So have any of you ever thought about what you would do if you survived the first days of panic in a zombie apocalypse? I have had fun thinking about it and at one point I came across a really deep question while watching The Walking Dead. Are you allowed to shoot someone on sight if everyone you have met so far has done it to you? I mean you can't know what is this particular persons plan, but you can pretty safely assume he is going to try to kill you like everyone else. Would you have the moral duty to take your chances, or are you allowed to kill him? It is easy to say that it is "either him or me", but you can't be sure about it. What if you have kids or a loved one with you? Does killing someone to protect your family from POTENTIAL danger make you a bad person? I know that many people would just shut these questions out during an outbreak but I want to really think about it. This fits to almost any disaster scenario where chaos breaks out. Are you allowed to do whatever it takes to survive in a life threatening situation? Who are the most valuable people? Are everyone equally valuable, so if your kids are in potential danger you are still not allowed to take aggressive action? I have always had a very strict NO to this question, but I want to hear your opinion as well! "In this life now, you kill or you die... Or you die and you kill." -Philip Blake Markus FIN

I might be a little behind the 8-ball when it comes to horror movies. Has anyone else here seen The Lords of Salem? ​I was quite surprised to hear Stefans' podcast being used at the beginning (about 5 seconds worth)- it really helped set the mood for the rest of the film.
