Could you eat human flesh?

[POed_Ex_Repub]

For some reason the other day I was thinking about that movie "Alive". For those of you not familiar with it

So if you had to choose between starvation and cannibalism... Well... could you?

[justinpower]

1. Depends

Is it free range, organic human?

[Blue-Jay]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Shit, that was funny. Thanks!

[Intelsucks]

2. With all due respect... How would any of us know until we were starving

to death.:shrug:

[stepnw1f]

3. We may have to...

the way things are going.

4. Evidently, Robb is still a dingbat

5. No

It's too fatty.

6. Ever hear of the right-wing Colorado Republican Cannibal?

A judged sentenced him, saying something like, "There were four Democrats in ______ County, and you ate all of them!"

22. Alferd Packer?

7. Of course I eat human flesh, i'm a left-winger. Don't you watch Fox?

:evilgrin:

[Exultant Democracy]

8. I've never eaten any flesh, life long veg here

so not to skirt the moral issue, but I would assume that it is a non-issue for me. If I was to the point where I was starving so badly that I would have to eat flesh, the resulting sickness from trying to consume meat for the first time, would probably kill me.

9. I've smelled burning flesh before- worst smell ever

Why chicken flesh smells so good burnt, i have no clue.

[Jesus H. Christ]

12. See, you need to kick it up a notch.

Just a little seasoning, and bam!

[Heyo]

18. Not to be morbid..

And you don't have to answer this if it's not appropriate...

I can't help but be curious under what circumstances you smelled burning flesh...

Maybe it's a bad question.. if so I am sorry.

Heyo

[MrSlayer]

10. Sure, if I had to.

No problem.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

11. 2/3's would eat people?

Remind me to never get on a plane with you guys. ;)

[Blue-Jay]

13. When's your next flight?

Are you lean, yet not stringy?

[POed_Ex_Repub]

14. Stop looking at me like that...

:o

[geniph]

15. Sure, I'm a humanitarian!

in extremis, yes, you bet, filet Manyon works for me.

[thermodynamic]

16. Well, to those who wanted the sex threads banned, isn't this lovely?

Now we've got cannibalism threads! :-) And that leads to a joke I ain't gonna say... :D

I'll die, don't pass the acquaintance, thanks all the same...

[Heyo]

17. Will to live.

I think my will to live would take over...

If it means living if I do it, dying if I don't, pass the ketchup.

If I'm with some people and we're ever stranded stranded, and I die first, they're are welcome to chow down.. I'm a pretty skinny guy, so hopefully it doesn't happen over thanksgiving...

-Heyo

20. Psst.. If you're offended, don't click on the thread

It's not like I disguised the subject line or anything. :shrug:

[joeybee12]

19. I'd rather eat Johnson, sir. I like my meat is little more lean...

He's not kosher--Well, it depends on how we kill him.

[Nevernose]

21. How is it cooked?

How would it be prepared?

[Lisa0825]

23. I would rather die!!!!

I have a major aversion to even the idea of eating human flesh, but even stronger, I am phobic about being eaten (not including sexual definitions;-) ). When my ex and I watched the movie, I made him promise that if our plane ever crashed, and he thought I wouldn't survive, he had to carry me far away, and bury me so no one could find me. But after thinking about it, that wasn't good enough, because bugs and animals could still find me, and that really creeped me out too. I also decided that when I die, I want to be cremated because I don't want natural decomposition to take place (bacteria, bugs, etc... YUCK!!!!!!)

[NoPasaran]

24. Tastes just like kitten...

Seriously, read In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick. A great tale of survival and cannibalism.

[Piperay]

25. I'm a vegetarian

so I would just starve to death. :shrug: :-(

[philosophie_en_rose]

26. Soylent Green!

:puke:

For some reason, I'm not so sure that we're not already eating people.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

27. Sure if I had to. I could even prepare it.

I'll cook anything.

[slackmaster]

28. Dibs on the pitutary

I want the adrenochrome rush.

[fortyfeetunder]

Where did you think the term "Long Pig" came from?

Interesting term, but I had no idea we'd taste like ham....
