Do you realize that Greenpeace's anti-GMO campaigns have indirectly caused the deaths of thousands of people?

At least you have BBC and Ars Technica, those are somewhat redeeming. ;)

No. While Greenpeace and PETA may be a bit mainstream these days, and are obviously going from one publicity stunt to another, I feel that the good that both organizations do, by far outweigh the very little bad.

PETA euthanizes many (in fact, a majority) perfectly adoptable and healthy animals it takes in. I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing...

I'd say the supporting of extremist fire bombers that have set medical research back for decades in a few fields somewhat outweighs all the "good things" PETA has done...

Euthanasia is one of the many realities of animal rescue. My girlfriend helped start the animal rescue shelter in my county, which eventually closed after she left, due to the fact that the facility was inefficient in euthanizing animals and was eventually overrun. Often, it's not a failure of the organization to find homes for these animals. It's the failure of our government to enforce needed laws, such as requiring all pets to be spayed or neutered, and for all pet owners to be licensed as such, just to name a couple. There are too many animals in this country and far too few people that are willing to take on the responsibility of rescuing and caring for them. I would recommend that you read this. It's really not a complicated issue. Just remember that people are stupid, thus making euthanasia necessary.

While I'm not opposed to creating a PETA thread, it's very time-consuming to debate philosophical issues when you're most likely going to be outnumbered a hundred to one. If the old religious forum is any indication of what would occur, it would most likely result in an encyclopedia of worthless posts with maybe 2-3 relevant ones that generally end in people agreeing to disagree. However, if someone starts a thread, I would try to at least participate on some level, but don't really have the time nor interest in taking it beyond a certain point.
2006-12-29, 9:43 PM #18
To that, I can agree with you.

Campaigning against technology that has saved billions of lives is "very little bad"? Like I said, they've convinced third world countries to not use GMO crops, leading to thousands, probably millions dead from starvation.

I disagree with your perspective. If a racist white man hangs a black man and cites reading Hitler as his reasons for doing so, is Hitler really to blame? I don't think so. You can't logically blame an organization's point of view for the deaths of thousands of people when it was ultimately the decision of the government. I don't blame Muhammad every time a plane goes ramming in to the side of a building in my country. Oh, and I'm against the genetic modification of plants and animals.

On the contrary, can you leave some blame on a teacher who taught kids to hate black people when the children now exhibit racism? Alot of these African countries are at mercy of developed countries when it comes to dealing with GMO foods. They have neither the facilites to test and study genetically-modified foods nor any experience in dealing with this type of goods. They can only listen. And when they get an impression that GM food is bad, bad and bad from these foreign organizations, the biased protests do affect their stance on this issue. Sure it is a poor decision by these certain African countries to reject food of any kind, but the fact is, there must be some, significant influence upon the perspective of these 3rd-world countries for them to make such a decision.

Really only Massassi. I usually check PA when the new comic comes out, and I started reading SA again (though I don't know if I'll continue with this when I go back to school). I also go to Home of the Underdogs, but not as frequently as Massassi.

You mean the little good that both of them do? The latter sneaking onto people's property and poisoning dogs because they don't believe in pet ownership? Or do you mean euthanizing more animals than local animal shelters because thats how they "save" animals?

PETA doesn't actually do anything other than annoy people, hurt people, and hurt animals.
2006-12-30, 2:51 PM #33
PS, You can't use the source that we are debating the validity of practice, as a source to support your arguments.

That's like using hotsauce and a butter knife to cure cancer.

How about this for starters? While there are plenty of other organizations out there making a difference, only a fool could claim that any of them have done more good in the battle for animal rights than PETA. Hell, just the fact that the average Joe such as yourself even knows about PETA is proof enough. You can disagree with their tactics all day long, but at the end of that day, your opinion is just that...an opinion. Not only is it an opinion, it's an incredibly misinformed one at that.

I don't see any sources in your argument. However, I do see media regurgitation all over it. What kind of sources would you expect someone to pull out of their *** in the middle of a philosophical debate? Why didn't you mention the fact that PETA euthanized 90% of all of the animals that they took in for just one year? There are plenty of statistics available. The difficulty that you're going to have with debating this issue with me is that you're never going to be able to prove that this is a bad thing. I only wish that PETA had the power to euthanize more animals. I believe that every single person in my country who wants to "own" a pet should have to be certified. I believe that every single "pet" in my country should be spayed or neutered except for those that are necessary to keep the breed going. I believe that there are too many pets out there for the government to keep tabs on and thinning out that population would be a step in the right direction for being able to take some type of control over this situation. I believe a lot of things that most of you probably don't agree with, but that's a philosophical difference, and nothing that you can say or do is going to change anything. It's all based on perspective.

Your analogy would work if these countries had simply read some of Greenpeace's literature on the issues. Greenpeace actually sent people over there to convince them that GMO crops are poison.

:downs: GE crops have saved billions of lives. Billions. I'd estimate at least 35 million 72 million people died during World War II. Norman Borlaug, the father of GE crops, was estimated to have saved over one billion lives when he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. By that estimation, the number of people killed in World War II is about 3.5% 7.2% of what one man's work has done.

Edit: Fixed WWII statistic. It still pales in comparison to the lives GE crops have saved.
