The anti-GMO DUers are going full blast with the woo attacks today.

This is like anti-vaxers who link to whale.to, age of autism, and the NVIC.

Incredible to see their true selves being shown.

Now we know why they were so upset about Google going with science.

5. Anti-GMO woo is still popular in many liberal circles.

I don't know how the right-wing feels about GMO's, though.

If I showed you the posts that have been deleted, well, it's funny. I'm sure I had many others that should have been "handled" by the jury system. Still, it appears that an anti-GMO poster can make most any attack, and have a jury let them go.

What a fucking joke this site has become. Plain and simple.

[font color=teal]I simply don't have the patience to debate these people.

No matter how many studies you show them, no matter how many scientists you point to showing consensus on the issue, no matter how many flawed arguments you knock down they just keep denying the science.

It is like the advocates for the aquatic ape hypothesis, they are able to fabricate more fake evidence and bad arguments than the debunkers can ever hope to keep up with.[/font]

I wish I were better at it. I'm too emotional. Other DUers are incredible with dealing with these folks. Orrex, for example, is amazing.

11. Ever try (emphasis on try) to debate a creationist?

Logic and evidence gets thrown right out the window, just like the anti-vaxxers, and the anti-GMO'ers.

"God said the Bible is absolutely accurate!"

"Where did God say this?"

"In the Bible."
