Greenpeace needs to be dissolved

Eco-terrorism is defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as "the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against people or property by an environmentally oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature."[3] The FBI has credited to eco-terrorism 300 million dollars in property damage from 2003 and 2008, and a majority of states within the USA have introduced laws aimed at these activities.[4]

The group as a whole has staked claim to the actions. Action therefore can be taken against the US portion of the group.

Hey Freak...is Bayer going to reimburse all the farmers who couldn't sell their crops because of contamination?

One of the largest and
most costly GM contamination cases
in history started from a small-scale
field trial of Bayer’s Liberty Link rice.
In 2006, the GM rice was found to
be widespread in US long grain rice,
costing the global rice industry
$1.2 billion. When asked in court to
explain how the contamination resulted
from a ‘low-risk’, small-scale GM field
trial, Bayer claimed the contamination
event was “an act of God.”

I just don't see how the thread went from the acts of Green Peace members and the main site taking credit to the possibility that they could face terror charges-that's for the prosecutors to decide.

Seems to me that one argument usually said about the left is that they are 'pro-science' via evolution, climate change, etc. So now for some reason, they are against experimentation that could lead to less starvation and better nutrition?

The left (like the right) ignores science when it disagrees with their ideological position. The left ignores science when it comes to abortion, GM crops, global warming etc...

Again, are you going to continue to defend the criminal activities of Greenpeace?

As for Bayer.... do you have anything other than the obviously biased bullshit from Greenpeace relating to that case?

Only to the woefully and willfully ignorant. The more I read about this, the more I side with Greenpeace. I suggest you read this article about North Dakota farmers fighting GE (genetic engineering) of wheat.

A question as old as the Constitution: Who should make the economic decisions in this country?

You are REALLY on the wrong side of this issue, but you will defend the corporate takeover of EVERY part of our lives. You REALLY need to educate yourself on this issue Freak.

Terrorism is a farmer who refuses to use GE seed, but passing trucks spread GE seed to his fields. THEN, he is sued by Monsanto because his crop contains patented genetic material, even miniscule amounts that had arrived via spillage, wind-blown seed, or pollen drift. And to have a whole field of contaminated wheat that cannot be sold to “Frankenfood”-averse European or Japanese markets that would reject GM wheat, causing the price to collapse.

Oh... and the answer is YES. They are going to do just that. Anything else moron? (a simple google search showed that Bayer has settled the claims)

Bayer to pay $750M in genetic rice settlement
By Jeannie Nuss
Associated Press
July 1, 2011

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas - German conglomerate Bayer CropScience agreed Friday to pay up to $750 million to settle several lawsuits with U.S. farmers who claimed a strain of the company’s unapproved genetically modified rice contaminated the food supply and hurt their crop prices.

The litigation goes back to 2006, when Bayer disclosed that an experimental strain of genetically altered rice was found in U.S. food supplies. No human health problems have been associated with the contamination, but that wasn’t known at the time.

“Back in 2006, this rice had not been approved for human consumption,” said Don Downing, a St. Louis-based attorney who represents some of the farmers who sued.

The fear that the rice was unsafe, along with the notion that genetically altered rice was somehow impure, quashed sales in major markets including the European Union, which has tight restrictions on genetically modified crops.

So, farmers from Arkansas, which produces about half of the nation’s rice, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas, sued Bayer, saying the accident closed off critical export markets and caused the price of rice to drop.

The settlement reached Friday will extend to all U.S. farmers who planted long-grain rice between 2006 and 2010.

Downing, who has represented farmers in the case since 2006, said the agreement was likely the largest settlement in the history of genetically altered crops.

“I don’t think there’s any settlement involving genetically modified seed that approaches the size of this,” he said.

Rice growers have between 90 and 150 days to submit their claims, depending on which types of compensation they’re seeking. But, farmers who represent 85 percent of the average acres planted from 2006 to 2009 don’t sign up, Bayer can walk away.

