"Genetic Modification -- science vs belief"

44. Not sure what your point is.

My main point was pretty specific:

<<No one is using a fucking "eye dropper" on a 1,000 acre soybean field in Mississippi. That's a ridiculous statement and the fact that you've said it, twice in this thread, pretty well shows that you don't quantitatively understand what the fuck you're talking about, or how to distinguish solid arguments from bullshit.>>

In case you didn't catch it, I'm rebutting the the specific claim, made twice, that the amount of Roundup used for fields of any significant size, is measured in "eye-droppers". That's absurd, and your WatchUsGrow.org link confirms it. Roundup is measured in gallons, not "eyedroppers". It would be ridiculous to measure 7-1/2 gallons of Roundup with an eye-dropper. I can only conclude that the purpose of repeating the "eye-dropper" claim is intentional and is deliberately meant to distort and mislead.

Again, I'm not sure what your point is. If your point is to defend the claim that the amount of Roundup used by farmers is measured in "eyedroppers", rather than in gallons, then you're as guilty as he is of distorting the truth.

And furthermore, the statement from WatchUsGrow.org: "That's it. A fifth of a gallon over an entire football field," doesn't tell a person anything about the toxicity or effects. A fifth of a gallon of an endocrine disruptor spread across a football field, and then multiplied by many football fields, is not necessarily a trivial problem.
