Swedish artist makes painting from remains of Holocaust victims - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730798]Now you're getting it![/QUOTE] What's the point in being a nihilist :S?

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730827]No technically it's still the previous owner's possession unless he signed it away to them.[/QUOTE] well then i guess case closed, the artist isn't allowed to use the corpse without the dead dude's permission beforehand! :)

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730827]No technically it's still the previous owner's possession unless he signed it away to them.[/QUOTE] Well it's pretty hard to sign things over when you're being gassed by the Nazi's

[QUOTE=Simski;38730837]What's the point in being a nihilist :S?[/QUOTE] it gives teenagers a license to feel intelligent because they've reached the stage of adolescent brain development where they can think about abstract concepts (albeit shallow concepts)

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730484]>You are dead >You cannot know >You are unaware that a man is having sex with your corpse >No one is harmed seems like pretty good logic to me![/QUOTE] Try going to Arlington and doing that. It's a little different when you actually have ethics.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;38730687]Let's say someone shoots you without you having any idea of it. That's okay right?[/QUOTE] Assuming you mean that the shot would kill me, it's not okay, but it wouldn't matter to me because I'd be fucking dead.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38730842]well then i guess case closed, the artist isn't allowed to use the corpse without the dead dude's permission beforehand! :)[/QUOTE] He never technically gave it to anyone. If he signed it away to the family, and they had the body, and this guy came and stole it, I would have a problem, but as it stands, he's basically just taking someone who was already dead and putting their bodies to use.

[QUOTE=Paramud;38730865]it's not okay ... but it wouldn't matter[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730827]No technically it's still the previous owner's possession unless he signed it away to them.[/QUOTE] Legally, you are wrong. There's a reason why they give you back the ashes of your family after they've cremated them.

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730874]He never technically gave it to anyone.[/QUOTE] which is why the artist has no right to take it lol

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730874]He never technically gave it to anyone. [/QUOTE] So can I have your Steam games, since technically you haven't said I can't take them?

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38730886]which is why the artist has no right to take it lol[/QUOTE] Well, it was no one's property. Yeah I said technically it was the previous owner's, but I was implying that if a body can actually [I]belong[/I] to anyone, it would be that guy.

Technically the government should be able to detain, murder and spy on us whenever they want because we haven't explicitly signed a piece of paper that says, 'don't do this'. That's the problem. You aren't nihilist, you're just wrong.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38730876]a quote[/QUOTE] Thank you for your wonderful gift of silence. I really do appreciate it coming from you.

hey guys let's all make fun of patriarch's deceased relatives

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730902]Well, it was no one's property. Yeah I said technically it was the previous owner's, but I was implying that if a body can actually [I]belong[/I] to anyone, it would be that guy.[/QUOTE] then it would /technically/ belong to the dead guy or the family, but in no hypothetical situation would it ever end up belonging to the artist

[QUOTE=Patriarch;38730745]What would they benefit from having the body? How are they seriously harmed from this?[/QUOTE] There's this thing called attachment that humans and even animals show. If you don't understand such a basic concept, then there's not point arguing about something like this. I understand what you're saying, what's left after a dead person or animal is essentially just a shell, but due to our nature it is natural and normal to still feel attachment to a dead object or even things. I'm guessing you understand all this, but tries to use this "nihilist" argument just to provoke. And if you are a true nihilist, why do you even bother answering our posts. There's no damn point at all.

[QUOTE=Paramud;38730914]Thank you for your wonderful gift of silence. I really do appreciate it coming from you.[/QUOTE] aw look everyone it thinks it's being clever

[QUOTE=Paramud;38730914]Thank you for your wonderful gift of silence. I really do appreciate it coming from you.[/QUOTE] You've contributed greatly to this argument.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38730854]it gives teenagers a license to feel intelligent because they've reached the stage of adolescent brain development where they can think about abstract concepts (albeit shallow concepts)[/QUOTE] I considered nihilism for a while when I lost faith in anything supernatural and came to the realization that there really isn't any reason to believe our existence has any at all purpose. I however came to the conclusion that sulking about a blank canvas isn't as fun as painting on it.

[QUOTE=01271;38729416]I guess this is one way of quite literally ending up in the DA appreciation station. Those poor people not only burned to death but then were made into the worst painting ever.[/QUOTE] What painting? If that is a painting, then the Cheetos dust I smeared on my pants leg is nothing short of a masterpiece.

[/QUOTE] It's "natural" to be racist; it doesn't mean you have to support racism. You can explain a lot of things down to nature, and whilst there is probably a biological origin in it, we as humans can overcome it.

I came in here thinking he was painting Nazi shit. This rectangle is actually worse.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;38731024]why are you such a bad poster[/QUOTE] are you having a bad day or did your glasses fog up in a fit of rage and you had trouble understanding the mind numbingly simple point i was making

[QUOTE=Kopimi;38731038]are you having a bad day or did your glasses fog up in a fit of rage and you had trouble understanding the mind numbingly simple point i was making[/QUOTE] It wasn't simple, nor a point; you basically just took something I said earlier and got rid of the grammar and stuck it onto some other point.
