#1911 Re: The Garden » Sex and Marriage with Robots Coming Soon » 922 weeks ago
I have extreme mixed feelings on this subject.
I could not see myself marrying or having sex with a robot and loving it. Lets face it, I have toys and they do the job but it's not the same thing. Now I understand that the robots this person is talking about would be completely human like but for me, that just freaks me out. Anyone remember in the
Six Million Dollar Man they had the episode with the robots and the faces come off, see that's what I would be thinking and that to me would be really scary. Or the movie Stepford Wives, that comes to mind as well. Also, I really don't like mannequins, dolls and puppets so this would go right along in that category.
However, the idea of possibly reducing pedofiles having sex with real children [sick bastards] is an idea that I would be in favor for and also reducing sex crimes in general. One would have to ask if that would bring on more feelings for the real thing, which is a strong, strong possibility. It would have to be tested with a group of people that fall into this sick category in a controlled experiment and see what the concensus is.
For people who are extremely lonely, this would be an answer for them to live a happy life together with someone, either as a life long friend or in a marriage situation. If you marry a robot, you couldn't have kids unless you by sperm from a sperm bank or adopt. It'd never be a real situation of married and having children with your husband or wife.
Pretty interesting topic.
#1912 Re: Guns N' Roses » Comparing Axl Rose to the greats » 922 weeks ago
I am going to quote Russtcb from the alt site because I do agree with him
Before you continue on this Wilson V Rose tanget that you've created I'd like to you please remember (again) that art is opinion based.
Also..... I speak for myself when I say that I am in no way uneducated when it comes to Brian Wilson.
Furthermore, you made a comment on how Axl is a "joke" now. If we were to ask the current generation about Axl they'd say he was a joke.
Having said that..... you're telling me that if we were to do a comparative study on Brian Wilson it wouldn't be the same?
For example: go back in time and ask a giant 80s artist (who's long sing been forgotten) what they think about Brian Wilson..... You know what their answer will be? ....... about the same as some giant from now (who will also be forgotten in 20 years) when asked about Axl Rose.
The difference? Brian Wilson and Axl Rose will be talked about years from now for things people that either do not make sense or people just don't understand YEARS from now and their contemporaries shant be.
How much more of a level playing field do these guys have to be on for you to get my point?
Axl Rose as much as Brian Wilson or anyone else that James mentioned in his first post will never be forgotten in years to come. Just as Brian Wilson made his mark beit legendary status or not in ones eye, his talent will not make hime forgotten, niether will Axl Rose. Yes Axl has alot of controversy surrounding his name as well but he will go down in history as being one of the greatest frontmen of all time whether you like his talent emensly or not, that's a fact. His writing is not the only thing that makes him in the status of legendary IMO and it's not just because I am a fan, it's because his talent as a writer, performer, piano player and arranger of material in songs, etc is all that goes into his status.

#1916 The Garden » Gay Woman Sues NYC Restaurant, Says She Was Kicked Out Of Restroom For » 922 weeks ago
- DoubleTalkingJive
- Replies: 2
Farmer says she offered her identification to the bouncer, but he wouldn't look at it, demanding that she and her friends pay and leave. Farmer's attorney, Michael Silverman, is demanding damages and that the restaurant adopt a policy banning discrimination.
"Their response is that Khadijah could have a free meal which is equivalent to flipping us the bird," says Silverman.
The restaurant issued a statement to CBS 2, saying: "On July 16 we met in good faith. The complainant's representatives would not discuss any issues, nor consider the overwhelming evidence contradicting complainant's allegations, without a prior promise of serious monetary compensation to the complainant."
Farmer says with her not wearing pink dresses and pearls, people often mistake her for a man. She says she corrects them and that nine times out of ten, they apologize.
Stay with wcbstv.com and CBS 2 for the latest on this developing story. If you're a woman, but to some you look like a man, should you be prevented from using a woman's restroom? One woman is suing a New York City restaurant after saying she was told to leave the restaurant for that very reason.
"Obviously, I'm not the most feminine woman in the world, nor should I have to be," Khadijah Farmer tells CBS 2.
The charge stems from an an incident on June 24, the night of the Gay Pride March. Farmer, a lesbian, says that she along with her partner and a friend went to the Caliente Cab Company Mexican restaurant, which she says was displaying a gay rights flag.
Farmer says after being seated, she got up to go to the women's restroom. Once in a stall, she says a male bouncer pounded on the stall door saying there was a complaint that a man was in the women's bathroom.
"And I responded to him that I was a woman and I was where I was supposed to be," she says.
http://wcbstv.com/local/gay.lesbian.law … 41284.html
All I have to say is damn that's harsh being mistaken for a man but that's the look she is going for so she has to expect that.
I doubt she is gonna get any real compensation that she is probably looking for out of this.

Hi y all. I just wnated to share this with you guys and maybe give hope to James that he won't have to eat that infamous elephant turd. I found this on yahoo.http://entertainment1.sympatico.msn.ca/ … ookup=true
If this is true then this could be a HUGE tour. I don't know if this was reported before or how true it is. But basically it says that Slash has hinted at a GNR reunion and tour alongside STP. Only time will tell if this is true. While this is not the scenario that most of us would've wanted, it would put an end to the fiasco and joke that CD has become.
Doubletalkingjive
I think it's BS. There isn't any source what so ever where Slash has hinted this and nothing by what I have seen in the news mentions anything like this. I just think it's someone typing a caption under a pic.
PASnow
Well a few things. It's in a list of "20 possible reunions" Right there alone it tells you they're reaching for material, they also mention Pink Floyd. Secondly, "Slash has hinted" I think refers to his statements about possibly reuniting "someday" (Although I am curious as to where the author got the impression Slash hinted about touring WITH STP?? I never heard him mention or imply that. Which leads me to believe it's his own, naive, uneducated guess). Thirdly, if GnR did reunite, as great as a co-headling tour with STP would be, I don't see it happening. Would Axl really want to tour with Scott, and have a VR set with no Nu-GnR? I see a potential GnR reunion down the line. I definitely see STP together by 2009. I don't see them touring together.All in all, I think the author is just re-hashing earlier statements Slash made about GnR getting back together someday (not necisarily in the near future or with STP). Thanks for posting though, some pretty cool other stuff on there (Wu-Tang, Rage)

I didn't even notice that, great catch Pasnow "20 possible reunions" This is definitely specuation for sure
#1918 The Sunset Strip » Dexter (Spoiler Alert) » 922 weeks ago

We will continue from Eps. 2
2nd Episode was great!!
Dexter is back on his game Grin Although I worry when he is doing his thing, I feel like Doakes is going to be right there.
He made peace with his brothers death which allows him now to go forward and be the Dex we all love.
Although I gotta say Rita is annoying, Dex gets this man out of her life that has made it a living hell, with exception of the kids and now because she asked if he had an addiction and he said yes to well his addicition to killing, she thinks he has an addicition to drugs and now want Dexter to go to counceling, I wonder how that will be going forward, will he really go to satisfy her? I know he was covering for how he knew how to drug Paul with the right dose but still this sucks for Dexter now.
His sister is going to snap and I can see Maria setting up the new boss and is going to get her busted for being preoccupied with going after he boyfriend.
It's getting interesting folks.
