This is always quite amusing. Willfully contributing to the contiuned demand for more and more dead animals for nothing more than selfish entertainmnet. Again, there are NO real vegans on usenet. try looking up the meaning of the word as defined by the guy who coined it, Donald Watson. Here's what i'm talking about fool. Here's a site that discusses the 3 BILLION animals that die every year from the production of power at just 3 generators. That's just 3! out of ,more than 13000 in the US alone. http://www.closeindianpoint.org/articles/tjn_071103.htm Now, extrapolate those numbers to 1000s of other generators, and the estimates that computers/internet usage consumes between 3% to 15% of generated power, how many billions of animals is that? All killed for nothing more than your entertainment here on internet. Hypocrisy run amok. Usenet wannbe vegans are such an ignorant lot. "ARF" wrote in message ups.com...

What they try to avoid are products which provide life (and death) for farm animals, but even then they would have to avoid the following items containing animal by-products in order to be successful: Tires, Paper, Upholstery, Floor waxes, Glass, Water Filters, Rubber, Fertilizer, Antifreeze, Ceramics, Insecticides, Insulation, Linoleum, Plastic, Textiles, Blood factors, Collagen, Heparin, Insulin, Solvents, Biodegradable Detergents, Herbicides, Gelatin Capsules, Adhesive Tape, Laminated Wood Products, Plywood, Paneling, Wallpaper and Wallpaper Paste, Cellophane Wrap and Tape, Abrasives, Steel Ball Bearings The meat industry provides life for the animals that it slaughters, and the animals live and die as a result of it as animals do in other habitats. They also depend on it for their lives as animals do in other habitats. If people consume animal products from animals they think are raised in decent ways, they will be promoting life for more such animals in the future. People who want to contribute to decent lives for livestock with their lifestyle must do it by being conscientious consumers of animal products, because they can not do it by being vegan. From the life and death of a thousand pound grass raised steer and whatever he happens to kill during his life, people get over 500 pounds of human consumable meat...that's well over 500 servings of meat. From a grass raised dairy cow people get thousands of dairy servings. Due to the influence of farm machinery, and *icides, and in the case of rice the flooding and draining of fields, one serving of soy or rice based product is likely to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings derived from grass raised animals. Grass raised animal products contribute to fewer wildlife deaths, better wildlife habitat, and better lives for livestock than soy or rice products. · |

Oh, okay: The answer to the following dumb rant is: Just because, due to circumstances beyond our control, we cannot be 100% Vegan, that does not mean that we are in any way wrong in doing the best that we can. So there, pratt! · Vegans contribute to the deaths of animals by their use of wood and paper products, electricity, roads and all types of buildings, their own diet, etc... just as everyone else does. What they try to avoid are products which provide life (and death) for farm animals, but even then they would have to avoid the following items containing animal by-products in order to be successful: Tires, That's 'tyres' BTW!

Sorry.

More complete and utter ********! If the grasslands were planted with Honey Locust Trees, the same land would produce the protein equivalent of around hundred to five hundred times the meat yield and consume far less energy as well. |

I thought that in the vegan google group I would only find vegans and
not a bunch of trolls. Why join a vegan group when you are clearly against veganism? Very strange indeed. Anyway if you are not a Vegan or against it than please ignore my original post. It wasn't addressed to you. And I also think you joined the wrong google group but that is up to the people who run this group. Thanks!

Lucky for you we're here to tell the truth, and shine a light on your delusions... Again, I still can't get over laughing at wannbe vegans posting and maintaining web sites. All of which contribute to far more dead animals than I'll ever eat in my lifetime... whatta a maroon... ARF wrote: Do you wish to start your own blog about animal rights or about being vegan?

Gama animals are abundent without ANY help from us. There is no need for us to transport, suppliment their diets, breed them or release them.. The fact vthat you are so closed minded that you can't see that somebody living on game and grass-fed beef without the internet causes fewer animal deaths than you is quite amazing... Actuall, it just reenforces what I already know. You're a braindead prop[agandized fool that wants to remain willfully ignorant of their impact on animals and the environment. You also need to consider the issue holistically. Rather than apply an exception, hypothesize the effect of a particular lifestyle may have if applied generally. Do you really think it a good idea that everyone start consuming wild game? ======================= You might want to reasd for comprehension sometime. No where did I say that. All I said was that waanbe usenet veganms are just ignorant hypocrites by claiming that just by not eating animals tha=ey are somehow 'saving' them.

