I dont think you understand the difference between a view and a response I don't think you understand that a response can impart a view, which is just silly on your part. darkknight109 posted... Mead posted... Youve got no idea how many people I know Zeus That seems to be a common trait with him. He's accused me of being a shut-in in several topics now. I think he thinks it's a good debating tactic or something. Untrue. I don't name-call. Mead posted... Well there seems to be a strong correlation between poor IQ testing skills and the common prejudices of the far right There seems to be a strong correlation between people who desperately want to believe this and a susceptibility to questionable articles, including a "science" website that casts doubt on GMOs: https://www.livescience.com/25799-frankenfish-salmon-gmo.html The site, which apparently does no original research of its own and uses the denigrating term "frankenfish," cherrypicked a HuffPo article -- itself an alt-news site -- that tacitly pushed the opinions of several anti-GMO organizations and used scare graphics. Granted, the HuffPo piece is far more balanced than the Live "Science" story which, among other things, brings up the call to label GMO products (a tactic used to discourage the purchase of GMO products). I'll also say that the story is notable for being the only one I've seen so far on the site with links that don't solely reference its own content. https://www.livescience.com/51917-gmo-herbicides-health.html Then we have a scare article about herbicides used on GMOs which very conveniently overlooks that "organic" products also use herbicides, often in greater volume. Granted, there's a brief criticism -- and by "brief" I mean one whole paragraph -- of the claims in there for balance, which also notes that one of the people is paid by a group that promotes anti-GMO agendas. And I'm not going to get into discussing the typos in the article. --- "If I were a ghost, this is certainly the kind of place I'd haunt."
