Yeah its really sad to see them go, I always chear for them. I have never once got what I wanted though.

Edit: I do have one question in all the latest horror movies, why so many girls are the only one to survive? Why can't they all fucking die ? That's a happy ending, well to me it is anyways!

Gross. I hate whores, cinematic and real. They gross me out. I'm afraid if one crosses their legs some possessed ooze will like... shoot out and.... TMI

Sorry I didn't mean whores, just the actresses. The whores I agree with you, they can die, I will cheer for that. But every girl I would like to see survive ends up dead, and the weakest/dorkiest seems to defeat the killer!

That's how it goes. People who think logically always make it. People who think "Oh i'm tough or hott so i'll live" always die. Kindof in the genre of "Never underestimate your opponent"

i think the over confident go first, like in CLICHE' ...oh ah i mean CUBE

Okk. time for you to shut the fuck up again and stop screwing with my thread, bye now. Have fun with your cubes and other geometric garbage.

I would survive a zombie attack....

Well you don't bleed real blood or anything remember?:)

sound confident

My wrists don't bleed and if it's a nice sized mark, I don't bleed. But I do bleed.

Haha, i'm just nostalgifying...ing about when people could make jokes around here and stuff. Cough

ok just don't queef while doing it

who the fuck are you ?

Creator of the cube.

So, I didn't bother to read this entire thread...I'm just too cool for that shit:cool: but anyway:
I read The Zombie War so I think I would do what alot of people did in that book...hole myself up in the colder climes and wait until the bastards froze solid and then take an axe to as many as I could find.


Edit:
Oh and if my response is completely off-topic, Sorry-I'll try to actually read it next time, I promise.

It was fine. Good idea, but I can't stand the cold.

So you survived the apocalypse. Now what?
 

So I saw a pretty abysmal post apocalyptic movie the other night (Tooth and Nail), which, despite its short-comings got me to thinking about what I would do if I survived the apocalypse.

NOTE: Not how to survive the apocalypse, because I haven't come up with a solid answer for that one (SO tempted to climb a water tower to avoid the onslaught of zombies... but I think that that might come back as a bad decision).

In Tooth and Nail there were two distinct groups (which you also see in most post-apocalyptic mythos films like Road Warrior or Children of Men), which can be generalized as such:

• Fulfilling the social contract - By fulfilling the social contract your aims are fairly altruistic and more interested in Humankind's progression as a WHOLE. You either lead or become part of a group of people trying to reconstruct a semblance of society. Surrogate nuclear family is created.
• Becoming part of or THE Leviathan - You take full advantage of the lack of penal rule to propagate anarchist society. The perfect primal example of true freedom (freedom to steal, rape, pillage, kill). This is more about surviving, this is also about megalomaniac narcissism and control. Being able to act without legal or social repercussions (take that as you will).

OR

• Fuck the groups. You're a loner. - Not necessarily fighting the good fight against the Leviathan and not necessarily being part of the social contract... You just survive as and for... you.

Of course, these are generalizations and may be edited/changed to whatever you would like.

Also, feel free to choose your own apocalypse (Zombie, Disease, Starvation, War) as that might affect your answer.


The point is: What would you do if you survived the apocalypse?

That would depend if my family survived with me. If they did I would fall into the first group....Fulfilling the social contract.

If not then most def I would go the loner route.

I know what the social contract would entail, fuck that I'm part of the leviathan.

I have no faith in the powers that be and have already made contingencies for an apocalyptic situation.

I'm a "loner" but with a huge family contingency plan.

A good house in a small valley surrounded by tall mountains that could keep both radioactive fallout and an army of the undead at bay. We have food stores and a local lake that not only provides fish, but the rising humidity helps keep the radiation levels low,

I'd take advantage of all the recent widows

I definitely agree... The problem that I have with fulfilling the social contract is the question why are we doing this? Usually fulfilling the social contract follows one or both of the following aims:

• Furthering the human race
• Saving your family

Honestly, I have very little interest in furthering the human race... If I survived the apocalypse, I would be WAY more concerned with keeping myself alive... Humankind is not my responsibility.

However, if my immediate family survived, I would have obligations to them, but no one else...

