Sure wish this thread would die. I'm going over to the Prepared Society forum and not coming back because of all the anti-everything people on here.

I repeat, never ever saw a weed problem in any grain field which we grew other than thistles. Those fields were full of annual weeds when corn was planted in them and required cultivating at least twice to stay ahead of them. Their seeds were still in the soil when planted to grain but could not germinate due to the grain being ahead of them. Any weeds which could be a problem would have to be perennials which come back from the roots, not seeds.

China has nuclear weapons, so we shouldn't worry about North Korea or Iran getting them, right?

Women in the Middle East are stoned to death because they were raped, so we should focus on that and ignore it when women in the U.S. are beaten by their spouses?

Since hot-dogs contained all sorts of processed stuff that isn't good for you, then we shouldn't complain that tortillas contain more stuff that isn't good for you?
