Whoa, you can't claim that Russians as a whole will do anything. That's reducing millions of people down to a single stereotype.
Do you find this valuable?

"Whoa, you can't claim that Russians as a whole will do anything. That's reducing millions of people down to a single stereotype."The Russian military is the last group, with the exception of code pink, that you would want to rescue you in a hostage situation. I can claim that beyond a shadow of a doubt. No other nation capable of mounting such a "rescue" mission would consider a 75% mortality rate amogst the hostages to be a success. I have a Marine Corps MOS of Security Forces and was a member of the first F.A.S.T. to be trained and deployed in 1987. I have a pretty good knowledge of hostage rescue and no one in the world but the Russians would have considered that operation a success. Do you find this valuable? |

"What about the zombies from land of the dead? They demonstrated the ability to learn and concern for others of their own kind. They even mimicked actions from their lives when they were once alive. They too demonstrated high levels of cognitive function. They even figured out that they didn't need to breathe so that they could travel under the river to reach the humans. These zombies come from the genre of the typical zombie. Hell, they were created by the master of zombies George Romero.i can anser that VOODOO zombies, that zombie in that movie can feel emothions real zombies dont give a danm Do you find this valuable? |

"I had an interesting thought a while ago. The premise of a zombie is that it is undead -- or being biologically dead, but behaving physically as a living organism."No, the defining characteristic of a zombie is killing humans to eat them, regardless of their state. Do you find this valuable? |

This is a very debateable issue. It really goes down to "Do zombies need to feed off of their kill in order to be zombies?" I feel that even if something does not feed, if it is snarling and trying to kill me it is a zombie(Speaking of humans of course)

I think it was a virus that induced rage and brought out our most primitive instincts, and what is more primitive than biting? Since they could be killed anyway a regular person could they must have been alive. Maybe a hybrid type of being but they were alive and capable of basic thought.

So spetznaz goes in and places cemtex on the door to blast and clear: well the retard put soo much friggin cemtex he collapsed the entire south wall causing like 15 civilians to die and so the rebels killed a bunch of hostages!

No ACLU or RCLU there. I think the only ones I would want to rescue me less than the Russians is the Three Stooges. Do you find this valuable? |

"Ok, the defining characteristic of a zombie is killing humans to eat them while under the influence of exterior factors: I.e. viruses, parasites, rising from the dead etc."No, as I say, the only thing which ALL zombies have in common, be they fictional or otherwise (There are real zombies), is that they are "Undead." In fact, none of the rituals from which the zombies commonly depected in film and other media derive had anything to do with making a brainless killing machine. Ironically, their products were brainless and lethargic (unlike the "Rage Zombies," as some insist on calling them), but did not hunger for human flesh, or flesh at all for that matter. Albeit these IRL zombies were still biologically alive, but voodoo tradition, not to mention every Western account up until modern medical science had a chance to get ahold of them, did not consider them so -- they were literally called the Undead.

The irony would probably kill you before they could even get your brain out. Do you find this valuable? |

Thus, by your argument, they would have tried to get funky with that black chick before eating her. Do you find this valuable? |

"Sex is more primitive than biting, and violence is something your instincts do NOT want you to do to that muff you're slamming. Thus, by your argument, they would have tried to get funky with that black chick before eating her."That's preposterous. Territoriality is also a very primitive instinct. Hunting is a VERY primitive instinct. The sex drive is primitive, but who's to say a person who has been biologically reduced to a hyper-aggressive beast is going to instinctively go for reproduction? I think it makes more sense to guess that SURVIVAL will be the instinct that comes before anything else. Mixed in with that, of course, is the "Sex" drive of the virus, which demands the host to help spread it. On a completely sideways note, people are notorious for getting sex and violence confused. Especially people who use phrases like, "That muff you're slamming." 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

well i remember at the end of the first movie, some clearly dead looking people not able to walk, but can still bite. the way i look at "zombie" is a mental state. where the normal human emotion spectrum no longer is valid and you just wnat to feed, regardless of heart beat or none, if you re trying to eat me i am gonna shoot you, and if your dedicated enough a wound wont stop you, so i'll shoot you in the head.

"well i remember at the end of the first movie, some clearly dead looking people not able to walk, but can still bite.And you would be correct. Technically a zombie is a person who doesnt have control over their own free will, and that pursues one thing constantly(in most every case): human flesh. They dont have to be dead to be zombies, that is just everyones preference because its wicked awesome that a bunch of dead guys are alive again! psh Do you find this valuable? |
