Jan 10th, 2014 - 10:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is amazing to me the savior of the Arg economy is not welcomed with open arms.
Jan 10th, 2014 - 11:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do they want any business in that country?
Methinks not
@3 Which is more important, the arg economy or the arg people? From the example provided by those that appear on here, I don't have a lot of time for the arg “people”. But I do think they should be apprehended in the act of current crimes or prosecuted for past (war) crimes before we execute them. In the meantime, we have to consider the deleterious effects of Monsanto biological weapons around the world. Simple example is planted GM biological weapons being sprayed with noxious chemicals. Those chemicals can have no effect unless they enter the plant structure. The chemical must still be present when the plant is harvested, sold and eaten. I wouldn't buy anything from argieland. Or anywhere else pushing GM.

Jan 10th, 2014 - 02:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Monsanto has no regard for human health, property rights, the environment, etc. They would let any country they do business in burn if it means making massive profits. I'm sure certain botox inflated hags can relate.
If this goes through, it will be another nail in the coffin, and it could severely damage the agricultural industry in Argentina which is key for the economic recovery after the witch meets her fiery end.
If the farmers don't stop overusing the pesticides and not rotating the crops you won't have an agriculture industry.
Jan 10th, 2014 - 02:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is predicted in less than a decade Argentina will have ruined most of their farming land.
That prediction included Monsanto.
Jan 10th, 2014 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0With this move, Argentina secured the agriculural Industry for at least another century...
How so?
Jan 10th, 2014 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do you think Argentina will stop using Monsanto products?
Yeah okay
and you created free energy
dufus
Europe kicked Monsanto out. I see no reason as to why SA shouldn't...
Jan 10th, 2014 - 03:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Keep your worm meat and poisoned chewables, thank you very much.
We are talking specifically about Argentina and the way they get U$ is by GM SOY. Nobody is making them grow it and it would be the destruction of their way of life to give it up.
Jan 10th, 2014 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They'd be back to the 1800s way of life pretty quick since they wouldn't have the U$ to pay for fuel.
Do you ever think through things or does your ideology prevent it?
Sure yanqui...
Jan 10th, 2014 - 03:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You guys should stop acquireing your poisoned chewables in boxes and tubes.
Intravenous is way more efficient. And it will help your GNP, you'll need it to counter that peculiar moving ceiling of yours...
Does that jumble of words make sense in Stevieland?
Jan 10th, 2014 - 03:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Up your dosage until you fall asleep and stop bothering us with inane and insane posts please.
@11 Your posts didn't make your stance clear. Do you support or detest Monsanto? It sounded like an incomprehensible mixture of both obscured by insults aimed at yankeeboy.

Monsanto are basically bond villians and should be shown the door .when you try to sue someone because you contaminated their crop you've gone total bond bad guy.
Jan 13th, 2014 - 08:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Only truly stupid people blame a mfg for the incorrect uses of the products they sell.
Jan 13th, 2014 - 02:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the label says don't drink the poison and you do it is nobody's fault but your own.
He seems to forget about the GM soy and cornand that China was balking over it and now accepts it. perhaps this will jog his memory banks.

Though I have to say that I stay away from food treated with chemicals and shit.
