Kinda like slavery. Why were the slaves black and not white? well, if they enslaved white people, then other white people would enslave them back.



There were plenty of slaves that were white, my friend, and I'd even go out on a limb and contend that there have been more white slaves throughout history than black ones. Slavery was widespread and not limited to one point in history or to one race. It wasn't much different to have a human slave than it was to enslave a horse.

Don't ever be caught in an airplane crash in the mountains, stranded, with me. I don't want none of that frostbit meat that's been buried in the snow for a week...I like it fresh. I also don't skip meals...

I belive there is a genetic programing in us all that puts canibalism under a taboo, and its purpuse was to prevent animals from eating each other, a kind of a natural cooperation in a single species.

But i guess it is not evil to eat mans flesh.
It would be bad to kill a man for food of course. Killing would be bad because we are ending one mans journey given by the universe.
We are altering his life path by force in the most radical way possible. Or in case there is nothing after death, we are ending someones consciousness, whish is the worst thing possible because
consciousness is the core of everything that we know. It is our god.
Out of consciousness there is nothing, a black void.

So tell me which is the greater evil: Kill a man for his money and possesions, or kill a man for food.

Ok so what about people that have commited crimes and are going to be executed. I mean why waste perfectly good meat when there are children starving in the world. We should eat convicts and send poor people turkeys.

Yeah, sometimes I pitch the idea that all the starving people in the world could eat the stray dogs and cats of the world. Millions of euthanized animals yearly, buried in landfills, could add up to one hell of a goulash (sp?). Add in the death row inmates and even a few mental patients for flavor, and I imagine a virtual melting pot...

I don't usually watch T.V., but one night I happened to be watching an episode  of "Northern Exposure."  The cast members were considering  whom they would eat, if it came down to that.  It was pretty funny.

You wouldn't want to eat someone too fat, because of the fat you would be digesting and it would be bad for your body.  You wouldn't want to eat someone who works out because their meat would be tough.

The perfect person to eat is one who is young, who hasn't worked out, and who isn't fat.

Any volunteers???

:grin:



This is why you can't. Mad cow disease came from farmers feeding ground up cow to cattle. There is a disease you can get, from the proteins in humans. I forget what its called, studys have been done and well you get very sick. You basically turn schizo.

Yes....what was that tribe in Africa (one of many I could suppose) that ate the brains of the dead and they went stark raving mad? I saw them in National Geographic I think.

GeeZUS!

Another one invents facts and posts them as if they were true.

Please read the entire thread, or better yet, stop talking about things you know nothing about.

The disease is Kuru, a Prion encephalopathy like Mad Cow. Prions are proteins that apparently can self-replicate; how they do this is unknown since they do not contain DNA. The tribe was called the Fore (FOH-reh).

The reason Kuru decimated the Fore was because they practiced ritual cannibalism by eating their loved ones when they died, including the brain. They did this for a very long time without any problem until, it's believed, one of the members of the tribe developed CJD, the human form of Mad Cow. When that member died and was eaten, the disease spread through the tribe.

Kuru, like all the prion diseases, can only be caught from another animal if it has the disease. Eating healthy animals (like healthy cows or humans) will not transmit the disease because the eaten animal does not have the disease.  :syringe:
