    Jack Seal VERY smart of the Haitians... Have you seen what Monsanto has done here in the USA to organic farmers? Farmers here have to PROVE that they do not have any Monsanto GMO seeds, even a small fraction. The "seeders" (people who take a specific portion of your harvest and extract seeds from i… Read more »t.) have all but been put out of buisness through Patent Infringement Lawsuits.
    Rally, revolt, protest! Keep GMOs out any way you can... once they are in, you are done. IMHO.

    Classhive April Having watched Food Inc, I have really negative feelings about Monsanto and how they are basically suing farmers without any proof that they have Monsanto seeds. Everything you said Jack is exactly what frustrates me. Someone needs to say that due to nature, there is no way to keep seeds patented be… Read more »cause the traits get spread through pollination!

    Christina Kirk I HATE speaking in public unless I feel REALLY confident about the topic, and there aren't many topics that I do.

    amy adams I hate public speaking, too! But, I found if you just try to 'keep it real' it's easier (rather than trying to memorize or perform stuff).

    Christina K. I've noticed that most of the male flight attendants on most of the flights I've taken recently are more effeminate. Why do airlines prefer to hire effeminate flight attendants?

    05/26/2010 in Humanities

    Classhive April I would bet it's not airline preference but the type of people attracted to the job.

    05/26/2010

    Christina Kirk I thought of that, but it's a really popular job, I bet a lot of different types of people apply, but yea, maybe more women and gay or effeminate guys, than strait guys.
