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


You are missing the point once again. This is deliberate I am sure.

Please refrain from contributing if you are not going to objectively approach the subject matter.

I didn't miss the point. I deliberately ignored it. It's very liberating. I will now attempt to objectively approach the subject matter in a manner consistent with Mercury's style:

The Saudi Arabian robots need to dry-hump while wearing Levis to avoid overrunning the earth due to their reproductive urges.

I was pretty disappointed with the ending of A.I.; it went on a little too long.
One moment in annihilation's waste,
one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

-Omar Khayaam

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.


Leading cause of development of a serial killer: No Heart.


he has a heart - see - you just need a special key (tears) ;)

That's the same level of stuff you bring in all the time. Are you permanently pissy?

When presented with opinions that differ from reality, yes. I see it as an affront to human progress. Philistine pig ignorance angers me and I take every opportunity to make the bearer of "dumbassitude" realize where their worldview is flawed. Its part of the hacker mentality I was raised on.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not working. I haven't yet realized my dumbassitude. I was also raised in the hacker mentality (not by parents but by mentors). The attitude I remember is be smart, outsmart everyone else, and have a good time doing it. It's probably wrong that I still cherish the memories of the times I brought down the school's computer network because I was bored.

Uhhuh...sure. Next we'll hear about you "hacking the gibson" and be treated to you flying through 3-d operating systems in order to "hack the planet".
