It's possible they would have let them stay peacefully if Rick didn't spaz out on them. I'm all for hating on the show, but that's sort of explainable.

i took it to mean that these people were so comfortable with their little spider web, that these new people posed absolutely no threat. not with 20 guys on roofs and another 20 jacking off behind the fences. leaving these guys armed probably adds a sense of fun to it.
They're in Georgia. Georgia is on the east coast. There are boats on the coast. Sail boats. Why not get in a fucking sail boat and sail your ass to an uninhabited island. No fucking zombies. Surrounded by ocean that contains fish, and the fish and shellfish population would be exploding because there aren't people overfishing them anymore. There probably aren't any zombies down there eating up the shrimp either.
Before you get to the port, you could hit a home depot and stock up on seeds and shit, plant yourself a big fucking garden and chill out on your island paradise. If things get rough, get back in the boat and find another island; there are thousands of them along the coast of the US.
My buddy lives in Biloxi, MS. There's anold Spanish fortlocated about 12 miles off the coast on an island that's about 2 square miles. That shit would be awesome in a post apocalyptic zombie world.

Zombies don't drown so they could wash up/walk out of the water now and then but ya it would beat being in a freaking massive city full of hundreds of thousands of them.
I still wonder what happened to the horde of like 10,000 zombies they saw earlier in the show right before Gov showed up. I guess only a few weeks have passed in the timeline since then. Wondering if we see that again hitting Terminus and is what causes them to hit the road later on even more so than the dude faking knowing what happened.

I was wandering around in a small hardware store this weekend and i walked by all of the axes, shovels, pickaxes, etc and thought wtf haven't we seen these people hit a store like that. I'm sure they would be raided but at the same time I don't see every person and their mother with one either.

The whole premise is stupid. If a zombie apocalypse actually came you would have enough food for the rest of your life from just one damn distribution center. If they made it realistic it would just be a bunch of people with everything they ever wanted getting fat. That doesn't make a show. Watching stupid people travel 30 miles in 5 years surviving against ninja zombies does.

I've spent most of this season complaining about the fact that almost no one has made a spear. The most basic weapon possible and perfect for slow moving targets with paper mache heads. But everyone is running around with knives and hammers and shit where they have to get in biting distance to use. Meanwhile one asshole with a spear in that tunnel could have killed every zombie there in about 5 minutes with no risk.
If this shit ever happens in real life, I'm gonna head over to the local John Deere dealership and get me one of these:

A spear, the ability to job at a moderate pace and climb a tree and/or climb into the bed of a truck would pretty much ensure survivability 99% of the time in the outside world. Inside, you just open doors, make noise, then climb a tree.
I don't blame them going the route the go, though. You'd have to actually write good human interaction if the characters did anything at all halfway intelligent. The show could be an interesting human drama in a zombie/apocalypse backdrop, instead of a melodramatic human soap opera that tries to force OH SHIT ZOMBIES onto the viewer constantly and in the most contrived manner. But it's easier to do it the way they're doing it, and obviously it works.
Zombies would never stand a chance against humans. Even if the humans had nothing, they could fashion spears, climb a tree so that you're out of zombie reach and poke them in the head from above with impunity. Bang on a tin pot to attract more. One person could clear dozens of zombies a day.
That would be just the basics, but you could see smart and capable groups of people building windmills that would make noise and turn gears to grind the zombies, or whatever worked.
I also don't buy the every human at each other's throats, deal. In the American West back in the 1800's, it was really chaotic and people were very helpful to each other. You'd show up at someone's camp and they'd share a meal with you. Your barn would burn down and your neighbors would come by to build you a new one. Sure there were bandits, but they couldn't compete with the good people. And even the bandits would leave poor people alone for the most part.
Looks like the show is doing really well, 15 million viewers?

Food distribution centers would probably get taken over by the government. Gunshops/sporting goods stores would be cleaned out early on. Besides, there will -always- be psycho assholes who will embrace the lack of law and make it an all you can rape and murder buffet. Heck, they don't even need to be psychos...just heavily traumatized people pushed to their limit.

You've essentially described the plot to Dawn of the Dead. You know, actually good zombie fiction.
Seeing how everyone on the roof with their high powered rifles had Stormtrooper aim they should have plenty to be concerned about

Of course zombies wouldn't be the major factor.. obviously a large factor, yes... however, this show has devolved from a zombie show to the main conflict being between different groups of humans.
Now if the zombies were more along the lines of rage infected people in 28 days later, it would be a different ball game.
The show is stupid, but entertaining enough to watch an hour a week heh

The show should move into conflict between humans. That is why the scene in the recent episode of random guy #5246 getting eatingin the middle of a fucking green spaceby a encirclement of zombies is so fucking stupid. If you're alive now chances are you know how to deal with the zombies. They're predictable and slow. You always know whats on their mind. And that is to eat you. With humans you never know what they're thinking. You can never "learn" humans because everyone is different and unpredictable. So I have no issues with them moving the conflict away from the zombies. I do have issues when they still show ninja zombies and people acting like it is the first time they've ever encountered one.

As was said, if evseryone was safe and secure behind their bunker's walls with plenty of food and weapons, it makes for a boring show. So people fucking off into the woods unprepared and acting oblivious of the zombocalypse needs to keep happening.
The comic seems to get by without having to use zombies as plot devices all the time.
