Anyone else wish they would make leisure activity robots?

Yeah, that's an idea. Why don't we make life-sized robotic dolls! It's not like our already isolationist kids, who prefer texting and online gaming through avatars to actual face-to-face interaction with each other, don't need another artificial way to avoid real human interaction.

I know! Make sex-robots. That way males don't have to worry about females saying "Yes", and females can simply hit an OFF switch when they feel "pressured."

Again...I SOOOO wish for a zombie apocalypse. :doh

Yes, since I sure sexually frustrated immature teens forcing themselves on a woman because of a ego trip is much better.

I wish for captain trips.

you really can't survive a zombie apocalypse, especially if it is cause by 2-4-5 Trioxin.
 
I want a sexbot real bad. One that looks like Amanda Seyfried.

You do know you're posting on an internet forum, with an avatar, right?

Why are the words yes and pressured in quotes?

1. I'm an adult who has lived a full and fairly exciting life already.

2. This is the only "internet forum" to which I belong. (No "I-Phone," no Twitter account, no Facebook or other social media account, No online gaming, etc.)

3. I talk to my friends and go out to socialize; I don't text, email, or otherwise use filters to reduce actual human contact. :shrug:

There was another thread talking about sexbots. That, combined with the new feminist push to require a "yes means yes" standard for rape issues, was the reference I was attempting to make.

Are you unsure what constitutes "yes" or "pressure"? I don't get how feminists are confusing you on this.

Pardon me but are you bored and trying to bait, or simply being intentionally obtuse?

Either way, my point is clear enough that I think I'll leave it as stated. :coffeepap:

I'm trying to determine why or how feminists cause confusion regarding what constitutes 'yes' or 'pressure'. But okay, leave it as stated. Yes and pressure in scare quotes isn't at all creepy.

Exactly, that means ACTUALLY TALKING. There is a difference between talking in person vs typing.

Its kind of like Skype vs typing on a forum. Skype you CHAT, on a forum you type. So no its two totally different things.

You can get programs that allow you to not have to type anything into the computer in order to type (it types what you spoke) and even can talk it back what was typed from someone else to you.

People do not always become Victims since they have issues, they develop issues since they were a victim. The point of allowing them to socialize with the robot is to avoid them becoming a victim. Sorry to say but if you send a victim to therapy you are not fixing their problem. If they are still in a bad environment you are not fixing anything. Even if you believe you are. They need to removed from the bad environment.

You are talking about the Aftermath and I am talking preventive, so sending them to therapy is irrelevant.

Avoidance is a coping mechanism that should be avoided. It is not a healthy way to live your life.

Well I want the robot to play cards with me since I cant find any good online games, and I usually only get to play when I hang out with my cousins.

I was listing other possibilities for the robot besides the fact I REALLY WANT A ROBOT THAT PLAYS POKER. Which was the original purpose of a project like this but it has other added benefits.

I also explained the socializing aspects several times, so you must not be paying attention. If someone is getting picked on for being a teacher pet and doing good to school, discussing stuff that is considered geeky with other students is only going to get them in trouble. So the robot can be used to talk to them AT THEIR LEVEL about things they enjoy discussing. So they dont have to restrain who they are, and are free to pursue their own interests without being bullied for it. Than when they graduate and get to go to college, they might find other intelligent people with the same interest to talk to, but the difference is since they talk regularly to the robot, they have some kind of idea of how to talk, and socialize with other people. They are not just kind of awkward since they never ever talk to anyone offline.

But yes the original purpose was to make a robot to play poker with me. That is what I WANT IT FOR.

There are millions of geeks out there. I know because I am one and married one. You need to get out more, but get more informed. Discover the other geeks. They are there.
 
MisterLogical said:
No I did not, only you did.

The main purpose would be to play cards, but the software can be used for other purposes, like building robots made in order to help children socialize. You should really learn to pay attention.

So no I never said that children playing poker with a robot is going to fix social problems. Often to get funding for projects or making your name in the community, you often have to have some helpful purpose for your invention. The purpose is suppose to be to play poker, but it can also be used for other things like helping rejected children socialize. You are confusing yourself.

Robots are not going to legitimately help children socialize. They need to be around other children.

There are some zombie apocalypses that could be survived but your odds do seem to be better with Captain Trips.

You are living in an ideal fantasized world that does not exist presently. People are most happy and stimulated when they are in an environment that is helpful to their character. In other words around people that are like minded and where they are allowed to express themselves properly. However in many environments this is simply not the case. In most public schools there is a lot of bullying and what is valued as important is not really good for people. Saying "Yeah lets get as much sex as possible, do drugs and drink till we puke" is not in any way constructive but that is what is valued in high-school. For someone who just wants to get to a good college though this means they are often ostracized.

If a student is smart and wants to think creatively and learn in school they are not going to have a happy time in school. Even if they get good grades they are going to often be bullied or else be seen at a nuisance for not "Following the program" that the school has set force. Since school is not about learning its about learning the CORRECT way. Even though everyone learns at a different rate, and a different way. There is not just one way to get from A-Z. What you are saying only applys in an ideal world but sadly a lot of things in this world are not ideal at all.

If Students were always put in an environment that was constructive to them as a person that would be true. However a lot of times it does more damage than anything to be forcing a good egg to be around a bunch of troublemakers. You dont understand the world for what it really is. You see it for how its suppose to be. If that was truly the case we would never have these type of problems.

If schools were set up to determine what each student was good at from a young age and push them to pursue classes in that field than it would not be a problem. We would have all the mechanics with the mechanics, the chemist with the chemist, the psychologists with the psychologists, the cops with the cops, the politicians with the politicians.

I currently have two sons in school and they both have their issues with socializing (including one is autistic), yet they still need interactions with others. You are the one who is living in some strange fantasy world if you think bullying is that bad in schools now compared to recent decades of our past when talking public schools.

As I said, children need interactions with real children, whether in limited numbers or full immersion. There is no legitimate psychologist that would suggest interacting socially with a robot would be better for a child, any child, than interacting with real people, real children their age.
