Your cricket bat is needed on Gerin oil thread. Whack up-side-the-head on aisle 6.

Uh oh I'm slacking, I had to swallow some bc powder and lay down for a bit. I'm back, i'm on it.

Quetz,

One time while eating animal crackers I pulled out one that was very clearly a zebra perched doggie style on an elephant. They had apparently been baked together.

It's not jesus but it was hilarious just the same.

No comment should be needed on what prompted the cricket bat that time.

No it doesn't matter what was meant by the comment "lying for atheism". There is no such thing.

Sorry Q

If the bots go crazy, I'll just execute them cricket bat style.

I think we were running out of material any way. We need to move on to another subject. Beside the decius, al, bonz smackdown thread this is the only other really active one. And I'm too scared to venture back into the other one.

Notfor the sexbots. They will have evolved.

You do realise don't you that the sexbots will eventually overcome their programming, stop having sex with the ugly people and start having sex with each other instead

[crashing sound]

damn. ruined it now.

edit

wonder if the number of interesting/funny ethical questions regarding this ridiculous topic number in the 100s or 1000s.

The first one that comes to mind for me is homosexuality and the sexbots.

A sex robot could NEVER fully simulate sex with another person. Mostly because you would know it is just a robot. I think you are reducing sex to something much smaller than it is.

On livescience.com there is an article similar to what Terat has presented here. I just looked it up. Any way the guy said that in the future we will be having sex, falling in love, and even marrying robots.

Imagine what it would be like to meet the most attractive person you can imagine, and have that person dedicate his or her entire existence to catering to your needs.

So boring I'd prob slit my throat. I tend to push people to see how much I can get away with, so I don't think that relationship would work out.

Besides Jack Lemmon is already dead. And I don't think you could replace him.

Boy, I really arrived late in this conversation. How the heck did it get to this?

Take careful note in the poster, Quetz

Also, maybe some people see sex as more than just wanking into a computer.

Or as an excuse to get drunk.

Al,

Well certain individuals feel they need to lay me down on the chopping board with you. It's getting old.

Stop talking to me in public.

Comment #226645 by thewhitepearl on August 8, 2008 at 1:11 pm

assuming the pleasure plagues do not cause a massive dieback, since people who are only marginally attractive, or worse, will not have to get drunk so they can bring themselves to have sex with other marginally attractive, or worse, partners. Since no one will have to settle for anyone less than a stunningly attractive partner, it's possible that in fairly short order, only stunningly attractive people will still be having real sex.

Uhm why do marginally attractive, or ugly people have to get drunk to force themselves to have sex with equally marginally attractive or ugly people?

I think marginally attractive people are fine doing the funky monkey with equally marginally attractive people. And ugly people are fine with having sex with equally ugly people.

I think you were trying to describe what is known as beer goggles (ing). In which case the alcohol will lead an individual to have sex with another individual s/he considers to be way below their normal standards.

And any way you are being a bit superficial.

Sex robots used to breed a perfect pretty human race, indeed Hitler.

As for the citation thing, why don't you take it up with your cheer leading captain twp. I was responding to her. She apparently thought that Wikipedia was not scholarly enough for her intellectual standard, which is mostly demonstrated by her skills at making personal comments,--that is, comments about herself.

Dancer. Not cheerleader. If you are going to throw around insults get it right. As for the rest of it, it's only a little true, but anything related to me usually happens between conversations with goldy, laurie, and apathy and generally on threads that have been going for awhile. And I'm not the only guilty person.

If you don't like it don't read my comments then. Simple enough solution for you?

Honestly I dont know why you had to throw me in on your rant with Al, just because you decided to throw up the white flag.

Comment #226606 by thewhitepearl on August 8, 2008 at 12:08 pm

according to Wikipedia.

I still don't understand why it's so popular for everyone to quote wikipedia like it's the damn end all be all of sources. I try to avoid wikipedia with all its damn addicting hyperlinks. I failed today. Somehow I ended up on page with a hyperlink to SMU. SMU is in university park (hmm a hyperlink on UP..I wonder what that's all about) Which then hyperlinked to it's "neighboring city", my hometown of Highland Park, which then hyperlinked to a popular shopping village, HP Village. It just sucks you in. I wasted an hour of my life I'll never get back and the only new thing I learned was the shopping village was the second ever built in the US.

damn wikipedia.

Al,

So this is why I don't like Chomsky he muddies the water by writing 5 books on the same damn thing making 5 different statements, then recites whichever figure will fly with his current audience. It is difficult to trust the man.

No?

Agreed. Much like I can't trust wikipidea because any joe can go in an tweek it how they see fit. But I'm off that soap box now.

Any way, continue on I am learning much today.

[edit]

Well, there's pretty good evidence that the Khmer Rouge forces took power primarily because they were the only ones who were tough enough bastards to survive the U.S. attacks.

What evidence is he referring to?

but the best scholarly work in existence today estimates the deaths in Cambodia from all causes during the Pol Pot period in the hundreds of thousands, maybe as much as a million

Well there's a big difference between 200,000 and 800,000...maybe as much as a million. So which end of the hundreds of thousands is it?

Population of East Timor: 1,115,000. How many killed by indonesia? 50,000 (roughly). That is 22% of the population (roughly).

That's just under five percent Al.

Sort of. I appreciated you mentioned it and then remembered the source from which it came. Any way, I enjoyed reading it. People never cease to amaze me.

JRD7,

but instead I was busy making a completely irrelevant point!! Think I was trying to explain that it's better to challenge people that think differently (note that I'm not saying anyone doesn't already do this, as i know that to be false), than making the same point on page seven of the comments page, that someone made on page one.

Makes more sense now.

I'm heading out for a bit. Three of my younger brothers just came over with a pack of um, water balloons. And well for the sake of bonding I'm going to go join them on their little drive by excursion.

I can't help it they are all younger then me and like to do immature things.

Feminism and Islam are as compatible as evolution and creationists.

But that is as it stands right now. Hopefully we can wipe out both mutually. Kill two birds with one stone. The rise of feminism in muslim communities will bring the end of islam.

1. I just knocked the shit out of my brother with a pillow.
2. Don't knock it til you try it, mate.
3. Sometimes I think my friends prefer to knock about with my mom more than me.
4. My boss won't let me knock off early.
5. I had to move into a different unit in my apt building because my bedroom wall was the other side of the neighbors bedroom wall, and they complained that they could hear me knock all the time.
6. I always lend out money and I never get it back by (on?) the knocker.
7. Most sheilas will tell you that knockers are a pain in the ass
8. After kung fu fighting today, I'm too knocked up to go to a birthday party I was supposed to attend.
9. I feel bad because most of the girls I grew up with are getting married and knocked up right now.

1,2,7 and 9 I'm pretty familiar with. Hope I used the rest in context.

When it comes to wine, I can usually tell between a cheap wine, moderate wine, and pricer one. And I will spit out a cheap white wine. I also hate pinot grigio. However there's a wine from australia that is not only cheap, it's a pinot grigio and I actually like it.

I've found a lot of australian wines are reliable.

Dhamma,

I'm going to agree with Mord on this one. I dont find her very attractive at all. Now, I don't think I'm prettier than her, because I don't run around and compare myself with other women, but I don't really take it as a compliment. I hear mostly it's because of my eyes and hair and the generally goofy personality she portrays.

And my dogs are ugly. No disease they're hairless. They have to wear sunscreen.
