    Sure, you’ve just described one of the ways that Monsanto is evil. Keeping a deathgrip on the seed production and making the cost of signing another contract just slightly less than the cost of a potential legal battle is scummy as hell. Instead of making things up to be mad at, let’s be mad at them for that.

    I feel that I’m correct because by both the strict definition of the word suing, and the inclusion of out of court settlements, I can’t find any examples of Monsanto pursuing any sort of legal action against farmers who accidentally grew their crops when the seeds were spread by natural means.

    Don’t get me wrong, the concept of patenting a living thing is ghoulish and evil, and farmers should absolutely be allowed to grow whatever seeds they want. Just don’t misrepresent someone intentionally breaching a contract as something totally accidental and out of their control

    Sure, it would be incorrect to totally mischaracterized Harris voters as “[loving] watching Israel kill babies.” That’s not really analogous to itsonlygeorge’s comment, since our whole argument has been ‘Trump will let Israel kill more babies, so we should stop him however we can’ and the anti-electoralists’ whole argument has been ‘both candidates will let Israel kill babies, so it’s better to let the greater evil win than vote for the lesser evil’

    Like, you guys got what you want. Harris lost, just like you wanted.

    You are technically correct, in a way that would make Hermes Conrad blush. It is true, that nobody said “Trump will fix everything.” itsonlygeorge didn’t say that anyone literally said that exact phrase. It’s an exaggeration of the actual verbal abuse we’ve been subject to for the last year or so.
