America is a threat to world peace and a bully. Therefore they deserve to be beaten up. Who cares if the people are not the ones deciding for war but their government is? Their compliance makes them responsible for their government's actions. If they get nuked it's karma!
you realize you're saying this on a site provided by americans and brits, populated mostly by americans and brits, who most of the time agree that the usa needs to bring their soldiers home (and protest it, speak it loudly, say it all over the dang internet and on youtube all the dang time) and stay out of armed conflicts with other nations? we've had marches, protests, books, magazines, newspaper articles. you let me know when your government starts doing what you tell it to, k?
I personally think 547000 is a Indian Muslim caught between hating america and loving the islamic nations living in a non-islamic nation

I was illustrating how just because you are from a group, and some others from the group do something, it doesn't automatically implicate you of the same actions or motivations.

It is not slander to draw out your lack of knowledge. It's okay, we get your point: Wait on God, or go to hell if you don't. A very common and unimpressive position which serves evil quite well. Not saying you consciously serve evil, just that cowardice and ignorance do.
All good here, I see your position and the avoidance of the tough questions posed to you, thanks for being consistent.

Well well well...to quote your statement above in italic likewise...just because Americans who are part of the country but not affiliated with politics in anyway or form doesn't automatically implicate them of the same motivations as the politicians America doesn't deserve to be beaten up or nuked for that matter. Its some of the American Politicians that are the rotten ones who deserves to be voted out

Uh, that was sort of the point. I did not mean it, but I was pointing out the folly involved.

Congrats on killing the thread...your mission is accomplished.
Give yourself a hug as I am not too sure you have anybody to give you one.
Mosy importantly, you honestly have my sympathy because all the data points away from your beliefs.
Sigh!

No, I was saying something obviously silly, so people could understand why it's wrong to group people like that.
True, the messenger got beat up, but the way people are cheering it, like it was a good deed instead of something unfortunate--well, I don't think it was such a good deed, just an unfortunate outcome.

I'm just opposed to that type of justice in general. I think it takes a country backward and is in generally a bad thing to do that should not be approved as a good deed. I don't like appealing to the mob or vigilantes. But I'm okay with you having that opinion.
What I'm not okay with is:
- Being called a troll
- Being called an idiot.
- Being called a talmud-whatever
- Being called heartless
- Being accused of working for a company I do not work for
Basically I do not like being slandered for voicing an unpopular view.

Monsanto Admittedly Influences Colorado GMO Ban, Launches Phony ‘GMO Co-Existence’ Protests
Anthony Gucciardi
Bloated biotech giant Monsanto has admitted to using their influence to block an initiative introduced by Boulder, Colorado to ban the growing of genetically modified crops on county soil.
While county officials and farmers claimed that Monsanto influence had nothing to do with the blocking of the health conscious legislation, the company itself has admitted to being involved.
Furthermore, Monsanto may have actually set up phony ‘GMO co-existence’ protests in order to voice phony public support against the bill. After the admitted involvement of Monsanto and the curious protests, the county commissioners changed their formerly anti-GMO tune.
Instead of banning GMO crops, the Boulder County commissioners voted unanimously on Tuesday to allow for the growing of some GMO crops on county-owned open land.

In the conclusion of the IJBS study, researchers wrote:
“Effects were mostly concentrated in kidney and liver function, the two major diet detoxification organs, but in detail differed with each GM type. In addition, some effects on heart, adrenal, spleen and blood cells were also frequently noted. As there normally exists sex differences in liver and kidney metabolism, the highly statistically significant disturbances in the function of these organs, seen between male and female rats, cannot be dismissed as biologically insignificant as has been proposed by others. We therefore conclude that our data strongly suggests that these GM maize varieties induce a state of hepatorenal toxicity….These substances have never before been an integral part of the human or animal diet and therefore their health consequences for those who consume them, especially over long time periods are currently unknown.”
Monsanto has immediately responded to the study, stating that the research is “based on faulty analytical methods and reasoning and do not call into question the safety findings for these products.”

Monsanto GMO Seeds Use to Further Expand Within US
December 31, 2011
Source: Natural Society
While genetically modified foods are continually being banned in other countries, the US is slow to follow the very necessary trend. The USDA has chosen to step back and give Monsanto even more power over GMO seeds, and now some states are taking similar action. A bill which could be passedin Lansing, Michigan could make Michigan the 15th state to allow for the expansion of GMO seed use, causing Michigan farms to be plagued with disease-riddled, genetically modified crops.
Calling for the Expansion of GMO Seeds
In order to pave way for the expansion of GMO seeds in Michigan, a slight modification must be made to Sen. Bill 777, which has been in the Senate Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism Committee since Septrember 2005. The change seeks to prevent anti-GMO laws, giving biotech corporations even more room to wreak havoc on the environment and humankind alike. The new bill seeks to remove the following:
“Any authority local governments may have to adopt and enforce ordinances that prohibit or regulate the labeling, sale, storage, transportation, distribution, use, or planting of agricultural, vegetable, flower or forest tree seeds.
It is interesting to see how some areas encourage the expansion of GMO crops while others, such as Colorado’s Boulder County, recognize the dangers and choose to heed the warnings. Jeff Cobb, legislative aid to GOP Sen. Gerald Van Woekom, the sponsor of the legislation, says that his boss feels local governments don’t have the scientific capacity to determine the safety of GM seeds. The Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and the United States Department of Agriculture are the three government entities which have the power to regulate GMO seeds, and Cobb, along with others, feels that local government should not play a role

Monsanto, Sinochem in Deal Talks: Crop-Technology Company Negotiates With Sinochem Over Use of Farm Products
By DENNIS K. BERMAN, GINA CHON and SCOTT KILMAN
Chemicals conglomerate Sinochem Corp. is in advanced discussions with Monsanto Co. to deepen their ties significantly, people familiar with the discussions said, an important sign of China's growing appetite for U.S. crops and biotechnology.
China needs to produce more basic staples. Above, a wheat farmer.
The two companies have been in talks for months, the people said. It was unclear what form an agreement might take, though arrangements could include a large joint venture, the sale of a minority stake or Sinochem assuming a larger role marketing Monsanto products in China.
Discussions have been difficult, the people said, because of economic and political sensitivities of moving the companies closer together. "You have to be very cautious and careful in these situations," one of the people familiar with the matter said. "It's all very sensitive."
A Sinochem spokesman said he wasn't aware of a deal involving Monsanto and declined further comment. Monsanto also declined to comment.
With a market value of $40 billion, Monsanto dominates crop biotechnology, a 15-year-old market the St. Louis company essentially created.
Monsanto has at least one of its patented genes in about 90% of all the soybeans grown in the U.S. and in about 80% of U.S. corn.
