To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

That metaphor doesn't work as well.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

To be honest, much regular sex between living breathing humans is mere assisted masturbation, which is what sex-bots would do. Strangely enough sci-fi keeps suggesting that sex-bots will be subject to emotional responses from their users. I'd suggest that they would have exactly the same effect as porn. For the same reason I think that the emotional response to the killer death robot sent from the future to keep you alive as in T2 felt by the young john connor is equally silly.
People have emotional responses to their smartphones.  Martinus cares more about his iPad than he ever could another human being.  You need to think more.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Yes, and they have clinical diagnoses.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
