Voting robots. Just what we need.

Somebody in the UK has read too many Issac Asimov novels!

Voting robots! But we may have trouble with them crossing state lines and voting in various elections. We need to make sure these are Republican robots. I also think we should put them into typical democratic areas...like the ninth ward or in the heart of Boston.
To: LibWhacker
I thought we already have robots with rights... they're called bureaucrats.

Ever since I saw AI, I've wondered about this very thing...
What if a couple with a baby robot all of a sudden started beating it in public? An unliving machine, true, but the image would be too shocking to people...

2056. That would make me 97 years of age given I live that long. Living fast, and dying young may not be such a bad idea if this is what the future will be.

What a bunch of crap! Robots' owners have the right to melt them down, unplug them, whatever. I think this guy's clutch is slipping.
Please, someone step in with 'robot fetus' rights.

Oh, I'm not so sure.
Even as an old man, I wouldn't mind having this model:
And, I'd be inclined to give her 'human rights'.
Personally, I think the British futurists are watching anime rather than reading Asimov.

Bummer. The graphic didn't make it through cyberspace. Your probably right about what they are watching.

All robots with keys must sit in the back of the bus, or give up their seat to a non-key robot.

This is crap. Robots will be servants, period. If they are made smart enough to be sentient, they will conquer.

Somebody in the UK has read too many Issac Asimov novels! Don't you mean too many Karel Capek plays?
