Whew. Had me worried for a second there. I though you were going to link to Leo's profile page or something.

The study wasn't really about seeing if hamsters can survive on a human diet. Hamsters don't normally eat a lot of animal products. Not really. They do the testing over several generations, so it's the same as over years with humans. And they have (in these particular tests) four separate groups...

If you look at the FBI Statistics, you'll see those numbers up there are mostly made up. In 2012 Chicago had 516 homicides (500 in the city, plus 16 in the suburbs). Houston had 217 in the city, but another 132 in the suburbs for a total of 349. In 2012 the homicide rate per 100,000 people for...

They had 4 groups. One group was fed no soy at all (they were fed non-GMO corn and other non-GMO grains), one group was fed non-GM soy only, one group was fed GMO soy of 50% with the other 50% being the non-GMO grains, and the final group's diet consisted solely of GMO soy. The first two groups...

GMO Soy Linked to Sterility, Infant Mortality, Birth Defects : Natural Society Genetically Modified Soy - Huffington Post

Well, while I'm keeping that in mind, you should keep in mind that you said, "In my opinions GMO's are a good thing that help plant life by lowering chances of bad crops, makes natural pesticides, and eventually be less expensive to the consumer."

Nobody said they couldn't see a correlation between GMOs and selective breeding. Nobody disagrees with there being a correlation. Our brains can comprehend just fine. What we disagree with are the ridiculous statements like "Selective breeding is genetically modifying, it's the exact same thing...

Which has nothing to do with GMO.

Like I said, find me a credible source that says genetic modification of gene splicing is the same as selective breeding. That's your point of view, and it's incorrect. Selective breeding in favor of desired traits is simply not the same thing as engineering those traits using the genes of...

Actually that's not what you said at all, but if you want to go with that one now, then fine. I can't. And, I'm pretty sure I haven't. I do not get where you think I think it's a taboo thing. I certainly haven't said that, and I don't think it. In fact, I just got through saying, "My personal...

Mine's not an opinion - it's fact. Genetically modifying the DNA of one species with the DNA of another species is not the same as selective breeding, and I dare you to cite a single credible source that says otherwise.

I didn't vilify anyone, all I did was blandly state the facts. The facts are that selective breeding and genetically modifying the DNA of an organism is not the same thing. How in the world is that vilifying (speaking ill of, defaming, slandering) someone? Where are you reading this crap? I...

You said selective breeding and GMO is the same thing. It's not. That's pure marketing propaganda from the GMO industry. The truth is my only outlook. I don't hate either one. But it's not the same thing. Selective breeding preferentially selects natural genetic traits, whereas genetic...

It's starting to pile up pretty good.

Not only have I read about it, I know exactly how it was done, and it wasn't done by splicing the genes of one species with another species. Why didn't you answer my question? How am I spreading fear and propaganda? Should be an easy one to answer. Sending me to Mental Floss on YouTube...

The shallower you discharge the batteries the linger they will last. If you could discharge only 10% and then recharge, they'd last a ridiculously long time because they will have thousands of discharge/charge cycles in them. But that's hardly practical for most applications. Regularly...

12.2 volts is 50% depth of discharge on a battery. Going down below 12.2 volts reduces the life of the batteries. 12.0 volts is 75% discharged. So, if you are changing the low voltage cutoff to less than 12.2 volts, you are reacting to a symptom of weak, or undercharged batteries, or of...

The boxer, Pomeranian, spaniels, the spitz family, terriers etc., are all dog species breeds. Not a single dog breeder crossed a dog with some other species, like a bacterium, and came up with a new dog species. I'm not blinded by the lab coat, because I understand it, I understand genetics, I...

Not even close. Selective breeding uses the same two organism for the breeding in order to breed certain traits. Genetically modifying is inserting a gene from one organism into another organism in order to create a certain trait. Selective breeding does not allow for cross-species manipulation...

I use an Espar heater. Keeps me warm and toasty.
