"Putin33 has views on food that are just as stupid and self-consciously contrarian as his views on everything else."

Nope. I used to be a dumb macho meat eater who had to grandstand every chance I got on the issue of food politics. I used to ridicule vegans all the time. I woke up.

So GFY.

Eating meat is macho now?

"@putin, yes Monsanto is evil, not cause it an evil evil capitalist corporation, but because they have government support and subsidies in the US"

Oh whatever. They'd do the same thing with or without government support. It's not like it's public money which makes them all of a sudden turn evil. It'd be nice if a laissez-faire type would admit just once that private individuals can be evil.

You try to make it so. It's pathetic, really. Look at past threads about this topic. It's like a competition as to who can be the bigger bro.

You're out of your mind.

So is everyone, Invictus. Who isn't out of their mind except you? Get a new insult.

@Putin33 I gotta go now but if you could elaborate on this:

"But oh well if GMO causes massive unemployment and cancer, the first world needs to be "fed" their corn and soy diet."

As usual it's a completely contrived statement. But you usually strike a better balance between reasonableness and outrage. What you said back there was seriously nothing but words! You're off your game, provocateur. Note that Putin33 revealed his true aims earlier today:

http://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?threadID=1072017#1072082

Sadly you're off your game right now though.

Krellin and NBaby are ranters, but there's a kernel of sincerity behind it. Putin33, you're a purist.

Get a new brain.

Tendmote that was a humorous thread. Also, you're dumb enough to believe that just because something has side effects that means that's the intent of the product. Your reaction to that was monumentally stupid. Also, ironic considering you started flaming me in that innocuous thread but call me a provocateur.

Nothing but words? All of the words in that sentence made sentence. GMO causes unemployment because it puts small farmers out of business. GMO causes cancer because of the well-known links of cancer & GMO products. The First world needs to be fed their corn & soy diet means exactly what it means.

Sorry if your irrational hatred of me prevents you from basic comprehension.

Also, glad to see you "avoiding" political or controversial threads.

I have some macho New Yorks Strip marinating in the fridge right now. I can not wait for my macho sunday dinner.

Putin, do you have studies showing the cancer link? I've spoken to doctors/biologists about it and my understanding was that GMO foods aren't inately carcinogenic.

Ignoring the pesticides, etc (which can be present for GMO or not), do you believe that a GM'd food causes cancer simply because it's been modified?

wondered where that pet went?

It is completely iditoic to suggest the "GMO's are carcinogenic" since every GMO food is unique.

"Chemicals in food are bad for you"
"GMO's are all carcinogenic"
"The sky is falling"
"I live in fear of everything"

rotate your 'stock' lol

@ Krellin: Be careful. Fear causes cancer.

Actually, Jamie, I could probably make the scientific argument that what you says is true.

Fear causes stress, stress is shown to cause a build-up of toxins in the body...long story short - yes, excessive amounts of fear are dangerous to your health, and could in fact increase the risk of cancer.

...*thus*....Liberalism, which tends to espouse any number of ideas that the earth is being destroyed, we are all doomed, our food supply is killing us, etc is an inherently unhealthy philosophy, and therefore Liberalism is a carcinogen.

<You knew i would get there eventually, didn't you? lol>

<the entire hot dog/mold OP was a carefully constructed ruse, and you have played perfectly in to my hands...mwaaaa ha ha ha ha>

"<the entire hot dog/mold OP was a carefully constructed ruse, and you have played perfectly in to my hands...mwaaaa ha ha ha ha>"

I +1'ed that in the hopes you're serious, if it was it was brilliantly done.

Jamiet, if you want to get into semantics you can. I don't play that game; if you've never noticed I trip over it a lot.

"Also, you're dumb enough to believe that just because something has side effects that means that's the intent of the product"

What are you talking about?

Also Putin33 you're right, I got lured into it again. It was a hot dog thread though. Can you volunteer to silence yourself? Is that what Draugnar did? This is a waste of time and I've done it again. Can I get silenced?

@tendmote

The mods are working on a new experimental power called Blind. It may be just what you need.

@abgemacht I crave this experimental power.

@abgemacht I'm guessing from the name but is it a way to keep selected users from seeing you in the forum? If so that's an innovation... that's like a billion dollar idea.

@tend

No. It Blinds you. It still allows you to type though. It's for people who have a compulsive need to talk on Internet Forums but don't want to be hassled by what other people say.

So whereas mute is targeted, Blind expansive reach to all would allow me to exist alone (by my perception)....

Glorious...

@krellin

Exactly. I believe it will finally allow everyone to experience, what they believe to be, a productive conversation.

It is terrible that for the first time in my life I agree with putin on something?
