Question of the Night

  1. So I've decided I'm going to start asking the late night crowd a question every night to get some interesting conversation and debates going on!

    Tonights question: Could there be a possibility of a zombie apocalypse?

    This is a question I have often wondered. Could a zombie even be made? And how so if it is possible? Would the government fall to shambles like in the movies or would they take control and repair the world?
    Please my fellow forumers, enlighten me.
     
  2. It has been scientifically engineered that if a zombie outbreak were to happen, the continent that it has happened on will likely die out within three hours due to overpopulation, lack of food, competition, and simply ignorance because their minds are too stupid to figure out traps.

    Plus some people will live unless it's airborne.. But that is only in resident evil video games, I believe ;p
     
  3. I think that it is possible. I would not be surprised a virus that can start that can happen.
     
  4. I don't think there is a possibility of a "Hollywood" zombie apocalypse.
    But ever since I heard about the man in miami and heard about all these other cases of cannibalism in the U.S. it is seeming more likely that something could happen.

    I don't think that the government would fall because the outbreak of the cannibalistic humans would be slower and they would be taken care of
     
  5. As for an outbreak, not possible. The military would stop it.
     
  6. Danzo is the motherbeast of common sense!
     
  7. i think there's a possibility, but not as bad as the one in resident evil


    and... if things like in resident evil does happen, the first thing i'll do is kill myself immediately. the pressure is too much ,___,
     
  8. If things like resident evil do happen, I'm driving right up to the panhandle and bring barricades. A ton TON, of barricades.
     
  9. What about the zombie? Is a Hollywood zombie real? If not what would be a modern day true zombie?
     
  10. A real one O_O..

    Dawn of the Dead type zombies!
     
  11. Fair enough. But would it actually be a zombie? Or would it be crazy cannibalistic people? Could the dead ACTUALLY rise?
     
  12. Cannibalistic people.

    If the dead rise, I will shit bricks and off myself. I'm not doing any Nazi zombie bull shit. I die at like round 20 by myself. I'm not doing that in real life.
     
  13. So you wouldn't need to shoot them in the head? The heart would work? Or several times in non lethal places and let them bleed out?
     
  14. I haven't met a zombie personally, but the day I do, I'm shooting him in the head.
     
  15. Just in case? 
     
  16. Nope. Just for fun 
     
  17. Fair enough! Now would you like my long drawn out explanation on what I think of zombies?
     
  18. Go for it man. Lay it on me.
     
  19. please do , i wanna hear  i dont believe the dead can rise, but if they do, like i said before, i'll kill myself ASAP

    and... the zombies in i am legend is the worst possible zombie that could ever exist -__-
     
  20. Well I believe that a zombie could very well be an animated dead body. Now there are lots of religious people who would say that once the soul leaves the body, the body is useless, but i disagree. I believe that a virus could very well come into contact with a body and travel it'd way to the brain and attach itself to the brain stem and be able to control basic motor functions of a dead body by sending out electronic signals to the muscles. This would only work though if the body came in contact with the virus before hand that way the virus could feed off of the brain stem and replace it in a way that way when the body dies, that is the only working part left of the brain. This also explains why the zombies would move so slow. Because an outside source is controlling the body it wouldn't be natural for it, hence the sluggish, almost "lagging" movements. And as you may or may not know the brain stem is also called the "reptilian brain" because it is where the basic primitive instincts lie in a human. And the number one instinct is survival. And you survive by eating. Which is why zombies have an insatiable appetite. They only know how to eat.


    As for the apocalypse itself, I think it is possible, but not probable. I mean think about it. When the country was hit by Hurricane Katrina, it took the government THREE WEEKS to send water clothing and basic supplies. And that was just to help people. Would they even be able to handle eliminating American citizens who some would say are merely sick? And what would happen if there was a cure? The government would have mass murder on the hands. They would be very hesitant to act. Would you like me to continue? I know lots more. You might even call me obsessed. 
