over heard in the grocery

[sky otter]

i don't know how anyone feels about the gay rights to marriage.. it's a personal thing
and i am not going there
but
i do know change is hard for most and while i didn't hear the beginning of this conversation
i heard the last of it and i am still laughing...regardless of what you think it right.. it is funny 



the one guys finished the conversation by saying

what the hell is next    marry your robot ?


it tickled me on so many levels but the biggest one was.. what kind of robots does he know about?

[deuem]

After the robots there are still, cats, dogs, horses, pigs and all the other farm animals.
And lets not forget sea life. There is Flipper and Jaws to think about also. 

I would say snakes, rats and skunks but I think they are already taken. 

We know that sheep are scared....

If they're willing to endure the sometimes rough road of marriage and headaches of divorce, go for it.

Maybe he was thinking about "The Stepford Wives"...

With all the pet lovers out there, the next is someone wants to marry their dog! Wait for it, it'll happen!

Pretty close guess...the questions have already been raised, along with the consideration of programming them to report robotic spousal abuse. Going to be a sad day when your robot leaves you and takes half of your fortune. 

Man wants to marry his porn-filled laptop

Sevier claimed that after buying a laptop without porn filters, he became addicted to pornography, "fell in love" with his computer, and preferred "having sex with it over all other persons or things."

If gay people "have the right to marry their object of sexual desire, even if they lack corresponding sexual parts," he said, "then I should have the right to marry my preferred sexual object."

Geek Ethicist: Robot Wives and Android Prostitutes

Some years back a Nobel prize scientist Dr. Nüsslein-Volhard wrote that everyone should have a wife. She wanted one herself.  Naleighna Kai wrote a book with a similar plot: a wife fights for custody of her soon to be ex-husband's mistress. And there is no getting around it, wives really are great.  So clearly everyone should have one.  Married women especially need wives to help them manage the big three: houshold, husband and kids.  But everyone also needs a chainsaw and a box of wrenches; so robot husbands might be helpful too.  Put it all together and robo-spouse is inevitable.

All that joy aside, the realm of robo-love is filled with real danger for humans. I refer you to Matthias Scheutz, David Levy, and Blay Whitby on this.  The primary problem is people really do fall in love, and hate, with both animate and inanimate entities.  We even get jealous of inanimate objects.  Who hasn't felt jealous of a partner's fascination with a new computer game?  So, in Scheutz's terms,  the dangers of "Unidirectional Emotional Bonds" (we love robots that remain indifferent to us)  are enormous, as are the risks of inter-human jealousy caused by unidirectional robo-love.  Would you kill a person to protect your indifferent robo-spouse? or harm your human spouse for loving an indifferent android prostitute? or punch your partner for kicking your little cutesy Roomba?  Perhaps.

Someday robots will likely have more rights than we do.

I guess I married a Robot 

My Wife "think's quite differently" to me due to her programming of being bought up in a different culture compared to "my own upbringing".

We share a few thing's in common though...  We don't post cat pics, and we don't post baby picture's to the web. 

I think we are smarter than everyone else.  We also know that That the Moon Landing "Photo's" were bonafide Truth.

Smart Gen X'ers that for sure

Most of us know about this, and have seen it before - depending upon one's age and interests. But for a man marrying a robot, this one gets right down to where it is at!
