They'd let you down by trying to let you down and somehow lifting you up in an entirely not-uplifting way.

When I die, go spread my ashes everywhere. Don't want a burial.

It would be pretty rad to be cremated like this http://tinyurl.com/p422stw

When I die, I really don't give a fuck what you do with my body, as long as you put it away when you're done.

In truth, I would really really love to have a Norse funeral.

Of course that's not gonna happen, so ... meh.

I haven't decided what I want done with my body, but I think I want to be buried somewhere nice. Being cremated just puts you in too many places at once...at least if I'm buried then I can haunt whatever place I'm buried at.

I imagine cemeteries to be big complexes where the dead reside, and being buried next to someone is like sharing an apartment wall with them.

Forget haunting places, I want my soul to move on to Valhalla.

If you leave your soul under my care you'll never die.

You will become pure evil however.

What happens to burial sites in the long run, after everyone that ever knew the deceased are not alive to remember or visit them anymore?

If everyone that ever lived took up a certain amount of space permanently, you'd eventually run out of space, right?

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

I think I've only heard of Native American burial grounds being built over, but I've also heard of cemeteries being moved, that is disinterring all the bodies to bury them somewhere that somebody doesn't want to build on.

Cultivation researchers have argued that ... messages of power, dominance, segregation, and victimization cultivate relatively restrictive and intolerant views regarding personal morality and freedoms ... and rights. Rather than stimulating aggression, cultivation theory contends that heavy exposure to television violence cultivates insecurity, mistrust, alienation, and a willingness to accept potentially repressive measures in the name of security.
—The Museum of Broadcast Communications

Interesting. So, apparently, simulated violence does have an effect, just not the one the Moral Guardians thought. And it makes sense. If there are any terms I'd use to describe the prevailing mood in America right now, those would be them.

So I watched a video on You Tube talking about the cost of university in America, and how for-profit universities (for-profits? Universities?!?!?!) are increasingly dodgy.

... How does? How do? How do...? How does... America like... not collapse under the sheer mass of... this? It feels uncomfortable to have a first-world country not provide affordable post-secondary education for their teens.

We it can go away. Just that number is so high you're usually in your mid 40s to late 50s before it's paid off.

Mind you, you can go to college without having to take out a loan. Me being the only son of a single mother I got a nice grant that paid for my college.

I dropped out but that's completely unrelated

Man.

I feel ever so lucky now. I only pay 9% of my income above £26 000 (so if I earn £27 000, I only pay £90 a year), and for thirty years. Granted, I have to pay interest of 5.5% + 1.5% inflation, meaning if I got a regular paying job straight out of university, I'll pay about £100 000 in 27 years.

... Shit, man.

It's funny when companies send advertising to my grandfather.

It isn't that I could definitely say he wouldn't be interested, but he has been dead for over twelve years now.