Steam generating plants are steam generating plants. But then, you propably don't know what steam is, right? It is you theat is trying to read what you want to see in what I write. If you'll notice, I specifically said US plants. The tap-dacing around the facts by vegans is what is amusing. They get caught red-handed with their hands in the dead-animal cookie jar and they send up strawman after strawman to try to devert the attention away from their bloody footprints. (An overuse of metaphors BTW). =================== Better than your overuse of stupidity.... I'm not a vegan, I was pointing out (your?) fundamental error. ============================ There was no error. Power production kills billions and billions of animals. I suggest vyou first refute that by providing information that disputes the environmental agencys, like New Yorks department of environmental conservation. Next you could then start telling us how hydro generators don't kill animals in their turbines either.... es that computers/internet usage consumes between 3% to 15% of generated power, how many billions of animals is that?

Donald Watson, 1944 Looks to me like you tried to use something different, but it still says the same thing. No, you stated "..the meaning of the word as defined by the guy who coined it, Donald Watson" and then quoted another from someone else. Donald Watson did not define vegan in that way. His main issues was with vegetarians eating eggs and dairy products. Donald Watson coined the WORD, in an effort to disassociate himself, and anybody else that wanted to, from vegetarians who consumed milk and eggs. The definition has followed in many different guises. Also electrical generation does not 'exploit', is not 'cruel' to animals. It is not, on the whole, an animal commodity. =========================== ROTFLMAO I bet that billions and billions of dead animals disagree with you... Nothing dead will disagree with me or anyone else. - It still remains a fact that electrical generation does not 'exploit', is not 'cruel' to animals. It is not, on the whole, an animal commodity. I guess you just have different difinitions for all words so that they fit your propaganda, huh? causing the deaths of billions of animals for nothing nore than our entertainment is exploitation, regardless if you like it or not.

Gama animals are abundent without ANY help from us. There is no need for us to transport, suppliment their diets, breed them or release them.. So you were ONLY taking about wild game? .............. The fact vthat you are so closed minded that you can't see that somebody living on game and grass-fed beef ...........Oh you did include grass fed beef. 1) So all grass fed beef get to the plate without transport, without supplementing its diet, without fertilizers on the fields, without water, etc? without the internet causes fewer animal deaths than you is quite amazing... Actuall, it just reenforces what I already know. You're a braindead prop[agandized fool that wants to remain willfully ignorant of their impact on animals and the environment. I'm aware that my (non vegan) lifestyle causes damage to the environment, and ultimately animals and humans, as does virtually everyone else's lifestyles. The only person demonstrating foolishness is you. You also need to consider the issue holistically. Rather than apply an exception, hypothesize the effect of a particular lifestyle may have if applied generally. Do you really think it a good idea that everyone start consuming wild game? ======================= You might want to reasd for comprehension sometime. No where did I say that. All I said was that waanbe usenet veganms are just ignorant hypocrites by claiming that just by not eating animals tha=ey are somehow 'saving' them. It's just a delusional lie they all te]ll themselves, right, hypocrite? You wrote (emphasis added) "I submit that a person that lives on **game** and grass-fed beef and ins't online causes far far fewer animal deaths than you even wet-dream about saving..." If the game is not bred and released as you refute above, it must be wild. - I'll break this down to make it easier for you: 2)Does your hypothesis include game, as you first postulated or not? 3)If it does, is it wild or bred and released? 4)Should anyone be allowed be allowed to consume this game, or is it limited to a certain sunset? - How is this subset defined? Now, extrapolate those numbers to 1000s of other generators, It is foolish to extrapolate one particular method of cooling / power generation with all others. ====================== No, it is not. There are over 13000 generators in the US alone. I only said to compare 1000s. The fact is that most power generators are steam generation plants. All steam generators use the same method to produce electricity, it's only the source of the heat that changes. The rest of the steam generation and dischage is the same. No it is not. For example; how many animals are killed by cooling towers? - You quoted one method of cooling by river water, and foolishly extrapolated it to the whole World's electrical generation systems =============================== No fool, I have not. Steam generating plants are steam generating plants. But then, you propably don't know what steam is, right? It is you theat is trying to read what you want to see in what I write. If you'll notice, I specifically said US plants. The tap-dacing around the facts by vegans is what is amusing. They get caught red-handed with their hands in the dead-animal cookie jar and they send up strawman after strawman to try to devert the attention away from their bloody footprints. (An overuse of metaphors BTW). =================== Better than your overuse of stupidity.... I'm not a vegan, I was pointing out (your?) fundamental error. ============================ There was no error. Power production kills billions and billions of animals. I suggest vyou first refute that by providing information that disputes the environmental agencys, like New Yorks department of environmental conservation. Power production, a non animal product, kills animals yes. How many I do not know. Your estimation was based a flawed premise. Next you could then start telling us how hydro generators don't kill animals in their turbines either.... No, I know wind turbines kill birds for example. es that computers/internet usage consumes between 3% to 15% of generated power, how many billions of animals is that? All killed for nothing more than your entertainment here on internet. Hypocrisy run amok. Usenet wannbe vegans are such an ignorant lot. "The tendency of the casual mind is to pick out or stumble upon a sample which supports or defines its prejudices, and then to make it representative of a whole class." ============================ The tendancy of the brainwashed vegan mind is to ignore reality and disregard the bloody footprints they track about. That is the way of ALL usenet wannbe vegans... There is NO survival necessity for anyone that wants to claim an ethical superiority to be on usnet, none. It's completely unnecessary and an exploitation of animals for no more reason than their entertainment. Who's claimed moral superiority? It wasn't me. - You seem to be arguing with yourself or some seemingly non existent 'bogie monster'. ========================== Same as you, huh fool? Clearly not. Basically, you've drawn incorrect conclusions from an inaccurate extrapolation of a non animal product, to support an incoherent and logically flawed position. =================================== Nope, not at all. Dead animals, by the billions, directly connected to vegan activities is quite relevent, despite your ignorant protestations... I think it safe to conclude that most vegans will cause some animal deaths, by consuming non animal products like electricity. This does not preclude them using the term vegan if they wish to.

