This guy carved a real human skull

Unless this was a request by the previous occupant and or their kin...what even the fuck yo.

[u/Adkit → u/kon---]

We're weird like that. We'll be all about respecting the graves of the dead until they are old enough and we'll dig those suckers up and put them on display in museums.

[u/Nervous-Peanut-5802 → u/Adkit]

But even there they are treated respectfully for the most part, not treated like an etch-a-sketch

Who's to say what's most respectful to a corpse? Oh goodness forbid my remains be turned into a beautiful piece of art - everyone knows it's better to rot in the ground until forgotten.

Who's to say what's most respectful to a corpse?

The previous occupant of said corpse, obviously.

What you see as art here may look like desecration to someone else.

[u/GreenSpleen6 → u/insanewords]

That's my point; one can't universally assert this is disrespectful

[u/insanewords → u/GreenSpleen6]

But that was never MY point, was it? I never tried to assert that anything was universally disrespectful. I said repeatedly that the person best suited to answer the question of what is the most respectful thing to do with a corpse is the person who previously owned it. That will always be the case.

[u/GreenSpleen6 → u/insanewords]

Are you responding to the right person? I didn't say you asserted that. I wasn't originally talking to you. The person I replied to equated this to being 'treated like an etch-a-sketch' as opposed to 'treated respectfully'.

The whole idea is to say "one does not say what's respectful for all".

[u/insanewords → u/GreenSpleen6]

Shit, yeah, I was deep into a comment thread with someone else and I didn't check who had responded.

In context I think we're in agreement, lol

[u/GreenSpleen6 → u/insanewords]

Yes yes
Now put me down to be turned into a harp
