GMO's are they safe? There is no way to be sure yet...there are no absolutes in young science...

6. How many times do you like explaining to people that women should be paid the same as men?

And shooting down every random argument they vomit forth in an attempt to justify their belief?

How many times do you like explaining to people that blacks should be treated the same as whites? And shooting down every random argument they vomit forth in an attempt to justify their belief?

How many times do you like explaining to people that the Earth is 4 billion years old? And shooting down every random argument they vomit forth in an attempt to justify their belief?

How many times do you think biologists like explaining to people that GMOs will not make them grow a third arm, or whatever random argument they vomit forth in an attempt to justify their belief?

Mine is introducing cross species plants into our food chain without verifiable, duplicable, long term studies on the effects to the environment, plants, animals and people...

Step 1: Learn how GMOs are actually made. The most common mechanism is to shoot gold nanoparticles coated with the desired DNA at a petri dish holding the target organism. As in there is absolutely no way for you to "catch" the modification via the same way the organism is modified.

Step 2: Learn how the digestive tract actually works. The modified DNA does not enter your cells. It's been chopped up into useless pieces. The modified proteins also do not enter your bloodstream. They've been chopped up into amino acids.

Step 3: Now that you have the absolute minimum required to understand what's going on, come up with a mechanism by which eating a GMO could cause harm. "We haven't studied it for decades" is not a mechanism. "They might spray the field with a nasty chemical" isn't a mechanism either - the GMO isn't the danger, the chemical is.

Once you've done that, you'll find a lot less "snide aside comments and barely passable personal attacks".
