Nuclear warfare, economic collapse, there's -plenty- of reasons why humans will wipe themselves out.

Jimi Hendrix. Best guitar player that ever lived, died, or rocked out.

You know, there's not a rule that words don't count if they're not capitalized.

Oh no! Free healthcare and education! Who's suffering will we profit off of now? Oh, wait, we still have insurance.

To quote the words of the great man, Bill Hicks:

“I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are.”

Well, a free market economy doesn't do well when there's large variations between customers, such as now.

And they don't pay their fair share, due to the fact that they make an innumerable higher amount of money than you or I, and yet they pay a somewhat higher amount, and that's it. I have no idea how much they're being taxed now, but I suppose if it's raised five percent, the government would gain money, and they wouldn't have to wait a few days for that gold-plated shark tank.

Saying women shouldn't have a career is like to saying black people shouldn't have jobs outside of labor and criminal activities. Due to many, many years of being taught a certain way, people have decided that it's genetically set, for a certain type of people to do a certain something, be it stealing, or being a housewife. That's not good at all, in my opinion.

I believe they should, due to the fact that too much money in one place stagnates, and stagnation isn't exactly good for the economy.

Because reproduction is an instinctual action, I won't go into further detail, because I'm sure children are on here, but in short, it's a positive feeling, to do so. Just because you don't want to raise a child doesn't mean you have to do it.

The story is that if it's a late term, and by late, I mean can survive outside of the womb, then you're actually killing a living, breathing thing. And on a less intelligent note, if you've waited that long to decide you don't want the baby, you probably shouldn't be reproducing in the first place.

Early term, I don't have anything against it. A fertilized egg is not a living thing, yet. Later terms... Eh, it's a different story.

"We're sorry that that person who weighs three hundred more pounds than you raped you, but it's your fault for not being stronger than him."

Yup~

Rape, incest, statutory. Plenty of reasons why it's justified.

Exactly. And those make a good story, so why not make good stories, in reality?

Why not? It teaches discipline. Also, some of them are actually useful. Jiu-Jitsu, Muay-thai, the works.

That's why you design it to not know it's not free. Make it so it can't even think about rebellion. You can't modify a slave's mind. You can do so with circuits and wires.

I don't see why they shouldn't. They could always have a failsafe it it decides to go all HAL on everyone, or just limit its freedom at the start.

Great, another generic twenty minutes in the future shooter game.

They should've named it, Generic warefare 3: The war is grey.

I prefer music that tries new things. Progressive rock is my favorite, followed by metal and hard rock.

Danny Carey, in my opinion. Great drummer, quick, rhythmical, and

nearly inhuman with his accuracy and speed.

Maybe I didn't word it correctly. Everyone has a 'spark'. It's like raw material, it's useless without refinement. Unrefined gold is still gold, but it isn't nearly as valuable as it could be.

In my non-important opinion, everyone has a 'spark' of sorts. Some of them are just more apparent than others, and some of them are suppressed.

You can teach an idiot to be smart. You can't keep a born genius smart if they don't learn.

You've unleashed the horde... Game over man, game over! We're done for.
