If GMOs Are So Great, Then Label Them.

[Orrex]

307. Spare me.

Anti-GMO types begin, sustain, and end their arguments with bullshit and personal attacks. If I had a nickel for every time anti-GMO type has attacked me and/or accused me of being a paid Monsanto shill, I could quit my job as a paid Monsanto shill.

That's a joke, in case any anti-GMO types here among us are as ignorant of sarcasm as they are of science.


To that end, pointing out your demonstrable ignorance or the outright foolishness of your "arguments" is not a personal attack. Likewise, revealing the bullshit fallacies that make up your "arguments" is not a personal attack. If you don't like having your bullshit fallacies pointed out, then I suggest that you stop relying on them.


What you perceive as personal attacks by me are in fact the exasperated response of someone who's frankly tired of dealing with anti-GMO true believers. Rather than waste time trying to persuade you with logic and evidence--a strategy that has proven powerless before the stubborn and willful ignorance of anti-GMO types--I content myself by identifying your bullshit fallacies and demonstrating how your entire position depends on falsehoods and misrepresentations of your opponents' arguments.

Tell me this, in all honesty: by what rational, realistic standard could you be convinced that GMOs are safe? Understanding that it is impossible to prove that there is mathematically zero risk (in GMOs or non-GMOs for that matter), what threshold of safety would satisfy you?

If no such threshold exists, can you at least admit that you reject GMOs based on faith rather than science?
