| Five-Star Bandit (OP) User ID: 8086429 United States06/01/2012 02:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been a fan of zombie movies and shows for years, but barring some supernatural influence..dead people coming out of the grave and walking around is physically impossible. But if you haven't noticed.."Zombie" movies for the last several years have evolved. Resident Evil was genetic experiments trying to create a genetic "fountain of youth" vaccine gone horribly wrong. "I Am Legend"..a cancer vaccine using a RABIES strain(very interesting) gone horribly wrong. "28 days"..basically the same. "The Crazies" a cargo or chemtrail plane crashes into the drinking water of a town..with an unknown cargo that makes everyone that drinks the contaminated water a mindless homicidal "Zombie"(like the smoking toxic barrel that washed up in Florida?) anyway..that's my opening debate..go! "The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society — and he may suffer so much from the incapacity to communicate that it is he who may become psychotic"..Erich Fromm |

We are taking liberty by using the term Zombie, I will give you that. But people are ACTING like Zombies, mindless, eating flesh, hard to kill, etc. Quoting: Five-Star Bandit The fact that you actually have to explain this proves how many of the other types of metaphorical mindless zombies we have walking around out there. |

| Five-Star Bandit (OP) User ID: 8086429 United States06/01/2012 03:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guess my whole point here is it doesn't really matter what the label is, many of us on GLP label the perps in these articles "zombies", because we are fans of horror. It's dark humor, trying to cope with a world gone insane. But no matter what you label them, cannibal or zombie or drug addict..it's VERY disturbing how MANY cases are popping up in the last couple of weeks. So debate if you want, but how bout we focus on what is REALLY important..like what the hell is going on with this?!

| Playto19 User ID: 2153952 United States08/09/2012 10:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I say zombies are very real, just not the way George Romero portrays them. If you ask someone of Hatain decent they will tell you. The true zombie is drugged and feins death, the master then comes gives the person another drug and is said to "capure their soul". They are not mindless killing machines, but rather a well controlled monster.The question isn't are there zombies, but rather who controlls them. A few interesting links.
