gm food aint nothin bad, if anything its better!...granted nuclear weapons were probably a mistake, but it did give rise to so many advancements in knowledge, as wel as nuclear power, which is the best replacement for fossil fuels imo 
but hey ive always been, and always will be, a science man 
cant agree about nuclear power..i think thats an accident waiting to happen(as in India and Japan) also GM food is frankenstein as far as i am concerned and i like to know what i'm eating.....i like natural foods not stuff that has been mucked about by scientists. too many people on planet earth thats all down to scientists with their "Test Tube babies", oh yeah and Thalidimide-that was all down to scientists too along with the drug companies
all popular misconceptions im afraid, modern nuclear power stations are exceptionally safe, the only times they go wrong is without due dilligence, or when built on bloody fracture lines where they can get ruined by earthquakes, the chances of a modern power station going into meltdown is almost 0
gm food is still natural, they use genes found in nature usually, or make very minor adjustments to the genome, changing just 1 or 2 genes can cost like 50 million or more!....and the way genetic engineering is going they are beginning to use whats known as directed evolution machine, which is essentially using evolution in overdrive to develop a specific trait in your plant....so its pretty much nature anyway!
cant say test tube babies are a bad thing myself, but thalidomide was an abomination, that was a total lapse in scientific procedure and proper medical testing, someone dropped the ball in a big way, but it wasnt science, they did follow proper scientific procedure, personally i dont think a few small instances of human error should reflect badly on the field of science myself
yeah i can chat for hours on this stuff xD
