You can't prove any of it. "Zombies can only shamble, zombies don't breathe, zombies can smell you from a mile away...etc." None of this can be proven. It can only be speculated. You can't designate any attributes to a zombie, because as of yet, there is no such thing. There has never been one, and we won't know what one truly is until they're already plaguing our streets.
"Zombies can't run because there muscles would tear." How do you know this? Have you seen a zombie collapse on the ground because it's muscles just stopped working? If the answer is yes, then you're lying. It's as simple as that. There has never been a zombie outbreak before. Everything on this site is speculation. Which is why there is open conversation all the time, because the object is to prepare for something that has no definitive characteristics. It's not as simple as knowing everything about zombies, because there is nothing to know abot them. Nobody has ever observed the nature of a true zombie.
That being said, you can't disprove any of these opinions either. (This is a simulated arguement between two fictional zombie enthusiests)... "Zombies will most likely be the kind of zombies in 28 days later becuase dead people stay dead." 'Not true at all!' "Oh yeah, prove that it's not true!" 'Well... because zombies are reanimated corpses!' "Not true at all!" 'Prove it isn't true then!' ... they can go on all day without solving anything because there is no actual factual concrete evidence as to what a zombie will or will not be. Look up zombie facts in a medical journal. See if you find anything. No person with a medical degree or any liscensed expert will be able to tell you anything about zombies. There is no zombie expert field. Why? Because there arent any zombies yet!!!!!
What's the point? Stop using counter arguements stating that zombies are or aren't capable of doing something. For all we know, zombies shoot lazers out of their assholes. You can't disprove it! That's why no religion and no athiest can ever win an arguement: becuase nobody knows for sure. That's why you can't prove to a ghost enthusiest that ghosts are nonsense. That's why it will never be an accepted fact that zombies can't run. Something has to exist outside of fiction for anyone to know what it can or can't do. So if there's a post up and somebody states that something is plausable, don't disreguard it as fallacy. To this point in time, everything about zombies on this site is a fallacy. Just post in accordance with the original post or move along.

right, and watch out for the zombie laser butt beams
Bloody hell, finaly! I've been saying that for a year now, and only now does somebody acknowledge's it...

Oh, yeah, you heard me! THE MUPPET SHOW SAID SO!!!
Just doing my part to irradicate unnessecary and annoying sub-posts that offer no contribution at all.

I think that part of your post is false. We have seen over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again what happens when someone dies. THEY STAY DEAD. This is why I think that the only type of zombie that could possibly be created in our lifetime is the 28 day later type.
Have a nice day!

You are missing the point entirely. There is nothing in my arguement at all that makes any point about how zombies are going to happen. Just read it over again, and realize that I meant that your opinion is just as wrong as everyone else's. There is no more plausibility to your statements as to anybody elses'. No amount of science can predict how a zombie breakout could happen, or what a zombie would look like. Seeing as all we know about zombies is what we envision them as, or even rationalize them as, we cannot just go ahead and say what a real-life zombie is. We have no supporting evidence, only reason and speculation, which is not concrete.
You lose.
By "someone", would you happen to mean a normal human being when no possibility of becoming a zombie is possible? You are talking about what happens when a human dies, only when there are deffinately no zombies. Everything about mortality is subject to change when zombies are at large.
You lose.
You said that I have no proof but that is not true. I can show you billions of cases where people die and stay dead. Can you show me any cases where someone dies and returns as a zombie to infect other people? There is proof to support that people die and stay dead, there is proof to support that people go insane. Is there any proof that the dead will rise and infect other living people? This is the zombie preparedness initiative, to prepare for the possibility of a zombie outbreak we have to know what we are preparing for. So yes we will always be arguing about what a zombie is and how they could be created and what their atributes will be. But you should always try and support your ideas with info and research. Some guesswork will always have to be done before a zobmbie outbreak happens, but it should be educated guesswork. Not random ideas that come into your head that are popular in movies.
EDIT
Why would the laws of mortality change? When someone dies they stop breathing. When someone stops breathing the flow of oxygen to their brain stops. When the oxygen to their brain stops it damages the brain. When the brain is damaged it can no longer function. When the brain can no longer function then it cannot controle the the body. If the brain can not controle the body then the body can't open the mouth. When the mouth can't open it can't bite. When the mouth can't bite it can't bit YOU!
Do I even need to go into what happens when the body does not recieve proper amounts of food, water, ect.
Dictionary.com defines death as 1. the act of dying; the end of life; the total and permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an organism.
A vital funtion of the human organism is breathing. So if someones hart stops and then they are revived then they did not die. Because their hart did not stop permanantly.
Have a nice day!

So basically you are saying: "Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one and they all stink."
"They drew first blood not me..." (Stallone in Rambo: First Blood)
Hahaha, even though I like that saying a lot, it's not exactly what I mean. The point I'm trying to get across is, you can't just mark someone else's opinions about a zombie or speculations as worse than your own or most of all, a fallacy, because nothing about zombies is a proven fact and therefore everything is speculation. To sum it all up,
"Zombie opinions are like spastic maniacs weilding tonged eating utensils, nobody knows what the fork is going on."
You lose.
