The body mod Thread

Well, but that's Odin. Being high chief came with extra benefits. :cool:

Personally, I think it was just easier to cry out for Odin when you couldn't remember whichever god it was you were really supposed to call out to.

Couldn't it be easier to call out to thor? He was, after all, the common people revered thor, were-as the noles and raiders were more fond of Odin.

And Thor was HISTORICALLY the head god until he was replaced with Odin.

And I'm CANADIAN. Ever call me american again and I will find your street adress, tear off your testicles, and teach you the definition of "skull fuck".
 
Did anyone else here know that not only warriors got into Valhalla but also women who died during childbirth? The Norse people thought that was just as brave and mighty death as by ax... And I agree.

What are they going to do during ragnarok? Hit the giants with rolling pins?
 
There's nothing "brave" about child birth. You don't really have a choice if you're pregnant and intend to have a baby. Dying during it doesn't make it any more brave. Going into battle is a choice in (nearly) every sense of the word, and dying is inevitable for a large percentage.

Explain to me how dying in child birth is a brave act.

Right, because getting pregnant isn't a choice. I'm glad they made such a brilliant person a mod.
 
I'm going to agree with Sus on this one. If bravery is the state of being invulnerable to fear or intimidation, then to bravely give birth to a child would mean to not fear pain, or any of the other shit that comes with it.

Good post, but expect for Nec to still argue about it.

As we all know, they say the pain of childbirth is one of the worst pains imaginable.. But that you can ride them in such a way as to make them somewhat bearable... I wouldn't know though, yet.

I'm one of those hippies that isn't going to use drugs. =P

Childbirth also entails a loss of control in your body---- the baby is going to come out whether you want it to or not, but you still have control over your mind and your actions in terms of how well you cope with it. Dying during an arduous childbirth I think is one of the bravest and most tragic things that could happen to anyone..

I am a firm believer in getting down on all fours, grunting and screaming like a pig and getting that baby out as best you can------hopefully without tearing yourself. =)
