Amused to Death posted:lol for what google/AP is worth, at the current results, Sanders actually came out one delegate ahead in Missouri and Kasich(with 19% of the vote) wound up with 4 delegates in Illinois while Cruz(with 30%) has none. It's the other way around. Hillary won Missouri by 1 delegate.

XK posted:The potential risk of GMO isn't really that people who consume them would have ill effects. To be fair, that did happen once with tryptophan supplements. The actual legitimate risk of GMO foods is that a genetic sequence with unforeseen negative environmental consequences manages to escape into the wild. How would labeling prevent this GMO labeling is a slap in the face of science. If you support it, you hate science. Don't hate science.

Jhanez posted:Yes, that's true. Do you think it's accurate and useful to frame this as a sudden and devastating lack of procedural collegiality? That one day congresspeople just woke up and decided that they were no longer willing to compromise? It seems far more plausible to me that they and their constituencies have actually and fundamentally different values that they perceive of as being under threat, because people act ways for reasons, and a sudden attack of the no-get-alongsies doesn't make any sense at all. quote:I was standing in the National Mall, surrounded by nearly a quarter million people, when I realized I wasn’t a liberal.

on the other hand farming really could use some decentralization and bringing back local markets via organic kale merchants is a roundabout but probably effective way of doing that

Not that I'm against GMO or anything, but ecosystems can be pretty fragile.

I feel like labeling food products which contain ingredients that may cause abnormal health issues is a no-brainer. Like if something's 80% sugar it says it's 80% sugar. Not telling me what I'm stuffing in my fat disgusting body leads me to believe you have sinister motives.

Except there are no abnormal health issues caused by being GMO compared to naturally mutagenic(aka every lifeform on Earth) products. Putting a label on something is an implicit message that it's something that NEEDS labeling.

zoux posted:Well the point is that nature's niches aren't actually locked in and invasive better competing species push out native species all the time. i mostly rambled but first off youre right that niches aren't locked in, even without human intervention there's really no such thing as a steady state. i guess my qualification to that, which kudzu serves as a good example of, is that the degree to which an invasive species changes an ecosystem is often exaggerated, in this case basically for literary purposes ima ramble again now. adaptation is a constant process for all members of an ecosystem including us, with benefits and costs that should be managed with more care then they usually are. often ecosystems fail in ways that hurt lots of individuals and societies including human ones, like Easter island or the microbial genocide of the native Americans; what's really surprising to me is how often the result has positive elements for ecosystem members, considering the intensity of the change we've introduced globally, from deforestation to the Columbian exchange. oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 19:50 on Mar 16, 2016 |

Why are people calling the kids who are 18-19 backing Bernie "Millennials?" I turn 29 soon and millennials was my generation. I already went through the double heartbreak of seing my primary and general candidates go down in my first serious election with Dean and Kerry 12 years ago. Get your own name, 1997-1998 births. We've already had the Millennial experience. You guys were too young for 9/11, the Iraq War, Katrina, Obama 08, and the Recession.
