I wonder if this would fall under Justice Kennedys thesis concerning "transcendent liberty"?

[Servant of the 9]

One more example of a country with more laws than are good for it.

Why should this be the States Business?
Any reason besides Liberal do-gooders and big brother-ism?

Watch for 'Cannibal Rights' groups to start popping up.

Shocking that they would put such a redundancy in the headline...

Homosexual Cannibal Admits To Eating Victim

"When Oral Sex Goes Awry..."

[thesummerwind]

has kept us from realizing that cannibalism can have positive meanings

Yeh, cannibalism is positive when the Democrats are eating their own!

The man allowed Meiwes to cut off his sex organ and eat it.

Meiwes, "No bones about it, this tastes good."

One article mentioned he has a 44 room house. Must be doing ok financially.

Vanderbilt Anthropology Professor Beth Conklin has written sympathetically about cannibalism in research she has done on the Wari' tribe that lives in the Amazon. According to Conklin, "We assume that cannibalism is always an aggressive, barbaric and degrading act. But that is a serious over-simplification, one that has kept us from realizing that cannibalism can have positive meanings and motives that are not that far from our own experience," says Conklin.

You all really should be more tolerant and understanding.

Germany: From Weltschmerz to Schwanzschmerz

So, what's the problem? Just add another item onto the end of the gender list:

gay/lesbian/transgendered/S&M/leather/cannibal.

Simple. Now we can start teaching our public school children the virtues of cannibalism. Easy as pie. Simple as putting a condom on a banana.

[Brilliant]

What I don't understand is why Germany is shocked.

[martian_22]

Not to worry. After the initial shock, the German people will come to tolerate and accept this rich and diverse cultural practice.

These things take time. The Nazis weren't conditioned to shovel Jews into ovens overnight. Given time, people can be "guided" to accept anything as OK.

Anyone read STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND?



I bet Heinlein could have concocted one heck of a reasonable explanation for this man's actions...and those of his "victim."


(Was there really a victim?)

[Jorge]

This is obviously just way too cool for any of us to ever understand.
