Certainly not, if I would be so inclined to eat my dog's corpse it wouldn't be wrong either. Just because I don't WANT to doesn't mean I have to think those who do are doing something immoral.

For me. I said it was wrong for the girl to push the boy off the swing. I stand by that. Deceased chicken sex... that's alright. Disgusting, but not morally wrong.

There are health issues to concern. Some people consider deliberately putting yourself in danger of salmonella or other poultry related bacteria to be naughty (not much different than putting your health at risk with dirty needles), there's also the morallity/immorality of beastiality to consider... oh, and its really really disgusting.Chareen said:
Thats why I voted it morally wrong.

So, I should no longer cook with chicken? I mean, I'm putting myself at health risk just handeling it. What is the likely hood that one would contract salmonella from having sex with a dead chicken (unless oral)? As far as I am aware one has to consume the raw or not fully cooked chicken (or juice of) to contract salmonella.
Also, you put yourself at health risk anytime you have sex. Is sex morally wrong?
I guess I would say I don't think necro beastiality would be morally wrong. Animals that are alive, different story.
I would also say I find it absolutly repulsive, but the discussion isn't about personal taste.

I think this poll is unrevealing. We are trapped into the subjectivity of our own society's mores, are we not? While I can see that the absolute morality value of having sex between brother and sister is not there (if nobody was hurt, they counted it a positive experience). But the fact is, in the culture I was raised in, I would find it repugnant. If I caught my own son and daughter doing it, I would probably have a meltdown.
In my culture, I am taught that sex with a sibling is repugnant, that sex with a chicken is perverted (and wouldn't that freeze your willy?
) that eating a dead pet is just plumb nasty. I can't shake it without a great deal of effort, and frankly, I can't view it without a knee-jerk reaction of revulsion; not because it's "wrong" but because I was raised to believe that it is simply not acceptable.
HOWEVER, in some cultures (ancient Egypt springs to mind), it was perfectly acceptable for the Queen to marry her brother, and to produce children from that marriage! In ancient Greece, an adult man having sex with a young boy was not only acceptable, it was considered quite an honor for the boy. In some cultures even today, people treat their pet cats and dogs like the animals they are, instead of like little furry children; therefore eating them would not be beyond the pale.
I don't think the poll can reflect that, and I don't think our answers are illuminating (my own, either), because it's not really measuring our "morality" but more how well we have adapted to or overcome the ingrained training of life in our cultures.

I'd be bothered a bit by witnessing the brother/sister & chicken lovin', but whatever turns your crank, it's not really my concern. I'll assume he wore a condom or something for it to truly "safe" sex with a frozen chicken corpse.
... Unless you want to feed me the buggered chicken. Major gag reflex just thinking about that. But I'm "picky" about some things.

What absurdly easy questions. I was expecting something interesting.
I've always thought that it should be legal to recycle corpses (feed dead pets/humans to different animals) for environmental reasons, as long as there were no health risks. I'd be perfectly happy for my corpse to be used to make a wolf happy for a day, rather than waste resources with cremation or burial. In fact, if it weren't for the possiblilies of transmitting diseases, I think humans should be able to recycle each other.
(Then again, maybe I can just say this because I'm a vegetarian, so I wouldn't be eating human flesh or Fido anyway.)

Well, various forms of composting works for me. There are always various forms of donating your body to science. Grind up and feed to bacteria/worms, or burn and grind up. Not much difference.
The very worst would be to tie up valuable real estate with a box in another concrete box, buried like toxic contaminants.
At least the cremation leftovers can be put to use. Bone meal is good for roses and other plants that like "sweet" soil, so I've heard. The rest precipitates and/or gets recycled through the food chain.
Actually, we're all inhaling millions of atoms that have been parts of other people right now.
More, if you live near a crematorium.
Halloween's on a friday.

Well, mostly my own cats have died of being eaten by predators.
Generally, the ones that have died close have been horribly injured or very sick. A bit unappetizing to see a kitty with his head crushed messily under an SUV's wheel. A cat that's gone and poisoned himself by eating a poisoned rat isn't going to be any good for me. Aresenic is elemental, and therefore won't "cook out".
Besides, I'm more prone to eat out of a box out of the microwave. Not much of a cooker.

Hm... if your body was going to be disposed of be predators, what predator would you choose to feed?
I'd say a Mexican red wolf, they need all the help they can get.
What about poultry that gets hit by a car and then frozen?

As far as eating your pets go, has anyone else on here raised livestock? You care for them (in both the "take care" and emotional sense of the word), interact with them, then youse kills 'em and eats 'em. I find that considerably more humane than buying a frozen chicken that spent it's life in a constricting wire cage (which is how I get my protein these days).
Well, I've never bonded with a chicken, but pigs are quite sociable and intelligent. OTOH, when my mother was a teenager she took care of a rooster from when he was a chick, so he bonded to her and would follow her around anywhere. One day she came home to find roasted cock for dinner. She was not pleased. I don't think she ever got over that one.

Morals are personal convictions, not absolute unbreakable laws.
Now, if someone told me to have sex with a chicken or a sibling, I would refuse. Health factors and psychiatric factors would be my influence, not morals.
Well, that and my brothers are brats.
And I'll bet that chicken was, too.

Stupid! Is she so poor she can't afford to go to the store an buy some paper towels and cleaning fluid?
That would depend on how the cat was prepared.
I swear I've eaten roadkill at this one Chinese place... or was it Korean?
Why do all these questions revolve around rednecks?
I love these country questions.
Yes, but it would bother me even more to see him eating it afterwards!
By now I think it's obvious which country they're talking about...
PLANET X!
Wait, brown dwarf stars faked by woo woos don't count as other countries, do they?

Why is it stupid to reuse something that otherwise would have been thrown away? If she doesn't want the flag, at least this way she gets some use out of it before she discards it.c4ts said:
