Was it something I said?.............

No mate,just some have VERY strong opinions on this & really want to have the last word

[Bigmallly]

Phew.........That's ok then.

[zazen999]

No Zaz,you know exactly what G4 means

I see you and G4 going on about 'getting the tin hats' and 'bunfights' when everyone else seems to be discussing a topic and putting their points across. Can't see any buns flying at all.

Why not state your opinions then?

If people just talk about stuff without getting personal, then what's wrong with a little debate?

I suspect that like myself Bearded Bloke has seen these things get out of hand. Elsewhere and on a completely different forum one became very nasty. Odd thing was no-one stepped in to lock the thread until some pretty violent threats had been made and what some peoples opinions of others could probably have gone to court.

As a small note

The big agrochemical companies are driven by the profit motive

All companies are driven by the profit motive. The purpose of all companies is to make a profit. If any company only made a loss then it would cease to exist. The amount of money coming in has to exceed the amount going out. What would happen to the companies that we work for if they never made a profit? How it makes that profit is or may be the concern. However making a profit is the bottom rule for any company.

Of course companies are there to make a profit. Doesn't make them right though.

#30 I agree totally.

As regards to smoking I am a lifelong expert to my shame.

In mitigation I started smoking at a young age about 1960. Back then it was portrayed as glamorous and the cool thing of its day, most of the film stars were seen to be smoking, most politicians smoked to. In 1971 I lived close to Players Bond where the tobacco first arrived and the number of lorries going in there everyday was enormous.

However I think your right Zarz even then some knew its was bad for you, they may not have realised just how bad but they knew it was bad. Back then the saying was 'its not the coughing that's the trouble, its the coffin they carry you off in'.

Potty nearly cured after all these years

Anyway - play nicely all. I have an essay to write.

Happy November 1st.

Kirk re#36.

I can assure you that won't happen on this forum. Our mods are the bees knees when it comes to that sort of thing.

Bayer are currently suing Europe for banning their pesticides; because the pesticides were killing bees. And without bees we all have no food. Business talks louder than humans, unfortunately.

You gotta wonder if Bayer may have a point,given that the BBA were against that particular ban

[binley100]

BBA?.....

Yeah, isn't that because they were in receipt of funding from Bayer? Ban them from Europe and the funding goes...
