"The bt corn study"? There have been several, with roughly as many different conclusions as studies.

I would agree. The earlier studies suggested harm to monarch butterflies, but later, more extensive studies showed this isn't the case.

The links you have provided for the honeybee seem either dated, anectdotal…

cleo How can terminator technology be a genie (i.e. get out of control)? The plants can't reproduce and hence the GMO dies out.

Sure crosspollintation can occur and care should be taken. One such measure would be to intoduce terminator technology. But the genie can be kept in the bottle.

Read the article. GMO technology is being developed by many groups and countries. GMO does not equal Monsanto. GMO is the next big revolution in agriculture that will make it more efficient and feed the poor.

About time! GMO's will help the 3rd world achieve lower food prices by improving yields etc. I find it immoral to oppose GMO's when so many in the world go hungry.

200 grams per bowl? You have to be kidding. The news article suggests that each bowl is a mouthful.

But I reckon that it is disgusting that they are eating dog meat.

"But in Japan where mobile Internet access is already widespread, we have to carefully consider the combination of new handsets and services for our users."

Yeah, right! The 'full browser' on Japanese phones are pathetic. They can't render most simple internet pages.

Everyone here seems to think she was guilty or stupid. But that's beside the point. The court decided that she was not guilty. And yet she was detained for the appeal (I think - it's a little confusing). And because of such she overstayed her visa (for no fault of…
