In reply to the discussion: Monsanto's Roundup Weedkiller Linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS [View all]Squinch
(50,934 posts)160. The OP is about the fact that Roundup is a poison that is damaging people. You and your buddies
seem to have been rendered insensible, as usual, by the fact that someone pointed out that this is true, and that you obviously are fully aware it is true.
We could keep going around and around, with you changing the subject to anything else, and doing your best to distract from the fact that you obviously know that Roundup is a poison that is damaging people. But your hysteria is very tiresome.
So I will leave you all to your teeth-gnashing against anyone who points out the obvious fact that Roundup is a poison that is damaging to people.
I do, however, admire your stamina in proving your loyalty to this poison that is damaging to people.
Have a lovely day!

Have you never had a lawn? Millions of people spray Roundup on the weeds in their lawn.

Of course, if you use it on the weeds in your lawn, you will probably kill lawn, too.
