Somebody doesn't understand how poison works.

fear mongering an unsubstantiated claims meant to poison the well by spout ing off scary words.

I don't know why do some countries ban marijuana? Why do some cultures ban and/or burn "seditious" or "blasphemous" material? Why were people executed for being witches?

Again, not knowing what a term means.

Not to mention: "GMOs haven't been tested and we KNOW they cause cancer!" Um, wait a second...

As Shane hinted with those: "GMO's haven't been tested!" "GMO's cause cancer; we know this!"--um, contradictions much, OP?
And once again, we've been genetically modifying plants and animals for thousands of years.  It's how we have corn and bananas to eat, and cats and dogs to keep as pets.  The only difference is that instead of being done haphazardly over many generations, it's now being done in a controlled/safer environment over a much shorter time.

Now consider the benefits.  In 1970 Norman Borlaugh won the Nobel Peace prize for saving over a billion lives from just one genetically altered crop (wheat) that he helped plant fields of in Mexico, Pakistan and India.  I'll actually tolerate a few risks if it means billions of lives are saved; thank you very much.

I don't watch football, but, I'm getting tired of people shitting on it.

If you want a good idea of the nonsense that permeates reddit, especially the subreddit r/politics, check out the subreddit ShitPoliticsSays. It offers you a safe view through the looking glass into the demented wonderland that the subreddit is.

One penitent example:

"Mother Jones is libertarian-leaning, and MSNBC is a bunch of conservative, corporate shills."

What insane bizzaro universe do these people live in, because they can't possibly she sharing the objective universe we live in. Not by a long shot!

Another "fine" example:

"Here's my take on Walmart: I should be able to walk into any one of their stores, take anything I'd like off the shelf, and walk out without paying. My tax dollars are going straight into the pockets of the Walton family and I don't even shop there. I just get to subsidize their payroll."

I don't exactly feel safe driving down the highway knowing that these people drive alongside it. People that vapid should not be trusted to operate heavy machinery.

Yeah, and I thought Tumblr was bad...

To me, they might as well be calling atheists "traitors."

Cuz lord knows we haven't debunked THAT horseshit enough times.  Christ, it might as well be a logical fallacy at this point.  Or something like Godwin's Law, where, if the opponent throws it out, they automatically lose.

Then I guess the US flag represents acts of sedition and treason to Great Britain.

Oh god damn it, not the "MOOV 2 SOHMAULEEYUH" bullshit again. Somalia didn't actually get rid of its state. It broke apart into dozens of smaller states. Calling Somalia anarchism is like saying that burning down a church leads to atheism.

Argumentum ad Somalia?

Sorry, I don't see a connection.

Between pictures of Confederate flags, and atheists I mean.

There are those that DO consider Atheists traitors, or at best unpatriotic.

It's two majority groups calling a corresponding minority group traitors when they aren't.

Sorry, but fail.  Especially when everything listed is all but likely to be from government so calling it "legal" is misleading at best.  Simply put, did we see this stuff back when alcohol prohibition ended?  I didn't think so.
