to me, an economic embargo and/or sanctions, means intentionally depriving children of food. what does it mean to you?

Its not the US' responsibiliy to hand people that refused our fishing poles fish caught on those exact fishing poles day after day.

If they dont want to starve, they should accept the technology that was keeping them from starving in the first place.

Normally I hate Youtube links but that one was fun. Surprisingly enough it reminded me a bit of an argument from Noam Chomsky's most recent video. He essentially make the same argument, only with a very different kind of thief (capitalists).

He argues that capitalists love regulations (ie. the walls being closed) because they know that they can soon game the regulations (ie. steal all the food). Once that happens not only do they have everything they want (ie. all the food) but as long as the walls staying closed (ie. if the regulations stick around after industry neuters them) they actually help protect the thieves' interest.

loramin is evolving! loramin is now fellow traveler!

that goes even further than what i meant, yay!

They can choose to bring back agricultural technology that they violently destroyed, insisting on "self-sufficiency" with sub-optimal agricultural practice at any time.

Why should we freight the same food theyve already destroyed down to them while they continue to refuse to farm it themselves?

You do realize thats what this is all about, right? They burned the monsanto crops and decided to go "organic" (whatever the fuck that means) the US is merely refusing to subsidize their bad decisions with freighted monsanto foodstuffs for free.

Mark 7:15 bro.

You should seek Christ. I already have.

Nope. Theyre starving because they burned all the monsanto crops and decided to farm like it was the 1800s again. Look it up. Im tired of how fucking lazy you are.

Look up the verse i posted too. Theres nothing wrong with GMO. Thats just a liberal fucktard position with no basis in science whatsoever.

Do you understand how much modern "produce" was "Genetically modified" from field mustard? I dont see anyone eating field mustard to revert back to an "organic" diet.

[Wonkie]

i'm agreeing with you about GMO, dingus.

You know those bananas we eat? You should see what natural banana looks like? Huge black seeds in such a mutlitude that its hardly even edible. Those "organic" bananas in the store? How often do you find a seed in them while they cost twice as much as perfectly fine chiquitas?
