I'll make sure to get to him first.
[quote]Harry, would you be able to eat someone without getting sick? You haven't really told us what you think, other than you don't think it's immoral. What about the grossness factor?[/quote]
The World has two problems.

The World is overpopulated.

The World is starving.

Cannabalism solves both.

Okay its offical. Harry you have issues and you should seek proper treatment. We freaking know the world is overpopulated, do you think we don't know that? Yes it is true that some [b]countries[/b] have people who are starving, thats why the UN does its relief missions, you know where people will DONATE THEIR SURPLUS FOOD!!! I'm sorry but if all you can do is ***** about how people should do canniblism [sarcasm]and all the little worlds problems will be solved[/end sarcasm] then you better wake up and smell the coffee, if you want to solve the starving problem, DONATE SOME EXTRA FOOD YOU HAVE TO your local soup kitchen, do something, but stop suggesting the world turn to cannibilism!

Saw off his own flesh?? Okay whoever writes these scenarios doesn't know anything. Okay those two people are on a desert island right? Well i'm sure there could be an oasis on that island, i mean who has heard of a desert never having an oasis? So why didn't they check?? And plus i'm sure that they could have fashioned some kind of fishing spear and then they could have gone fishing, duh. I'm really sorry its just a little hard to believe some of these scenarios happening, cause those things would probaly happen as a last resort if all els fails. But as i said the people who make these scenarios must not have taken into full consideration that the people could have done something else besides eat each other.

Did I not say that? I was saying my view and responding to Lady Macaiodh's question. I don't even know why you have such a violent response to my opinion.

You do realize that just because someone donates it, it doesn't actually get to the people right? Look at AIDS in Africa. Medicine is donated to the countries, but the governments either withold it on purpose or are too busy fighting against their own people to distribute it.

You need to wake up and smell the coffee. If you notice I merely asked a question, that it is all. It's been 4 whole threads and I didn't even express my opinion cannibalism, but yet all I've been doing is "*****" about it.

[quote][b]but stop suggesting the world turn to cannibilism! [/B][/QUOTE]
I never said it should. I don't even know if you read my original question, but I have not even hinted that the world should turn cannibalistic, I was merely stating two problems that were solved by cannibalism.

Well your little suggestion about how to slove those two problems were a little grotesque, i'm serious its just nasty if humanity were to resort to that then we'd be no better than the animals that surround us. And me having a violent response? Don't make me laugh! HAH! Too late i already did.

I think that if he is a close friend it would be selfish... but if you don't like him that much, go right ahead. If it is just somebody I kind of liked from work or school, then I'll just try to make it to a church to seek forgiveness of pray just before death(after all, I would feel guilty).

If it were close friends who gave me their consent before they died, then I would respect their wishes in trying to survive. I would give them consent to eat me quick if I were to die first and try to survive if it were someone close to me.

In case you don't know, we are no better than the animals that surround us. In fact I think some animals are much smarter than humans. Or maybe their lack of intelligence makes them smarter.

I mean, you don't see dolphins fighting over something as stupid as religion do you? How about dogs making nuclear bombs to kill its own kind? The capasity we have makes us overthink... and with that comes everything so bad. If there was a limit on our conscience, then we'd deffinantly be a better race.

Would we? You wouldn't be able to contemplate things like this.

You have to look at the good aspects as well, like literature, the arts ect...

Agreed, i mean yes humans have very volitile tempers but most people control them but there are some that can't and go on killing sprees or mass murders (hint, hint, Adolf Hitler.) But most of humanity is decent, as i stated, we as humans have volitile tempers but that's what makes us unique and human, and as NC just stated there are the good aspects of humans, the arts, and our humane side.

[B]Still Murder... is WRONG.... no matter what the resons are [/B][/QUOTE]

[COLOR=blue] Well lets see I don't think I could eat another human being period. I have a hard time looking at the animals we kill and just to see myself cutting and eating their flesh send a chill down my back.

But you say murder is wrong..Well this is the def.

To kill (another human) unlawfully.
To kill brutally or inhumanly.

Well if we are a desert island and we have to kill them to eat, why can't I kill you. Now I'm not commitng murder. I din't do it against the law...(THERE ARE NO LAWS PRESENT.) And we no longer have moral so we aren't human any more...So that throws the other part of the def. out of the windo. So therefore it's now to KILL...

And if you put it in that sense we kill animals all the time for food and contrary to popular belief...we are animals...we just have more upper-brain controls which therefore bring in morals and ethics and emotions.

So why couldn't I kill another human being for food......

This is just a thought...I personally....don't think I could do it!!!![/COLOR]

After seeing this and seeing TN's view I agree...We would be better because we'd want nothing more than to survive and want to live life to the fullest extent possible, yeah it'll be anly a fe decades of life but this world would be better off. We, humans with our contemplative abilities have in a way ruined our world. There's hate that cirulates day in and out. Our world has places that we can barely live in because we've polluted it or made it that way. If we were like monkeys we wouldn't waste resources or be able to overpopulate an area, etc. We'd be controlled by nature just like the animals.

Although we'd lose literature and art. Our world just may be a little better to live in!!!!

Elephants do some of the greatest art I've ever seen. Cavemen did art. Egyptians did art... the wrote too. You can still have all the essential artistic qualities in a simple mind. We don't have to limit ourselves till we think simple minded like cavemen or something, but just limit to the extent we don't fight over the dumbest of all things, like religion for example.

Oh boy don't bring up religion TN someone will pounce on it ;)...

Don't try and eat Harry, jesus christ people. Atleast in this thread (and I've re-read others and this goes for them to) he [b]IS[/b] trying to make people think. He's putting out contraversial issues so we can think about them and express them. So more power to ya Harry!

But yeah the whole is canabalism moral or not, its really up to each individual.

Some ways I say yes, some ways I say no. I'm in the middle right now. So yeah.

And yes I agree it makes no sense to me that catholics can (symbolically) drink the blood of "christ" yet its not canabalism, but hey thats just me. *shrugs*

wow..Some serious debating? It all depends on where you are, and what the conditions are like.. Also who you are with, and how much you like them, or their taste!
I don't see anything wrong with it at certain times, people have had to do things like that in the past, and they did survive. I'm not sure if they were accepted back into society, but, who cares?

If you are in desire straights I think you'll be able to do it.

I mean do you cook. When you look at the ingrediants by themselves, or combined together (before cooked) it looks absolutely wretched, but I mean at the end it usually ends up tasting good.

I'm not saying if you came over and sliced me up right now and started eating me that I'd be Yummy, but you know what I mean.

Even if I'd managed to cook them, I still couldn't eat them because I'd know what I was eating.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it sickening. I couldn't do it, even if I needid to for survival.
