Damn! God must approve of Marijuana! :P
Meh

That's the thing about marijuana: it ruins your life everywhere EXCEPT sports, where it's a performance enhancer.

QuoteTo the ass hat above repeatedly claiming that GE crops were never tested before being used . . . you DO realize they WERE tested before being used, right? Do you have even a cursory understanding of biology? Do you know what a gene is? Go ahead - we'll wait while you Google it. If you alter a gene to produce a protein then you've altered a gene to produce a protein. If you insert a gene from fish into a tomato, you have not made the tomato like a fish; you've moved one gene. There is nothing about a gene that specific to the species in which it is found; your tomato will not grow scales, it will not grow fins or in anyway be anything fish like. The altered gene will produce the protein and that's it. It is not a "fish" gene. DNA and genes do not cause cancer - this is why the process to approve new GE products only need to demonstrate that the new protein(s) are safe or are generally recognized as safe.

Overall win, but not completely.
4) Was fucking win.
3) There have been other experiments on that cited by Mary J Ruwart with at least somewhat similar results so this one could have been better.
2) A bit weak imho with the exception of the end of it, but otherwise no complaints.
1) >>The cause is social pressure and wealth disparity
Seriously OP?  You're going THAT route?  Not a single mention of the war on drugs, which has only ever increased drug use?  Lame!

"It is absolutely completely fucking ridiculous to ask noninterventionists about World War II. The destruction of the Weimar Republic and the subsequent rise of the Nazis--and hence, World War II itself--would never have happened if the US had a noninterventionist policy.

World War I ended in a stalemate. Both sides were war-weary and seeking peace. It would almost certainly have been an equitable peace if the US hadn't popped in at the last minute and won the war so decisively for the Allies, and Wilson campaigning heavily for the brutal and barbaric Treaty of Versailles.

Not to mention the fact that World War I only happened because of the very entangling alliances that Jefferson warned us about to begin with."--Shanedk on WWII, helping some guy who asked about it.
