Cashmere, that's appalling, infuriating, rage-inducing. I am so sorry.

Kalshane - asshats, indeed. Grr.

Even for third-hand suffering? If I'm profoundly upset over something that happened to someone else, but no laws were broken, surely I can't sue for my resulting mental anguish.

I have no idea. The point in bringing that up wasn't that someone could sue for mental anguish over this particular act. My comment was offered to show the state does not keep itself out of things where the only damange done is mental anguish.

That said, I'm not sure where the line would be drawn as to who is a third party, where damages are concerned. If you have some rights (as next of kin) concerning a corpse, and someone abuses that corpse, are they abusing your property, or violating your rights? Good questions to which I have no answer.

If Joe Smith has sex with his dead wife (of natural causes) I think it's nasty. If someone steals or misappropriates the corpse to have sex with it--the crime starts with the misappropriation. Or the murder.

That is quite simply my point.

Fair enough. The discussion grew out of your saying you took no issue with people having sex with corpses. You didn't give particulars, nor did you seem to either know or acknowledge how most corpses are used for sex. It doesn't generally seem to be a case of someone having sex with the corpse of a lover who consented to sex with them, during their lives, and even then, unless the lover said, "Do what you want with me after I'm dead," I don't think it's irrational, or purely emotional to call it wrong.

So I never saw QaF, but who was my favorite person on all those VH1 80s/90s/BWE whatever shows? Hal Sparks

Now who am I loving on the trainwreck that is Celebrity Duets? HAL "who knew he had that big 'ol voice" Sparks!!

psst... msbelle loves a trainwreck!

msbelle is decompressing and was gonna have to clean in order to soak in the tub. tv was easier.

You didn't give particulars,

I did give particulars. You accused me of changing my point when I went into more detail.

nor did you seem to either know or acknowledge how most corpses are used for sex.

Don't mistake not caring for not knowing.

See, you haven't explained to me what is inherently wrong with eating or having sex with a corpse. You've explained to me situations in which it's wrong, but you're refining the general point too.

KALSHANE QUIT YOUR JOB BEEEEEEP

SERIOUSLY, dude. You're not going to find another job while you're sleep deprived and soon to be in the hospital from driving around half asleep. Quit now, get rest, find new job. Simple! And you'd have only had to deal with this bullshittery a minimum amount of time and be able to move on with the next stage of your professional life.

Because, you will be in the same situation if you hang on till something else comes along. You'll be TOO TIRED to grab it! QUIT NOW.

The ASSCAPS are to get your attention, because I know you are wiped out.

Quit. Monday. Screw 'em. They certainly have no problem screwing you.

it's nasty, it's disrespectful, and in virtually all cultures at least the eating of has been seen as socially and legally unacceptable.

I am gonna operate without hard facts linked to and I'm not gonna look for them, but I think that in Western Society, at least, sex has been a heavily restricted by laws for all sorts of things. Makes at least historic sense that it would be in this case.

Do I care if people do it, not really sure, but I am not sure I'd want to be part of a society that said it was ok.

Since I doubt the jails are clogged up because of either of these crimes, I'm good with them being on the books.

Check to be sure, but I believe that getting switched to third shift (and to a far location) is one of those things where you can quit and still get unemployment. But you have to do it fairly quickly.

Kalshane, what Nora said, so well.

Cashmere, I'm so sorry. Unreal. He is so lucky that you have his back.

Ignoring sex with corpse discussion.

Poor msbelle. I hope tomorrow is more comfortable. Ick.

Tired. Feet up. Watching SciFi. Loving that I don't have to get up early tomorrow. Whee!
