a vossa democracia percebe-se bem: invadir uma conferência onde não estão representados todos os pontos de vista! dá para ver a vossa noção de liberdade...

e que dizer da nossa amiga Ana?! "vamos protestar com criatividade, através das artes"

aliás vê-se a maturidade desta gente ao fazer caretas enquanto o outro senhor falava... creçam e desapareçam!

It makes me sad ( I'm 41 ) to see these young people try and save the world. We tried in the 60s too. The rich bastards who polluted the world with oil when they new they could use non polluting fuels are now trying to kill us with our own food to save themselves and their children from global warming.

@joaohafane GMO is biotech. Science is on GMOs side. I do not know what studies they are supported by, however I do know that in science a couple of studies can claim something while others claim another thing. A couple of studies is not the same as facts.

It's extremely reductive and unrespectfull to say that Science is in the GMO's side. Biotec is a technology, with amazing potentials. GAIA, Green Peace and other environmental and social activists are supported by scientific studies and give light to another reality. Some major companies that rule economically and explore GMO's have major social and eccological impacts that need to be considered.

Bravo this is a world wide movement challenging the patenting ,poor biased science ,sheer greed and hype of an untested experiment in the last 13 or so years.We all have a right to have gmo free food or at the least honest labelling of such a mentality

[chigeh]

civilians are bombarded with anti gmo misconceptions, they have the right to here the othere side of the story

on the other hand nice music but you guys remain morons

Lack of scientific culture and lies, join it with troublemakers and rebels without a cause and BAM! You got yourself an army of drones, who - and this is the fun part - will call the other guys "drones" and "slaves of the system"

Good point. They have built self contained underground bunkers for themselves. The Wallmart family has a massive bunker. Maybe people should pickit outside stores. Most dont know what a GMO is. My neighbor asked me the other day & it was the 5th time I told her. I keep telling everyone I know when they ask again & no one can remember day to day. The small group of kids fighting like the 1960's is not large enough. Maybe the rest are to poisoned. We need a million man march again. It is sad.

I think they should have brought guns or fire bombs.
