can i do taboo?...please. Euthanasia the Permaculture Way

[kimbo.parker]

[group slap]

is it because you are untrained and unqualified that you designers can not keep a focus on the brief?
is it because you are scared of the brief, out of your depth?

the brief was clear on the clients wishes.

no one is addressing the frgn design brief!!!
if you do not want to play, fine.

but your current participation in a serious thread is dooming it to fail.....mostly mods i note.

screening shit again?

i post and you guys screen my post with fluff because it is not in line with your take on things.....
not a good look, not subtle, stand out obvious twist at veto and censorship.
perma pulp facisism for the perma facist - fire with fire?...............

disrespect from the hierarchical top.

i am getting that oppressed feeling again.

Ok - true to the spirit of the post and the permaculture way - I need more information and seeing as I can't pop over to observe directly - you'll need to answer some questions.

With respect to the forementioned euthanasia - does one have a preference for speed and method? Most things that I can think of would be slow and not possibly such a pleasant experience.

Like tying you up on the ground over a new bamboo shoot and leaving you there until it grew up through you and pierced your heart, thereby spilling your life blood on the plant and eventually adding your body to the mulch under the plant. That might take a few weeks. At some point on about the 3rd day I'd reckon you might change your mind about euthanasia.

Lying on top of the worm farm could take a VERY long time to do you in.

Ritual disembowelment whilst standing in the banana circle would be quicker. But messy still.

A scuba diving friend of mine plans to go and sit at the bottom of a very deep ocean trench - sufficient to get narked so it isn't unpleasant, and wait for her tank to run out. It's not very permaculture though - you need a fair bit of technology to get you down there, and your gear would pollute the environment after the fishes finished with your body.

Putting you out on a rock at sunset with a raw steak tied to you in the hope that the dingos finished you off before sunrise?

Anything appeal yet? (this is creepy....)

the client has answered all this in the brief!

it must be quick,,,,no space to think 'am i dead yet?'

in permaculture echo, we get things called design briefs - a staged documentation procedure.
i did not set priorities in the brief,,,,,it was a quick intellectual exercise.

i can not believe this is not strategy to shit me -
it has worked, i will not be back to this thread.

Nah, it's because it's half way between xmas and NY, I've had a hard year and I was more interested in the tangents than the actual brief. You're asking us to work during the holidays. I did find the brief quite interesting, but didn't get very far. I've thought about poison from plants before and would probably go for something low tech like that rather than explosives. Probably wouldn't fit the fast imperative though.
