It's a cliche, but a jury is made up of twelve 'people' too stupid to even manage to get out of jury duty.

There is approximately 0% this survives a high court challenge, unless the company's goes full r-slur, Dow Corning-style, and settles.

The data just isnt there.

Which means there should be a fat herd of lolcows just waiting to be milked for drama when this goes before America's Top Jannies.

I'll concede i stopped following this issue a few years back, but the data was weak then and i doubt much has changed since.

I dont have a dog in this fight, so if Bayer falls, i'm as keen to violate the carcass as anyone.

lol

IDK how you can say that unless you're an Monsanto shill or accidentally deep throated the whole boot. The evidence for glyphosate being carcinogenic is overwhelming. From animal studies, cell line studies with accelerated tumor growth, correlative studies looking at oxidative stress, longitudinal studies following farmers. All the evidence is there without contradiction.

Don't be a fricking corpo shill. Their propaganda is lying to you.

Everythings a god darn poison in the right amounts, r-slur. Injecting a significant amount of pure water into your veins is lethal.

" " " oxidative stress" " " oh no! Good point because OXYGEN is literally the most toxic molecule on the planet earth, harmful to the majority of it's lifeforms by raw phylogeny. We are extremely clever as organisms which exploit it for energy by carrying it around in an iron box called "hemoglobin"

glyphosate is demonstrably safe under normal/routine use

" " " oxidative stress" " " oh no! Good point because OXYGEN

Oxidative stress refers to the imbalance of unpaired valence electrons. Oxidative as in "Redox", not literally dioxygen. You fricking zero-education troglodyte.

glyphosate is demonstrably safe under normal/routine use

Indeed it is safer for the rest of us for you to ingest.

Reminds me of the flouride tards citing chinese papers in which people were burning clay in their huts as evidence fluoride was toxic.

They were being exposed to like 5000x the amount in drinking water.

Monsanto has been the boogyman for hippies and pinkos since the 1960s. Before it went to all-black nationalist programming there were decades where NPR was constantly pushing stories about Monsanto and they mostly turned out to be bullshit. But it's one of the few big bad corporations that midwits like you recognize the name of so it would keep getting dredged up.

Meanwhile there was no negative coverage of all the big pharma companies that paid for NPR.

I'm not defending Monsanto Bayer's baby-raping, their assassination of four U.S. presidents and replacing them with loyal clones, or the fact that they faked the moon landing.

I'm just saying the data in this particular case doesnt hold up.
