the difference is that right now, you or anyone else in the thread can convincingly list a bunch of bad things they have done.

so far, there is not a single convincing (and barely any substantive) comments about the bad things monsanto has done. if you disagree, please, let's discuss why monsanto is, as many here claim, "evil"

I don't have time to get into that discussion, but if you google "the most evil company in the world" you'll see they're fighting it out with De Beers and one or two others for the top spot. There's also plenty on Wikipedia:

They're basically 80s/90s Microsoft at its worst, but in agriculture of both the developed and developing world (the latter being particularly heinous).

You don't think you're maybe proving the wrong point when, after being asked to provide evidence for the argument that Monsanto is evil, you respond "just Google for most evil company in the world"?

If you really want to pursue that point, maybe you want to start by reconciling it with the fact that by that scale, Monsanto is competing with Activision, Ford Motor, and Coca Cola (all of which appear alongside it on the top half of the first Google SERP for "most evil company in the world").

i'm seeing literally dozens of comments saying that it monsanto is the most evil company that exists, and literally, not one comment giving a single concrete reason why it is.

why is hitler evil? i can tell you in 8 words. he ordered the deaths of millions of people.

why is monsanto evil? seriously, name ONE thing that makes them evil.

Monsanto knowingly engages in unethical activities that could jeopardize large portions of the world's food supply.

[andylei]

what are these activities? producing GMOs? high yield crops have enabled the feeding of hundreds of millions if not billions of people who would otherwise died of starvation.

Nothing wrong with GMOs, lots and lots wrong with Monsanto.

Monsanto makes Microsoft look pretty good.
