I mean, honestly, the only thing standing between me and cannibalism are some local regulations.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I had a friend in college who always said " The worst thing I could say is that I'd kill you and not eat you." Somehow this was endearing and disturbing all at once. I do hope she's doing well.
I hope we all have someone out there who thinks of us with this level of genuine fondness precisely because of how weird we are.
if you're not going to eat me at least ~~fuck me~~ do a Weekend at Bernie's
Personally I practice catch and release. Much more ethical.
She was inspired by a fictional TV prank show she watched. WHAT THE FUCK
Welcome to the hell of living alongside the Republican Party. Don't try to make it make sense, you'll only hurt yourself.
I literally went crazy trying to make sense of everything when I was younger. I’m hopping in twenty more years I- tidal collapse? Never mind then.
How fucking stupid can someone be?
BY CITING A TRU TV SCRIPTED “PRANK” AS REASON TO WASTE TIME AND MONEY ON SHIT LIKE THIS.
The fuck dude. The fuck.
He's a Republican.

Why do republican politicians always oppose the greener option? This doesn’t even threaten oil interests.
The greener option almost always represents change. The funeral business is very large, and probably one of the least ethical businesses around. They take advantage of grieving people and charge them way too much money to be filles with preservatives and stuck in the ground. It's a big business, and change is bad for existing business, though it'll create all new businesses that take advantage of those people.
In fact, if this lawmaker was being paid by some funeral industry lobby, I wouldn't be even a little surprised.
Knowing Republicans, Heather Scott has been craving some strange meat.
Oh Idaho, the Florida of the PNW
Well if that’s true then 99%+ of people are cannibals lol.
100%. Even the ones who aren't breast-fed (which is sort of cannibalism if you think about it).
Dear god don't put ideas into their heads
I mean the only issue I can think of with human composting is maybe potential prison diseases if the compost is used to farm food.
The risk of prion diseases are low. Prions are proteins and do biodegrade. The product of composting is dirt, which we -normally- don't eat, which lowers the risk even lower.
This Canadian study found a low risk of BSE (aka mad cow disease) after composting BSE infected biomaterials. They concluded that it's a viable option for disposal of such waste.
I don't want low risk. I want no risk.
Nothing is "no risk"
I at least want the risk quantified better than "low". Just how low?
This is me, a reasonable normal human person, expecting something useful to be said by a republiQan.
As long as it remains legal for me to eat my leg if I ever need it amputated, I'm fine with it
I want the skin of mine as the binding of a book. And the contents of the book will be a novel I commission about the amputation of my leg.
So I guess the obvious conclusion is that she considers compost delicious? Why else would she make that connection?
as long as my good donor organs are already put to good use i don't fucking care which organisms break my body down.
but also this is a republican lawmaker lying stupidly, which is the core skill set for that job
guess it could protect from prions
