It is a common phrase in itself; “Common Sense”. What is it? It is born reason and logic, it is in the most common terms, instinct. But common sense is becoming a rarity. It is really more uncommon than its title suggests. Perhaps it is becoming scarcer because there are few who know they need it, others think little of it until it is of use to them, but when that time comes, they have forgotten it.” Why have something you ‘don’t need’?”, they may think in a world now where worries are nearly nonexistant. It is preparation that they lack, for preparation is part of common sense itself. The world may not be in the mess it is in today if people used the common sense they have. Do yourself and the world a favor, keep yours.

Disclaimer: This post is not meant to offend anyone, it’s just giving the other side of the story of veganism.

A vegan is, by definition, a strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products and does not use animal products. Veganism is a belief just like Christianity or Islam. It requires that you live your life by it. My thoughts on this are that veganism is an extension of vegetarianism by the ignorant. I say ignorance because they act without knowing the true facts. Here are some of the facts from a agricultural point of view:

Fact #1: Vegans cannot eat dairy. Many think it is a crime to take away the milk of a cow from its calf or that it is cruel and unnatural to milk a cow.

The truth is that cows have four teats and 1 calf on average. 1 calf cannot possibly drink all the milk it’s mother produces and it is weaned before its mother stops producing milk. Cows need to be milked everyday because if they are not milked, their udders will become swollen and sore. The milking machines that are used in modern farming are also thought to be inhumane to the cows by vegans, but they are designed to simulate a calf sucking on the teats. The fact is that cows need to be milked and it does neither them nor their calves any harm to use the milk in an efficient and useful manner.

Fact #2: Wearing wool is inhumane because you are taking away the animals protection.

Shearing sheep is a little like milking a cow. It does the sheep no harm whatsoever unless the shearer is unexperienced, which is very rare. Sheep grow wool continuously. If they are not sheared at least once per year they can become very uncomfortable and stressed, especially when it is hot and humid. The wool will become matted and more difficult to shear if it is not removed in a timely basis. When sheep are sheared, it is the equivalent of us getting a haircut, except that wool is very useful and can be used to make blankets and clothing. There really is no reason not to use fleece unless you are allergic or of similar difficulty.

Fact #3: Everyone can get along just fine without exploiting or using animal products.

This “fact” bothers me the most. Yes some people can get along without meat or animal products, but these people have jobs such as journalism or being a lawyer. What those who use this fact to defend veganism often forget is people. Here are some facts from the Future Farmers of America (FFA) website about the people behind the animals:

1. Agriculture is the nation’s largest employer with more than 22 million people working in some phase-from growing food and fiber to selling it at the supermarket.

2. There are 2.19 million farms in the United States. The average size of U.S. farms in 1999 was 432 acres.

3. Individuals, family partnerships or family corporations own 99% of U.S. farms with fewer than 10 stockholders. Non-family corporations own only 0.4% of America’s farms and ranches. (Many vegans argue about inhumane treatment of animals, but this is only on non-family farms or factory farms…also, 4.5 Farmers and ranchers provide food and habitat for 75% of the nation’s wildlife.)

4. The American farmer regains 20¢ of every dollar in agricultural products sold, 39¢ goes to labor, 6¢ goes to taxes and interest, 8.5¢ goes to packaging and the remainder goes to fuel, electricity, transportation, advertising, etc.

As you can see from just these 4 and a half facts, if everyone were to become vegan, thousands of people would go bankrupt. There are so many people in the world that live off the money they make from farming. If the world went vegan, economy would fall into chaos and world hunger would skyrocket. It’s fine for the vegan population now, but the entire world couldn’t survive vegan.

Veganism is an honorable belief because it takes such discipline and hard work to keep up with what you can and cannot do. It’s just another belief in the world.

How do we communicate? How can you tell what I’m saying right now? What is language? Dictionary.com says that language is: a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition. That definition is a little too formal for me. To me, language is a way to convey to others what you think. Languages are very widely dispersed. I guess that if it wasn’t for the Tower of Babel, we would all speak the same language. What would that be like? We would all be able to work together better and society wouldn’t be so disoriented and destructive. However, until we all speak the same language, we’ll have to make do with what we can do with our differences.

¿Cómo nos comunicamos? ¿Cómo puede usted decir lo que estoy diciendo ahora? ¿Cuál es lengua? Dictionary.com dice que es la lengua: un cuerpo de palabras y los sistemas para su uso común a una gente que están de la misma comunidad o nación, la misma área geográfica, o la misma tradición cultural. Esa definición es poco una demasiado formal para mí. A mí, la lengua es una manera de transportar a otras qué usted piensa. Las idiomas se dispersan muy extensamente. Conjeturo que si no estuviera para la torre de Babel, todos hablaríamos la misma lengua. ¿Como cuál eso sería? Todos podríamos trabajar juntos mejor y la sociedad no sería desorientada tan y destructiva. Sin embargo, hasta que todos hablamos la misma lengua, tendremos que conformarnos con lo que podemos hacer con nuestras diferencias.