Willfully contributing to the contiuned demand for more and more dead animals for nothing more than selfish entertainmnet. Again, there are NO real vegans on usenet. try looking up the meaning of the word as defined by the guy who coined it, Donald Watson. "..abstention from the use of all animal products.." ======================= Not quite. Why leave out the part "excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom" That part doesn't quite fit the vegan brainwashing spew? 'Ontheroad' (or was it you?), asked for Donald Watson's definition. You for some reason have produced another. =================== That's the computer I use while 'on the road'... http://www.vegetus.org/honey/honey.htm "...Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals ..." Donald Watson, 1944 Looks to me like you tried to use something different, but it still says the same thing. No, you stated "..the meaning of the word as defined by the guy who coined it, Donald Watson" and then quoted another from someone else. ================== No, I did not. I quoted the definition given by watson in 1944. You have quoted from someone else. Donald Watson did not define vegan in that way. His main issues was with vegetarians eating eggs and dairy products. ========================= Then you'd better get a refund on the education you think you recieved. Donald Watson coined the WORD, in an effort to disassociate himself, and anybody else that wanted to, from vegetarians who consumed milk and eggs. The definition has followed in many different guises. ============================ But there is only one definition from the man who made up the term. I gave it. It is not about diet, it is a lifestyle, a belief. Diet is no more or less important than any other aspect of ones life. Also electrical generation does not 'exploit', is not 'cruel' to animals. It is not, on the whole, an animal commodity. =========================== ROTFLMAO I bet that billions and billions of dead animals disagree with you... Nothing dead will disagree with me or anyone else. - It still remains a fact that electrical generation does not 'exploit', is not 'cruel' to animals. It is not, on the whole, an animal commodity. ================================ ROTFLMAO Nice strawman, fool, I didn't say it was an animal commodity, but to try to insist that being sliced, diced, shredded and dis-memebered is not cruel is quite amusing. Thanks for proving your ignorance yet again... I guess you just have different difinitions for all words so that they fit your propaganda, huh? causing the deaths of billions of animals for nothing nore than our entertainment is exploitation, regardless if you like it or not. I suggest you take this argument you have with yourself elsewhere; perhaps a psychologist. ============================== LOL I don't have a problem. Maybe you do, with comprehension and reality. Here it is... "...Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals..." You'll note that diet is not anymore or less important than any other aspect of a real vegan lifestyle. Here's what i'm talking about fool. Here's a site that discusses the 3 BILLION animals that die every year from the production of power at just 3 generators. That's just 3! out of ,more than 13000 in the US alone. http://www.closeindianpoint.org/articles/tjn_071103.htm Electricity is not the use of an animal product per se. ======================== ROTFLMAO But killing billions of them for unnecessary reasons is quite alright by you, huh? Like I said, there are no real vegans on usenet... I submit that a person that lives on game and grass-fed beef and ins't online causes far far fewer animal deaths than you even wet-dream about saving... You'll need to supply evidence of that claim. For a start, I've made no claim of saving animals. ask yourself questions like, how much energy does the production of the meat need, including fertilisers, processing, transport, water, supplemental nutrition, breeding and releasing 'game' to the wild etc. ================================= None, fool. Gama animals are abundent without ANY help from us. There is no need for us to transport, suppliment their diets, breed them or release them.. So you were ONLY taking about wild game? .............. ======================== No fool, YOU