- penny500 14y agoYou're free to use non GM seeds (or GM from Monsanto's competitors). What's stopping you and other farmers (many of whom do not use GM)?
- voltagex_ 14y agoUntil they cross-pollinate with a patented GM crop...
- penny500 14y agoName one case in which Monsanto sued a farmer for unintentionally planting cross-pollinated seeds.

Edit to add: You can argue that this is a he said, she said. Since Mr. Schmeiser did not use Roundup I find his reasoning that he has no interest in the Monsanto seeds rather convincing.

- penny500 14y agojayfuerstenberg, look up "ad hominem" attacks. Don't use logical fallacies if you don't want them used against you.
- stagas 14y agoHey penny500 how does it feel being Mr. Nobody? There's a Greek word for you. You're a "Φερέφωνο" or if you'd like the latinified version, a pherephon. Φέρε=Bring Φώνο=Voice. Translation: The one who mindlessly brings the voice of others for their behalf.
- penny500 14y agoScience and law are on my side. I'll take that over your pseudo-intellectual opinion.