The way I see it, unless I have a particular bond with any of the survivors (ie familial or very personal bond), then they're not my responsibility. If you gather food... You have to gather food for everyone, not just yourself.

Not to mention... Regardless of the nature of the group that you're in, there will have to be a Leader. The Leader in the Leviathan would triumph as being strong and keeping the rest of the group in awe (unless someone struck up against them or there was a mutiny). The Leader in the Social Contract, however, would have to be a Leader based more on mutual respect and/or adoration of the group... That, to me, sounds more like being part of a Cult. I would prefer to be ruled by fear.

So, essentially, if I had no family to worry about, I would definitely be a Loner (most likely of amoral leaning) if not on the outskirts of the Leviathan. I definitely agree with Newb and Rod.

I'm not sure where I'd hole up... Probably in some sort of solid structure... Very few windows and fairly impenetrable... Maybe a prison. Then again, if the apocalypse was radiation-driven, that doesn't really help.

Talk about coincidence!
Eerie man, eerie.
Fuck The Groups

Me and my daughters were talking about this as I drove them to school this morning.

We decided if the right series of events happened, the world of technology and Roads could collapse in a month.

We agreed that food procuring would be no.1
In the beginning, just getting whatever we can get our hands on, then learning to grow and cultivate food.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know thing one about growing veggies.
Followed by fresh water.
3.)Protection from the elements.
4.)Protection of ourselves and what we have.
5.)Building or obtaining new forms of energy i.e. Solar, Wind, etc.



We came to the conclusion that after 10 years we would possibly have a better world, or at the very least healthier because of the fact that we would have no cars to drive our fat asses around and their wouldn't be anymore processed food.
And we would be able to just shoot the assholes or the dangerous because of marshal law:D

For me it would all be about survival.Taking care of myself and no one else.I might band a samll group together but no big gathering of people.Just a few stragglers that I find along the way.

First you gotta have weapons and shelter.

After you have a place secured then you have to find a food source.Whether it be hunting or growing your own food.

Fresh water would be next.

Then you just sit back and wait to see what happens next.

I kind of wish something like that would happen so thw world could have a fresh start.

If I was a levithan then the family would try and kill me, if I was in the family I'd have more protection but might be expected to fight to the death, so I'd probably be a loner.

Here's a pickle:-

What if you and your family are the only survivors left on the earth?

Q: Repopulate?

:confused: :eek: :confused:

thats gross... but aint it what some christians believe started humans anyway from just 2 people?


if i was only survivor of my family id go it alone


tho in all honesty if the apocalypse came i really think id die.

I might turn to cannibalism...

Only if you live in Kentucky. :D

hahahaha...

So what's so great about perpetuating the population anyway?

My main concern about being a female after the apocalypse is that it would be expected that I breed.

*shudder*

I'd go the loner route. Any company is going to get in the way, and it's better that way too, so if you get killed, it won't be in front of anyone who cares.

Be sure to stock up on ammunition and only travel by day. Most say night, but I'd be on the move in the day so I could see whats coming. Not to mention, if they are classic zombies, they aren't fast, so it would be easy to run away quickly.

Also, take at most a handgun and maybe one larger one such as a shotgun. I would also, if possible, find a good all-terrain vehichle so that I could move around quickly.

I like to envision myself with a large knife or machete. Good idea with the all-terrain. My knee-high combat boots can only get me so far...

...

I just had a thought... If it turns out that it's a funny apocalypse, I think I would like my theme song to be "Road to Nowhere" by the Talking Heads.

Music video on YouTube.

I'd take the loner Path, whether my family came with me... that would be up to them.

It seems like we have a lot of Loners here... Where were you all when Mad Max needed your vote in the revenge tournament!

I think I'd be more likely to survive in a group that looked out for one another.

if ya like pork... supposedly what human flesh is meant to taste like

I thought it was more like chicken... That's just what I have heard.

overly salty pork

Yeah, that's what I hear.

Mmmmmm... salty pork...

That's why cannibals will call their food "long pork."

I would have absolutely NO qualms with resorting to cannibalism. Honestly. If you let your guard down low enough to get eaten... You probably deserved it.

Exactly......

But what would go with the meat! What would stop it from being dry?!
