I'm blue, don't know orange and red is a guy I knew back home who will post these random hard-right canards rather infrequently. This is the first one I decided to press him on so let's see how this one develops.

You already know what's going to happen. He'll call you lazy, a socialist, possibly go on a rant about welfare queens, and unfriend you.

Nobody has stepped up, and most of my friends like the status. I'm relieved to know that nobody on my friends list is that goddamned insensitive.

To be fair, Monsanto is pretty much the worst company, and it's bizarre that the anti-GMO people are focusing on the least offensive aspect of a company that sues 80-year-old farmers into the ground for growing the same plants they've grown for decades.

Rain water has nothing to do with it, though.

Yep, and shockingly enough, it was Florida. It was a massive failure and was massively expensive. The amusing thing is that whenever I point this out to my more conservative coworkers who will rage over the waste of money spent on public assistance, I've actually been told that we should be spending money on the drug tests, because 'it's the principle of the thing'.

When I pointed this out to my former boss and explained that it accomplishes very little and serves only to waste tax money and treat poor people like criminals, he called me anti-American.

I think we all have that one embarrassing racist relative who uses Facebook all day and would definitely notice if we unfriended them.

My uncle divorced her before Facebook was invented.

Although my friend's ex is the kind of guy who tried to explain that the N-word just means "ignorant" (in the sense of "stupid rear end in a top hat who has opinions I disagree with" that was popular with the chronic fuckups when I was in high school). He thought it meant that and that he, a white, drunk-drivin'-rear end pothead conspiracy theorist, was totally allowed to go around calling people niggers as a result.

Also he refused to speak near my passport because he thought it was an NSA bug.

I will never understand the notion that if you aren't openly racist it's because you're "ashamed" to be white. I attended a debate with a member of the national racist party and they could not understand that some people thought that mosques and hijabs were not a blatant attack on their culture. It was apparently a foregone conclusion that people just were ashamed of their culture and wanted brown people to undermine it.

If they actually called it the National Racist Party, I might respect them slightly more. At least it'd be honest, instead of the "not racist, but" crowd you get now.

Separate the person from the work, if you can. This twitter stuff has really shocked me - I work in human evolution and his work has been a constant source of interest (even inspiration!) to me and to just about everyone else in te field. Stuff like the blind watchmaker and selfish gene are stellar works in explaining evolutionary theory, and shouldn't be so easily dismissed.

What you said is true of his books about evolution, yes, but The God Delusion has smug condescension dripping from every page. It's not just Twitter. The fact is, when he strays from his expertise as a scientist, he turns into an enormous prick.

"What we tolerate today our children will embrace tomorrow" is a fine point about how young people more readily embrace new ideas and technologies than traditionally more conservative older generations, but knowing the tone of Facebook idiots, it's probably more like "if we let gays have rights, then everybody will be a homo in the future rabble rabble downfall of American society".
