My mother sent me some chain email the other day about some silly Monsanto thing and how it was killing the world. All of the "facts" in it were wrong. So, I took the time to respond to the entire Old Lady Email Chain about how GM crops actually reduce, not increase the volume of pesticides applied, etc, etc.

The facts are a real drag to these armchair liberals and tinfoil hat conspiracy guys.

I was aware of the message you were imparting with the rest of your statement about your grandfather.

while I agree your original post was moronic, at least you didn't bring up Monsanto. it is impossible to argue that the planet would not be better off without many franken-plants they introduced

not to mention this place needs a couple billion less people on it but that's another discussion entirely

So Monsanto is in the human population thinning business.

Is that what you're admitting?

I have actually seen nothing but good from genetic manipulation of plants and animals...

If you are against GM crops, you are for world hunger.

I recognize that I hold an unpopular opinion
there's too many people on this planet, and the entirety of the biosphere would be better off if there weren't so many

It is a rather unpopular opinion which confuses me as to why it offends so many people. I suspect it has to do with religions though. And of course if you dare to suggest that the earth my be overpopulated, the classic response is "I agree, so kill yourself".

I don't really know how to respond to that.

Invasive species are a huge problem. Many plants were brought over because they "looked pretty". Privet, Chinese Tallow, Water Hyacinth. All cases of mankind messing things up.
