Do you people eat human bodies? I just want to share this from a blog I read.
--The guy entered a native village and pointed to a quantity of meat, spitted upon long skewers, being smoke-dried over numerous smoldering fires. A native man said yes and asked the guy if he is. And a few minutes later, the chieftain of the village came forward with an offering, which consisted of large and generous portions of flesh, only too obviously of human origin. He seemed genuinely disappointed when the guy refused.--
Historically shrouded in mystery, myth, symbolism, fear and speculation, cannibalism remains in most cultures one of the ultimate taboos. There's a book called "The Man-Eating Myth" the first known account of cannibalism came following an expedition to the West Indies, led by Christopher Columbus. Columbus and his crew supposedly discovered that the Carib West Indies tribe participated in a particularly gruesome practice of ritualistically eating the flesh of other humans.
I heard that Cannibalism is also a practice that reaches across centuries and cultures that they considered atrocious and sacrilegious, whereas in another culture that it is a sacred and revered custom. Can you believe that? Eating your own flesh is a form of sacred sacrifice? There are numbers of movies, books, and even on television are about cannibalism. For me, its the most scariest and freakiest type of practice by human.

And to think they are eating them raw. doh I can't even eat exotic foods. I am totally scared of that wrong turn movie. They even look scary. How come they would eat human when they lived in a forest where you can hunt meat and veggies.

YUKKY YUKKY,i have heard of such type of rituals, does it still go on in this world hard to believe thou, i think these people still live in past,someone has to go there and teach those freaks a manner or two. i think these type of people are no different than an animals but still animals can be said just like that but these are humans with brain. i don't know what they get with these rituals of cannibalism. well i heard mostly chickens are sacrificed to some sort of god to protect them. i hope these people will learn one day or the other that they are wrong.glare

Those people who does this are far from civilization. I don't think they still exist but there is a possibility from other lands.


myLot reputation of 90/100. varunvasanth (1069)  3 years ago

well as you said may be true, there may be still people like that lurking in corners of this world who knows perhaps so,but still this world has grown from past to the future that is certain.even if they still exist is a small chance.


myLot reputation of 82/100. bubblepink (449)   ranked 5,810 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

Really small chance. I kept remembering news about killing people chopping them into pieces. It was so terrible! My cousin told me about their neighbor who killed the crazy lady from their streets. People from their town wondered why they haven't seen her for weeks when suddenly the guy (their neighbor) killed her and cooked her for his meal. I guess they are both out of their minds.


myLot reputation of 90/100. varunvasanth (1069)  3 years ago

Thats too crazy, how is this even possible to kill than to think about cooking ,such sort of activity is no different than madness cannibalism,i wonder if he thought about this too. i wonder how cruel a person can be.


myLot reputation of 82/100. bubblepink (449)   ranked 5,810 out of 26,919 in people  3 years ago

I know! I guess he had some issues. I don't want to know the details because it was too scary. Thing I know is that the guy got arrested for doing such a horrible act.


myLot reputation of 90/100. varunvasanth (1069)  3 years ago

i think he is apted for a mental treatment than going to a prison,this sort of killings are signs of insanity,really in a way people cant kill themselves even animals wont do such a think.i hope these people come to their senses.
