... swords to chop off their own heads. And that just encourages a culture where you'd be willing to kill everyone you know, for the slightest reason. Also, I'd like to give the zombies philosophy and the ability to argue. Give them culture. Progress. Let them watch us, and compete with us. That's what fights off entropy.

... And women who watch porn are submitting to the objectification of themselves. My other friend agreed with her. I mostly bit my tongue but I wanted to shake them and say, "What kind of liberals are you?!" I just...boggled.
