Oh right, cause Monsanto patented a strain of corn right? Show me the patent....

You really know nothing about this subject monsanto uses patented genetic markers to detect their plants and to seek payment for use. So yes you can patent some living things it's happening farmers have lost everythi g for basically infringing monsanto copyright thru accidental cross pollination.
No, its a good thing. Its toxicity kills root aphids. And cancer patients.
Show me the patent....it's not for a plant. You guys know how the patent process works right?
They patented a process lol. Big difference.

No you fool they have patented dna within the plant.
The dispute blew up after Monsanto asked Argentine exporters to inspect soybean shipments to ensure growers had paid royalties for using the company’s products. The Argentine government told the world’s largest seed company that such inspections must first be approved by the government.
The US company issued a statement saying it was ‘disappointed‘that talks with the Argentine government had not yielded an agreement on the inspection issue.
“The company plans to take measures to protect its current assets and will suspend launching any future soybean technologies in the country,” Monsanto said
Argentina, the world’s No. 1 exporter of soy meal livestock feed, relies heavily on Monsanto’s genetic technology to produce soybeans.
A spokeswoman for Argentina’s agriculture ministry said the country’s rules regarding soybean inspections were designed ‘to guarantee free trade and property rights.‘
‘If they (Monsanto) feel threatened, that’s their prerogative,‘ said the ministry spokeswoman.
Soy farming has spread rapidly across Argentina’s Pampas agricultural belt over the last 20 years, thanks in large part to the country’s embrace of genetically modified seeds. The technology makes soy plants resistant to glyphosate herbicide, which kills most of the weeds that grow in Argentina.
The pullout by Monsanto could leave Argentine growers without the company’s new ‘Xtend‘technology, aimed at increasing soy yields and controlling glyphosate-resistant broad leaf weeds.
Argentina last month issued a decree saying the government must authorize any grain inspection, dealing a blow to Monsanto’s push for exporters to check cargoes. Monsanto has pressured shipping companies to notify it when crops grown with its technology are slated for export without documentation showing royalties had been paid.
Argentina, the world’s third biggest exporter of raw soybeans, is expected by the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange to harvest a 56-million-ton crop this year. The estimate was cut from a previous forecast of 60 million tons due to floods that hit key farm areas in April

Why are peeps posting links to bs articles instead of scientific papers or patents??

Wheres your science. All we see from you is a bunch of "nut'uhs" and other immature rebuttles that have absolutely zero backing by proof.
The burden of proof isn't on me. That's why lol.
because you ignore them....

So you're just trolling? You argue but offer nothing, convince us. I am open minded if you or your other troll pal had posted anything even remotely close to believable I might start to belive you.
It's kind of like a five year old plugging his fingers into his ears screaming "Lalalalala can't hear you lalalalala"
I need a drink.
I need a drink.
Many people realize it.
GMO's are bad because they don't have to be labeled or researched.
Monsanto explicitly states there is no reason for safety research of them.
I hate them because they've been shoved down my throat without my knowledge.
I, unlike a few, am not certain of their safety... due mainly to a vast amount of evidence to the contrary.
Unless you can't consider the evidence due to the fact that the emperor's new clothes are so striking you can't look away.
PS If humans are 80% water I doubt there is room for them to be 70% carbon
who cares if they got patents i mean not like anyone here is growing fields of marijuana
See this is just grasping at shit someone thinks of monsanto making a patent strain and it getting blown out of proportion typical non sense
Love it can't wait for more non sense to appear on this thread how about aliens refuse to make crop circles in GMO fields haha
Talk to the farmers who have lost everything they own after being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement. And with our Supreme Court being owned by corporate interests, Obama signing the Monsanto Protection Act, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas being a former Monsanto attorney, the head of the FDA, Michael Taylor being a former Monsanto VP and lobbyist, and the endless amounts of cash that Monsanto will fund their legal team with, you dont stand a chance. And they have destroyed many small family farms, so dont fool yourself into thinking that the size of the operation is what matters. They will make an example of anyone.
