FabSwingers.com forum: Are Americans as bad as the movies?

Just watching walking dead, I was wondering if people would start killing each other in the event of a crisis, or is it's just in the movie producers minds?

I think in the UK come the zombie apocalypse people would work together against the zombies, not make war on survivors.

So your thoughts, is it because they are Americans, or do movie producers just want to portray people as evil to the core?

How boring would it be if they all got along?

To answer it properly though, it's about survival and trust. I'd put myself and my survival over anyone else

I couldn't possibly comment, but only because on my experience of the several Americans I've met my comments might just get me arrested lol.

I haven't seen the Walking Dead but I'm guessing they portray what they thinks makes the better, more interesting story.

I seem to be the only person who doesn't think about zombie attacks though. Practically everyone else seems to have a plan in case of zombie attack.

Society would breakdown in a few days in such events.

All you have to do is look how people act in the sales when there's £50 off a TV they don't need and already have two of.

Imagine what those people would do when food, water, fuel and shelter are hard to come by.

Yeah, a drama like that has to pitch people against other people as zombies make for very boring villains after 6 seasons - mainly due to the lack of dialogue beyond "errrrggghhhhh".

Seriously though, I can see the worst in people coming out in the face of a truly global disaster like that.

Well if it's the apocalypse and I come across a 6month supply of food and water at the same time as someone else and I have to choose to share and have a 3month supply or behead my fellow man...,........let's just say I'd have a 6month supply of food and water by the end of the night.

When that ran out the zombies wouldn't be the only only ones eating people people to survive

What if the person you killed to avoid sharing the food and water had essential skills you needed to survive for the 3 months?

You might not know it when you kill them but without them it's possible you wouldn't get to use the 6 month's worth of food and water.

To this point, and accepting that it's a huge generalisation, that's what lots of Amricans are like. (I don't mean zombies, I mean the tendency to think killing is better than talking)

The documentary Bowling for Columbine, about the Columbine massacre, was fascinating.

It pointed to the notion that Americans are relentlessly fed on news of fear and victimisation to the extent that they have a disproportionate fear of pretty much everyone and everything. And as a result, think the solution is to shoot first.

I wonder sometimes whether some (note *some* before anyone takes offence) Americans believing they need guns in order to be able to defend themselves makes them too sensitised to the idea there is something serious they must defend themselves against, making them a bit more likely to over-react and go for the shoot first approach.

They believe they need a gun to protect themselves, therefore there must be something they need to defend against, so they're looking for it.

Of course, the shoot first approach does then tend to feed into the idea that they need guns to be able to defend themselves and so it continues.

It's almost a chicken and egg situation. Do people believe they are in danger and therefore think they need a gun? Or do they believe they need a gun and therefore think there must be something they need to protect themselves against?

Mind you, most of my understanding of the gun situation in the US is from television and the media, so it isn't a well-informed view.

Interesting to see a couple of people on this thread would choose violence and murder, over cooperation. which of course would make others defensive and scared.

So that would in theory make the movie producers speculation correct. Take away control and regulated supplies and we turn on each other rather than work for a future.

dont think the people of the uk would work together, you would get those people that would say you cannot injure them, and knowing the uk if you did injure them you would end up being persecuted for doing that. there is also a lot of religion issues that would not work together in the uk.

LOL grew up on a farm, know how to create meat from animals, Know how to hunt with gun, bow, or snare. Pretty good at soil cultivation for crop growing.

Plus I know how to handle a JCB to dig a nice zombie proof moat. Think I may get by without needing to kill people

But I will start in the Winchester until the first wave has passed.

The book (not the film) World War Z delves really deep into this, it's written from the point of view of survivor stories after the fact.

The Yanks don't fare well, they try and blow them to bits but their concussion dependant bombs don't work on dead people, only head shots so they soon get over run.

Israel on the other had build walls, they hold out for a while but get over run too.

The Catholic church relocates to Ireland, an island, but the zombies that get thrown overboard from passing ships wash up on the shores.

The safest tactic seems to be head as far north as you can, the cold slows the zombies down and completely stops them in the really cold weather.

In the book the world goes into chaos for the first 3-4 years and then things stabilize until about 10 years after the breakout the UN has got it's shit together and have clean up crews travelling the world as zombies keep showing up for years.

The book is actually very good but it's written in a way that it's almost impossible to make a movie out of it. The level of detail is unreal. If you replace the zombies with anything, nuclear war, virus outbreak, running out of oil etc etc society breaks down in the same ways!

The film "The Road" is another take on it

First of all, Bowling for Columbine is complete garbage...

Second, the US is a very, very large place with a very diverse population. I was born and have grown up primarily in a rural community in Kansas, I probably have a very different view of things than someone born & raised in Chicago or NYC...

I think different areas of the country would handle a zombie invasion very differently...and alot of the reaction would be community based, I think small towns would bond together for the most part but would probably be wary of stragglers or other communities. There is a large proportion of Americans who have access to a gun at all times, i.e. concealed carry, yet never take the "shoot first" mentality.

On the whole, Americans are not that different than any others...we love our families and we do what it takes to protect them.

Of course it would, they can't climb the fences or out of pits in the walking dead, so won't be able to climb out of the moat, daily wash through from a good pond via a sluice gate and zombies get washed away, cos I suspect they may be a bit smelly.

Nicely illustrates that we are only as 'civilised' as the structures and frameworks that keep everyone pretty much under control. Without law enforcement people will do anything and everything to survive...just imagine we could no longer import food into this country.It wouldn't take long for people to go crazy and start attacking and looting.

