We Talk Friday

(WTF)

This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might be heavier - regardless of the content topic itself though, just have some fun engaging and discussing with whoever happens to put in the effort in the comments section below.

We Talk Friday Ep. 74: Getting Chilly

1. I'm Thaw!

An 81 year old man and how 70 year old brother have been fined 2000 and 640 euros respectively for keeping their dead parents in freezers for 30 years. Apparently home cryogenics is illegal and they were charged with violating the sanctity of a grave. However, it was the wish of their parents to have this happen, so is it really a crime? Oh - one of the freezers had stopped working years earlier.

Personally, I want to be thrown into the forest for the animals to eat and feed the trees.

2. Protected Identity

Over the last years there have been many stories about rape and domestic violence and lots of men behaving badly. And pretty much, as soon as the allegations are made, the men's names are published and their lives and careers are ruined. I have no problem with ruined lives of assholes, but the problem is that some time later, many of these men are acquitted of the crime and often, the original allegations have proven false. If the courts have an innocent until proven guilty doctrine, but the person suffers the consequences of being guilty at the point of being charged, isn't that a broken system?

3. Plankety Plank

And I don't know if this is good news or not, but it is pretty impressive to say the least. A 61 year old woman from Canada beat her own world record for holding a plank position with a new mark of five hours. Five fucking hours!!! I don't think I could sit in the same spot for five hours straight, or lay. My planking record is about 47 seconds.

    Unless they murdered their parents before stuffing them in the freezer, there's no crime. As I see it, no victim, no crime.

    The third topic "the plankety plank". I believe she broke the record held by her to recreate another and a new record. It's always nice to try something new mostly something that you are fully convinced that it possible.
