WARNING: **** is gonna make you sick. No graphic pics in the link, but the story is gruesome.

Seriously, don't google any images of this. I'm still feeling nauseous from accidentally clicking a goddamn anonops picture of the dude on facebook. I guess it's just the knowledge that he looks like that because someone ATE HIS FACE OFF.

I think I'm sick again. I'm really squeamish about this.

yea, facebook and internet is blowing up with this story. Heard it myself recently.

Its not zombies until more than one crazy drug addict is infected. Much worse things happen every day.

[drenrin2120]

I'm quite aware of that, Ben. But eating someone's face. EATING SOMEONE'S FACE.

[Ben]

Google a history of cannibalism

[drenrin2120]

I'd rather not. Cannibalism is something I can't deal with.

Gotta love how people are all "omg governmental consperrazzy!". Are people really more willing to look for the most farfetched possible answer instead of facing simple truth these days? I mean, drugs are bad. And in this case, bath salt is bad. I still don't know how one would get high on it but it probably works.

Also faces getting eaten is kinda common among cannibalism. Lots of muscles in the face that aren't all too hard to get to.

I think most people are just kidding about the zombie thing. I mean, I really hope they are. And yeah, there are some terrifying drugs out there that'll **** you up. Some things I didn't even think were possible.

Also, just looked up bath salts and apparently its effects are similar to meth. Meth is... probably one of the most terrifying drugs I can think of.

EDIT: And ben... dear god, ben.

Ive done both of those drugs, and Ive never eaten a face...one time on meth I rearranged my house really poorly... I have done most drugs you can think of, and yeah...its not the drug you need to worry about. The drug itself is an easy outlet for the media to use to make you afraid of stepping out of line. The more I read into this, the more I realise that there are some pretty big facts being left out of the story here. Ill bet you any money that there is a history of something else at play here...mental Illness...an argument...but the whole thing will serve as a great mechanism to fuel the war on drugs, and keep it from being lost in useless obscurity.

Drugs are bad not because of what they are but rather what some people are capable of when using them. Just like alcohol. Some people get really violent under its effect, some gets loud, some gets depressed, some get speeded, some get paranoid, some pass out. Drugs are much the same, it's a question of who's using it.
There will be problem if you spend your life suppressing certain impulses and some sort of substance removes the blocks you've built up in a matter of seconds. And of course, how much you use the substance in question also affects the power it has.

A lot of people would be better of not taking drugs. But even more people would be better of leaving the bottle.

[Ben]

yeah, the long term effects of alcohol beat the snot out of most other drugs

Yeah... unfortunately, you're probably right and I've done a good job not thinking rationally about this and feeding into the fear mongering.

*Jumping in. I was actually just talking to my friends about this. If in the case of a Zombie Apocalypse, what are everybody's survival chances? I think I'll survive at least a day. I've had some survival and weapons training, and I always seem to point out the dumb ideas in the movies.
