From a March 6, 2001, transcript of an online chat between Bernd-Jürgen Brandes (cator99) and Armin Meiwes (antrophagus): cator99: I’m in telecommunications antrophagus: Oh, that sounds interesting cator99: I believe you ... antrophagus: It’s only a few days until March 9 cator99: Still, I would have rather met you yesterday and felt your teeth antrophagus: One can’t have everything. There’s still some time before you really feel my teeth
From the archive: In all his speeches, John McCain urges Americans to make sacrifices for a country that is both “an idea and a cause”. He is not asking them to suffer anything he would not suffer himself. But many voters would rather not suffer at all.
More on suffering: In the 21st century, we "shy away from death," and we tend to think of a good death as a sudden one. Not so in the 19th century. Dying well meant having time to assess your spiritual state and say goodbye -- which is difficult to do if you're killed in battle.
Continuing: According to one who was present, Churchill suddenly blurted out: "Are we animals? Are we taking this too far?"
Bush: first of all, we have said that whatever we do ... will be legal.
