Being zombies wouldnt be a terrible idea

It's just my point of view based on how zombies are portrayed in TVs, Movies, etc.
Being zombies wouldn't be that horrible:
-They walk all the time (no extra exercise to do)
-They have no conflicts (they have no brains to create conflicts other than with humans?)
-No rigid class system, maybe simpler class systems,
since they have no brains to think of such hierarchy, they will simply
develop nothing more advanced than animal food chain pyramid or something like that
-No need to learn such languages, you just speak "gahh, ahhh"
-No more pollution other than carcasses of leftover food I think, they wouldn't have enough intelligence
to drive cars, cause smokes, make petroleum on use, etc

I don't know...

what happens after they have eaten all the brains? Do they just eat each other?

So my point of view isn't for The Walking Dead zombies. Just general zombies you think of.[/quote]

You never watched the walking dead? Slap yourself! >:O

OT: That's true, a lot of us think of Zombies actually having control of their movements and that they actually think of ways to try and eat us, but logically speaking, if zombies were to exist in real life, they would be what the Walking Dead captures them to be, a virus that enters the body and kills everything but the nervous system, leaving it to act on pure instincts.

So therefore, your idea is flawed~

I wouldn't need to. It'd already be gone.

Stay away from that recent thread, then. Full of spoilers.

[quote=Sleepyx714]Your idea appeals more to the "Warm Bodies" kind of zombies. Ones that can think, talk, and control their actions.

The zombies in "The Walking Dead" are more logical though, you're already dead but the nervous system in your brain is still alive and is acting on instinct to survive, which means your idea wouldn't make sense.[/quote]
