Apparently he thought Soylent Green was a documentary.
Gee, what a waste — why not full-on Soylent Green?!
Soylent Green be peoples!
She sounds like she already is “human compost”.
I want to be a willow, so I can eat my hobbitses.
We are all going to die! In less than 125 years every man, woman and child now living will be dead!!!
It's Bush's fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.
Womyn and minorities will be hardest hit.
eh, not much different then what they did in the old days, if you died, they just buried you along the trail somewhere and you decomposed...When I go, just bury me by the lake somewhere, I’ll be just fine I think.
Actually in modern Germany bodies are only buried for so long. After a period of time, I think it’s ten years or so, the body is dug up and cremated and the plot is reused. They only have so much space.
This is not new stuff. Both my parents wanted cremation. Cost me $600 for my dad's cremation and cardboard urn-box, because it was cheaper. About the same for my mom. They didn't want me to spend all of their money burying them.
My wife's family, on the other hand, spent over $12,000 to bury her step-dad, who everyone in the family hated. They look back now and regret spending so much money to bury the SOB.
Most normal people have that particular epiphany around age 5 or 6.
Wait, we already have DeathCare. Most people call it ObamaCare.
I’m way ahead of her. As a Marine, I’m entitled to burial at sea. I’ll be fish food and it’ll be better than rotting in the ground.
Why doesn’t this loser just donate her body to the forensic body farm in the South (TN? KY? forget exactly which)? Then she can fulfill all her fantasies of just decomposing naturally in the wilderness while actually being useful to science.
Never mind standard medical cadaver donations.
Is it a she? a he? an it?
Human burial practices exist for several reasons, not the least of which is for sanitary purposes.
Another reason, and a good one, is the gravestone, which allows people to have a place to go to remember the dead one, and to pay tribute.
Why not turn human skin into lamp shades? Oh, wait, the Nazis already did that with dead Jews.
I’m sure not everyone will, but I agree with John Piper’s proposal in the article linked below. I don’t like cremation and I like the idea of composting even less.
“Should Christians Cremate Their Loved Ones? A Modest Proposal”

Gross. It’s getting more & more heathen every day. My mother
made me promise I’d have a Christian burial. Aunt Mildred
also said that she believed the bones should be left in
a grave so that they will be resurrected when Christ
returns to this earth. (I know Christ is able to recognize
our DNA in the dust; but the heathens can keep their
fire rituals.) Sorry. This “cheaper” modern day trend
toward cremation is not my choice. - A decent burial is
possible without using the most expensive things they offer
at the funeral parlor; and it is the very last thing one
can do for their loved ones.
