I would have missed the text in centre of the screen without that circle!

the United States when talking about colonial genociders considering it’s the OG

The OG huh?

What’s OG mean you inveterate cunt?

What came before the US you dense motherfucker?

You know he doesn’t. Honestly I’m surprised he knows where the reply button is.

You complete lack of knowledge of the British empire is hilarious in the context of a discussion on colonialism.

Well most of the cited studies are a decade old, I’m just curious why you didn’t follow your own advice to others and cite the original source.

Why did you link Wikipedia and not the sources?

A lot of information on Wikipedia is misconstrued from the facts and intents present in their sources

Got a source for that claim?

I did. Did you see the part about it being free only for farms which earn under $10,000 annually?

Do you have any idea of the history of litigation around cross pollination from GMO crops?

What happens when a small farmer cross pollinates a larger farm? Do they get sued the same way Monsanto sued farmers for the cross pollination of GMO corn?

There are many unanswered issues that could arise from allowing golden rice and trusting Western philanthropy, which has been weaponised against developing nations in the past, is a surefire path to costly sabotage.

This contribution was based on the understanding that Syngenta would retain commercial exclusivity for the technology, including large agricultural setups in developing countries.

Lots of claims about it being for humanitarian purposes but there it is.

Your opinion is not grounded in fact as represented by statistics from a wide range of countries.

It’s easier than you think. Most often it’s when they fall and hit their head on the ground after being knocked out.

Blackouts in the country that is an energy exporter.

Starvation in a food exporter.

Shows what you know about economics.

Yea selling some iron ore is worth sleep walking into WWIII.

So full blown war over seeking alternative trading partners is a better outcome? Because that’s what will happen if Chinese aggression isn’t met with severe consequences.

So your greedy and spineless solution is to allow these bullying tactics to continue until Australians are killed, and then continue to allow trade afterwards.

You’re glad someone who cares about the safety of Australian citizens isn’t in power?

Way to out yourself I guess.

I gave an exact example of serious retaliation.

Australia can find other markets for its exports as we did previously.

China needs a reality check. They need Australia and they need to respect the safety of Australian citizens.

The Australian government needs to retaliate in a serious way.

They just had talks between generals about this sort of dangerous behaviour and the Chinese immediately do this.

This is a message from China that they don’t respect Australia. Fine.

Australia should cut coal and iron exports to the bastards right before their next winter hits.
