundee is to be

deluded.

If you advertise the fact, then you do, otherwise lose the
assosciation. Have they authorised you to talk a load of ******** on
their behalf?


I interpret this to mean that he is exercising his rights of academic
freedom to express a view not unrelated to his area of expertise as a
member of a university. I would be most concerned if he was only able

to
speak when authorised by his university.

I realise that this may be an alien concept to some people employed in
companies, or even employed by some government institutions, but it is

a
concept still defended in universities. As a fellow academic I would
defend his right to express his views even though I may not agree with
the opinions he expresses.

It has nothing to do with free speech. Peter Ashby can say what he
wants, when he wants and where he wants as far as I am concerned, I
would defend that right too.

Bragging how big his dick is, the fact that the university is
sponsoring him and that we are paying for it is completely unnecessary
to promoting free speech. If the comments are not on behalf of the
uni, don't advertise it then.


Oh dear, poor Pete.


pete who?

Once again he's come up against someone who isn't
afraid of the light and doesn't live in an attic posting with either
imaginary names or no ****ing name at all.


I know, I like old Ashby, he's a tart but he stands up for himself,
unlike you.

Perhaps those of us who don't
lie,


That counts you out goat ****er.

don't stalk others on usenet, etc.


And again sister screwer.

don't actually have a need to hide
their identity.


But you sorely wish you had.

Indeed other than myself the only individual I've ever
encountered on usenet who saw fit to post my address


So what's the big deal?

Most of us do.

What makes publishing private details dangerous is when lunatic

Not to mention the virus, credit card fraud, Dos attacks and other

For Christ's sake **** off and leave everyone here alone.


Shame you cant handle social intercourse saunby, maybe that's what

Strange attitude. Theres all sorts of strange things growing in my garden.
No doubt you'd hate the wasp farm at the bottom of my garden too.

ie. more extreme control and more extreme monoculture.


Why bring monoculture into the argument?
The use of glyphosate and pursuing a practice of monoculture are separate
questions.


By no means. Most of the real arguments about GM are about how we are led
further down the garden path in that respect.

And WTF are you doing growing glyphosate resistant plants if you do not want
a savage monoculture?

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?

I take it that you don't believe in the efficacy of weeding your garden.

It
must be a sad, weedy lot.


Strange attitude. Theres all sorts of strange things growing in my

garden.
No doubt you'd hate the wasp farm at the bottom of my garden too.

ie. more extreme control and more extreme monoculture.


Why bring monoculture into the argument?
The use of glyphosate and pursuing a practice of monoculture are

separate
questions.


By no means. Most of the real arguments about GM are about how we are led
further down the garden path in that respect.

And WTF are you doing growing glyphosate resistant plants if you do not

want
a savage monoculture?


You have no idea of what constitutes a monoculture.

My country of birth produces a very wide range of vegetable foodstuffs.
Most of those farms would be more productive if glyphosate resistant
varietes of plants were available.

So you are now making no claims about it being bad for the environment.
You are simply talking about how good it is for industrialised farming.

Odd.
