Every word or image is booby trapped with potential offence. Because almost everyone's entitled to be offended at anything. And being offended is the ultimate trump-card. Whoever plays it first wins.

Ack! How'd I miss this awesome post before! :doh:sacha wrote:That is something I would say in front of the mothers of the children.JackRayner wrote:
One of the moms I know is convinced that I don't like kids. (One time I was driving past a school bus stop with a bunch of kids, and there were some vultures picking through garbage bags on the other side of the road, and I asked her "Wouldn't it be hilarious if one of those vultures snatched a kid away?" Hahaha.) She might be right...
A vulture flying off with a wailing child would be hilarious, especially if the child was wailing because they demanded a toy and someone said no. I'd like my own air force of giant vultures that I could summon at will. They would eat very well... very well indeed.
I do like vultures quite a bit. My choice for my remains, (after they use the bits they can for others who need them) is sky burial. I can't think of a better way to dispose of my dead body. I posted an long essay as to why I am so enamoured by the idea, a complete explanation of what it entails, and the "spiritual" reasons it is done in certain cultures (I reject that part of it). I included a series of documentary photographs of a sky burial. Nothing at all graphic in comparison to what is shown in Hollywood films that have violent scenes. Not a single image depicted violence at all.
The man was already dead, and the photographs were simply a documentation of the event, which is common practice in Tibet. I found the images fascinating. The photographer did not attempt to skew the perception of the event, or even betray his opinion on the practice. Only one showed the body being prepared, one could only see his back, and there was no blood. One showed his skull and part of his spine in skeleton form, and one showed a person breaking a part which could not be identified into smaller pieces. All the rest were the birds, and bits of unidentifiable flesh. If you did not know they were eating a human, it would not have crossed your mind. It just looked like vultures, doing what vultures do. Feeding on carrion. There were two ravens who joined the feast, all the rest were vultures.
Without warning the entire post was deleted, not just the images, but all of the text as well. This was years ago, before I made it a point to keep important things stored elsewhere in case they disappear. I originally posted it on AN. Apparently the host company has a rule against photographs of dead bodies. Of course I don't see the war images being deleted. A pile of concentration camp victims skeletal bodies in a giant pile - just fine to post. All sorts of war images depicting violent death, even videos with limbs being blown off, and people suffering in agony before death. There are numerous images of innocent people lynched with crowds of white US southerners laughing and cheering in the 1950's. What about the well known image of Emmet Till's tortured and mutilated face and body in his coffin? If the reason for the rule is to protect people from seeing things that may upset them, certainly these images should be at the top of the list.
But a series of photographs of someone who died accidentally (the body looked too healthy for serious illness) and requested in advance that his remains be disposed of in this way, probably because of his beliefs, by an experienced "sky burial preparer" and is embraced by a large culture of people, is simply not permitted to be seen. If they had issued a warning, I would have taken down the images myself, and left the rest of the post.
I was so cross that a rule which is ridiculous to begin with, (unless it is extremely specific about what sort of image of a dead person is not permitted) was enforced with my post which gave well researched and detailed information on a practice embraced by a culture, which does not cause harm, violence, or suffering to any living thing, along with my detailed positive perspective of the practice, and why I find it to be the most beneficial to other creatures, and the environment, and the most appropriate way to leave no trace, that I have ever heard of.
It took me a very long time, but I finally posted a similar, although condensed version on another networking site. It took me quite a while to find the images again. (I had them saved on a computer that had since died) I even looked to see if that host company had the same rule before posting. I could not find anything in their code of conduct relating to that.
All of a sudden a few months later, that post was removed as well. The entire post, not just the photographs. I know it was not the person running the site, and there are not a lot of members, most of us know one another. The site isn't well known enough to get complaints from the sort of people who would go out of their way to get it removed.
The last time I looked, a few months ago, I could not longer find the series of images I used. There are others, but they are not the same quality, and most of them were taken by photographers who took the images with the intent to shock, not document without an agenda...
I despise the easily offended, puritan, cultural contempt, anti-intellectual, jingoistic, xenophobic, illusory superiority, and those who demand to be protected from words and images.
I have little doubt that this rule was written by Merkins.
Many species of vulture are going extinct, by the way. They are poisoned by the poison which is used to kill what they eat, There is a lack of sufficient food, as larger carrion is often not left for the vultures, but picked up and discarded in human populated areas.
Also lead poisoning (from the gun shot which killed what they are eating), direct poisoning, electrocution (by powerlines), collisions with wind turbines, reduced food availability, lack of suitable nesting areas, and habitat change.
http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/specie ... hp?id=3371
They are also poisoned by the use of an anti-inflammatory given to cattle, which is still being used even though there is a substitute that works just as well, which is not lethal to the vultures:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_VultureThe Indian Vulture and the Indian White-rumped Vulture, G. bengalensis species have suffered a 99%–97% population decrease in Pakistan and India and between 2000-2007 annual decline rates of this species and the Slender-billed Vulture averaged over 16%. The cause of this has been identified as poisoning caused by the veterinary drug diclofenac. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and when given to working animals it can reduce joint pain and so keep them working for longer. The drug is believed to be swallowed by vultures with the flesh of dead cattle which were given diclofenac in the last days of life. Diclofenac causes kidney failure in several species of Vultures.
went off on a rant there...
Vultures abducting petulant children... yes. I'd love to see that... save the vultures, sacrifice the children
