<<Ahh, so in Tee's world, a funeral isn't in any way an act of mourning or showing respect to a life that has been lost. It's some bizarre act of..........mental imbalance apparently.>>
A funeral is a ritual, sirs. In the hundreds of funerals that I have attended personally, not one was concerned with showing "respect" to the life of a fetus. Are you fucking insane? What life did the fetus have, actually?
Most funerals reunite the people who knew the deceased. They get together and remember him or her collectively, console the mourners for the loss of their companion in life and pray for the soul of the departed. As I've said, not a single one of my relatives, friends or business acquaintances have ever seen fit to conduct a funeral for a fetus. That is the weirdest fucking thing I could imagine or anyone else that I know could imagine.
I guess one of the benefits of a group like this is that it brings me into contact with some of the weirdest individuals on this planet, people whom I would never encounter in real life, and I have to tell you sirs, you are one of them - - and I'm not saying that in complaint, more in wonder than anything else. If I mentioned to anyone I know that I know a guy who has been to funerals for fetuses, I am positive I would get reactions ranging all the way from "You're putting me on" to "That is REALLY sick."
But hey, whatever turns their crank. What's next, birthday parties for fetuses to mark their first trimester, second trimester, etc.? Photo albums of their ultrasounds?
