Some toad has been analysing why people like the concept of Zombies, I call the conclusion drivel simply because I cannot use a stronger word on here :D

I find the concept of Zombies fun (as long as it is a concept) and also for me Zombies is part of the survival in a landscape full of dangers, preferably with a gun/knife/survival kit. In my next life I will be Lara Croft. Boobs and all. :lol:

Nothing wrong with that, if I had the space I would build a survival shelter. I don't. If I had the space I would have my own shooting range. I don't. However I can dream, can't I O:-)
I do not like these things because I live in a society that is struggling financially :G

....drivel...

BTW I really like what Sandgroper is writing these day....Prepare, Be Zombie Aware. :clap:

Aw, shucks. :oops:

I agree it is drivel. Deep down I'm a survivalist at heart :shock: , but I think it's more than leftovers from growing up in during the cold war. It feels more like a desire to be free and self sufficient - to the extent of being ungovernable* and the zombie apocalypse senario provides that.

* Ungovernable - So self sufficient that the Govt does not provide you with anything - therefore being unable to govern you. :good:

I agree. :good:

Prepare - Be Zombie Aware :twisted: may well end up on my Forum Hoodie!

It might not be everyones cup of tea, but it keeps me (and others) amused! :lol:

I always thought zombies were originally created as a metaphor for communists :-P These days theres so many 'mind control' groups/propagandists you're hard pushed not to be a 'zombie' yourself! :?
