Throwing away the bad plants etc.

Tomatoes didn't just appear as they are, gardeners deliberately cross-pollinated them.

See also livestock.

# true
the average sheep is now over twice the size it was 250 years ago.
and cows have had all the intelligence bred out of them.

# actually all DNA
is more or less the same
so the fish DNA in plants is the same as cross-breading plants with other plants.

irrationality is the enemy of progress.

# Maximum credible (proppelled by the media) and most likely are two different things
If GM is done wisely, it could be controlled. Although with any luck we can get around ever needing it.

btw: my "funny if it wasnt true" remark was in general rather than specific to GM crops.

# it's generally down
to media induced hysteria. distortion and such.

a recent study into video violence showed that there is no causal link that watch violence makes you wanna commit violence but it's just violent people have more of an affinity to watch violent things. no real news coverage coz it goes against the national hegemony. damn you hegemony!!

Edit: my generally might not be all that general.. but more often that not in my opinion
