Holy over reaction Batman!. Your amateur pyschobabble kind of falls down when you consider that England isn't *my* country (I'm not english, American, Irish but I have lived in those countries. its actually none of your business where I'm from cos it's immaterial to the point). The point being that the dystopia…

Of course I would have to change my behaviour! I wouldn't have to go to work anymore, I would have to make my own coffee every morning rather than buy it, I would no longer be able to waste time refuting trivial nonsense on the internet etc etc.

It's less than 2 years, they even mention it at some stage. the rest is nonsense and I have succinctly dealt with it already.

It nothing to do with 'my ethics', its common sense. With the world as displayed in the Walking Dead there is no reason to suspect I would be starving, cold or in fear of my life, no more than Rick & Co are currently are.

Its only at most 1.5 years in. People are still people, they are intelligent, they are social animals. The 'rules of society' are not what stops me from killing everyone I see and taking any stuff I fancy, I doubt I'm alone on that.

I'm going with what the show has chosen to show us thus far. 1% survival might even be an overestimation. How long a particular grocery store would last would entirely depend on how many mouths it has to feed. From what we have been shown, Rick & co could easily live off a walmart/Costco for up to a year if they…

I know 'what the point is', my point is that it's wrong. Merely restating the premise at me is not an argument or refutation of anything I said.

I get you're angry, maybe I have offended your sense of American patriotism (always the first thing to go in the American Zombie apocalypse, ironically). But all those incidents could very well be made up for all anyone cares. Even if they are true it doesn't prove anything. People can be violent, no doubt about it. …

You'll get no sense out of Popo Bawa, s/he clearly doesn't understand the argument. when you point out this is all postmodern bullshit s/he goes back and restates his/her initial premise again, and again and again.

Rock on brother 8) it's like the matrix once you take the pill there is no going back. But the Lindelof fanboys will eat as much shit as they can get…

Yes you're just supposed to accept it as more evidence everything is 'totes cray-cray' now.

Yes that is the Walking Dead premise and as I said, you can suspend your disbelief and buy into it. They have been internally consistent so it appears plausible. But this is the thing, that's actually an argument in my favour! Survivor numbers are so small and isolated that people would be more likely to form…

Beatings, stabbings, shootings are not all equal (there is a difference between a gangland murder (rare) and someone taking a few punches outside the pub on a saturday night) and are nowhere near a common place occurrence for the majority of the population. No one is saying people are not violent.

Actually Z Nation handled that fairly well with their concept of 'giving mercy'. After the initial confusion, chaos and panic of the outbreak, when things settled back into relatively stable communities, death would be foreseeable and people would no doubt create elaborate rituals around dying. Also, think: how many…

Clockwork Orange is fiction. Skinhead gangs aren't a huge blight on English society the last time I checked. a minority of a minority if even that. Of course, you would get groups that are based on fascist principles etc but what I am getting at, is that in England (and I'm sure there are American examples) I don't…

Indeed, but we haven't been shown if thats the case.

You can, of course, suspend your disbelief and buy into the concept of Terminus or the wolves, or the claimers. But realistically things would be more like the prison/Woodbury feud.

Well, Rick & Co/the Alexandrians have been the exception so far whereas I would posit that while the Governor or small bands like the claimers would exist, they would be the minority.

Well, the show is ambiguous about how long it's been but, yes, 1.5 years or so is rather soon. It's also peculiarly American .

I highly doubt everyone would go full psychopath that soon. It goes against our social nature.
