I agree with that terminator seeds killing other crops so that the corporations and GMO can sell the farmers fertilizer and receive a cut of all their future revenues by forcing them to buy their seeds and nutrients making them dependent on them for their livelihood and at the same time killing their soil quality and bees to boot.
That is pretty hardcore evil right there
Terminator seeds don't kill other crops, they terminate their own reproduction. They're just sterile seeds. Basically the conversation went like this:That is pretty hardcore evil right there
"But what if the GMOs reproduce out of control and take over the whole ecosystem? That's terrible!"
"No, it's okay, we can just engineer them so that the seeds are sterile and they can't reproduce. See? Problem solved!"
"But then farmers will have to keep buying seeds! That's terrible!"
"Dammit, is there no pleasing you people?"
"No. No, there isn't."
That's true although they also do not sustain the soil which is why you need to buy more fertilizers and end up with a cycle of dependency on their products in the end.

Our understanding of the science and application of genetic engineering is changing constantly. No person who seriously considers themselves a scientist can guarantee GMO foods are 100% certainly safe with a straight face. How can I know this? Because genetic engineering is an extremely new field of study with constant shifts in understanding about how we assume these organisms work. The fact is, most of the time WE DON'T KNOW.
To even lower the standard of evidence, there are very few long term studies on the effects of consuming GMO foods past 6 months, and the ones that do exist are not pretty. This means the safety of consuming GMO foods over a long period of time is an ASSUMPTION, not even backed with empirical data. Additionally almost all of the short term studies are funded by the very entities who stand to profit if approved! Would you let General Motors engineer your car given their recently exposed lack of safety standards? Then why would you let Monsanto engineer your dinner? Neither one of them would give $0.57 to safe your life.

Many I hope every post in this thread is showing full support to the OP because anything else seems like it would be somewhat a waste of time to me, generally speaking.
So It's a waste of time to call people out on misinformation?
If this thread had been advocating neo-naziism and ethnic cleansing would it still be a waste of time to not show full support?
I thought the idea of threads like these, was to get opinions and facts from all sides of the discussion, so people can get a more balanced view; due to the "filter search bubble", more and more people seem to get their information skewed and all from similar sources, rather than seeing the whole picture. This ted talk is well worth a watch:

I make a point of using "duckduckgo" or similar when I'm investigating issues such as these.
PS if you were trolling, then well done, you got me
heh, no I was not trolling friend. I made the mistake of assuming what people would post in this topic without reading it fully and making bad jugdement call on my part. You are more then right to correct me and make your points. However I think you misunderstood where I was coming from and what I was trying to say.
Ah yes apologies, I reread your post and I think I get what you meant now!
I am guilty of often taking threads like these a bit seriously
I like GMO 
they can produce better food 
hehe Like BUGE strawberry ohmohmo
they can produce better food hehe
Like BUGE strawberry ohmohmo 
I don't use gmo!

Totally agree with you but the problem is that there is too many people on the earth so it is impossible to feed everyone with good organic food! So GMO is like a decision on how to feed 7,000,000,000 people
Actually GMO is used to make sure there is less food. Good luck arguing that terminator plants which don't produce seeds are part of a humanitarian campaign to feed the planet.
