A farmer who buys a crop from monsanto has to constantly rebuy the pesticides and the feriliser from that same company because the plant only responds to these. This dependency can ruin the farmer when the company choses to rise prices.I've already covered that. Opening up GMO foods does not mean Monsanto is the only player in the game. Other GMO companies can and will arise if the market is open enough. There is already a research lab in the UK looking into GMOs.
As for the dependency, I call bullshit on it. The farmer isn't forced into the relationship; he does it out of choice. Secondly, there is nothing stopping a farmer from going back to non-GMO foods if someone tries to screw him over on price.

Meaning that you have no problems to engage with the worst scum as long as it pays off for you!The fact remains that you wrote "I am not a racist, but" and then suggested I liked to have drinks with members of the SS. Sorry Germans, but anyone, especially a German, should know how that comes across. I find your excuse very hard to believe.
Quote:Wrong, I mocked you for considering that it alright to gain profit or any kind of personal good from engaging with racists. And that you are therefor an opportunist.The problem with your excuse here is that I didn't ever suggest anything about gaining profit or personal good from engaging with racists. That was something of your own invention.
I'd be an opportunist if I hung out with racists because they gave me good deals and I didn't care about their racism. That's not why I would hang out with racists. I'd hang out with them if they were my friends who were otherwise decent people, and if I had the chance to try and change their views.
