WOW... just... just wow.
Its no wonder you not flunked out of institute, but were banned from the grounds! Please excuse me while I systematically rip your "arguments" to shreds.
Quote: "Here is a quote directly from Mr. Schooklemier that proves neither of us are technically correct."
Ok, first off, that was a test, which you of course failed. I was testing to see if you'd point out that he never taught you, or if you'd just play along and try and look all smart. You NEVER EVEN MET Mr. Schooklemier! He didn't come to work at the Institute until my seventh year there! Over
SIX YEARS after you were banned from the place! He has never released any type of statement to the press or any media sources, and his work is HIGHLY secretive. The only way you it would be even remotely possible for you to have met him, or even been within a thousand feet of him, is if you were in his advanced placement class, like I was. You are obviously just throwing around Schooklemier's name to make it LOOK like you know what you are talking about, when it is painfully obvious you don't.
Second, no zombiologist worthy of his degree would EVER say anything like that. There is no debate over the living/dead status of a zombie! Natural zombies (the type created by infection, as opposed to being raised from the dead by a wizard or whatever) have been PROVEN time and time again, over and over, to NEVER be dead. They go from living to undead, and that's all. ONLY ARTIFICIAL ZOMBIES ARE EVER DEAD.
Quote: "The virus is the zombie. The body is just what the virus hosts."
That could not be any more insane, ridiculous, preposterous, ludicrous, uninformed or incorrect. The virus is certainly NOT the zombie. If
YOU get infected with rabies, does that mean the rabies ARE you? No, of course not. YOU are still you, the virus is simply living in your body, causing you to foam at the mouth, act overly aggressive, what have you.
Quote: "By killing the virus you are killing the zombie."
Ok, now you're just being flat out stupid. First off, how are you "killing the virus"? The virus is, you know... A VIRUS! You can't kill it with a gun or a chainsaw or a sledge hammer. You would need a VACCINE to kill it. A vaccine, mind you, that does not yet exist! As of now, there is no known cure for a zombie infection.
Second, killing the body of the infected individual does NOT just suddenly kill the virus. Granted, the virus would eventually die out in that particular person's body because it requires a living host. But a virus does not just magically up and die because the body its living in dies.
Quote: "But it is unsure whether viruses are alive or not so neither of us are correct."
Wrong, It is very sure. You are just trying to weasel out of this without looking like an imbecile. (Too late, by the way.)
Quote: "There is really no such thing as undead in my perspective."
Well then, your perspective is simply wrong.
Quote: "A vampire is not dead because at one point it died and then came back to life, same with zombies."
*SIGH* You really don't know anything about anything, do you? A vampire is not dead because it, like a natural zombie, becomes UNDEAD as soon as it is infected, or, in the case of vampires, bitten. A vampire does not die and then come back to life. Vampire, unlike zombies, cannot be destroyed or disposed of by destroying the brain. Only a steak through the heart, intense f sunlight over an extended period of time, or holy water can kill a vampire. Crosses and garlic can ward the off, but not kill them.
Quote: "That would be like saying people that are brought back to life by the chest shocker thing are undead now because they died at one point."
NO. PAY ATTENTION.
Undead beings are beings that WERE ALIVE, but are now neither dead nor alive nor nonliving, and will never be alive again. BESIDES, natural zombies never die.
Someone brought back by a "chest shocker thing" (its called a defibrillator, by the way.) is not undead, because the defibrillator brings them back to life, and they are therefore living beings again.
Quote: "
If the human is dead and isn't being controlled, then it wouldn't be able to walk around because he'd be dead."
GOOD. FLIPPING. GRIEF.
CAN YOU EVEN READ?!
For the last time, zombies
ARE NOT DEAD. They are UNDEAD. They still have functioning minds, and are, in a way, conscious beings. But zombies are
not alive, because their hearts do not beat, they do not need to breathe, and they have no need for blood in their veins, among a multitude of other things that classify zombies as being not alive. HOWEVER, zombies are not DEAD, because they can move themselves around, they are capable of very basic conscious thought and simple decision making, and their minds still function, albeit differently than they used to.
Quote: "The virus clearly has to CONTROL the victim, otherwise it wouldn't be a zombie at all. "
And how, prey tell, is a virus, being a microscopic collection of single cell organisms which are incapable of thought or even awareness and run purely on animal-like instinct, going to control a human being? The virus merely causes physical and chemical changes in the host's body, as well as amplifying aggression, causing an insatiable hunger for flesh, and several other changes to the host's physical and mental state.
Quote: "Your view on zombies makes absolutely no sense."
Dont talk to yourself, it's kinda weird. Oh, you were talking to me? Well, then, that's a very funny joke you made. Haha. Hahaha. Ha. Hahahahaha.
Now then, please put on your helmet and go back to playing with your shiny red ball out in you back yard. The Big people are talking now.
