Hi Tony and welcome back! Not exactly the dinner invitation I would accept º ºIn fact it is only logical if one eats meat to eat humans too, 'long ºpig', they call it in the pacific islands. Of course - the movie "Soylent Green" was about that... I wonder if "science" could process deceased humans well enough as to prevent an outbreak of "mad-man" disease... On the other hand, that seems to be epidemic already... º ºIn the end result one can only change oneself, the world will always ºbe there. Some just give up (surrender) as if to die and then, change happens by itself. The mind is emptied, no more automatically arising thoughts about "world". º ºGive up aversion and attachment and the dream will only be an image on ºa screen, I'm told.......ONS....Tony. º An image on a soap bubble: when the bubble ends, so does the image on it. The space within the bubble was never separated from the space outside it. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste Jb, Yes mad man or disease exists in the New Guinea Highlands, due to natives eating their dead in a ritual. Kuru they call it. Yes the meat eaters could process all the bodies that died of natural but not diseased causes and process it into soylent green, they could even turn the skin into human crackling. They could have strips of jerky and biltong. So the relatives wouldn't get upset they could cremate or bury the heads. Just think of the saving on the environment, and the innocent animals. Small graves for only heads are buried, or cremated. Yes it could be an entire industry, of all the parts of the body for recycling. It wouldn't be a case of quitting whilst one was ahead though!!hahahah It is entirely logical for flesh is flesh, 98% similar to apes. But unlike Sweeney Todd's meat pies, no finger nails please!! Yes it has been done. Sweeney Todd of fleet st London, the Demon Barber, was processing people he had murdered into a popular 'pork', pie. It was the finger nails that gave him away, otherwise he would have won all the awards for the best pork pie. True!!!!!!ONS....Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 Yes, this is a horrifying story. I can't bear to think about it. But in French there is a saying: ce qui vole un oeuf, vole un boeuf "He who steals an egg, steals an ox" Love, Frances M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
