It is all in good fun :P
My whole argument centers around the fact that zombies aren't smart. They're mindless bodies that can be drawn into one area and destroyed. Just tie a piece of meat to a robotic drone and have it run around in circles. Then when the zombies start to swarm around it, drop some shells all over the place. This tactic can be easily done over and over again because zombies can't think and can't digest the fact that they're being tricked. Factor that into the equation and you'll see that it's really so easy for humans to win.

oh and I certainly agree, zombies are mindless beings and I'm ceratin the the average adult would dispacth of them easly, and I agree with you premise that humans won't "lose" to zombies as in there won't be 7 billion zombies roaming earth. my arguement is(and maybe off topic but) there's only so much you can do to contain a virus, it's simple biology once a virus is created; it can never be completely eradicated(as of yet) viruses are know to mutating and adpating, it could lay dormant in one species but be highly contagious to another i.e. the real life spores ND used to make TLOU; doesn't affect human or any other animals but higly contagious for most bugs.
I hate to keep using TLOU/WD but they show a perfect example that humans can reach a level of "Staus quo" they have cites and their own authoritative force, I think were you and I differ is our belief in our militarys might to get the job done, going by wiki our total military we have approx. 2.2 million(active and reserve) and thow in 800,000 cops(again from wiki) you have approx 3 mil which equates for about 1% of the US population, heaven forbid we bring in canada and mexico into the equation.(as I'm sure border security would be the last thing on people mind)

Numbers of soldiers aren't necessary. Think of it this way. North Korea has a larger standing army than the US. But who do you think would win?
Again, my argument centers around our military technology. Our capability to destroy huge populations without even a pair of boots touching the ground.

but you're only seeing the situation from a military aspect and there's more to that in a zombie outbreak than just dropping bombs and hoping that it will solve the problem. how would one know were to drop a precise bomb strike if no one is on the ground? how would you know who's infected or not within the city? are you willing to risk human lives to kill zombies? are you willing to lay waste to farmlands and other sources of food, medicine & engery? Lets say an outbreak started in NYC, would you just bomb it know you'e be potentially killing 8.4 million people? Again I have no quam with you saying that we have very effective means to killing massive amount of zombies but do you actually think just dropping bombs where ever it seems fit is the only solution?
sure the initial impact will kill many zombies assuming some survive, they won't feel it, they won't die from blood lost, ruptured organs or a missing limbs. zombies feel no pain or have no emotion, they don't tire and only have only goal; and that's to eat you alive. though we only have movies to portray this but there's always a scene(mostly in the beginning) were we have army soldier armed to the teeth falling in minutes to a wave of zombies, and they're usualy the slow moving ones, heaven forbid that they turn out like the ones from Dawn of the Dead or World War Z, you'd be dead in seconds.
