The Stepford wives is old news.
I have 3 guitars I’m quite fond of - Can I marry all of them?
Would a man be gay if he married his John Deere tractor?
At this point, even the robot has more rights than unborn humans. They cannot be legally seized or destroyed without due process of law in a courtroom for the owner.
Ping.
Ping.
Makes more sense than a man marrying a man.
What’s the Borg Policy on this?
The agenda is already set.
Next...
Polygamy
Then end of restrictions for cousins brothers and sister etc.
Then a lowering of age for the pedophiles
The it will become open ended after that and anyone in any manner can be legally married.
That institution has evolved over time. Interracial marriage, equality between husband and wife, and same-sex marriage were all excluded for long periods of time under our Constitution
Can someone point me to ANYWHERE in the Constitution that it says anything at all about marriage?
I cannot find it.
Who gets the house?
The robots are probably programmed to permanently close their legs upon saying the words “I do.”
Yours Truly, 2095 - ELO
I sent a message to another time,
But as the days unwind, this I just can’t believe,
I send a note across another plane,
Maybe it’s all a game, but this I just can’t conceive
I drive the very latest Hover car,
I don’t know where you are
But I miss you so much till then,
I met someone who looks a lot like you,
She does the things you do,but she is an IBM
She’s only programmed to be very nice,
But she’s as cold as ice, whenever I get too near,
She tells me that she likes me very much,
But when I try to touch, she makes it all too clear.
She is the latest in technology,
Almost mythology, but she has a heart of stone,
She has an IQ of 1,001,
She has a jump suit on,and she’s also a telephone.
Chorus
Is that what you want - is it what you really want.
I realize that it must seem to strange,
That time haz rearranged,but time haz the final word
She knows I think of you,she reads my mind,
She tries to be unkind,she knows nothing of your world
Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know,all she says is that what you want
Maybe one day I’ll feel her cold embrace,
And kiss her interface,until then I’ll leave her alone.
Only if the robot support me in the manner to which I would like to become accustomed, never ever argue with me, and do all the housework.
And the best part is, mine will all vote Republican. The question is, how do we keep the Democrats from cashing in? I think it's essential that we establish Asimov's three laws of robotics at the outset. The first law is plainly pro-life, and Democrats would never marry such an entity....
Matter of fact, once the Dems think that through, they'll probably try to suppress robotics entirely, so we need to move fast.
At the marriage counselor’s office:”She’s just so cold and mechanical all the time...”
Explain to me how the robot spouse can inherit goods on the death of the human.
How the robot can have rights and responsibilities.
Can’t.
This fascination with robots can only exist among people who don’t see any difference between an electro-mechanical machine and human life.
After my Dad passed on, my mother had a big was of insurance money and decided she would go to college and get a degree. She would spent long nights in a computer science lab and *her* mother (who came to live with us) became irritated with how much time Mom spent in computer lab.
She told my Mom, “Sometimes I think you’re married to that computer.”
I retorted, “Well if she ever gets divorced, I hope she get to keep half its memory.”
