And now for something completely different...

Caniballism is a perfectly natural occurence that happens quite often in nature. It is all about not letting perfectly good energy go to waste. Whether this makes it moral or not depends mostly on culture.

I am against battery farming but that is pretty much it. I eat meat, (although in smaller amounts as of late. No moral reason, i just seem to have lost the taste for it, really) and i consume dairy products. If meat weren't sold at stores anymore, it would not really affect me. What would affect me would be a ban of dairy products. I tend to buy free range milk and yoghurt (here, if you have your own bottles, it is just as cheap as the kind they sell in stores) and i buy cheeses that require their milk to originate from a cow that has seen more of the world than just a glimpse through a window or perhaps a slit on a livestock van.

That kind of reminds me of some of the crazier celtic battle strategies. Like taking off all your clothes and painting your naked body blue and going to battle that way. It's kind of the ultimate insult. "fuck you, i'm not afraid of you, and to prove it i'll leave my balls an open target for you."

It wasn't really a battle strategy so much as when Winter came around they would roll around being naked and such to prove how tough they were. Then battle shows up, and well, they're already naked, why bother?

The Celts were awesome. Don't listen to Roman Historians who say they were barbarians, the Romans didn't find all their torture and massacres barbaric - they found the fact that they did it in the names of their Gods to be barbaric!

Barbarism is a relative term. Most of the people Roman Historians dubbed "barbarians" had a very rich historic and cultural background along with well-defined societies and management systems were so awesome it made the historians jelly.

My suggestion to you would be that you go to a doctor, but since that's not an option, I'd say that you should calm down a little and possibly consult a psychologist.

Oh, and I have the polar opposite of Health anxiety. I never see my symptoms.

Dunno, I'd kind of preffer the crueler option...

But the Extend-o-Batons aren't designed to kill. Only incapacitate.

Which is kind of cruel when you think about how every Viking dreams of an honourable death in combat.

Things I have learned regarding a riot shield line:

They fight a lot like Roman Legionaires. You will not break them by charging. You will not break them by shooting, unless you go big dakka.

One good way to break a line of tustedo would be to use Elephants. The modern and superior equivalent would be a Forklift truck.

A single Viking in a forklift truck could decimate the entire line and break the police kettle, leaving plenty of space for more Vikings to rush through. The fight would be over soon as the wall faltered and the cumbersome shields met axe and spear.

So the question is, did the Vikings historically use Forklifts in battle?

As the battle of Stamford Bridge shows, yes. It is why Harold Godwinson attacked the Vikings first instead of the Normans. He feared that would the Vikings successfully employ their Forklift trucks, all would be lost. So he rushed North to make sure they would not survive preparations. Attacking before the Vikings could employ their Forklift trucks was a brilliant strategical move, and knowing confusion defeat, Harold Hardrada ordered the Vikings to destroy the few surviving trucks; a devastating blow to Harold Godwinson who wished to use them against the Normans. Viking Forklift trucks would never be seen again as heavy infantry fell from the spotlight of conventional warfare.

Vikings: 1
Riot police: 0
Saxons: Sour
Normans: Stole their kill LOL

this reads like a script for a Monty Python sketch.