That's why I always think its pretty rich of people to say..."oh look how barbaric THOSE people in that country are"...completely disregarding what circumstances have contributed to that.

It can happen anywhere. I say we are only civilised as long as things remain the way we expect them to be. Garbage not collected for two weeks? All hell breaks loose

I should state, I have man flu at the moment which has obviously removed all logic, reason, and sanity.

But I was a bit disturbed by the violence to other survivors, then got to thinking of other films where society breaks down almost all result in tribes that are into brutal murder as a way forward, strength over thought, destruction over rebuilding etc.

Then obviously being feverish with the man flu, I wondered if the driving force was that people really are totally destructive around the writing teams (i. e. hollywood), or it was just the film makers who peddle destruction and murder as the only future.

We don't need a zombie apocalypse! We already kill and have done for millennia.

Millions of people have died across the world in our lifetime because of poverty, wealth, religion etc.

Killing is not just an American thing.

So, the question is would this stop because of some zombies?

I don't think so!

Do you do realise that your gun crime rates in the US are the same as those in failed states?

Do you also realise that the life expectancy of a convicted murderer sentenced to death is longer that a black male growing up in your inner cities?

Maybe what I first thought was your sarcastic reply is actually an acknowledgement that your country has some very serious problems.

Do you also realise that the life expectancy of a convicted murderer sentenced to death is longer that a black male growing up in your inner cities?

Maybe what I first thought was your sarcastic reply is actually an acknowledgement that your country has some very serious problems. "

You realize every country has very serious problems, right?

I wouldn't want to put my personal survival before that of my friends and family, because I wouldn't want to live in a world with that kind of person in it.

You live in the richest country in the world where 25% of your population cant afford healthcare insurance and the richest in your country live in gated communities with armed guards controlling entry and patrolling 24 hrs a day! Your schools need metal detectors and armed guards on the doors and your NRA say the answer to school massacres is to arm teachers!

And your answer is to laugh at me and say who is killing those black male children?

It does not mater who is doing the killing and who is doing the dying what matters is that your society is bankrupt and so in love with guns and violence that your answer to your problems is lets have more of the same.

The real shame is that many in my country and my government look at your country and say "We want some of that!"

I'm not American lmao. And the rich are rich good for them. You brought up the point about black males. Your refusal to answer my question says a lot

You don't live in America, how can you tell them what their society and their attitude to guns are? You're just another Peirs Morgan lmao

I'm guessing it's safe to say that we don't need to expect you visiting anytime soon

What a shame because with our pea-sized brains we do come up with some excellent forms of entertainment!

The uninsured rate is not 25% and even if it were, the reason is not always expense...I know when I was young I did not have health insurance because I didn't believe I needed it, freedom to choose how I spend my $ is an awesome thing.

Gated communities do exist but they are not always guarded and not all "rich" people live in a gated community...

There are more schools that do NOT have metal detectors and armed guards than those with. And it's quite ironic that the schools that do have those things tend to be located in cities and states with the strictest gun control laws.

Your apparent dislike of Americans and our culture is fascinating and I'd like to know where you get your information.

So by that sense, us Brits are all tea drinking villains that drive nice cars?

I've known a few yanks and most were/are nice people.

I have worked in the US (only for short periods admittedly), my brother was based in Chicago for 10 years and I used to visit regularly. His partner and her family are from Washington State. As soon as she fell pregnant and it was discovered that the baby had downs syndrome they moved to the UK because they felt that Lily (my nice) would have a better life here when they were too old to look after her.

It is not that I don't like Americans, it is I don't like how your political and corporate elite treat their fellow human beings or how there are black and white no go areas or your fixation with firearms.

10 years ago I was in the States and was frog marched out at gunpoint over $6.

I had Canadian cash on me and dude at Border insisted on American cash to get across the border. Didn't say a word until he checked me in then asked for his 6 bucks. When he refused my Canadian dollars he then became aggressive as he wasted time writing me up for entry

Me being Glaswegian and having a very dry sense of humour asked if he considered his aggression to be funny got a surprise when he drew his revolver and threatened me.

For me watching a queue of people duck under tables was hilarious and I'm staring down this gun. He backed down when he realised I was winding him up but in all seriousness I could have been killed because of a trigger happy pen pusher

Have been back since many times and no not all Americans are dumbfuck arselickers

Travelled on a motorcycle in quite a bit of the USA, found people to be mostly about the same as Europeans really.

Stopped in some roadhouses with bikes outside like they have in the movies, guess what, the mirrors were not smashed and nobody left through the window. I was always given a warm welcome, only people I found it best to avoid were those in uniform.

I wouldn't say the cities are so welcoming, but that is also true in the UK / everywhere else.

but please don't hijack this thread for ignorant prejudice it was a dumb question from a dumb tv show, no need to get nasty.

I'm glad you said that Mr A, I know nothing about this show, so I've been wondering about this thread for a few days, thinking it can't have been serious. I was given Antony Beevor's 'Paris After the Liberation' for Christmas, and while we may laugh at them only coming in at the end of the 1st, and being late for the second, the real work was done afterwards, where they truely excelled themselves. That we have enjoyed so many years of peace in Europe since is down largely to them, and is one of the reasons they want us as a steady hand within the EU.

That said, whenever there's an axe murderer on the loose, they always inexplicably run upstairs and make loud wimpering noises in the wardrobe until they are caught, but I guess every nation has its strengths and weaknesses...
