CanuckRow Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Good cause, but we can never beat these corporations. They might as well be fighting the government because it's nearly the same thing. The American government is all for protecting these billion dollar corporations that help fund the government, while not even paying taxes.

hsedin33 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Once upon a time slavery was viewed as acceptable. Saying never is defeatist. GM used to be one of the biggest companies on the planet, now it's a ghost of what it once was. Remember, every revolution begins with just one person saying no.

Amish Rake Fighter Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 A lot of Monsanto employees won't even eat their product, the British head office cafeteria went fully organic in the '90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buggernut Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 How could anyone so blatantly and shamelessly back out of a promise that he made so boldly? Has he worn out his welcome with both conservatives and liberals alike yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamero89 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I hate people who just, either slam the idea, or say it won't cause change. Maybe it won't, but at least these people are trying. What are you doing to make the world a better place? Probably nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 If you haven't seen it before watch this documentary called Food Inc. It touches upon the nastiness of Monsanto as well as a few other corporations that produce the majority of food. For me personally it may end up being life altering. I'm going to start buying some of my foods straight from regular farmers at the farmers market here in Buffalo. Even though I watched it for the first time just about a week ago, the movie/documentary was made in 2008. What's sad is that things have gotten even worse since then (especially with Monsanto). What's even sadder is that it's starting to spread to other countries besides here in the U.S. I found a link on Youtube to the movie. If you don't mind the closed captioning on the bottom it's worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCcdaMbeCUA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucklehead Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I checked but I don' think so. I'm sure they're headquarters will be marched upon though seeing this map of planned protests around the world. It looks pretty intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
