While you can find online claims that GMOs cause farting, they may also be [part of the solution](https://www.the-american-interest.com/2017/06/20/gmo-cow-gut-bacteria-reduce-methane-emissions/). 🙂 ---

I can fart pretty good, but I need to step up my game now. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Yet you have zero problem with having a 5-year-old mentality in charge of the country. > [@Clothahump](#): > > Since that is not the case, your statement is meaningless. In the interest of establishing that it is NOT the case that you have zero problem with having a 5-year-old mentality in charge of the country, would you be good enough to provide examples of your having a non-zero problem with the America-hating fuckstick presently befouling the Oval Office being a 5-year-old mentality being in charge of the country? I want it understood, not only by the casual reader, but by you personally, that Donald J. Trump is the America-hating fuckstick to whom I refer (if only to deprive you of the opportunity to respond with phrasing that can be construed as an honest misinterpretation of my declaration\* that Donald J. Trump is an America-hating fuckstick). - “Declaration,” as in “declaration of FACT.” Because it is a FACT, as opposed to a mere assertion, or opinion, that Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, hates every worthwhile virtue and principle to which America, in her idealized form, aspires. And that he’s a fuckstick, with the mentality of a 5-year-old. ---

What on earth makes you think they don’t need micromanaged. The same legislature that passed a bill, SB 1383: to **Control Cow Flatulence**? Clearly this initiative was funded by the Big Cork lobby. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > According to the article, the woman who started the initiative " believes cancer, autism and other diseases are linked to exposure to toxic chemicals, genetically modified organisms or radiation". Thing is, the link between toxic chemicals and radiation in producing multiple diseases including cancer and any and all forms of poisoning has been well-established. The problem is in the leap between what’s been established and the rest of her beliefs. Reminds me of one of my Idiot Aunt’s speeches: there’s no link between roasting herself at the beach with no sunscreen and breast cancer, her breast cancer was caused by radiation. But she’s a MOTHER! A mother always know!