were. Read what you just wrote, dolt. Whatta maroon... The fact vthat you are so closed minded that you can't see that somebody living on game and grass-fed beef ..........Oh you did include grass fed beef. 1) So all grass fed beef get to the plate without transport, without supplementing its diet, without fertilizers on the fields, without water, etc? ====================== Uh, i guess your stupidity knows no bounds, huh? The grass fed beef I eat gets no suppliments. What suppliments do you have in mind? The water is what fills the ponds from rain. No pumping from water sources. What field do you suppose I'd want to spray and have the cattle eat? Are you thinking about grains being fed to cattle? Again, fool, the "grass-fed" beef I eat doesn't eat any grain. Is "grass-fed" too big a word for you? The are born, raised, slaughtered and eaten withing just a few miles. care to tell me where your last banana came from? without the internet causes fewer animal deaths than you is quite amazing... Actuall, it just reenforces what I already know. You're a braindead prop[agandized fool that wants to remain willfully ignorant of their impact on animals and the environment. I'm aware that my (non vegan) lifestyle causes damage to the environment, and ultimately animals and humans, as does virtually everyone else's lifestyles. ========================== Good, then why deny the fact that being killed for our entertainment by being sliced, diced, shredded and dis-memebered isn't 'cruel?' The only person demonstrating foolishness is you. =============== hardly, fool. Keep tap dancing away... You also need to consider the issue holistically. Rather than apply an exception, hypothesize the effect of a particular lifestyle may have if applied generally. Do you really think it a good idea that everyone start consuming wild game? ======================= You might want to reasd for comprehension sometime. No where did I say that. All I said was that waanbe usenet veganms are just ignorant hypocrites by claiming that just by not eating animals tha=ey are somehow 'saving' them. It's just a delusional lie they all te]ll themselves, right, hypocrite? You wrote (emphasis added) "I submit that a person that lives on **game** and grass-fed beef and ins't online causes far far fewer animal deaths than you even wet-dream about saving..." If the game is not bred and released as you refute above, it must be wild. - I'll break this down to make it easier for you: ===================== What other 'wild game' do you suppose there is, fool? Are you really this impaired, or just willfully ignorant? Do you really not know a difference between game and grass-fed beef? The statement I wrote is quite clear. 2)Does your hypothesis include game, as you first postulated or not? ====================== Sure it can. Why are you so dense? Willfully ignorant or just naturally stupid? 3)If it does, is it wild or bred and released? ===================== I don't know of any deer catch and release programs. 4)Should anyone be allowed be allowed to consume this game, or is it limited to a certain sunset? - How is this subset defined? ====================== Why all the strawmen, fool? Who do you want to restrict from eating it? Again, for the 2 braincells you're apparently woking with here, The fact is that vegan loons make the claim that because they are vegan no/less/fewer animals die. I show quite well how that is not the case, and that there are meat-included diets that kill fewer animals than some vegan ones. I know that that is hard for the mentally challenged to comprehend, but do give it a go, fool. Now, extrapolate those numbers to 1000s of other generators, It is foolish to extrapolate one particular method of cooling / power generation with all others. ====================== No, it is not. There are over 13000 generators in the US alone. I only said to compare 1000s. The fact is that most power generators are steam generation plants.

Power production, a non animal product, kills animals yes. How many I do not know. Your estimation was based a flawed premise. ============================ No it was not. Billions and billions from just 3 power generators are a known quantity. You may wnat to ignore fact and reality if you want, but that doesn't make the numbers go away. |
