and unlike some creatures that the chinese eat, humans aren't endangered. Why is it OK to eat tigers, which are almost extinct, and not OK to eat humans, when there's so many of the the world is creaking under the strain?

Wrong and wrong. humans are not natural prey for tigers, and tigers are not natural food for humans.

then why would lions get extinct when it is not normal?

you mean tigers. They get extinct because people kill them for sport, fur and meat, or groundless beliefs. China has already hunted one of their two subspecies of tiger to extinction, thanks in no small part to chairman Mao, who declared them pests and had them wiped out. the problem is not tigers randomly attacking humans, but humans enroaching onto tiger's territory. China's complete lack of effective population control and disregard for the natural environment compounds the situation.

Royalty as a sort of celebrity, but having little or no power? That's comforting in a way, but that Prince William is something alright, putting first public service above his own, that's so Chivalric, ofcourse a lot of people nowadays think that chivalry is dead & people who still adhere to it are Romantics (the Philosophical meaning of it, that is)As for eating anything not usually eaten, yes hunger & poverty can drive people to eat anything. There was this documentary where people ate tree worms & house/sewer rats (field mice, the ones found in rice paddies are "clean" & edible, in a way) because they had no money to buy "regular" food, so they make do. Also, some eat meat that is tainted, or "double dead" (meat from livestock that died from sickness, but was still butchered & sold at market, this is against the law though), or meat that had gone stale, or the most disgusting of all, food from dustbins or left over food from fast foods & restaurants! :PAs for that ditti from Japan, that's totally insane, the one from India is something based on their faith, but I think they only eat the ashes & they mix it & some of the dead person's blood onto a meal/dish of some sort.

It was Prince Harry that put his public service first, however his elder brother William is like minded, although less prone to going binge drinking.

Loonyliondepends on the country, some countries are still run by a monarchy.I think Monarchy is the best way to go, because the King/Queen have to care about the country, as if the country were his/her own family, and you ahve to mak respectable decisions that everyone can follow, and still be in order, and act as the head, but the people alse need to respect you also.

Cahos Rahne Veloza · #28nah they injest flesh as well, it was on nat geonot really most monarchies become corrupt in the long run which leads to a revolt that either kills the whole royal family or strips them of their power over people :p that's why there aren't really any pure monarchy ruled states anymore
As for that ditti from Japan, that's totally insane, the one from India is something based on their faith, but I think they only eat the ashes & they mix it & some of the dead person's blood onto a meal/dish of some sort.

Ever watched the one where they leave their dead on a secred mountain & let the vultures & other wild animals eat the corpses? Now that's unique, they're not disrespecting the dead ofcourse, it's just part of their culture

well, it states here that the people eat foetus for dinner, is that an instinct of survival I prefer to plant kamote (sweet potatoes ) in my backyard or maybe throw a sayote in a piece of land so when they grow I would have something to eathttp://www.geocities.com/orthopapism/anthropophagy3.html

no, it is a cultural trait, just like eating tigers is.

@clyffe: Sayote (pronounced Sah - Yo -Teh), in English is Mirlitons@loony: Or like The Inuits (I hope I spelled it correctly) eating seal meat or us (Filipinos) eating dog meat, something unique to one's culture

There's a tribe in Papua New Guinea who are admitted Cannibals & here in the Philippines, somewhere on the Visayas Islands are tribes who are also, Cannibals, they go to Manila & lure unsuspecting people to go on a vacation in their province, only to be served as a main dish on an annual Cannibalistic Cultural event :o
