Maybe it was like Algebra humor or something. I never understood THAT stuff either. :blink:

The zombie apocalypse is a metaphor for the parasite class, and a venting at what should be done with them. Zombies produce nothing, consume everything in sight and destroy what they touch. Sound familiar?

Hello Mineralman and Welcome... :welcome:


Quite a first post ya got there and yes, I can see the relationship however, I will skip any details as how we even MIGHT define the "parasite class" as that could take us WAY beyond the realm of a "humor" type thread and we can ALL picture in our minds what this would be.

I DO understand and I am sure everyone else does as well but wow, we are certainly delving deeper than I had originally hoped.

Me, Oh, I'm fine, had a pretty good day at work. You? :)

Oh...You must be part of that 99% I keep reading about.:laugh:

It's in our nature to de-humanize an adversary, real or perceived, as a way to make dealing with them easier. Just from the American perspective we have this:

Germans - Krauts, Schnitzelheads, Huns, Herms

Orientals - Japs, Chinks, Slants, Zips, Gooks, Slopes, Bucketheads, Dinks

Russians - Ivans, Commies, Popovs

Arabs - Ragheads, Hajis, Muj

Just to name a few national/ethnic groups.

And for the record, IMO, the great zombie apocolypse will last about 8 minutes - 10 minutes, tops - in the United States.

Dehumanizing our "adversaries" doesn't apply. Zombies aren't humans.

No offence was taken, and it was funny. I agree with Sis that both parties cannot be trusted because big business now has there hooks in them both. My motto is don't drink anyones Koolaid. Drink fine Scotch!!!
