This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's actually the exact opposite to what he says. In the US you can do almost anything you want with human remains, while in Europe it's much more restricted. In Denmark for example, you have to have the body/ashes buried in a licensed cemetery. You can't keep the ashes yourself, you can't bury them in your backyard, you can't spread them at some random special place (except for the sea in rare circumstances).
The reason for restrictions in Denmark is to protect our clean ground water. If people could just place dead corpses or ashes everywhere, the drinking water would be polluted with heavy metals and other chemicals.
In Denmark heavy metal is for your ears only!
So like your drinking water isn't cleaned or filtered? It's simply just the groundwater in Denmark? I can't imagine creamed remains actually being a problem with a water supply, seems extreme.
Now I want to see your recipe book.
Oh ho ho no, this are creamed dad, old family recipe!
It's filtered, but that's it.
Drillings aren't allowed near graveyards or other polluted properties.
That's the same as in the US.