Comment communiquons-nous ? Comment pouvez-vous dire ce que je dis en ce moment ? Quelle est langue ? Dictionary.com indique que la langue est : un corps des mots et les systèmes pour leur usage commun à un peuple qui sont de la même communauté ou nation, le même secteur géographique, ou la même tradition culturelle. Cette définition est peu trop une formelle pour moi. À moi, la langue est une manière de transporter à d’autres ce que vous pensez. Des langues sont très largement dispersées. Je devine que si elle n’était pas pour la tour de Babel, nous parlerions tout la même langue. Comme quoi est-ce que ce serait ? Nous pourrions tout travailler ensemble mieux et la société ne serait pas ainsi désorienté et destructif. Cependant, jusqu’à ce que nous tous parlions la même langue, nous devrons nous contenter de ce que nous pouvons faire avec nos différences.

Как мы связываем? Как можете вы сказать я говорю right now? Будет языком? Dictionary.com говорит что язык является следующим: тело слов и систем для их пользы общей к людям таких же общины или нации, такого же географическийа район, или такого же культурныа традиции. То определение немного слишком официально для меня. К мне, языком будет дорога транспортировать к другим вы думаете. Языки очень широко разметаны. Я угадываю что если он не был для башни babel, то мы все поговорили такой же язык. То было бы как? Мы все могли бы работать совместно более лучше и общество не было бы поэтому disoriented и разрушительно. Однако, до тех пор пока мы все не поговорить такой же язык, мы make do with мы можем сделать с нашими разницами.

Hoe communiceren wij? Hoe kunt u wat ik vertellen op dit ogenblik zeg? Wat is taal? Dictionary.com zegt dat de taal is: een lichaam van woorden en de systemen voor hun gebruik gemeenschappelijk voor mensen die van de zelfde gemeenschap of de natie, het zelfde geografische gebied, of de zelfde culturele traditie zijn. Die definitie is een weinig te formeel voor me. Aan me, is de taal een manier om aan anderen te vervoeren wat u denkt. De talen zijn zeer wijd verspreid. Ik veronderstel dat als het niet voor de Toren van Babel was, wij allen de zelfde taal zouden spreken. Zou wat dat als zijn? Wij allen zouden kunnen beter samenwerken en de maatschappij zou niet zo gedesorienteerd worden en vernietigend. Nochtans, tot wij allen de zelfde taal spreken, zullen wij moeten tevreden zijn met wat wij met onze verschillen kunnen doen.

Wie stehen wir in Verbindung? Wie können Sie erklären, was ich im Augenblick sage? Was ist Sprache? Dictionary.com sagt, daß Sprache ist: ein Körper von Wörtern und Systeme für ihren Gebrauch allgemein für Leute, die von der gleichen Gemeinschaft oder Nation, der gleiche geographische Bereich oder die gleiche kulturelle Tradition sind. Diese Definition ist für mich ein wenig zu formales. Zu mir ist Sprache eine Weise, zu anderen zu übermitteln, was Sie denken. Sprachen werden sehr weit zerstreut. Ich schätze, daß, wenn sie nicht für den Turm von Babel War, alle wir die gleiche Sprache sprechen würden. Wie was würde das sein? Alle wir würden in der LageSEIN, zusammen besser zu arbeiten und Gesellschaft würde nicht also verwirrt und zerstörend sein. Jedoch bis alle wir die gleiche Sprache sprechen, müssen wir uns zufriedengeben, mit was wir mit unseren Unterschieden tun können.

Πώς επικοινωνούμε; Πώς μπορείτε να πείτε τι λέω αμέσως; Τι είναι γλώσσα; Το Dictionary.com λέει ότι η γλώσσα είναι: ένα σώμα των λέξεων και των συστημάτων για τη χρήση τους κοινή για άνθρωποι που είναι της ίδιου κοινότητας ή του έθνους, της ίδιας γεωγραφικής περιοχής, ή της ίδιας πολιτιστικής παράδοσης. Εκείνος ο καθορισμός είναι λίγο πάρα πολύ επίσημος για με. Σε με, η γλώσσα είναι ένας τρόπος να μεταβιβάσει σε άλλοι τι σκέφτεστε. Οι γλώσσες είναι πολύ ευρέως διασκορπισμένες. Υποθέτω ότι εάν δεν ήταν για τον πύργο της Βαβέλ, όλοι θα μιλούσαμε την ίδια γλώσσα. Τι αυτός θα ήταν όπως; Όλοι θα ήμαστε σε θέση να εργαστούμε μαζί καλύτερα και η κοινωνία δεν θα αποπροσανατολιζόταν έτσι και καταστρεπτικός. Εντούτοις, έως ότου μιλάμε όλοι την ίδια γλώσσα, θα πρέπει να αρκεσθούμε σε τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε με τις διαφορές μας.

