I encourage all sides to comment and have an intellectual dialogue.Joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13301051460187782023noreply@blogger.comBlogger111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129040987341464957.post-45377814476006701352010-01-05T07:25:00.001Z2010-01-05T07:36:58.650Z

This skit is a few weeks old, but it shows how poor of a job the media does covering issues people should know about.Granted, there are plenty of other issues the media can pay attention to, but for starters, here are a few ideas of what the media can look into.

The following two posts were old, however I deleted them by accident, so I'm reposting them:Now, I don’t mean to anger Christians by saying this since I am one myself, but why are so many of us fake about our churches teachings? No, no, I’m not talking about all of the picayune viewpoints that our churches tell us to follow or even going to church every weekend; I could care less about them. I’m

More than half of dog owners in the US bought their dogs a Christmas present this year. Ninety percent pampered them with treats throughout the year. And common sense will tell you that nearly all of these pet owners mourn the death of their animal. Then what happens? What force nixes this steadfast love for animals when we sit down and eat? We would never think of torturing a dog, yet every time

You would be amazed how many people think, because I’m a vegan, I’m automatically a raging liberal. I’ve never understood this. For some reason, when I first tell someone, “Hey, I’m a vegan”, they think they know all of my political and lifestyle choices. One person, the first time I met him, even invited me to the largest drug selling event in all of the North East! He must have confused me

Being a vegan, I get my fair share of dumb questions, but today truly topped the cake. Now, by dumb questions, I mean some dumb questions! Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? Can vegans eat fish? And aren't we meant to eat meat? But this one was by far the most dim-witted question I’ve gotten in a while:Both plants and animals are alive, so what’s the difference between the two? You’re no

From time to time you hear various environmentalists expressing their distain of the government subsidies towards biofuels which totals around 6 billion a year. This is certainly worthy of attention as these fuels are counterproductive in solving our environmental problems, but I find it particularly funny that environmentalists still have not questioned the government subsides on animal

As some of you may know, Animal Testing is one particular area which I take great interest in, so last week, when I came across an article which claims scientists may have found a cure for diabetes, I wanted to dig deeper into the study.In short, these scientists from Baylor, used a process called Gene Therapy where they take a gene called neurogenin3, attach it to a virus which then delivers the

This last week was Meat-out week at Penn State. Meat-out is a national event where Vegetarians and Vegans encourage people to give up meat products for one day out of the year. Since Penn State is a huge Agriculture school, many of the Ag and Animal science students took offense to the event as their job depends on people consuming animals/animal bi-products. As a resuly, they held a "Meat-in"

Yesterday I gave a short presentation to the Penn State Ve*an club on the effects of eating meat and the environment. Below is a fact sheet and a short comment on why these numbers are so high. If you want the sources, please E-mail me or Google it.Note: Top 4 contributors of global warming are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide. These account for the top 95% factors of

I’ve gotten this question so many times it’s truly unbelievable. “Aren’t we meant to eat meat?” There are a few different responses that I give to people and they are always shocked. None of my responses should be in anyway controversial, in reality, they are all facts, but people continue to look at me like I have three heads. I suppose this reaction is normal since I’m mentioning an idea

Thanksgiving is a little more than a week away and judging by past experiences, my family is thrilled. This holiday tops any other holiday that we celebrate. We invite people from all over; family, friends, and even newly met acquaintances. Like most fortunate families celebrating this holiday, the quantity of food is unbelievable; mashed potatoes, corn, apple cider, pumpkin pie, and of
