This is Scamerica!

What isnt?

Yeah but is it really a conspiracy? Anyone can see that it's a scam just like wedding planning.

In a way, I'd say it is. A money making conspiracy. From the top down everybody involved is protecting each other's pocket book.

You even have to buy a special expensive permit to just dig a hole and bury your body in the ground so it can decay naturally. You know, because a piece of paper will protect the groundwater, and keep your diseased body from leaching out into the soil. Those permits are issued by the local governing bodies as well, and are nearly impossible to obtain.

capitalism is a scam. The idea is that everyone scams everyone and so money isn't supposed to accumulate.

Honestly, I'm probably going to donate my body to the bodyworlds exhibit with the stipulation you put ne in a crazy pose forever.

Are you American or living in a first world country? How can you enter any grocery store and say you hate capitalism? The reason we have so many choices for food and clothing is because of capitalism, because capitalism promotes a variety of competition.

Is this the trend these days? To just bash capitalism, because you've made bad choices in life and you can't find a decent job? So you're just going to blame the whole concept of capitalism and LET'S BRING ON COMMUNISM EVERYONE!!

I've never seen boats full of people trying so desperately to get to Cuba or North Korea. Yeah, I heard they were having a grand old time in North Korea, not starving and all. Last time I heard it was the other way around, people are trying to defect to Western capitalist countries.

Stupid liberals like you shouting for the end of capitalism are dangerous. Too stupid to realize how serious your words are.

I came from a really poor country, my famiky broke their backs working and studying coming over here. Even in the shittiest economy the United States is still a good country to live in. There are amazing opportunities for us to succeed. In some countries there is no concept of scholarship for schools. College is not a privilege, it's so poor in some countries, that even food is not a basic human right.

The concept that we can go to any school in this country if we work hard is the definition of equal opportunity. I was never barred from applying to Princeton because I wasn't from old money, or I was from a different social class.

Get real. You don't know shit about poverty or suffering. Where so privileged in this country that you're so blind to see it.

You must be from poverty and must be american because you are heavily brain damaged.

There is nothing you can tell me to the contrary. Capitalism is a scam. The evidence are the endless monopolies, skyrocketing CEO earnings, political coercion in order to further business dealings, etc. Not to mention the fucking atrocious state americas healthcare and education is in.

Its people like you that keep us on the treadmill of bullshit. Keep working for your 7.50/hr there bud. And when you get hurt or sick, enjoy your 15k medical bills, or 10k deductible on your medical insurance you dumb fuck.

I either want a Viking funeral or be buried without a coffin and have a tree planted over me.

Lol duh. Anyone who has done any funeral planning can see how much of a scam it is. Those people are some of the most passive aggressive salesmen I've ever met and the whole thing reeks of markup from the top down. I'd trust a used car salesman more than someone who sells for a funeral home. At least used car salesmen don't purposefully exploit your emotions and grief to line their pockets. They just exploit your ignorance of cars and lack of confidence.

Nope, rip out my organs and then burn my ass. Then just scatter me somewhere neat and move on with your life. Modern funerals are just another exercise in human arrogance. Fuck you and your funeral procession shutting down traffic in the middle of the day. Fuck you taking a stretch escalade limo to a funeral. Fuck you for thinking the world needs to grind to a halt because your fucking cousin got shot in the mouth. Enjoy getting fleeced harder than all the sheep in New Zealand.

anyone has watched six fett under knows this

You should make a will that is a copy and paste of this. If you don't, your family still might "feel" like having one for you when you die.

I knew someone that didn't want a funeral, when they died the family said "so what, we want to grieve and celebrate their life." I didn't go because I thought it would upset their... Ghost?

You should just have a lawyer read that aloud for your family. It would at least make the lawyers day!

My family knows about my wishes and thankfully has already agreed to respect them if for some reason they outlive me. That said, I'll be drawing up a will in the next few years and it will likely be pretty much word for word as I described it while still being legally binding.
