Carnism

Carnism is the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals. It is basically the opposite of veganism.

The term was coined by social psychologist Melanie Joy in 2001 when she stated that the lack of terminology around consuming animal products was part of the problem. Without a term to refer to the practice by, it is accepted as the norm and the ignorance around the subject continues to flourish.

Carnism is an extremely important concept that has the potential to dramatically transform the way society thinks about eating animals. - Gene Baur

Cornish Army

The Cornish Army was first used in combat in 1497, during the Cornish Rebellion. A blacksmith and a lawyer managed to raise an army of 15,000 men and marched into Devon, conquering it, relatively unopposed. Wells, Winchester, Bristol, and Salisbury were taken, though while in Taunton they suffered a slight hiccup when a tax commissioner was murdered, but apart from this one incedent the march was referred to as, 'without any slaughter, violence or spoil of the country'. They tried to rally the 'volatile men of Kent*' to their cause, but the Kentishmen had decided that what was going on was too far away to concern them. This disheartened a number of the Cornish troops, who decided to call it quits and went home. The remainder of the forces decided to take on the King (Henry VII). They arrived at Guildford and awaited the retaliation of the Crown. They were attacked by a meager force of 500 mounted spearmen, which they promptly defeated. The Cornish army then moved in on London and the Royal Family barricaded themselves in the Tower of London, whilst the rest of the city began to panic. At Blackheath the Cornish set up their final camp and prepared for 'The Battle Of Deptford Bridge' (located in south-east London).
The Cornish army had by this point around 12,000 troops, while the King had a whooping 25,000. The battle lasted about half a day and ended with the defeat of the Cornish.
Wouldn't it have been interesting if they had won?

The Cornish Army was quite cool... for the 15th Century.

cornish

The cornish come from cornwall. They are more clever than you think and have an excellent sense of humour.

One thing occasionally overlooked is that the cornish are actually celts. They are related to the irish, scottish and welsh, not forgetting the bretons. When naming the celtic countries, cornwall should be mentioned, but sadly never is.

Man 1: The cornish?

Man 2: Yeah, part of a great race of people called the celts!
