Somehow, I miss the good old days when we just honestly conquered nations rather than pull this kind of cr*p.

Monsanto? What a surprise. This company is nothing else but one manifestation of big-scale organised crime. A very, very bad name in modern economic history. Even their - by the letter of the law - legal acivities often are violating essential moral standards and long-termed policies of accepting responsibility for future times to come. Very often they act criminal, and they play the innocen t. Very, very bad guy this is. Bomb their HQ, kill their top management. They are like mobsters.

Don't go and join the ALF. They are even worse.
personally I hate these websites. They play your fears, skew facts, and promote hate of corporations.

Personally, I think Monsanto is the capitalist dream. Face it, every kid with lemonade stand wants to end up like Monsanto.

...and we should be glad that they don't. We're having trouble enough with one Monsanto as it is.

I really hope you're joking. Would you admire Al Capone?

Wtf has the ALF to do with it? Can you even see any correleation? The one group are some bunch of vegan muppets who fight for animals, the other is a multi-national corporation which exploits literally hundrets of thousands and influences the lifes of millions by forcing them what to eat through their monopoly. So your dream would be to force any lemonade seller to use your lemons and sugar and forcing anybody out by who disagrees with this practice, by any means, legal or not.

See, this is your problem. You know the world from websites. As I told you in another thread: maybe it's better to write about things you know about when you claim you are informed. Knowledge is more than just getting random information which you can google in 5 minutes. There are so many more sources of information, books, teachers, people you can ask, hell, there's even something out there called real life - great graphics btw, story sucks sometime.
I am happy that we have younger members here who don't follow this trend among adolescents to get all their wisdom just through wikipedia. I don't want to say names, but I honour these members, as they do the same like I do: I STFU when I read something where I have nothing to contribte.
