Do you think that because the lady was willing was how come he got a short sentance?

Leo Wyatt · **Sat Apr 23, 2005 4:55 am**

If she was willing then there is something seriously wrong with her.

Yeah I know,just imadgen what sisuation she must have been in to be willing to let that guy kill and then eat her!

I suppose that as long as it can be confirmed that all parties, both eating and eaten, are willing in the practice of cannibalism, it's not so bad. I must place my support behind Meiwes in this instance as long as his meal was, indeed, a voluntary participant. This isn't a legal argument on my part, just one of personal belief.

what if the lady didn't consent to it and the guy just said that she did so he wouldn't get into too much trouble??

I'm pretty sure there's more evidence onhand than just his word. Besides, it seems as though he's getting in a lot of trouble anyway. Cannibalism may be an odd practice to us today, but I see no reason for forbidding its practice when everyone is willing.

I wonder what we taste like. lol... fish or chicken??

Hey Zeke, wanna come over later??

Not if that winking means what I think it does.

I must agree with Zeke. As long as both parties are willing, it shouldn't be illegal. Personally I don't see much of anything wrong with it. Its just a way of life.

Was ther proof that she consented to it?

Zeke Zabertini · Captain Joined: 13 Sep 2002 Posts: 4832

From what I've seen, there must be. It doesn't seem to be in dispute.

I guess Zeke is off the hook, I don't eat pork. That is some nasty stuff!

Probably is a lot greasier, being that america has become so fat.
yuck

this is sickening. this guy should go to an asylum, not be given a manslaughter charge

Zeke Zabertini · Captain Joined: 13 Sep 2002 Posts: 4832

I suppose that's a valid solution. I don't see the point of locking him up though, if he's not killing anyone that doesn't want to be killed.

Anyone who is not concerned about keeping this guy out in society and doesn't think he needs to be locked up, and go to jail concern me.

The supposed "consent" is irrelevant. Murder is wrong, period.

Zeke Zabertini · Captain Joined: 13 Sep 2002 Posts: 4832

I disagree. Killing is sometimes justified. When the victim wishes to die, it is assisted suicide, which I think is right. When the victim wants to kill you, it is self-defense. In war, innocents sometimes must be killed alongside the guilty to protect freedom and ideals, and this is justified. True pacifism is hard to come by. It's all about where you want to put the exceptions.

Assisted suicide is not murder unless the the victim is capable. Self-defense is not murder if one's life is at stake. Killing enemy soldiers who are capable of action is not murder.