Come comunichiamo? Come potete dire a che cosa sto dicendo ora? Che cosa è lingua? Dictionary.com dice che la lingua è: un corpo delle parole ed i sistemi per il loro uso comune ad una gente che sono della stessa Comunità o nazione, la stessa zona geografica, o la stessa tradizione culturale. Quella definizione è poco troppo un convenzionale per me. A me, la lingua è un senso trasportare ad altri che cosa pensate. Le lingue molto ampiamente sono disperse. Indovino che se non fosse per la torretta di Babele, tutti parleremmo la stessa lingua. Che cosa quello sarebbe come? Tutti potremmo funzionare insieme più meglio e la società non sarebbe in modo da disoriented e distruttivo. Tuttavia, fino a che tutti non parliamo la stessa lingua, dovremo accontentarsi di che cosa possiamo fare con le nostre differenze.

Como nós nos comunicamos? Como pode você dizer o que eu estou dizendo para a direita agora? Que é língua? Dictionary.com diz que a língua é: um corpo das palavras e os sistemas para seu uso comum a um pessoa que são da mesma comunidade ou nação, a mesma área geográfica, ou a mesma tradição cultural. Essa definição é pouco uma demasiado formal para mim. A mim, a língua é uma maneira fazer saber a outra o que você pensa. As línguas são dispersadas muito extensamente. Eu suponho que se não for para a torre de babel, nós todos falaríamos a mesma língua. Que isso seria como? Nós todos poderíamos trabalhar junto mais melhor e a sociedade não seria assim que disoriented e destrutivo. Entretanto, até que nós todos falemos a mesma língua, nós teremos que contentar de o que nós podemos fazer com nossas diferenças.

我們怎麼通信? 您怎麼可以告訴什麼我現在說? 什麼是語言? Dictionary.com 認為, 語言是: 詞身體和是同樣社區或國家、同樣地理區域, 或同樣文化傳統的系統至於他們的使用共同對人民。那個定義是一少許太正式的為我。對我, 語言是一個方式轉達對其他人什麼您認為。語言非常廣泛被分散。我猜測如果它不是為巴比倫塔, 我們全部會講同樣語言。什麼那會是像? 我們全部能共同努力更好並且社會不會是因此迷失方向和破壞性。但是, 直到我們全部講同樣語言, 我們將必須湊合用什麼我們能做以我們的區別。

우리는 어떻게 교통하는가? 너는 어떻게 나가 지금 말하고 있는 것과 말해 좋은가? 언어는 무엇 이는가? 언어가 아래와 같는 것과Dictionary.com은 말한다: 사람에게 일반 그들의 사용을 위해 낱말의 몸 그리고 동일한 지역 사회의 또는 국가, 동일한 지리학적 구역, 또는 동일한 문화적인 전통 이는 체계. 저 정의는 나를 위해 조금 너무 형식적 이다. 나에게, 너가 생각하는 무엇을 언어는 다른 사람에 운반하는 방법 이다. 언어는 아주 넓게 이산된다. 그것이 바벨탑을 위해 이지 않으면, 우리는 모두 동일할 언어를 말할텐데 것을 나는 짐작한다. 저것은 무엇 이는가텐데? 우리는 모두 함께 일했 잘 사회는 그래서 방향을 잃게해 파괴 이고지 않. 그런데, 우리가 모두 동일한 언어를 말할 까지, 우리는 우리가 우리의 다름에 할 수 있는 것을 로 변통해야 할 것이다.

私達はいかに伝達し合うか。いかに私が今言っていることを言ってもいいか。言語は何であるか。Dictionary.com は言語が次のとおりであると言う: 人々に共通使用のための単語のボディそして同じコミュニティか国家、同じ各地、または同じ文化的な伝統であるシステム。その定義は私のための少し余りに形 式的である。私への、言語は考える何を他に運ぶ方法である。言語は非常に広く分散する。私はそれがバベルのタワーのためでなかったら、私達はすべて同じ言 語を話すことを推測する。それは何のようであるか。私達はすべてよりよく一緒に働けた、社会は従って戸惑わせられて有害なかったし。但し、私達がすべて同 じ言語を話すまで、私達はするために私達が私達の相違とすることができるものをと作らなければならない。
