Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1021995doesn't work when mother earth decides to get jiggy with it though. It's also okay to in-deed be civilized when the going's rough, eh? And I'm not so much worried about "mother earth," because the imploding and revitalization is a natural process within a larger force of creation - and so very out of our control - it's the people in positions of power around this planet that are getting "jiggy" and give me pause for concern. They're the ones promulgating existence into a horror story come alive. I think we sometimes forget to separate the two when it's most necessary. Word of advise, though... I'd avoid barbecuing for din-din the bodies of those people in positions of power. They have tough skin and the blood of evil coursing through their veins. Foul food.

Dont eat anythign really close to the brain , just toss the head to the people in your band who are already lunatic! Keep Antibiotics on hand at all time's your gonna need them if your eating human, Best and safest way to indulge in a human snack is too boil that bad boy like a hog, till the hairs fall of the hide...., then fish it out , remove the skin and then continue to boil till the meat is ready to fall off the bone, eat as soon as it cools enough to not burn you , NO LEFT OVERS!!!! <--- rule #2 really with #1 being nothing above the neck or in the middle ! THINK LEGS AND ARMS! Remember, Remember 11 September The Gun powder, Treason and Plot I know of NO reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot. "Don't tell me what you believe in.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1024942 United States 07/04/2010 12:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes. Quoting: Dr. HouseFor the record human flesh (muscle tissue) tastes like pork, not chicken. Ergo the title 'long pig'. It is also the reason why "God" banned pork. In actuality cannibalism (ritual cannibalism) was practiced in that part of the world when the bible was being written. Its hard to enforce 'don't eat people' if they are faced with the taste of people in pork product. Thus ban the pork while banning people eating and you 'cure' the problem in a generation or so. Oh, OK.....so it has nothing to do with the parasites in the nasty pigs.... hmmmm....okay..... Get that student loan payed off yet? |

Can't help it, It is hardwired into our genes.all organic matter gone; bark, grass, leather shoes etc no insects or anything to provide nourishment, you are on deaths door and someone offers you a piece of meat, you will partake like anyone else. That's life, get over it. Quoting: Seeker of TruthThis would be a completely lifeless, destroyed, dead planet. After you have eaten all fellow humans nothing would be left. => no future.

"dont argue with idiots they just bring you down to their level and beat you with experience" Well said. Killing someone, especially if "I'm food" would not be an issue, might even be enjoyable. But eating a human....could be tough. You'd have to assume it's a meat only dinner, nothing else, otherwise you would be eating the "something else"...tough call. Probably just keep killing the cannibals and stacking them up until I become one. It would be much easier to eat a perceived enemy. I'm not from Canada, not that there's anything wrong with that..... |
