You have examples of some studies that used statistically improper numbers of the same variety of lab rat with a two year duration? You're telling me Monsanto typically uses the same protocol, so I hope you have an example...

Edit: Sorry, for some reason I thought this post came after my other posts. Ignore it if you address things elsewhere. Then it's probably bullshit. Why wouldn't it be on the internet? This was the claim: "Monsanto has undue influence on governments through lobbying and the hiring practices...

I called black people accusing other black people of "acting white" a "problem" that was part of what's causing a gulf in educational achievement. I obviously was not saying "Any black person who gets educated is "acting white"!"

Oh no, I read everything you said. All of it. I don't need to skip anything. You approach this issue with a religious fervor instead of objectively evaluating anything. That's why our conclusions are so very different. I don't believe in ideology, only facts. I have no reason to prefer GM over...

Again, there are thousands of studies that say GM food is safe. There are meta-analyses of those thousands of studies that say GM food is safe. These were not all conducted and/or funded by seed or food companies. So it doesn't matter how flawed you think the corporate studies are because the...

I'm confused as to why developers of proprietary having high market shares in the proprietary seeds they developed is damning. They applied for patent protection on the seeds they developed precisely to prevent other people from using them. There's nothing negating the idea of choice here. You...

HR 933 expired on September 30th, 2013. Section 735 of HR 933 necessarily expired with it. Nonetheless, all that law ever did was prevent an approval of GM crops from being reversed until all legal challenges had ceased.

In that sentence they mean that they follow local laws on lobbying. Lobbying has been permitted since this country was founded, so yes, Monsanto has nothing to do with lobbying being allowed.

I did no such thing. Don't worry, I can hold your hand again. I said the educational achievement gap is related to black culture: "The main problem is cultural." I then described the problem in that culture: "Doing well in school is "acting white." You get beat up for it." That's not a...

Allow me to go back to global warming for comparison here. I can give you a list of dozens of scientists who deny that it's man-made. The overwhelming majority of scientists studying the issue, though, express either uncertainty or a totally opposite conclusion. The number of people critical...

That's it? Now how many scientists said the study was total bullshit? Improper sample sizes. Blaming cancer on GM foods when 70%-80% of the test subjects would normally be expected to get cancer anyway during the course of the study. How much were the cancer-prone rats fed? We have no idea...

Buck, I am not appropriating education as a "white" thing. I think everyone who wants to be educated and have opportunities should be able to do that. I have previously spoken of my desire to end the practice of funding education with local property taxes because I think it disproportionately...

Like the Seralini study, which was so incredibly flawed the publishing journal retracted it? Well, guess what, I've got a stack of other non-US studies that say exactly the same things as the US studies you're trashing. And I've got a stack of meta-analyses of thousands of peer-reviewed studies...

The main problem is cultural. Doing well in school is "acting white." You get beat up for it. Disrupting classes and threatening teachers is a means of obtaining popularity, not something shocking that is shunned. So on and so on.

There are legions of tenured scientists earnings six figure salaries from universities who are free to do whatever research they want. They've done it. Their conclusions were exactly the same as all of the other conclusions. Again, the scientific consensus is not based solely on...

That we should focus on fixing our grossly unequal property tax-funded primary education system instead of pretending that affirmative action in college admissions--benefiting a tiny number of people, relatively--makes everything alright? If you've ever known a black person who went to a black...

You have a choice with food too. You can buy food that's organic. That's just not true. You have to pay more money to plant GM crops. No one would do it if they didn't make more money considering those costs versus using conventional crops. It is an entirely free choice. No one has them "by...

Yeah we have. The last time you were saying corporations could make campaign contributions I told you that you were wrong and you acknowledged it. Corporations cannot make campaign contributions. None of the cases you just cited say corporations can make campaign contributions. Indeed, look at...

The GM crops were tested. How much testing and study do you want? 20 years? 50 years? Why are you so focused on food? What about cell phones? Microwaves (not the kitchen appliance)? Electronics like tablets? Wireless internet signals? If you look around, you'll see people alarmingly declaring...

No one is forcing farmers to use the GM crop. Given that such a huge proportion of the crop is GM, farmers must have a "good" reason for using it. If they weren't making more money than they otherwise would they wouldn't use it. I took your claim at face value and investigated it. I found...
