Justin P. replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"I know this video has some fluff to it, but it does provide some interesting statistics. Forget about the whole 'feeding the world' propaganda for a minute, and see how GMOs have been sneaked into our normal, everyday food supply...

Unseen replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"Yes, but, given that we can't assume the law is going to change anytime soon, it makes the discussion almost purely academic, doesn't it?"
Matt G replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"That is just an abject failiure of law, not an argument to stop using GMOs."
Atheist Exile replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"I don't know if organic farming can scale up to match agri-business in production. Plus, organic foods cost more.
Whether organic or not, a large infrastructure is needed to transport the produce cheaply and efficiently. Here in the…"
Atheist Exile replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"U.S. and European companies might grow large but are legally barred from gaining a monopoly or using monopolistic practices. Nonetheless, the larger a company gets, the less I like it. Just because."

Atheist Exile replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"Yes . . . that's true, isn't it! Population control, if not reduction, needs to accompany ag-tech."
Sean O' Byrne replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"I grew up on a farm and studied science in college, albeit I took only a few genetic's classes. The thing most people seem to forget is that once we started selective breeding, which was thousands of years ago, almost as far back as the dawn of…"
SteveInCO replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"All long-duration data with respect to the effects of non-Earth levels of gravity are at microgravity (essentially no felt force of gravity) in orbit.

Justin P. replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"Even though I'm skeptical about the effects of GMOs, I'm not against the science, and the trials are still going. I just came across this video of scientists pleading with an anti-GM group not to come on to their test fields and trash…"
Unseen replied to Justin P.'s discussion 'Embracing GMOs as Atheists'"Getting there and back alive is hard enough that I wouldn't hold my breath when it comes to colonization.

Catholics Blame the "Sexual Revoution" for Priest Sex Abuse, sigh...
Posted on May 19, 2011 at 1:00pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
I found this article to be very interesting as it basically blames the social times of the 60s and 70s in America for the prolonged problem of sex abuse to young boys from Priests. More notable, there isn't one mention in the study (says the LA Times) that celibacy itself plays a role. Not surprising the Catholics (Vatican) would denote any such allegation that any of their stringent practices, especially the aforementioned one, would have anything to do with anyone in their organization doing… Continue
Obama Mixing Faith and Politics for Immigration Reform
Posted on May 12, 2011 at 11:41am 3 Comments 0 Likes
I just read an LA Times article about Obama and Immigration Reform. The whole article is quite sickening to the hardened non-believer like myself, but what's even more irking to me is how overdone he was at this "Latino Prayer Breakfast" with the scripture, the "morals", etc. I don't really have much of an end-note here for this blog, but I thought I would share because… Continue
