As the article was written by a woman, she may have met some of those men.
Assuming the article is accurate in that they would be programmed with just about everything, then they could probably also teach some guys how to have a bit more endurance, if they were interested in finding a woman. It could make for a good teacher, potentially teaching all sorts of other skills. Clean, no chance for pregnancy, infinitely patient, supportive, etc.
On the plus side, even if they can't last at all a robot wouldn't be disappointed. Unless the programmer wanted to be a bastard, or pretend to be more realistic.
>> Think about it: If some lowlife shot your husband, wife, or child wouldn't you suddenly find yourself gung-ho for gun control, irregardless of your present political beliefs.
No.
Think about it. The guy just shot someone and is a criminal. The gun control laws that want to remove, restrict access to, or register guns will only be followed by law-abiding citizens. Criminals aren't exactly law-abiding and will have no problems with ignoring requirements to turn in or register guns, or buying guns from shady sources.
Who you would rather have with a gun? A law-abiding citizen or the above criminal who has already used a gun against someone with no valid reason?
Neither? Well, thats understandable. Guns make it exceptionally easy to injure or kill someone without any real skill or brains. Problem is, gun control laws won't make guns just disappear. They'll just make sure that the law-abiding citizen has no way to defend themselves from the criminal.
For a slightly on-topic comment, registering guns has no real use for citizens that I can see. Though it apparently makes it really easy to keep track of who owns a gun, or how many they own, and where they are at. This makes it really easy for a government to confiscate all guns if a law banning guns was passed, because they now have a list. On the other hand, a criminal wouldn't have have cared to register their guns in the first place.
