| People do not ... ( 7 months ago by trakkaton) |
| People do not poison apples. That's fairy tales (Snowwhite) or urban myth (razor blade) or fear-mongering (neocon ZioNazis). And if people would, then it would happen regardless of how many people take part in agriculture. Better think about Monsanto and the systemic poisoning of the apples that is AN ACTUAL PRESENT REALITY. |

| However. Mafia does some charity. Some charity asks the Mafia for help. |
| Wikipedia is more ... ( 7 months ago by trakkaton) |
| Wikipedia is more plastic, that's a major advantage. On the other hand, there is a lack of democracy, a strong right-wing bias and a lot of secret services and corporations at work. |
| I find it odd that ... ( 7 months ago by kDest) |
| I find it odd that someone would liken wikipedia to being "right-wing." Maybe in your country right wing means something different than in mine. Here it means conservative, capitalist, religious. A competing wikipedia, conservapedia, actually calls wikipedia liberally biased. |
| "Better think about ... ( 7 months ago by kDest) |
| "Better think about Monsanto and the systemic poisoning of the apples that is AN ACTUAL PRESENT REALITY." Genetic engineering or roundup? |
| "His thesis is ... ( 7 months ago by kDest) |
| "His thesis is basically that there's only one way to make software (and other information technology) and that nobody else should be allowed to do it any other way." No, his thesis is that the internet has given rise to collective effort that has grown in power to rival traditional market policies, and that it may eventually outstrip them. |
| It may well be that ... ( 7 months ago by trakkaton) |
| It may well be that conservapedia calls wikipedia liberally biased, just as Republicans call Democrats liberal when both are far-right extremists (I'm talking about them meeting the criteria of the definition. I have posted the criteria on my blog). If you don't believe that wikipedia has a right wing bias, try to include some facts (not opinions!) there that are undisputed as facts, but unwanted for political reasons. Just look at GWB on wikipedia, it's laughable. Downingsstreet what? |
| I was primarily ... ( 7 months ago by trakkaton) |
| I was primarily thinking of the pesticide, however, some people use the quite accurate concept of "biological pollution" as counterpart to "chemical pollution". But the word "poison" still has a strong chemical connotation. |
| People voluntarily ... ( 7 months ago by cromicus) |
| People voluntarily deciding to do things like open source software and wikipedia without being forced to do it or forced to pay for it, and without needing government approval, licences and legislation, is pretty much as market-oriented as it gets as far as policy goes. It's sad that "free" means socialism for too many people, and that these great innovations are being used to justify socialism. |
| I see that there is ... ( 7 months ago by kDest) |
| I see that there is missing a "criticism" section in the GWB article, but I still don't get a right-wing impression overall for the site. For example it lists the tampering done in the 2004 elections by the republican party. |
| "I was primarily ... ( 7 months ago by kDest) |
| "I was primarily thinking of the pesticide," Ah, I see. I kind of detest Monsanto for that too. The point of genetic engineering is to eliminate the need of chemical pesticides, among others. |
| No, the prime ... ( 7 months ago by trakkaton) |
| No, the prime directive of the GMO industry is: Get rich with destruction and fraud, loot the biosphere, blackmail the helpless, control the world wide food supply, starve the masses. No chemical pesticides are eliminated by Monsanto. They rather produce pesticide-resistent plants to spray even more poison (ka-ching!). Or they produce herbicide-resistent plants to spray more herbicides. Too bad: the unwanted plants aquire the DNA too and are resistent. Just the beginning of the poisoning fun. |
| So that is an ... ( 7 months ago by trakkaton) |
| So that is an accurate description of a coke-snorting alcoholic, an OBL buddy, a christian fundamentalist, a war criminal, a liar, a torturer in chief, burning the constitution, stovepiping "intelligence", an illiterate idiot, destroying the enviroment while leading the financial system into total collapse when not ignoring Katrina, protecting old buddies from jail or helping out ENRON gangsters, FED banksters or the military-industrial complex together with ZioNazis and fascist dictators? |
| "So that is an ... ( 7 months ago by kDest) |
| "So that is an accurate description of a coke-snorting alcoholic, an OBL buddy..." It is against wikipedia policy to speculate, get on a soap box, or do original research. The point is to list knowledge with references. While it is possible that information was omitted from that article, it may be that no solid sources exist to list it, and further it may not be a representative view of the website. |
| "No, the prime ... ( 7 months ago by kDest) |
| "No, the prime directive of the GMO industry is: Get rich with destruction and fraud, loot the biosphere, blackmail the helpless, control the world wide food supply, starve the masses." I think you're missing the point. GMO crops can be engineered to be safer for consumption than modern pesticide residues in foods. GMO enables us to turn nature on its head, and a number of benevolent technologies attest to this (such as starlink corn, or golden rice). |
