Except he's not speaking for them, but telling us how he [b]think[/b] the vets would react.
[QUOTE=DELL;50451534]You know I don't get why it's offensive over marked graves. News flash you most likely walk over hundreds if not a thousand corpses a day. You just haven't stopped to think about the fact that their are corpses everywhere. Also the dead don't give a flying fuck they no longer exist within the human world and possibly no other.[/QUOTE] I wish I could experience the same amount of edge and carelessness for history that you do, even just for a moment. I'd ask how you would feel if I dug up your grandparents but it sounds like you wouldn't. Disrespecting a grave is fucked up whether it's unmarked or a mausoleum. But since the graveyard owners allowed it then it isn't the filmmaker's fault really.
[QUOTE=DELL;50452459]Well the answer is yes as that's all emotional. In the range of 100-500 years it could very well be overwritten and forgotten in a physical space. What people want doesn't matter as math and logic overtake. I don't want my corpse changed in any way, well your corpse cures some problem guess what fuck what you want the problem comes first. [/QUOTE] if I told you that you would be the greatest person this world would ever known and then when you died I would make your grave into a landfill and take a shit on it, how would you feel?

As in, [i]I no longer exist[/i], so by definition I cannot care about anything. I'm not sure why people find it so hard to grasp this concept.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;50454223]They really are. And funerals are a big scam, they're stupid too. I just want to be in the prettiest urn, at least then I can be a beautiful decoration in a home. People won't have to drive just to put flowers on my grave, gas and flowers gets damn expensive. Just look at my urn and go "oh yeah, I remember that dude!"[/QUOTE] Even wanting a nice urn feels a bit wrong to me. I just want them to cut me up and ship off everything usable as soon as they can, then burn everything else and throw the ashes in the sea. People will remember me however they like, I don't like the idea of getting some sort of flashy monument just to be sure. Graveyards are dumb and we shouldn't really bury people anymore, but I'm glad they exist. There is something nice about having a quiet place in the city that is also a reminder of our mortality; it gives perspective during everyday life.
It's quite disheartening to see how many people are getting seriously butt-mad about this. But I guess superstition and sentimental value gives strange properties to things. As with my own bias; hate is something I wouldn't want too much to be present at a graveyard.

[QUOTE=DELL;50454414]Well and in my heart of heart the thing that gives me the most pleasure and cuddly warm feelings outside of love is inflicting pain upon others. [/QUOTE] Congrats on openly admitting that you're a sociopath
