starving people is ok with the RATS, less people means less globull warming and stuff...

Gates is a very single minded geek. It would be marvelous if he targets this hooey for destruction.
Bill Gates does put his money where his month is unlike most of the left.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Linus Torvalds joined in too :-)
Bill Gates kinda does have enough money to bankroll his own food and aid airdrops into Africa...
But the left doesn’t care about actual people actually starving.
They don’t much care if they are machetied to death either.
There are larger concerns.
If he'd bothered reading some of the better anti-Communist literature of the 1940s and 1950s written by ex-Commies he'd already known this.
Man's wasted 3/4 of his life on a foolish quest.
You mean people at Free Republic cannot recognize black propaganda. Not only are GMO’s untested there is no procedure for them to be tested. We are losing plant diversity while six corporations control world food production. The response to this garbage is abysmal.
I think these HIV ridden, overpopulating people need to be sterilized as a result of accepting our aid. NO FORCED STERILIZATION, but voluntary if they want our food. They have no business breeding if they can’t even feed themselves. Survival of the fittest - only the strongest of people further their genes into the human future. Oh, and for anybody who say I say this because they’re Africans, I say the same for any population who - for centuries - have starved, warred with won another, and have been led by losers and have done nothing with one of the most naturally eco-rich continent on earth.
Gates is a bright enough guy but politically retarded.
A few years ago he was rudely shocked at an AIDS gathering when, after suggesting that maybe the native rabbits should be encouraged to cut down on their indiscrimante screwing, he was howled down by the feral copuloids of the Leftwing F*ck-factories.
He shoulda' known better. Then and now.
Amen!
parsy, who thinks Frankenfood is an appropriate term
Bill Gates proposed something that made SENSE! GAK!
If keeping the “genetic diversity” (non human introduced, that is) means to starve the Africans, why let’s starve the Africans!
(...somehow they forgot that the old hybrid grain seeds are also genetically modified, just in a more traditional low-tech way.)
Remember reading only a few weeks back (iowahawk?) about the recent demise of an old Iowan farmer who had toiled for decades to bring third world farms up to first world production capacities (not to mention helping first world operations improve). GM was unknown then, but this did not deter him. GM is no magic wand promising naught but good, but if it helps the breeding process achieve its goals more easily, I am certainly not standing ready with boos and hisses.
For some in the Green Left, starving the Africans is the bottom line. They consider “overpopulation” the greatest threat facing the world, so if something “culls the surplus population,” it’s good in their eyes. Gates has funded population groups — but he is a heretic from the Green religion on this.
I will go half way there with ya! It is of great concern that such a small number of corporations do indeed control so much of food production. Monsanto is no corporate saint and they have been known to go after farmers who do not do what they tell them to.
There are however seed banks popping up all over the world but like one poster said there are not a lot of original seeds left that have not been changed by ‘normal’ breeding methods.
GM foods are widely tested - on humans all over the world! Another 30 years and we should see any negative results start to tally up.
If I was a poor African I would rather eat and I wouldn’t care where it came from or who made it!

Which would put whatever farmers who are still in business out of business. The solution for Africa needs to come from within Africa. Outsiders could help with wells and infrustructure and in country education in peaceful countries and sell them things when they have money. Africa would be much better off without all the meddling.
If I had a child, I’d sure rather have him die of cancer at 80 than starvation at 8.
Truly, truly if they forced us to go back to heirloom seeds we’d be much less healthy and many more would be starving. Just the changes that hybridization has brought has increased yields much less genetically modified.
The only crop I really know about with the GM is cotton, the yields are doubled or more.
