  You can be sarcastic and rude, but you shouldn't be lazy. We aren't talking about something abstract like whether alien life exists. You can visit the website of the company's brands directly. If you still decide to sarcastically ignore this, I will assume you have an agenda. http://www.monsanto.com/investors/documents/pubs/2007/ar_2007_glance.pdf http://www.monsanto.com/investors/documents/pubs/2007/ar_200...

    You told me to stop gaslighting you and denying reality. I'm stopping now. My only agenda is complying with your eminently reasonable request.

      Do you speak like this in person?

        Sometimes. Why?
        • EpicEng 10y ago
          I mean... It's just really pompous, dorky, and obnoxious.

            Believe it or not, sometimes being over-the-top polite and accommodating to people gets them to take a counter-point seriously. You just have to wrap it in a lot of stuff about how they're obviously right and you're clearly completely wrong. Once in a while catering to someone's need to be right lets you slip an idea past it.

              It comes off as 100% condescending and patronizing (which is what it is.)

    No one doubts that Monsanto is making money of this, but they are really not the only ones Bayer and BASF SE are big even bigger than Monsanto you also have Pioneer (dupont) and quite a few other players which are of a similar size. You also have China which are doing their own thing probably violating every patent in the world in the process.

      > No one doubts that Monsanto is making money of this What? The whole point of this thread was to allay Kalium's doubts. Am I taking crazy pills here?

        > Am I taking crazy pills here? If you are, then so am I. Could just be all the glyphosate though...
