Not trying to turn this into a serious discussion (honestly, I'm not... that would be far too much internet for me) but I can't help myself! Max Brooks actually outlines a great deal of ideas on why firearms are a bad idea, and in a hypothetical world where zombies exist I tend to agree! A summary:
- Firearms do require training, especially because you need a perfect headshot. Not the jaw, ear, cheeks but smack in between the eyes of a moving target. I know they only move, for the sake of argument, at shuffle speed and that doesn't sound like much. But think of the inconsistent movement that goes along with broken bones, lost limbs and general decay on some of the zombies. It gets harder especially because your untrained body is going to be shaking, trembling (urinating? who knows!) and your heart-rate is going to be 160 at the sight of a moaning, moving corpse. It gets better when you miss a few shots, or hit the jaw and they keep moving in on you while you have to reload and regain your composure to take the next shot. In short; honestly, it's not going to be as easy as you think to pop off consistant headshots while reloading, dropping shells, missing, etc. Think about it
- Distance has nothing to do with it! In fact, you're contradicting yourself. If you're far enough to not get bitten you have no need to engage the zombies in the first place. Just walk away at a decent pace. You'll just attract more rotting friends with the sound you're making if you start going rock 'n roll with guns. Effectively you only want to engage when you need to; hit them hard enough to make them stagger/fall over and run past. Plan your routes way ahead and you won't get into any trouble. Stay in open spaces with plenty of room to run around.
- The idea isn't that you have to go fight off hordes of zombies like it's left4dead. You want to stay safe and get away. Firearms are not great for that because of the points listed over there -^
- Did I mention World War Z is a great book? It's nerdgastic on zombie-theory.
pretty sure LSD is just that, LSD...how can it be "new" if its already been synthesized?
"'What's happening is whenever we see that a person has taken all of his clothes off and has become violent, it’s indicative of this excited delirium that's caused by overdose of drugs.
'What's happening is inside their body their organs are burning up alive.'"
Funny, considering you can't actually overdose on LSD...let alone its not like amphetamines where it causes your body temp to rise.
The drug he was taking is called "Bath Salts", it has some of the affects of acid, but it's (apparently) a synthetic drug made from amphetamine like chemicals and really ****s you up.
It clearly wasn't acid he was taking, acid would have pretty much the opposite effect. Where are you getting the LSD info from anyway? Everything I've seen has this Bath Salts shit.
O.o bath salts was in dr. OZ also, even a 10-year old can buy them from store...That shit fu*ks a brain completely up and the worst part is that it's effect won't disappear also, just can't have like: "oh i go and sleep it away" .
^Actually, you can...Most of the time people with drug induced psychosis return back to normal after hours, but continue to feel "odd" for weeks, or even months.(Some say its kind of a "3rd person" feeling)
Early reports were saying it was a potent new "LSD"
And yep, i know all about MDPV/Mephedrone
have had 200mg of mephedrone before, not the best high but i certainly did go around eating peoples faces lol
that being said, research chemicals are bad news...
was talking about bath salts, not drugs in general, bath salts paranoia/halluciations/suicidialism(? ) tends to last days.
" "The longest I heard was someone who was sedated for 12 days and the psychosis came right back," Ryan said. "The huge concern is the possibility that some of these effects could be permanent. We don't know because we've never tested it on humans."
At least with older drugs, sedation works and the patient returns to "normal," at least until they hit the streets again."
I've had a go of the mephedrone shit about a year ago while it was still easy to get, was horrible to snort but it had a slightly similar affect to MDMA. This Bath Salts shit is more than that though, I never had any trips while taking it, certainly nowhere near an acid trip.
