Nextmanup Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 It's interesting that they have developed that custom, because it's fundamentally a bad idea and should lead to people getting sick. Most time-honored human rituals are rooted in common sense. Digging up dead people and playing around with them isn't really a great idea. 1 Quote

Greg S Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 I just hope they are wearing their masks and got their vaccine shots. Their health could be in trouble if they catch the virus. 1 1 Quote

LeGOATski Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 "The bizarre tradition had started centuries ago when an animal hunter had found a decaying corpse but dressed him in his shirt and gave him a proper burial." Wtf...they did the exact opposite of that. How about you just continue to give proper burials.... Quote
