Do I know said person I would be eating? I'd never eat someone I know (knew?). Not even for survival.

fatty · « **Reply #52 on:** 10 Jul 2008, 01:11 »

Did you know, despite having made that poll, I haven't made a definite decision about what I would do in this sort of life/death situation, since I've never been in one, and probably will never be. I mean comeon, why would I be wandering around in a desert without a mobile phone. How am I meant to know what I would, I'll just figure that out when I come to that bridge. All in all, I don't think I am much disadvantaged for not having a plan.

But yeah, never ever, I'm not interested. In fact I'm particularly grossed out.

Not that this really affects your point any, but note that cell phones need to be within range of cell towers to work. Don't want people thinking their mobile phone will keep them connected to civilization when they're going on a journey into some vast wilderness/the middle of nowhere.

firstly, i never said we had a shortage of space. i just think burying bodies is a waste of space.

secondly, alot of that empty space is desert and is practically unusable.

ooh you know what i just thought of? why don't we just use that desert space for burying people and put current cemetary land to better use. everybody wins. the people that don't want to get eaten can still be buried (and be preserved much better by the dry climate anyway) and we have more land in urban areas for other things....like malt shops.

Honestly, I would rather have a graveyard than more urban development. The last thing we need is more condos and walmarts and malls. At least graveyards have grass and are kind of peaceful and quiet and make for great places to have picnics in.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #57 on:** 10 Jul 2008, 12:50 »

i agree. except the graveyard part. i think we should use that space for somethign that's actually good for that particular community.

it doesn't even have to be real "development," it could be as simple as replacing the tombstones with playground equipment or gardens or something. it would depend on that particular areas needs, i guess.

tania · « **Reply #58 on:** 10 Jul 2008, 12:57 »

i would probably eat someone if it meant the difference between life and death, including people i know, but only if they were already dead in advance. i'd expect the same from anyone else so i think that's pretty fair. to be honest if i were dead and someone else with me also died because they had the option to eat me but chose not to, and somehow i were able to make judgments of other people even though i'd be dead, i'd be a little disappointed in them.

Aww man now I'm totally hungry for barbecue. Something from some hole-in-tha-wall dive where the menu is written in crayon and the dude in the back doesn't "believe" in cleaning the "flavor" off the grill. Some where you have like three drink choices: water, sweet tea, and some horrible horse-piss beer.

Do gym teachers count as human? If they do I´m all for cannibalism.

Yes, I would eat people. The whole preparing the meat thing would be a bit awkward, so I probably wouldn't do that...But I would eat it.

RedLion · « **Reply #66 on:** 12 Jul 2008, 12:17 »

It's not like cannibalism is unprecedented in species, so it's scientifically justifiable. Morally, Ethically, on the other hand...it's a harder quandary. If you are stuck in a place where the only solution is to eat another human, or just to lob off a piece of flesh without killing them, why should it be the other person? Why shouldn't it be you who is sacrificed for the lives of others? What makes your life more worthy than the other person, whom you would have to harm or kill to eat?

That being said, I'd eat a strip of flesh or muscle if it was the last thing available and was offered to me. I couldn't actively kill another person to eat them, though.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #67 on:** 12 Jul 2008, 17:26 »

i saw four slugs all eating another slug the other day. it was a little disturbing because it seemed like he might have still been alive while they were tearing him apart. not to mention that within a small radius of the carnage there were more slugs who were obviously on their way to the feast as fast as they could.

anyway, it was really weird and i didn't know slugs did that.

Oh and this comment of your brings up another point I forgot to mention before. I realize the point of this thread is to assume some hypothetical situation where eating another person is your only option in order to ask a question about morality, but I do want to make sure people grasp just how unlikely such a situation is. Stranded in a desert isn't one such situation. I mean, even if you were stranded on a desert island or something, you are going to die of thirst long before you die of starvation.

Meanwhile, real-life stories like the Donner Party do point out the one emergency scenario where you'd be trapped with no food but abundant fresh water: a blizzard.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #69 on:** 12 Jul 2008, 17:55 »

I dunno, we were talking about this on the gabbly when it was being made, and the intent was not (at least i remember so), not to be in hypothetical situations where it was your only option, but a wide range of hypothetical situations where you had many options. My personal opinion is that in a hypothetical situation where consumption of human steaks was either legal, or where avoiding the consequences of illegally eating someone else would be easier, i'd defintely be inteested.

In my view all meat is the same, unless artificially grown.

fatty · « **Reply #72 on:** 13 Jul 2008, 01:32 »

Yeah emilio is kind of right. I probably should have been clearer. My idea was, under what kind of situations would you eat human meat. Would you say no on principle, are you curious, if it was legal or morally acceptable etc.

Oli · « **Reply #73 on:** 13 Jul 2008, 06:06 »

I would sooner eat a kitten sized portion of human than a kitten. The logic behind this is that the world needs less people and more kittens.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #74 on:** 13 Jul 2008, 08:46 »

I bet kittens are all tender and delicious.

jhocking · « **Reply #75 on:** 13 Jul 2008, 09:51 »

Actually, the world needs both fewer people and fewer kittens.

Doesn't mean I'd eat either, however.

While cats are a possibility, dogs are a definite. As in, I have definitely eaten dog. I didn't know it though; I wouldn't choose to.

At this point I would like to state that I officially prefer beef bacon to pig bacon. It tastes much better.

Stryc9Fuego · « **Reply #82 on:** 14 Jul 2008, 03:41 »

On that note turkey bacon is a sad, sad parody of bacon. Turkey bacon wishes they could get a good enough crackle to be considered bacon. If you've got turkey bacon that fries nicely, chances are they put a little pig fat in it.

Tofu anything is masochism in its purest form. I'd prefer to eat a live kitten than try a tofurkey again.

Also, I'm guessing the buttocks, as the largest muscle, would probably be the best cut of people meat. You could even leave the person alive, Candide style.

Albert Fish agrees with you. He said it was the most delicious part of the human body. The human ass, especially from a young child.

think of how much space is taken up in the U.S. alone by cemetaries and graveyards. to me, it seems like an awful waste of space. space that could be used for any number of much more useful things.

Anyone who thinks the US has a shortage of space has obviously never taken a long road trip.

So, you think that we should level all of the beautiful countryside to build.. whatever minimalls or something
