Reply to The Debate on Genetically Modified Foods Continues in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

Draginol, what do nuclear power plants have to do with anything? The two simply are not related. As for costing them big time in the long run; I don't think so. If Europeans don't want to eat GM crops then growing them would be foolish. It comes back to basic supply and demand. You provide what your customer wants. If they want cheap food then GM crops are the way to go, if they want organic then that is the way to go. I know if I was a farmer in Europe and most of my customers were asking for o

I am sorta confused as to what the point of your blog is. Are you saying the Europeans are wrong for being cautious? That's my understanding of it. If that is the posistion you are taking it's a very odd one and could use more clarification.

Reply to Hypocricy Wars: Limbaugh vs. The Left in Politics JoeUser Forums

First, Rush is a hypocrite, no getting around that. Second, are the people who have preached compassion etcetera the same people who are calling for jail? If so, who are they? If they are the same people then of course they are hypocrites as well. So if they are both hypocrites who is the bigger one? Is that really a significant question to ask?

"It should be noted that liberals tried to paint Reagan as an idiot. But anyone who's read Reagan's private writings and letters can easily see that the man was extremely well read and very intelligent."--Draginol I think most people who percieve Reagan as an idiot, do so because he suffered from Alzheimer's while in office. Which effectively did make him an idiot.

Draginol, you argued that Bush is not far right. The support you gave for this assertion is Bush's perscription plan. The Frontline report I linked essentially claims the Bush pushed for this program because the pharmceutical industry wanted it in order to protect themselves from more state inniatives like the one in Maine and Oregon--not because he is for social programs. "Whether you or Anthony K like it or not, ideologies need champions."--Draginol Once again, that is exactl

"In my view, Bush being in favor of providing more government services is one example of how he is not a "radical right winger"." --Draginol What other government services? You only mentioned one and I provided a link about that one. Did you bother to view it before responding? "Does Franken define liberals? Well, if not he, then who would the left like to have as their champion?"--Draginol That is exactly the type of mindset I was arguing against in my first reply.<BR

Draginol, The only thing I got from your blog is that you are a conservative. Franken does not define liberals, as I am sure you are aware. Yet, despite this awarness that is exactly what you proceeded to do. Neither you nor I will ever know all the details that led to the Iraq war (likely, nobody does). Both "liberals" and "conservatives" are right about some things but both are blinded by half-truths, their own propoganda and self-righteousness. You mentioned Bush's perscrip
