Nemo: Not all paedophiles put their feelings into practice. Therefore not all paedophiles are child molesters. Therefore not all paedophiles are sex offenders.

Nemo 08-30-2010 12:49 AM

I am willing to donate my testicles to this restaurant on the bet that he meant pedophiles in general.

They aren't serial killers waiting to strike, no. I'm sure there are many people who want to eat people but go their whole life without every doing it. I'm sure they'd benefit from this too, but that's pretty irrelevant to me because I'm not trying to defend cannibalism. What I am defending is the idea of a place for them to go to do their thing where they don't harm anyone. So the logical targets of my defense would be the people who ARE serial killers waiting to happen unless they have an alternative.

You've been watching far too many B movies if you think there are whole subclasses of society that are just waiting for the chance to eat someone. Think about how many cannibals have actually committed crimes in the last century. I can think of two, maybe three cases in all that time in the whole world.

If someone is attracted to the idea of eating someone but not killing them, then they're not going to kill anyone. If someone is attracted to the idea of eating someone and killing them, they're going to kill anyway because it gets them off. Either way, it's a moot point because the number of cannibal-attracted people in the world is incredibly low and the number who will compulsively act on those desires is much, much lower.

Josh 08-30-2010 04:24 AM

I have no problem with this. If the people who are having their organs eaten are consenting and the cannibals don't start killing people, let them do what they want.

Ridg3 08-30-2010 06:18 AM

Germans and their cannibalistic ways.

Although the idea of cannibalism disturbs me, I won't have a beef with the restaurant if it is consented. And as long it stays in Germany...

OANST 08-30-2010 06:30 AM

It's a joke, anyway. Who cares?

In other news, AOL still exists.

Hazel-Rah 08-30-2010 08:49 AM

I just threw up on my keyboard, thanks brah.

MeechMunchie 08-30-2010 09:07 AM

I'd eat human meat if it was gathered from a reputable source. I'm kind of curious now.

Hazel-Rah 08-30-2010 09:28 AM

So what do you guys think, you have to be crazy to eat human in the first place or eating human causes insanity??

lismati 08-30-2010 09:30 AM

Nether. Natives from Austraila were canibals, and I don't think they were insane.

abe619 08-30-2010 09:32 AM

you have to be crazy to eat a human in the first place.

Hazel-Rah 08-30-2010 09:33 AM

What about Hannibal Lecter he was tricked into eating human.

Josh 08-30-2010 09:37 AM

He was also fictional.

Hazel-Rah 08-30-2010 09:38 AM

Thanks.

I was under the impression that it was a little more common than one or two people per century in other places in the world, but I never said it was some kind of leading cause of death or anything. I also said that I know it's not going to really change anything, but if it winds up saving at least one life than it was worth it. That was the defense I decided on and ran with it.

I figured as much. But it still brings up the interesting point of something like that actually happening.

... and so do AOL Chatrooms, as I found out a month ago.

They are as hilarious horrible as ever.

STM 08-30-2010 10:17 AM

This is mucked up poop, really, I couldn't I think anyone that eats human meat is not right in the head or just very backwards. like a tribal.

It doesn't, though. That's because it wouldn't happen. It's not a feasible business model. For a restaurant to stay open you need a constant supply of food. So, even if there is some sort of cannibalistic cabal within the surrounding area of the place, the stock would still be exhausted within a week's time.

Plus, who would fund such a business? Who would rent the space to them? No. It's not interesting. It's a two second then move on laugh.

Eh. I find out-there ideas interesting. The fact that it will likely never happen is part of what makes it fun to talk about as if it is likely to happen. Because how else can a conversation about the merits of a cannibal restaurant happen?

Mac Sirloin 08-30-2010 10:45 AM

I am being quite serious when I say this:

"The restaurant says it will pick up any hospital costs incurred by willingly mutilated diners."
I am going to have my arms chopped off and replaced with robotic super-prosthetics like THIS (You might have to hover your mouse over it.) and then eat my arms in the form of a customized horrific hot pocket.

Dynamithix 08-30-2010 11:05 AM

That's fucked up.

Also, how messed up can someone be when he videotapes himself eating a man?

Hey, I'd have thought you'd be all for a cannibal resteraunt. Seeing as how, once again, you've forfeited rational discussion just to tear into one another with cheap shots... and hell, you waste no time doing it- you're already at someone's throat by the middle of page one.

Good ol' OWF.

Mac Sirloin 08-30-2010 12:01 PM

Except for me

I'm magical and smart

Dixanadu 08-30-2010 02:50 PM

That pretty much happens in most threads. Topic may be "This happened", then half a page in it goes up in a shit storm.

I'd love to see what crappy puns they place on the menu. Could you imagine seeing "Dry Roasted Torso w/ sprinkled penis".

Cheque please...

That happened to one tribe in New Guinea that didn't cook meat properly.

Mac Sirloin 08-30-2010 04:55 PM

I think that knowingly consuming human flesh without actually wanting to (IE being forcefed or some shit) may not be psychologically happenin' for some folks, but I really don't have any problem with eating Human flesh as long as it was willingly proferred. I'd gladly share my arms with any friends.

Unless the victim suffers from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (essentially mad cow disease in humans), eating human meat would not be a cause of insanity any more than other meat. If this restaurant were to actually happen, you'd hope that they would get a full medical history of the 'donors' before allowing them to be eaten. After all, humans aren't quite as well-sheltered from experience as the average cow or chicken.

Nether. Natives from Austraila were canibals, and I don't think they were insane.

Clarification: Not all Australian Aboriginals were cannibals and none of them were what you'd imagine as the stereotypical savage man-eaters. In some tribes there was a tradition of ritually eating the body of babies who died in childbirth or at a very young age in order that their souls should live on in the rest of the tribe. Distasteful for us to consider, yes, but there is a sort of meaningful symbolism in the act.

Wait... the most rational post in the entire thread was from Dipstikk? Is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?!

Dynamithix 08-30-2010 08:42 PM

Why is everyone making bad jokes about cannibalism?

It's serious business. Get it? Business. 'Cause they're opening a restaur- Ah, forget it.

It says in the article that you need to fill out a medical form just to eat at the place, so I doubt it'd be easier to get on the menu.

Pilot 08-30-2010 09:34 PM

Flesh is flesh, it's all about the "taboo."

Change the way you were told to think and everything gets better.

Considering that I'm not allowed to even donate blood due to the fact that I've had sex with a man in the last 12 months, and my brother is never allowed to donate because he lived in the UK in the '90's, I would hope that this restaurant's standards are as least as strict.

Speaking of which... Did I mention that someone me of a friend of his, who had actually shared his arm with his friends. Said it tasted like chicken.

Dunno if he was joking, but it didn't seem like it. So yea.. x_x

People should do what Alf and I did and go on hiatus for a while. The fresh air will do them some good.

Yeah, but it was off-topic, so it doesn't count.

I think the titular restraunt is disgusting as all hell, but if people are consenting to it, who am I to bust a cap in their fun?

I'm just glad I'm nowhere near it.

OANST 08-31-2010 08:47 AM

Christ, people. It isn't real.

abe619 08-31-2010 08:59 AM

i will never eat human flesh even if the ppl who died or had their organs donated were consenting, it's just so terrible, imagine.......the ppl who had those limbs or organs are/were just like u, now imagine eating ur own organs.
it's actually very very bad for my religion too.
a single chomp could grant me a one way ticket to hell if i was a saint.

I would. Just to see what it's like.
