Trying to be a good guy in Season Two should screw you over

If 3 billion walkers were storming that chokepoint at Thermopylae, eventually those defenders will get tired and be overwhelmed. A corpses stamina is limitless, a human will get tired eventually(especially if they're swinging melee weapons around for hours on end).

And for the record, i think there was a movie where zombies climbed over each over to scale a wall out of a city(though that's probably not applicable here).

Yeah, plus the fact that some say the battle of Thermopylae is not real :P.
Also, if one of those on the inside/other side were to die, then you'd have a worse problem than 1000's of walkers outside, because if you don't know, the blood goes around fastttttt lol. And yeah, walkers don't need sleep, they don't need food/water, they don't need to rest if they get exhausted. They'll keep coming even after they all die.

Sometimes, being a good guy is the smart decision. Sometimes, being a "dick" is the smart decision. It can't be all one way or another, it needs to depend on the situation.

With the girl on the street, leaving her to die is the smart, rational decision. You can shoot her without suffering any real consequence, but I believe that choices like this should reward rationality. Perhaps there could be some surprise consequences, later, though.

They cut his legs off and ate the meat, to Dale's laughter. He then revealed he was bitten, and so the cannibals tried to choke/vomit up the food. They later died.

*spoiler* yeah the died, they died because ricks group fucking massacred them we never knew if they would have died because they ate tainted meat

It is heavily implied they would, if they weren't sure I doubt they'd of cared. So why were they trying to vomit up the meat? What is your answer on that :P

Comic spoilas ahead.

Food we ate was bitten > host will turn into corpse > thought of eating flesh from a corpse creeps into mind > vomit.

Not all of the characters in the universe know exactly how people turn and how they won't turn, so they probably had no clue whether or not eating meat from someone who was bitten will in turn infect them too. Especially since they're cannibals, they'd probably distance themselves from most other survivors and just stick to their tight-knit group, lowering their chances of receiving this information.

Er....we've certainly gone off topic.

Why yes. Yes we have lol. Still though, it makes sense how eating the tainted meat would kill you. Inside that tainted meat is bacteria, infected cells and the like. That would mean the meat inside of you being processed would be digested into your body, and infect you. It'd be just the same as being bitten. I'd say it's a 80 - 20 chance. High chances are that would infect those who ate it. That would be the logical working of the body, just the same as getting bacteria from unboiled water, getting sick from uncooked meat, it's the same. However, TWD can take a view of it how they like, ya know? It's up to them :P
