Cannibalism is ok.

Hmm...what is the problem with people eating people?
What about disease? [/quote]

I said 'To you or me' eating people is gross. I was making a generalisation of opinion, but nowhere did I say that it [i]was[/i] gross. I said that most people think it is gross. Cannibalism has always been looked upon as a low act by society.

And what does disease have to do with anything?

[size=1]Well James really did hit them nail on the head with his post. If someone is stupid enough to go out and look to become some other person's lunch then their death is their own fault entirely. That's not to say that I condone eating people, I don't but neither do I go out and saw how sick it is for people to go out and eat animals.

I think that PETA has gone and dug itself in a hole that will take a whole lotta digging to get back out of. Now I agree that animals have the right to be treated humanely and not to be mistreated or treated cruelly but they way they go about it really does make it seem like a bad joke.

As for that German Cannibal, I've read up on this guy and he's one sick bastard. He's up for trial soon in Germany and get this for his Christmas dinner he requested an 8" German sausage in a white wine sauce (you may see where I went with that but if you didn't I'll give you a hint, look down).

As for the whole Jesus is in hell for eating fish, I ate fish tonight so let them come here and try and persuade me not to do it again. There's such a thing called tolerance but I guess the people at PETA never heard of it, that and the food chain, then again when a shark eats a person it is natural but we still go ballistic.[/size]

[Guest Midnight Rush]

I am infavor of having every non required animal on earth either caged and sent to mars or slaughtered and made into fur coats (dam GF wants one, i was like no f ing way!). the needed ones should be put into subterreanean warehouses were they will breed and by slain for my food. then we will have special areas of oxygen creating plants, after those plants are preseved we burn all the rest to the ground and make the earth one huge city. its name? Patrickville...
ok the was a huge digression. PETA and cannibuls are insane, and so is anyone who supports them. anyways... ::goes back doing productive things::

I find this cannibalism thing very disturbing. People are not supposed to eat people. We were created higher than the animals and they are in subjection to us. They were given to us for food and to enjoy as company and fellow creatures of the earth. A human is a HUMAN and an animal is an ANIMAL. Two very different creatures. Even in the wild, you don't see many animals eating their own kind. Lions don't eat other lions so people should start acting like the higher species and stop doing senseless things. Why would anyone even think of eating another human?! It's just crazy!!!

[Sir Kyle]

Well, if you look to other cultures (such as "less advanced" ones that live away from where you might live) you'll see that Cannibalism is not a taboo subject matter in those areas. In fact, you'll see that in some areas of the world we all live in that some cultures find nothing wrong and "senseless" about eating another Human being.

I believe that many of us here are subject to a thing called "cultural relativism" where you look at things in life, let's say cannibalism, and compare them to the views, values, and morals of the society and culture you live in rather than looking with a less biased opinion at things.

Personally, I do believe that cannibalism is wrong and I indeed find it quite disturbing that a man would so choose to be killed and then eaten because of a personal fantasy of his. But to say that something is "senseless" and "completely wrong and should never occur because what I know is absolute right" seems a bit obsurd to me.

Yes, like I said, I believe it's wrong to do this, but that doesn't mean everyone believes the same way as I do and we should at least give a little bit of respect to people's choices in their lives rather than bashing them completely and downing their belief system just because we think we are right. What PETA thinks is what PETA thinks and believes in, and what the men who engage in cannibalism think is what they believe in. Though most of us will find is completely disturbing and a bit strange, I think we must still respect the opinions and decisions and beliefs of others around us.

To quote Aretha Franklin: "All I'm asking, is for a little Respect." ;)

[Rockstar Haruko]

Sir Kyle is right. I'm very sorry for not being more respectful, but where was this guy from? Germany? Do some of the people in Germany actually eat other people? If so, this was a mystery to me.

[color=violet]There were a few German exchange students in my high school, but none of them ever expressed a desire to eat any of the student body.

This may sound cynical, but I don't believe any of this ever happened in the first place. WHat person in their right mind would volunteer to be eaten by another person in the first place? And second, what sane person would take someone up on this offer?

Something like that just doesn't sound logical.[/color]

[size=1]This did happen because the cannibal is up for trial in Germany this month after being locked in prison since November. I've read the story in about 3 different newspapers (two of which are broadsheet respectable newspapers). About the guys themselves:

[list][*][b]The Deceased:[/b] I think from what I've read the guy was severely depressed and suicidal. He volunteered for this just to die (this may not be the case in totality).

[*][b]The Accused:[/b] Is an absolute nutter, I think he worships the occult or something and did this to prove his devotion to some demon god. He has shown no remorse over what he 's done and doesn't ever plan to.[/list]
That's all I know at the moment but I suppose it'll be on the news when he finally comes to trial.[/size]

[Katana]

Usually, these guys that eat other humans [i]are[/i] nuts. And it's not just Germans, as some people are thinking. *nudge nudge*
I've head that most cannibalists are from tribes and things that live in jungles, which isn't entirely surprising. Stil, the PETA people are crackpots with crackpot theories.
*reads the article that started this whole thing*

[Ryu_Sakura]

Why do people creat so many sterotypes about Germans? Yes, some of us area crazy, like me for example. I can believe that someone would eat another, they do it on islands where food is low. But if we humans eat eachother, then we can lower the population AND save poor little animals. I'm not saying go ahead and eat your friend or worst enemy, I'm saying that it's better then populating the world with humans, to the point, we all die because we eat each other anyway due to lack of food and water. And if you do keep eating those poor animals, at least use the entire animal, not just a little that could be used more efectivly in the hands of a starving person. Well, thats my bit. Some of you are so weird...

