Fair point about lack of space in Singapore, but the USA is not exactly short of building space [img]tongue.gif[/img] it should be able to find some spare space in its 9.3 million square km [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Does it matter, you'll be dead anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yea, I agree with Vaskez, there's a lot of elbow room especially out in central western America, it's just a lot of 'in the middle of nowhere' land to build on.

If we keep burying people we'll run out of room. How much valuable realestate is used for storing the bodies of people who have been dead for decades and in some cases centuries. If you have to bury a family member do it in the backyard. I could care less what happens to my body when I'm gone.

There are people that are very religious, so burying a relative in their backyard would be extremely insulting to them...

You could care less? So you care significantly about it?

It's called having consideration for those that have just died. I don't think family or the dead would appreciate it if you just threw them in a hole and used a dog house to cover it up in the back yard.

Dumb, as in: Ignorant and disrespectful of the native spiritual beliefs concerning the dead and buried? People can be very dumb.
