I've been thinking about DU's tombstoning procedure |
|
The usual tombstone, in my opinion, ignores the religious practices of some DUers. Granted, this in accordance with the traditions of Jewish and Muslim practices of burying the dead before sundown, but it totally leaves out the Christian faiths' practice of having a wake before burial. I think the practitioners of these faiths should at least have a 3 day suspension before being buried, so that their loved ones can gawk at the dead before returning to the earth.
And then there's the DUers who want to be cremated - can't we get a, "He Disrupted Poorly" urn for them?
And then again, it seems many DUers practice reincarnation, so I respect DU for respecting their after life choices.
And also, should the tombstoned Atheists show a body being donated to science, or the body farm, or something similar?

6. I've been arguing for that for years |
|
The grave yard should also list their DOB and DOD.
We could have sign in sheets where DUers can relate stories about the departed.

:rofl:
I don't think we need to resurrect some, as they've already been infected with the zombie disease.
If you're speaking of others, I think there are some dances we could do, and incense we can burn to try to raise them from the dead. But remember, sometimes dead is better.

13. What about cryogenics? |
|
Someday a cure may be found for what afflicts those who have been tombstoned. They could be brought back if they're frozen like popsicles.

or to walk the plank?
I am interested in HOW they are sent into the next life.

19. Which brings up other issues |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 10:16 PM by jobycom
Is there a DU afterlife? If so, is there a DU Heaven, and a DU Hell? If so, who is president in each?
And what about purgatory? If we really liked a disruptor, can we make donations for the future salvation of their soul, perhaps to speed their passage to DU Heaven?
And since I am being Catholic about all this, can we have a confession, where disruptors can confess, do penance, and pay an indulgence for minor transgressions? Of course, there are mortal sins from which no one can be absolved, like saying something nice about Reagan.
And why not a DU Mardi Gras, and Lent? We can all have one day to go wild, insult whomever we want, reveal our hedonistic Republican urges, and then we can spend the next forty days in penitence. We would have to give up something for Lent--our favorite candidate, for instance--to prove we are truly penitent. Or our favorite baseball team, maybe.
And who is resurrected after Lent? Al Gore? Or do we choose a different candidate each year?

20. Just out of curiosity, what happens when a DUer is tombstoned? |
|
I mean, when they come back to the forums, what do they see? I was wondering since a forum I've hung out on used to redirect banned people to a Disney website so it was known as being "Disneyed" or "sent to the teacups."

22. Cybertaxidermy. I think disruptors should be stuffed and mounted. |
|
There could be an entire forum devoted entirely to their stuffed "remains," which would be the threads that did them in.
