Soooo, Let's just get one thing straight...
There are certain laws of physics that must be "generally" followed when dealing with and assuming the nature of the beast. To do other wise will get you killed quickly.
The law of physics as it pertains to the living dead are as follows...
1. To be part of the living dead, you have to be dead.
2. To be part of the living dead, you have to be walking around, AFTER DEATH.
3. To become infected with any specific virus that may cause "Zombification", one must be aflicted with a) an alien space gas, b) a mutated virus, or c) one must be bitten or scratched by a zombie, depending on the virus.
4. Body fluids must absorb the virus in order to contract the virus. In all instances, the virus kills the host body. Nobody survives the virus.
5. People who stop to question what exactly a runner is, will usually get bitten by one.
6. Too much firepower or too little firepower is better than no firepower.
7. You are not Rambo, robocop, superman, batman, Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris...Stop acting like it.
8. A well placed kick to a Zombies head will usually get your leg bitten off...
9. Your "For Display Only" swords, will fall apart after the first zombie, so make it count...
10. If you don't have your own weapons cache at home, good luck getting to that tank on that military base twenty miles away...actually, good luck getting out of your own home...
11. When attempting to survive in groups, make sure you don't team up with any would be serial killers, they don't like to kill the dead, just make you one of them...
12. Alcohol is cool and all, but really, it does you no real good inside your body. Using rubbing alcohol will serve the same for all intensive purposes...Vodka, will just make you look like a zombie...
13. Generally, if someone is knocking on the door, they are alive. Zombies don't knock...
14. Any genious who decides driving a nail in a baseball bat is productive...shoot that guy...by driving that nail into that bat, you've just weakened the integrity of the bat, and created a way for that bat to get stuck in a zombies head...
15. Any person wearing metal armor of any sort is now called a dinner bell, shoot that guy too....

"Soooo, Let's just get one thing straight..."
What is that one thing?
And how exactly are these laws of physics?
Is this supposed to be a discussion, a rant or are we supposed to take it as doctrine?

Okay, so there's more than one thing, but really, in all instances, is this wrong?

Like I've said to you before mate, Nobody is wrong because there is no evidence to support it. It's all theory but we're debating which theory is most sound.

It's cool, but just because something isn't in a history book, doesn't mean there aren't certain facts that have been handed down throught the centuries...

No one's angry, but alot of individuals keep starting posts attempting to argue the same points over and over again. Science can explain alot. Science will eventually, bring us a RE scenario. It is inevitable. But, in every instance of "Zombism" one must be dead. Too many people are trying to bring about scenarios with "Living Zombies", which is a contradiction. A living Zombie, is called a cannibal. they exist and they feed, but they are not driven by hunger and are not difficult to kill.
Also, people start talking about I have this gun, and taking pictures of their LOTR replica swords...Really people, It's okay if you're unprepared, 99% of the world is unprepared in one way or the other. People shouldn't be claiming falsities about themselves. Those people are called "Posers", or rather "Liars".
Ask yourself this, member A says they've got guns and knives, that they've got food and water...The apocalypse occurs, and you race over to their house for assistance. Wouldn't it piss you off when you find out that they've actually got a plastic guncon for the PS2 and a wood sword made from tree branches? And the food they talked about was a box of twinkies?

You say "in every instance of "Zombism" one must be dead", what instances are you referring to? If you're talking about movies or books, then you need to state that. I just watched "Day of the dead" 2008, and people didn't die before they turned, they just spaced out and it screwed with their brain.
If you want to debunk living zombies on the definition; then go right ahead but bare in mind that the evolution of a fictional entity is going to defy definition sooner or later due to artistic license.
1. (in voodoo)
a. the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose.
You talk about science proving a lot but you completely ignore it in your argument. Scientifically, a dead body cannot reanimate without working organs! It cannot happen, else we wouldn't have organs in the first place(if they weren't necessary). You can cite rigor mortis as to limited movement of the infected but you can't explain how joints and muscles, which are solid after mortis sets in, are able to move.
A rabid dog that attacks another dog is not a cannibal so there goes that argument.
Essentially, all beings, human or otherwise, are driven by hunger. If you read into Maslow's hierarchy of needs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs), you will see that intelligent beings must fulfill the need for food and water before any other needs. This gives strength to the theory that a living zombie with an altered brain state would act on basic needs.
Finally, as to the question of difficulty to kill, I personally have met a gentleman who has congenital analgia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_analgia) which is a disease that causes him to feel no pain. Living zombies might conceivably, suffer similar symptoms as a result of zombification. A living creature that does not fear and feels no pain would be difficult to kill. Even a mortal wound would cause the creature to keep attacking until physically incapable.
Your comment about 'posers and liars' is completely irrelevant and characteristic of an unconscious rant.
I hope this helps you to open your eyes to different ideas rather than labeling everyone's ideas as wrong. Yes science can be applied to the theory of zombies, so use it if you have a point to make.

I'm not disagreeing with you but just wanted to state that rigor mortis isn't a lasting effect. After a few days of being dead the body is limber again. Rigor sets in after 4 hours and continues to tighten your muscles for the next 24 hours, after that it reverses and the body turns limp.

Jason, Let me help you to realize a few FACTS about the Living DEAD. It doesn't matter how "Creative Talent" twists the existence of zombies, they are what they are. Day of the Dead was an abhoration of a film that should never have been made. That movie went against everything that has been widely considered the standard. If you need to believe in something more than and almost unstoppable force, so be it.
Me, I am satisfied with "trying" to survive the hoards of mindless zombies, rather than not survive the hoards of Super-intelligent, super-fast, and super strong zombies that you seem to believe in. If and when these exist, they are the exception, not the standard. Put up all the wikipedia links you want to, it's still not going to change the fact that for thousands of years, zombies have been dead.
I feel sorry for your friend and his condition, but I have one question...Do I have to shoot him in the head to kill him, or could I effectively place a knife in his gut and bleed him out? Just asking, because last I heard zombies don't feel pain because they are dead, not because of a rare congenital disorder...
On a final note, I do commend you on a well thought out and intelligent post, though I would have given it more credit with links to actual credible sources. In case you were not aware, wikipedia can be altered by 5 year olds, and thus cannot be trusted.

Uh, Carrie, some of us do have guns and food stores. Now Chuck Norris is bad ass. He doesn't do push ups he does world downs. It doesn't hurt to be prepared for natural or man-made disasters.
