BAYER reponsible for Pesticide as Cause of Massive Bee Deaths

[bigrebnc1775]

Is the cannabis crop in danger? That might account for the hysteria on the left.

Actually, the great thing about cannabis is that it doesn't require pesticides. It is why we, as a country, should remove the ridiculous restriction on industrial hemp.

Oh, and all of our crops are in danger if we don't have any pollinators like bees and bats.

Satan must be getting his ski jacket fitted for him to wear.

The only people who think this is a laughing matter are the ones who have little to no education in the field of agriculture. It's sad to see otherwise intelligent people making jokes about a problem that could possibly cause a worldwide famine in their lifetime.

Eh...don't sweat it. We'll either live on Newt's moon colony or we'll just eat the poor.

Soylent GREEN!!!

 

[CaughtInTheMid]

this is serious situation that needs to be addressed......Bees are pretty important to our ecosystem...........

yup.

i remember 60 Minutes doing a segment about this a while back. no one had a clue what was happening then. i hope that they've really found the culprit and the bee population can recover (because they really are important to many other crops).

You can't live free in a contained area so I will stay right here doing my own thing.

I am so shocked that you would joke about such issues!!!

Of course the comedy has nothing to do with action based false and misleading conclusions. One would think we would be used to that by now.

Evil big aspirin!

Because....as we all know.....aspirin is ALL that Bayer makes.

We know what bees do. Honey Bee hives have been killed by a mite infestation and American corporations have been developing stuff that kills the mites. Why is that concept so alien to the radical left? It's not surprising during a socialist administration that we pay government "experts" to blame the people who are doing their best to fix the problem.

and during a Rightie administration they pay the experts to downplay a serious matter or to cover it up......look at the posts here.....many of the "righties" are joking about this while the "lefties" are taking a serious problem seriously.......you guys on the Right make some things that Dean says about you kinda truthful...........that should be enough to make you wanna act a little more serious about a serious situation....

I am more concerned about the decimation of the bee than I am about a lie called man made global warming.

Funny you would believe one and not the other.

The Republican Argument:

You can't believe anything a scientist has to say. They have an agenda. Besides, many are "over educated". Besides, bees "sting". We need to get rid of them anyway. And that darned EPA. Always protecting "bugs". We need to get rid of that too. Let farmers "farm". Stop coddling plants. They will grow without bees. Besides, plants love carbon dioxide.

rdean stop being an asshole. read my posts. stop being an idiot. please. I'm asking nice.

this is a true issue that goes both sides of the aisle here.

Somedays I'd like to think we can work together. I know. Slap me upside the head as soon as I post it takes a village

but for true I really worry about pollinators. omg I need cable.

I was being totally serious. Republicans think science is a faith, evolution a lie and climate change a conspiracy. Go through the posts. Right wingers say very similar things to what I wrote. I just do it in a mocking manner, but they mock reason.

Because I can see one and only see reports that have been suspiciously manipulative from the other.

You have to stop broad brushing dearheart.

Seriously, a lot of conservatives hearts are with the land, we hunt, we fish, we garden.

I live in a land of bald eagles and golden eagles. I had my rocker days and loved the cities too.

One of the reasons that I turned around on global warming was that it became a political issue rather than a science issue. Consensus is bullshit.

And there was this one really cool scientist out of Iceland. Damn trying to remember his name. He was taking all the AGW people to task saying all you are doing is setting up another mechanism for the elite to "green" out money from useful idiots.

When you have Republicans insisting we disband the EPA? Where is the "outcry"?

GIVE

What you have are extremes. When Carter first started the EPA it was a good thing. Look my Prime Minister CONSERVATIVE Mulroney helped convince Reagan on acid rain.

AND WE FIXED IT.

But it wasn't bullshit throwing money at a problem. We freaking fixed it. I could probably tell you more stuff than you ever needed to know about the environment and I am a conservative.

I am a conservationist. But if we keep just attempting to beat each other over the head and trying to make everyone and anyone a villain we just lose in the end.

We just lose in the end my friend.

My advice is to watch this video it may open your eyes about why the bees are dying out.

in another thread on this last Summer or so Intense when the mite was mentioned as a possible culprit.....take a guess who then started joking about mites and Bees while the other side was talking about the seriousness of the matter?....

Must have been Jewish bees.

 

[tinydancer]

I am truly terrified that they are attempting to sterilize mosquoitoes in the name of dengue fever.

This is wrong. This is very very wrong.

 

[tinydancer]

Must have been Jewish bees.

No shit salt. If you remove the pollinators you've got one hell of a problem on your hands.

No joke. No fun. No shit. It's a biggy.

 

[tinydancer]

Now I can pollinate. I know how to do this. But hell's bells it would take me days on end to do a wheat field. What the hell do we have if they wipe out bees and mosquitoes?