“Although Bayer CropScience believes it acted responsibly in the handling of its biotech rice, the company considers it important to resolve the litigation so that it can move forward focused on its fundamental mission of providing innovative solutions to modern agriculture,” Bayer spokesman Greg Coffey said in a written statement.

If a farmer planted 500 acres of rice for every year from 2006 to 2010, he’d collect $155,000 at $310 per acre. Plus, farmers can collect more money if the contaminated rice forced them to plant another crop like wheat or soybeans that didn’t pay as well.

The settlement applies to long-grain rice, the kind used in pilaf or typically mixed with beans. It doesn’t affect farmers who planted medium-grain rice, which is often used in sushi, or short-grain rice, which is often used to make cereal.

Genetically modified or altered rice is, as Downing put it, “not the way God made it.”

Some of the farmers who sued have no problem eating genetically modified rice, but whether its rice or any other crop, genetically modified food doesn’t sit well with some consumers, especially overseas.

“We may think it’s all right to eat genetically modified rice … but the customer’s always right,” Downing said.

What is your point moron?

I asked you for any more details on the case other than the same few sentences you stole from Greenpeace's website. You hadn't provided any, so I did a quick Google search and found the answer to your question. They HAD paid the farmers.

coincidentally... the rice at the time was FEARED to be harmful, because no one had tested it at that point. Imagine if there was a government willing to invest money to test GM products for safety in use for humans. Wouldn't that be great. To be able to find out if it is safe or not. To find out of the wackjobs are right or not? If only some government would invest in such a research product. I wonder what we might learn. Oh wait, we learned that the criminals at Greenpeace will destroy the research product before the scientists can finish their study.

THAT is what you stand for Bfrgn. Criminals. Criminals who oppose scientific research....

Woeful and WILLFUL ignorance is not an excuse...it is a right wing illness that has reached epidemic proportions.

Try starting here...these are red state conservatives who voted for Bush in 2004 by a 63% margin.

Breadbasket of Democracy

But, as a liberal, I defend your right to your position FREAK. And take heart...there were plenty of Tories, Lobsterbacks and Redcoats who supported the British East India Company and the crown in setting up a monopoly and called the colonists who dumped tea terrorists...


The introduction of genetic engineering (GE) in plant breeding has been accompanied by the expansion of patent monopolies.

Companies have seized on the opportunity to extend the corporate control of agriculture through the patenting of seeds and plants. Increasing corporate control has meant the seed industry has been largely integrated into the agrochemical sector and an increasing number of patent litigation cases have been lodged. Choice for farmers has also been reduced and seed prices are skyrocketing. Seed giant Monsanto is especially criticised because of its predominant position and extreme enforcement of patent rights. Even in the US, where many farmers welcomed being able to cultivate GE plants, seed patent monopolies are a growing problem that has lead to several anti-trust investigations. Choice in seed has been reduced, prices are increasing dramatically and farmers are being taken to court by international companies.

WOW, you are officially a HACK. And a moral and ethical piece of shit, you fucking little freak.

I didn't say that, and you know it...YOU totally fabricated it and put my name to it...you have NO ethics.
 
SF....in your opinion, were the boston tea partiers terrorists?

3rd time....perhaps SF will notice it now...what if i put a big smilie

don't get your panties in such a bunch... everyone knows I changed it. It is obvious by the way I mocked you in it. We all know you would never admit to being wrong, never admit to being such a complete fool, never stop apologizing for the criminal acts of Greenpeace, never stop apologizing for your desire to have the government control everything.

Of course...we must move out of the way of corporate takeover of everything, even our food.

In 2004, North American farmers blocked GM wheat commercialization. According to the Canadian Wheat Board, the biotech industry could not ensure that GM wheat would not contaminate Canada’s conventional wheat supply and GM contamination would “virtually destroy the $3.5 billion industry in Western Canada.”1 The European Union and Russia have a near-ban on GM crop cultivation.

European Parliament strengthens draft laws to ban GM crops
