Fascism, compare me to hitler while you're at it, half the job is no job. Maybe i should rephrase, educate yourself and then post. It helps, a lot. As for missing that final sentence, it was your opinion i guess, but don't take counterarguments personal.
Fascism, though tied with the Nazi party, is not what the word means.
It's ok, I don't think you're Hitler.
Fascism Definition | Definition of Fascism at Dictionary.com
The philosophy, principles, or methods of forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism. (a paraphrase, but legitimate nonetheless) Meaning either I shut up, or I get out if I don't believe what you believe.
And I don't take it personally. I just think you're quite misinformed if you went from claiming me a BS spreading jackass (not quoting you) so to speak, to this last post. Kinda seems to me you feel like you've been reduced a bit on your points.
I just want to show mutations have a bad ring to it, which is not entirely fair, since evolution, an endless chain of mutations, has helped humans reach their full potential. Mutation =/= disease/health risk.
Prove that I said it was completely bad to mutate? I believe you when you say evolution is purely a chain of endless mutation. I said in that case it
can be bad, or it has the
potential of negatively affecting health. Also, next time you want to do something like that, then do it. Don't drag your ass merely to get to it later. Just get to it first and foremost. Your other points can come later.
And GM is in no means bad or unnatural, nature does it through evolution, we do it in a lab. You know, how do you think the vegetables and fruits we eat have those perfect qualities of taste, size, shape and health-beneficial? All achieved through cross-breeding, a primitve form of GM. Technology ain't bad, mkay.
Well, you're talking to a person who's going to be a tech engineer. So I agree that technology "ain't bad, mkay."
Genetic Modification that
I am speaking of is not like cross-breeding. It is where you delve into the genome of a plant (speaking in terms of the eucalyptus) and changing it forcefully. That isn't natural. Cross-pollination, however, has been possible since plants have existed. It is part of their genes to be able to make cross-bred plants. Of course, it is possible to make transgenic animals without the use of GM, however they are usually born sterile or hermaphroditic (this has happened with plant species as well). With the use of GM as far as transgenic animals are concerned is outside of my knowledge. Back to my original point, I hardly see going into a creature's DNA and forcefully removing or adding a gene to its genetic structure natural.
If you're talking about only breeding the plants that are well proportioned, properly colored and maturing, with a good taste. You would be talking about
selective breeding. Very similar to what is done to a lot of bulldogs that are involved in dog fights (selectively bred for aggression and muscle mass). Ever tried a commercial pear side-by-side an organic pear? The taste is actually pretty substantial (at least for me, some people might not notice).
EDIT: By the way, I must thank you for bringing me some form of entertainment on this rather dull day. Cheers
