| Message | Define GM:P (leave that alone, it's impossible to answer well) The Rationalists are against this as we feel that the "threat" has been disproven when its effects are compared to conventional and organic farming, No religion as of yet has spoken out against GM foods |

| Message | We also admonish the Conservatives for rushing this and other issues to vote with little or no discussion |

| Message | Only reason i did this, is save you, most people are inactive. Another reason is, something as simple as a label, should not include a debate. and i have debated over the issues so many times, that if i have the power to attempt to get my way, i will go for it, for the most part. So our actions are very justified using basic logic. |

| Message | But much of this propagand against genetically modified is false, designed to get a response from the public. If we begin to label Gm crops, it will look as though there is something wrong with the crops. We will be supporting their propaganda campaign. |

| Message | Exactly, half a billion people a year eat GM soy and soy products (for the last 10 years), no side effects |
