Okay, I read entirely too many comics (Weird Science, Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror) as a kid about robots inheriting the earth to not have a wacko, knee jerk, freaky episode just thinking about this. I also was once chased through a dark room at the computer science department of George Mason University by a robot... so eep!

Because death is the "problem" that religion is supposed to solve. If there is no market for righting yourself for the afterlife then ethics will take precedence over the empty promises of religion.


Well you threw off the empty promises of religion and all I see from you here is an arrogant, condescending bastard. ETHICS FOREVER!!!!!!! I think I'd rather die.

Morals Vs Ethics. Hmm, lets look to Saudi Arabia for the application of this principal:

Think twice before you try another Ad Hominem attack

I didn't even think once....twice would be way too much work. Not seeing how the article relates unless you're one of the people involved.

Saudi Arabia is built on morals. I am sure you are ignoring the correlation between ethical systems of law Vs moral systems of law. I am sure you would feel at home in a Sharia based court system.

It looks like the tin man from the Wizard of Oz. Now his true colors are showing. He's really a psychopath who wants to rip out your heart and turn you into a cold, unfeeling misfit just like he is. If he had his ax, he might consider going the ax murderer route too.

Just imagine how much worse he'd be if he managed to create millions of mini-me-minions through nanotechnology.

I'm not at home in any court system having never been accused of any crime. You?
