Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled

mpthompson writes "Samsung has partnered with a Korean university to develop a robotic sentry equipped with a 5.5mm machine gun. Meant for deployment along the DMZ between North and South Korea, the $200,000 robot employs sophisticated pattern recognition software for targeting humans. No three laws here, but the robot does include a speaker that can be used to politely issue a warning before taking the target out. The promotional video is both scary and funny at the same time."

You have never been mid-thrust in an awesome sexual encounter when the doorbell rings, and some smarmy ass-hole in Sunday best is at the door telling you about their imaginary man in the sky, and how he can save your soul.

The image of one of these self-righteous idiots being spattered to pieces by a mechanical machine gun operator IS kind of funny.

I'm all for people having their own religious beliefs (no matter how stupid or unfounded, as most of Judeo-Christianity obviously is), right up to the point where they are knocking on my door, my email box, my phone or any other area where I don't want to be bothered. At that point, I'm more excited about a violent robot then I am about their well-being. Now, personally, I think death might be a little much, but I'd LOVE to have a robotic Sumo wrestler seriously knock them around for disturbing me. Maybe cost 'em a couple of teeth and a good solid nose bleed.

I'm so completely disgusted by the "tolerance" that our society is attempting to hold so dear regarding these self-righteous idiots that are:

A. Destroying the planet in giant SUVs with a fish sticker on the back.
B. Voting for maniacal ego-maniacs that want to "Shock and Awe" citizens of other countries into the stone age for personal financial gain.
C. Having their ethics and morality spoon fed to them by
D. Financial interests that invest in all kinds of human misery and environmental destruction (read: more eventual human misery) largely
E. At the cost of the Constitution, Freedom, Liberty, Families, Lives, Education, and Reason.

I'll have tolerance for these ignorant idiots right after I find tolerance for the KKK or any other group of self-proclaimed "chosen people" who are somehow smarter and happier than you and I for having "faith" in made up characters out of stone age cults that suggest postmortem salvation from some imaginary man in the sky that is such a sycophant that you must WORSHIP his immature ass on your knees all day.

If you are religious, you are stupid. STFU, and don't expect me, or anyone else with half a brain to give you any respect WHATSOEVER.

If I went around proclaiming that you have to have FAITH in some invisible man in the sky to live eternally in bliss AFTER YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD, and that I am a CHOSEN person, somehow above the rest of humanity by the divine rights given to me by some ancient made up cult that is guilty of genocide, and didn't call it Jesus or Christianity, then people would think I was insane.

I say they are all insane anyway, an embarrassment to the rest of humanity with the power for simple deduction and reason, and not worthy of any public or private office where their actions could effect ANYBODY else's well-being. That includes parenting, education, politics, military, and even retail.

Boycott them all, or better yet let's round 'em all up: Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Pagans, Shamans, and Mormons. Let's round 'em ALL up and put 'em in a sandbox unarmed and see who survives. Hell let's go ahead and arm them. The rest of us with capacity for reason and true human compassion without being spoon fed by religious corporations will be infinitely better off.

Religion IS the problem. If you are religious, you are STUPID.

Stop coming by my house, singing stupid songs, and trying to discover a connection with invisible men in the sky who MOST LIKELY NEVER EXISTED, certainly not in the way your institutions are attempting to teach you.

Go ahead, mod me down. I'm fucking sick of these ignorant ass-holes being in the majority and costing human lives and a standard of living lower than it should be, all in the name of a god that most certainly doesn't exist, definitely not in the way they envision, in which case if he DID exist, he would obviously be an unconscionable dick-head, so FUCK HIM ANYWAY.

PS. I don't want to come off as Satanic or something equally lame to Christian. I think the golden rule is a good one, and as such not all of Christianity is necessarily a bad thing. Loving your neighbor as yourself is obviously a cool thing. Now as for the rest of that lurid epic of genocide.......

Re:I WANT ONE!

[1800maxim]

As far as converting to your religion... It's a very valid question to ask, but you obviously don't believe/favour or are not devoted to your faith as much as they are. So why bother converting to something that you personally are not very devoted to?

How is that? You are devoted? Well, in that case, when you come knocking on doors, then it might be a good idea to listen to you at least - maybe you do have something worthwhile to say if you took the trouble to come to my door.

You obviously had never chatted with them about 144000 that is spoken of in the book of revelation, nor about their 6 million + members. Even in your own sentence "reign" means reigning over something or someone. Think about that.
