We had to deal with this a couple of years ago when my Dad died. He was to be buried next to my Mom in the family plot at St. John’s in Brooklyn. Lots of phone calls and measurements of caskets to find one that would be permitted to be used. I couldn’t believe the nonsense involved.

Is the problem that he would not be socially distancefar enough and might spread covid?

A pathetic case of government overreach. Let the poor man rest in peace next to his beloved.

On reading these endless stream of idiotic stories from ‘our betters’ in Europe, I always come to the conclusion that the smart ones left 300+ years ago to head west.

Someone should find the individual human being who decided that and go beat the hell out of him or her. Cruelty like this should not pass.

Maybe he didn’t want to be torched. A lot of people don’t. Some even specifically say so. And that FAR outweighs a half inch that it’s doubtful they could even measure that accurately.
This is just wanton cruelty.

Why is violence the answer ?

Solution:
Cut half an inch off each member of the local soviet.
Repeat as necessary until they approve the burial.

Why is violence the answer ?In some cases it is the only answer.

It has always been thus. To modify their behavior back into norms since they seem unmoved by common sense or compassion. But I know violence is never the answer in the USAF.

In MANY cases violence is needed.

I know it sounds cruel but if you think about it, when it comes to weights and measures there is always going to be people who either just squeak in or barely miss out. Ask any parent who has ever paid big bucks to get their children into an amusement park only to have them barred from all of the good rides because they were a whisker short. You just never hear about the people who got buried with a half inch to spare.
Maybe they will luck out and public shaming will cause the council to reconsider but that will just lead to complaints by other people.

Because sometimes it is.
That’s why.

Absurd only if you’re too stupid to understand the original premise that anything involving measures is going to leave people above or below the threshold, no matter what that threshold is. Apparently you fit into that category.
To: Oshkalaboomboom
Whoa, thats a bit extreme of a reaction. You dont have many friends do you? It is absolutely absurd to compare letting a little kid ride a roller coaster to burying a dead corpse or not based on height. Talk about stupid?

Have you ever heard of an analogy? Show me a good website that compares grave depths and I’ll use that as an example instead, that is if you can quit posting silly memes as if they are some sort of intellectual exercise.
To: Oshkalaboomboom
There are good analogies and poor analogies, and then there is absurd. If you want to say the kiddie park analogy was poor now, I'll meet you halfway. Still doesnt excuse calling people stupid just because you used a poor analogy and it was pointed out.
As for my pictorial responses, read my profile. I'm not changing that habit and I explain why. Its to avoid arguments with jerks.
Just dont be one.
