The scaremongering over the genetically modified salmon is pathetic. |
|
one poster even tried to make it a Women's Rights issue because the salmon are sterile females. :crazy:

1. Why take the time to understand something when fear is so easy? |
|
Years back, someone (in GD I think) blamed Bt maize for childhood obesity and they were none too happy when I challenged them on it.
I think I learn about more various subjects just by taking the time to refute obviously wrong scaremongering. If I didn't feel the need to look up the data necessary to demonstrate why boneheaded claims are wrong, I'd probably know a whole lot less about a lot of subjects.

3. Genetic engineering is TEH EVUL! |
|
All geneticists are also nazi frankenstein wannabes with no ethics and only play with genes so they CAN PLAY GOD!!!! I am seriously tired of these hackneyed Michael Crichton stereotypes (and I had a NUTJOB ON DU use that right wing douchebag as an example of the evil of scientists in the fucking SCIENCE forum). I have never EVER EVER encountered anyone who spliced and diced because they could! Not even in Big Pharma! :banghead:

You don't need to push the official BIG SCIENCE line in here. We're all on the payroll.
