Kirt,
Not sure what you mean by that.
RE: Maui GMO ban overturned - rainyjim - 07-16-2015
You are a loon!
Because you follow ideological opinions and can't change your mind when the evidence is right in front of your eyes. Its not about your ability to understand its about your unwillingness.
The article on slate goes through in depth the depravity of poor souls living in fear of unfounded assumptions.
I suggest you read the IARC of the WHO recent findings on glyphosate, they are much more reputable.
RE: Maui GMO ban overturned - Newgirl - 07-16-2015
The WHO just rated it to be a probable carcinogen. I'm not worried about that personally because I don't have direct contact with in quantity for farming.
If I'm a loon, you're a lemming.
A few words in Slate was enough to totally convince you? Huh. Depravity? So I'm depraved because I would like labels so I don't eat GMO?I read labels on virtually everything I eat. I avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup at all costs, and certainly plenty of artificial chemicals are never going to make the cut. I avoided transfats before it was found to be one of the biggest killer of women over 50, nice of them to finally admit that and ban it so it unsuspecting consumers don't eat it unknowingly.
I'm a pretty healthy loon, I have to say.

Rainyjim....I came across this post of yours from August 2013 in a thread you started called "Unreasonable?" I have bolded what I consider the pertinent part of your post. Maybe you're having a bad day....go chill for awhile.

Thank you for your replies everyone. Very insightful, I have also noticed long-time posters disappearing carol, that is part of the impetus for this thread. That and considering leaving for a while myself after experiencing the disaster Rob labeled: 'Puna Politics'.
I have seen Rob say many times recently, (not verbatim) something along the lines of "i feel like a middle school hall monitor sometimes on punaweb". Well. I certainly understand, and let me ask you...
Have you ever gone into a business, perhaps somewhere to aquire a specific service from a "professional" something you are not trained to do yourself, and when you get there they treat you like some kind of ignoramous for not knowing every minute detail about their technical jargon or the latest edition product they're selling. I'm not talking poking fun i'm talking about trying to make you feel dumb on purpose. (Usually because they have little power in the workplace and no respect at home, but i digress)
Anyways, the above scenario has been similar to how I feel when on punaweb.
I guess not everyone got the memo, but this forum is for sharing knowledge and helping others...not trying to attack people personally or try and make them feel dumb(correct me if i'm wrong Rob).
I realize the roots of this problem are cultural and societal and not really something we can change on punaweb, but we can change how 'WE' act on punaweb at least.
I realize everyone has disagreements, thats not the issue, its how you treat other people thats the issue. Disagreeing is no excuse for treating people poorly.
I realize this is a web forum, I realize this is the internet. I still don't think either is an excuse to treat people poorly.

Thank you, or should I get used to saying Mahalo! Just the kind of people I was hoping to find here.
I've lived here for about 9 months, lurking for quite a while on PW. I've been to other islands but Puna makes me feel alive.
RE: Maui GMO ban overturned - rainyjim - 07-16-2015
Oh whats the matter kane panties in a knot because I disagreed with you on another thread?
You have way to much time on your hands if you are looking up things people wrote YEARS ago in a half assed attempt to discredit their viewpoint
Fyi thats called an ad hominem
And it weakens your own position to attack the person and not the stance.
Anyways carry on with your butthurtness !
RE: Maui GMO ban overturned - Rob Tucker - 07-16-2015
See you next week Rainyjim.
Assume the best and ask questions.

Btw, you do understand that you attacked someone here first?
