TvIaMsOqTuHeYz I would have. Me and my cousin have had a zombie plan since we were 6. >.> That was ten years ago. Also, you're right, the dead aren't rising, but there is a chemical that makes the human mind go blank aside from hunger and makes them basically impervious to pain. It was found in a flower in medieval times, and it caused a small "Zombie Outbreak" of sorts. Oddly it made them target humans rather than animals. That's supposedly what was in the "Bath Salts" that the man took, and what caused it. I don't know about the other incidents though. Dead people no, mindless zombies... possibility. Zombie actually did refer to living humans that were placed into a trace to enact the wishes of the master, or brain washer. True "Zombies" are creations of high level voodoo "priests", which are actually nothing more than heavily drugged humans whose deaths had been faked, then brought back as a "zombie" used for manual labor. Perhaps there are chemicals that could block pain and cause a person to lose their mind, but there is no "Zombie Outbreak" like so many people are saying. The fascination with zombies was fun the first half-year, but now, its become too much.

Eh, I don't even think that their death had to be faked, I think that they just abducted them and the people who knew them thought they were dead. Oh, the fascination with zombies is still fun, just not the "Lol! I r suprem leder of huminty! I can't w8 unteel I getta bluw zumbys urp! " Me and my cousin find it amazingly fun to actually plan for it if it should happen. We already have his entire town marked out, now all we need is blueprints for the buildings we're taking to begin our fortress. Basically we're preparing a war plot against them should they ever become a reality. Quite entertaining, although you probably think it slightly deranged.

Slightly deranged? I am leaning towards ya'll have falling off a cliff... Seriously the Apocalyptic Theory is just a cover up for the actual end of the world. People think it's fun and games now, but when things get out of hand they'll be wishing they had been aware of the truth rather then chasing fables. Am I saying don't prepare? No... By all means prepare. I've done the same and I can say whatever happens, I'm not dying alone.
In all seriousness. I have a theory for the end of the world. It's rather interesting. I've combined tossed ideas among the world, Biblical analogies, and a few other things to sort of logicalize (I made it!!! The word) the entire idea.

Oh, Slightly deranged was simply me using a euphemism. xD
But do I believe that the "zombie" end is the end? I don't know, but it never hirts to be prepared. I honestly don't care how or even when the world ends, I just don't want to die a painful death. That's really my only fear in this world is pain. emotionally and physically it is the only thing in this world I'll go out of my way to avoid.
The way The Bible describes it, as some of my deep Bible friends have explained it to me, is that on the Geddon mountain ( Or is it a valley... ), the army of Heaven will fight with the army of Hell. This is the final battle, and it will decide the fate of the world. Now, why it is worded like that, and not " Heaven wins, end of story. " I don't really know. Maybe we have to do something, or Heaven will only win for some of us, basically the end battle ends in a second rapture. I don't really know, and I don't dwell on it that much. I'm not supposed to know how things will pan out, no one is. I can only put my faith in a higher power and hope I made the right decision.

For the record calling anything impossible seems silly to me, considering how many of the things that happen today were once considered impossible. There will always be holes in our understanding of the universe, and modern science is brought into question surprisingly often.
Second, I still enjoy zombie stuff. I think an outbreak of zombie standards isn't impossible, but not especially probable. Considering how vague zombies have become. Voodoo doesn't have anything to do with most modern interpretations, and even the dying and coming back to life isn't always included. Rotting flesh usually is, but you dont have to be dead to rot it just helps.
No comment on the end of the world, I personally like to take the scifi end and think we'll be able to survive even after Earth dies. I have no real reason to think the world will come to an end before the sun dies. Although there is always the slight possibility we'll run out of resources to survive (like food) and die that way. Which since modern crops are engineered not to grow seeds is becoming strangely more probable than I would like.

Hikaro_rin Which since modern crops are engineered not to grow seeds is becoming strangely more probable than I would like. Rather, crops have added hormones and chemicals in them to "Help us" (See: Kill us slowly because the FDA is about as corrupt as can be.), which kill vital parts of the plant's reproductive system. So they do make seeds, the seeds are just incapable of growing.

No, they actually engineer the seeds, making them "Better", and ship those out to farmers at planting season. Natural crops will often replant themselves, but these modified ones, because the seeds are bad, will either not replant at all, or grow junk plants when they actually do. It's the same concept as mules. Breed a horse and a donkey, you get a mule. Breed a mule and a mule, nothing happens because they can't reproduce.

Okay, so the plants grow, but their offspring can't, or they grow mutant plants that don't function? I was thinking it was similar to mules, but I just backspaced it. xD

I wouldn't actually be surprised though if it had nothing to do with the modifications to the plant, and was actually an extra tossed in to force farmers to buy more seeds.

No they actually modify them so they do not reproduce, simply so farmers have to buy seeds, they can't just reuse old seeds. Hormones are a different issue. IT is just a moneymaking scheme. I had a friend who did a big research on modified seeds. Other moneymaking tricks include patenting seeds. If a particular brand of plant is found in a farm where it isn't supposed to they can sue the owner of that property regardless of the circumstances. Even if seeds get blown from the neighboring farm, or fall off of a delivery truck.
edit: pretty much what the last post just said.

Okay, so why don't farmers simply just get seeds that will reproduce and cross breed them?
If they got a good harvest, and it wasn't too costly to buy the seeds, then it wouldn't be that bad though.
I'd rather just have controlled farmland that is always producing something for one year, then takes a break, then produces for one year, allowing the soil to regain nutrients. I mean on the year off, we could easily redo all the nutrients it needs. But that would drop prices for grains and other plants, which almost no one would go for.

Wouldnt that make a huge jump in prices for everything that needs to be grown? We would need double the farmland to grow the same amount of food, since only half that land would be growing at a time. (alternating yearly). edit: Admittedly I don't know too much about that stuff, although I know how bad overfarming can get, considering the dust bowl
I definitely thinking engineering plants is a stupid idea. Especially when it threatens said plants ability to reproduce. I doubt cattle are modified to that extent, but they still have to eat if nothing else.

I don't think it would, around here every two or so years they grow a "low maintenance" plants to revitalize the soil, although sometimes they only grow plants that keep the soil held down so it doesn't blow away if they over planted for a while. But that is just Oklahoma. I think we could learn to manage, we'd be able to spread it evenly throughout the world, and it would cut back on the obesity problem that the USA gets pinned with.