[DeathBug]

[color=indigo][size=1][font=century]GReat, one crazy guy in Germany eats another crazy guy, and suddenly the whole nation is pegged as cannibals. This is not an everyday Germnan occurrece, folks; that's why it made the news. ^^;[/color][/font][/size]

[James]

[color=#707875]Also, the deceased wasn't just suicidal/depressed. Apparently he let the cannibal slice off part of his body and they [i]both[/i] ate it together, before the cannibal killed him.

At least, that's what I heard on the news. So, based on that...I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for either person. They were obviously both completely crazy.[/color]

[Drix D'Zanth]

army101para, post quality will improve, for your sake, starting now.

Whoooo cannibalism! I don't think eating someone is right.. but if people don't mind giving up a bicep or two, by all means -_-. Ever heard of Dhamer? Don't get me wrong, I just find it hard for anyone to get German stereotypes from two insane people.

[Guest army101para]

hey man lighten up im new

[color=darkred] To all of those who know my reptuation, and to those who do not; I would advise against this.. if at all possible. I've replied to this through PM. Please remember that posting like this will result in a completely forgettable, and ultimately short stay at OB. I reccomend army read the rules, just like the rest of us... ~Drix [/color]

[Godelsensei]

Aiya.

What I don't get is why every one is so hung up on the canabalism part. Guy kills other guy. He admits this. He has it *on film*. Guilty as charged.

And, in reference to canabalism: there are many reasons that fish have not evolved farther than they have, and henseforth do not have message boards. In my opinion, eating there young has got to be one of them.

*sweatdrop*

The world is just so..."silly" sometimes. It's almost funny, but then you have to go and realize what you're laughing at. Then, it becomes: O___O!!!

*runs and hides under bed*

[Mikkaddo]

[COLOR=DarkRed]let me say, that to me the whole canabalism thing isn't that strange, afterall eating a human isn't as far from eating a so called "lower life form" like a cow or chicken, I mean really as much as some people try to hide it humans are animals too, just more "evolved" (boy have I questioned that one alot . . . . thank you morons that constantly bug me) so really eating another human would only be wrong by the loose and often self contradictary laws of human morality, and no I am not a canabal incase anyone is going to ask[/color]

[color=violet]I really didn't need to hear that James!

Okay, as for a real post:
PETA's probably going to use this to say hey, if you eat people, why not animels? Or maybe it'll be the other way around.

Yes, there are tribes in countries around the world who probably eat their prisoners, but that's their tradition. Which is most likely why it's not on the news.

Most people don't go around eating other people and having it video taped. For that matter, most people also don't ask to be eatten and take a bite out of themselves in the process. It's not only not socialy acceptable, it's also disturbing in a modern society. Sure, kids shooting kids in the face is common place, but I doubt anyone eats their shooting victims.

Just for a bit of history, during WW2, the Japanese army did eat some of their POWs.[/color]

[color=green]I understand you?re commenting on the ?gross out factor? here, but the information presented by James is entirely relevant. If the cannibalism itself was consensual, that fact will weigh heavily during this man?s trial.[/color]

[color=green]It?d be the other way around. PETA would never tell you to eat animals. As for people, I wouldn?t put it past them?[/color]

[color=green]It?s also probably not on the news because they don?t tape it. This also doesn?t occur in civilized countries, so it?s not as big of a culture shock.

By the way, I can?t seem to find any modern day cannibal groups through casual research. Care to clue me in one?[/color]

[color=green]A Child shooting another child is commonplace? I think not. Otherwise I should have either shot someone, been shot or know of someone who has. If these events were commonplace, events such as Columbine wouldn?t make the news. I find your statement both humorless and concerning.

Over the last three years, only forty kids have been killed in school shootings. I have been unable to obtain any information on the total number of child homicides involving guns; any help with this would be appreciated. [/color]

Chickens and cows don't eat meat, which makes a big difference when you consider animals that are accptable to eat.

[size=2][color=#CC0000]The dude who the German cannibal ate wasn't sane at all. He had something wrong with his brain, a psychological disorder *shrugs* In any case, he wasn't in his right state of mind so don't blame him. Secondly, he wasn't "slaughtered" he died from loss of blood three hours after they [i]both[/i] ate his penis and the cannibal cut him up after he was dead and put his flesh in the freezer.

He also had a load of other people come over for him to eat (meeting over the internet). One guy wanted to be wrapped in cellophane, hung on a meat hook and slaughtered like a pig. When he got to the cannibal's house, he decided that he wasn't up for it so they just "fooled around and ate pizza." He turned down this other guy because his idea (I forget what) of being eaten was "too weird" for the cannibal, and another man was turned down by the cannibal because he was too fat and so they apparently went to go see a movie (Ocean's 11 I think he said). I'm not making this up.

People like this aren't sane, there's no use arguing about it at all. They're not normal, not everyone is, so everyone else might have to start accepting that there are people like that living in our cities everyday. [/size][/color]

[Shinken]

I'd have to agree with you on that one. That is definitely not normal. However, to bring up an interesting age-old question: What if they're the sane ones, and everyone else is insane? *mwahaha.mp3*
