ok im reading the book the zombie survival guide
ever scince tsl told me about it (see zws) i was trying to find it and i did i bought it about a half a year ago or 4 months..........i still havent finished it
so where do you stand??
could the infected rise and take over(could tie in with the "2012 doomsday thing") or is it just a guy trying to tell us what it would be like??
i say................................Nither
im in the middle i think that it could happen science the book talks about a virus---but i dont belive because they say you cant even find it....................so what so you think??

Actually, they do. Some terrorists use a mixture of herbs and drugs to create a type of virus that can render you powerless, mostly used for forced slavery. And, it IS illegal.

the book says they dont talk all they have is primal instincs on how to eat and move....................cant jump..............cant run.......swim or anything..................but they dont decay right away and for the body to be infected the brain must be in perfect shape like a an alive human or a human that died at least about amoth ago and had no decay in the brain
so no brain............no "zombie"

I dont have the book, i dont even know it. But i think its true. to believe the bible: Jezus stood up from he's grave (sorry for bad spelling?)
Actually, i think the book is right for some parts. there are more people who dissapeared from there graves. why is there cremation? is that cause there was a zombie virus in that town and the zombies were provoked and attacked the villagers? so the villagers burned the dead people?

did anyone see I AM Legend?
it has alot of decent information. Zombies became real because of the fact that the cure for cancer...wasn't.
the reason they didn't go out in the light? low tolerance of UV rays. Why they eat people? they need food. they see humans as humans see animals. food. why they infect people?
well, its a natural thing. the virus took over the brain, reverting mostly to instinct function, and slight bodily change. example, loss of hair. the Infecting is not their goal. But its a natural feature that the virus becomes spread. so it is spread to any animal, like a normal virus. always with similar results. it also pointed out what zombies do all day. and that is huddle up in the darkness...
as for cures. like a real virus, there was a 1% immunity. people who could not be infected. and that is natural. apparantley Canines were immune to the airborne virus. The doctor (will smith. great actor) was one of the 1% that were immune. period. not to say they can't eat his guts out. so he was trying to use the natural immunity in his blood to replicate it to be mass spread into the infected. resulting in the repopulation of Actual humans. good thing he was a military viroligist.
now something like this does not actually exist. Mother Nature did not create this. That is not to say with rapidly progressing sciences it isn't impossible. though i have a feeling that in the real world, if it happens, once it spreads, the USMC will do a good job of quarintine, and instantly work on a vaccine. which would likely be much more effective than it was in the movie. remember, its hollywood.
ever play Pandemic 2? those are the actions goverments might take. and more, who knows. i speak for the united states, because i live there. i was born there. i HAVE lived there all my life. i am a citizen there. and i have never left there. if any of you live anywhere else, i will leave it to you to assume what your government would do in such a crisis situation, should it ever occur. or even ever SPREAD to your country. its possible it will not make it over there.
I would reccomend reading Tom Clanceys Rainbow Six. its a big book, 900 or so pages. i read it last year in school. but it was a good book, and i suppose it is kind of similar to this topic. great book, too.

Death. you can have no comment on my post if you did not read the whole thing. and they arent vampires (which can't be real). they do not go in the sun because their skin has a sensitive reaction to Ultra Violet (UV) Rays. it literally burns them. and UV rays ARE given out by the sun. do you not know anything?
and yes. fire cleanses. burning things, as well as exterminating rodents and insects, makes perfect sence. as well as handing out gas masks and fresh water supplies. so does closing off borders, water travel, and airlines.

I Am Legend doesn't really have zombies in it. Zombies are dead organisms brought back to life. We like to think of the classical zombie, the one who walks awkwardly around and makes twice as awkward sounds because only the basic features a man has in his brain is left in its brain. The "zombies" in I Am Legend is living humans injected with a virus that makes their brain follow the virus's aggressive and uncontrolled manner, not half-dead persons.
Back on topic, I do believe there already do exist zombies. If I remember right, some dogs got reanimated in the UK in 2006/07. Their bodies were kept frozen in 7 hours after their death to prevent their body and blood from really dying, then the surgeons did something to their brains, hearts or whatever that stoped working when they died and injected their bodies with something to make the stuff that kept their body and blood frozen removed. When they were done, the dogs woke up and were as good as new. In theory, we should be able to do the same with humans. Just in theory though, and it will obviously be more complicated as human bodies are more complex than what dogs's bodies are.

the virus has no effect on animals though
and fire is a good thing to use only if you can control it
