You said:
"And sabotage is a deliberate act of destruction or disruption in which equipment is damaged."
And then you said:
"My sabotage does not presuppose destruction of property"
What sort of equipment is not property? Is this a case of muddled thinking, or are you coming to your senses?
In any case, let's agree on that: no destruction of property. This still leaves open the possibility of violence against people but I prefer to assume the best.
I've seen enough videos on the internet. Give me names and dates of people who have been killed by GMO.
Surely that can't be so hard, if it's such an evil presence? That's the third time I've asked.
Some people hate GMO because they fear it; they fear it, because they don't understand it.
What's your reason?

Everything has it yin/yang aspects. Monsanto aside, the papaya industry was devastated by the ring spot virus. The GMO papaya, and I don't know for a fact that this is what was destroyed in the farmer's field in Puna, revived the local papaya industry. Without it there would be no Big Island papaya industry.
As I recall the GMO papaya was developed by U.H. College of Tropical Agriculture. Papaya will grow heartily in a field of ripped pahoehoe. Not many marketable crops will do so. Puna is a poor agricultural district with poor soils. Farmers work hard here to make a modest living. It is heartbreaking to see this local family devastated intentionally by persons yet unknown for reasons yet unknown.
Assume the best and ask questions.

I base my opinions on facts, not videos. Yes, that documentary is a video. What would you call it, a scholarly article?
That you quote an article from the Daily mail shows me that you (hopefully) have no idea what the Daily Mail is. It's a rag.
The Indian farmers were not killed by GMO crops, they committed suicide. There are many factors in that story (ruthless moneylenders, drought, lack of education) but go back and read the comment that says how GMO crops have benefitted many millions of faremrs, just like they've helped the farmers here.
Despite the common misconception that someohow people are being "forced" to use GMO, it's simply not true. It's a choice. It's people like you who want to take away that choice.
"Look at how I made you pay attention to me for all this time?"
Ha, likewise. I hope people reading this understand more about the mindset of people like you who want to stop freedom of choice by force. You're sitting at home typing on a PC instead of going out and chopping down other people's papaya trees, that's a win for me. I can keep this up forever.
If you want to fear GMO and other scientific advances, that is your right. But please don't impose your uneducated views on others with violence.
Still waiting for the name of somebody killed by GMO. I think I'll be waiting a long time.
Also waiting for an answer to this:
You said:
"And sabotage is a deliberate act of destruction or disruption in which equipment is damaged."
And then you said:
"My sabotage does not presuppose destruction of property"
Please explain!

How many others smell a rat? (cfb483)
Worst part is that he (she?) truly believes their own rantings. Reality isn't a part of their world.

If you think you're justified in destroying other people's property for whatever reason, then please stay in North Carolina, "Christian".

Unless a particularly strong swimmer, getting from most anywhere off island to Puna would be oil intensive and somewhat hypocritical IMHO.

I know I am way behind in current lingo (s'up just makes me cringe) but what does Mu stand for?

My original question was meaningless, and not skillful speech.
