		<description>Have you read the Zombie Survival Guide (book)?

Don&#039;t.

Nightmares for weeks. Weeks, I tell you. It has all these stories about &#039;real&#039; zombies and I can&#039;t tell whether they&#039;re true or supposed to be funny to people who aren&#039;t terrified of zombies.

So I&#039;d read your guide, but only if you promise not to do that. And I&#039;ll have to read it on a day when I know I&#039;m not going to be left alone for at least a week afterwards. I may also have to be armed with a screwdriver. And a machete. And a 5.56 semi-automatic rifle. I also need to be upstairs (and no suggesting that zombies can go upstairs!!!!) and enough food to last several years. Oh, and a two-way transmitter. 

I&#039;ll probably still have nightmares.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;117&quot;&gt;The Republicans mainly thing universal health care is a bad idea.  God forbid everyone got what they needed in life.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;d be, like, unforgivable because then people wouldn&#039;t have to work for anything. We all know that all of those Republicans born into wealthy families never had anything &lt;em&gt;handed&lt;/em&gt; to them. That&#039;d be ridiculous, clearly.

&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;120&quot;&gt;Might I suggest this survival guide:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Survival-Guide-Complete-Protection/dp/1400049628&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;amazon.com/Zombie-Survival-Guide-Complete-Prote...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Dude, I am so adding this to my wishlist. I &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; this book.

&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;121&quot;&gt;LOL @ the Texas Chainsaw Massacre comment you wrote, V. Seriously, if that happened to me and the girl said we were going to die and that we were going the wrong way, I would turn the fuck around!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There&#039;s no excuse not to do so! Other than they were very, very high. Which is probably rule #1 of what &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; to do when you&#039;re in a horror movie.

&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;124&quot;&gt;I still do not understand why Americans tend to think universal health insurance is a bad thing. I mean, wow, how explicitly evil can a person be? Like, I&#039;m sure those millions of poor families living just in this country feel the same way about private health care as you do, you mansion-living, Bentley-driving, ugh. I&#039;m okay.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I know some people who think that rich people should have to pay for their health care and there&#039;s two reasons why that&#039;s a fucking terrible idea:

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They could buy better health care than everyone else, like they do.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rich people pay taxes too!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Hence, they&#039;d be paying for their own health care via taxes. Don&#039;t think they&#039;re paying enough? &lt;em&gt;Don&#039;t give them tax breaks because they&#039;re rich&lt;/em&gt;--they can afford it! Give more tax breaks to the poor.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

I think the main reason why health care will never be completely available to everyone is &lt;strong&gt;money&lt;/strong&gt;. Doctors won&#039;t be able to make six figures easy if true universal health care is enacted. Cry me a river. Become a doctor if you want to take care of patients, not just because you want to be superrich.

The one thing I can see is that med school is really effing expensive here along with all other universities. After universal health care we need free or massively reduced tuition fees. People can&#039;t get an education if they can&#039;t afford it. The government giving you US$1,500 will not make a dent in your US$45,000 per year tuition and that&#039;s not even including room, board, books, transportation, and other costs.

&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;124&quot;&gt;I&#039;m training to be a ninja one day just in case anything happens. Wouldn&#039;t that be awesome though?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ninjas are awesome. :D I&#039;d make an awesome ninja and one ninja could clearly pwn hundreds of zombies.

&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;128&quot;&gt;If there&#039;s a Zombie attack I&#039;m going to barricade my home. Then put Shaun of the Dead on TV so I sufficiently creep myself out. Perhaps with a knife by my side as well... to chop off their heads. Effective, I&#039;m sure! :P&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What you need, my dear, is a &lt;em&gt;Buffy the Vampire Slayer&lt;/em&gt;-esque axe. One of the huge ones where in one easy slice, multiple zombies are dead. And they&#039;re shiny. :D</description>

		<description>Good luck with finding a job. I have little work experience  and so I&#039;d like to delay real world for as long as possible.
