Arsenic7 is working hardly.
Mar 6 Arsenic7 commented on Dear Nerds: Don't Do Blackface.
The race of the character is relevant to the plot.
But referencing the character is just as effective, if not more so, by simply copying their dress, hair style, and accoutrements.
Mar 1 Arsenic7 commented on Wait, That's GMO, Too?.
@54, your argument over the science seems to be completely political and not based on the technology itself.

However, the example Ben gave is a real thing and does demonstrate one of the potential dangers both of inadequate forethought and labeling.

Monsanto does not own GMO technology. They use it to produce their products.

Genetic modification is a technology and a concept. If you don't like Monsanto don't buy Monsanto products but it has literally no bearing on whether an individual GMO is safe for consumption.

@33, sure but GMO foods do not inherently require more pesticides. In fact, some strains are designed to require less. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the reason GMO foods tend to have more pesticides put on them is because most GMO foods are popular monoculture crops that tend to have pesticides heaped on them anyway.
Feb 28 Arsenic7 commented on Wait, That's GMO, Too?.
Conventional crops are not necessarily GMO crops, Will.
Feb 28 Arsenic7 commented on Wait, That's GMO, Too?.
GMO foods should be evaluated for safety on a case by case basis. As should natural food strains. Both can be dangerous, both can be beneficial to health and the environment. There really is no difference that can be described by blanket statements.
Feb 28 Arsenic7 commented on Sexualizing Children.
Guys, the same pageants Jon Benet participated in are still going on, unchanged, today. So I don't know where this talk of "we've moved on" is coming from. Charles actually has a point here.
Feb 27 Arsenic7 commented on The Future of Gun Control.
Ironically, I can imagine a future in which the monetary incentive for producing guns is removed by open source printing technology resulting in the downfall of gun-rights lobbies and increased gun control.
Feb 26 Arsenic7 commented on Mediterranean-Diet Research Stuns Researchers, Leads to a Startling Percentage of High-Risk People Not Getting Heart Attacks and Dying.
You should never base the future of your health on a single article or study.
