Sure why the hell not!!! Massachusetts was also the first one to legalize gay marriages so why the hell not do it for robots. All I need to hear from robots in this state (if I'm still alive and kicking)that robots have rights and it's okay for them to be married. If this is the case then why not go all the way and argue the point about is it okay for robots to marry the same gender? When they were having talks about legalizing gay marriages in Massachusetts it got to be so tiredsome that I literally quit watching my local news. If I live long enough where it gets to this point about gay robots I think I'll go postal on my local TV stations.
I know where you are coming from. There is this old age home in my city that got a Wii for the people and a bunch of old timers love the bowling on the system. The local news did an interview and most of them stated that during their younger lives use to love to go bowling but had to stop because the ball just got too heavy for them. Thanks to the Wii it brings back one thing they loved doing. At the time of the interview they haven't tried the tennis or golf yet but after they hold their first bowling league tornament they said they will try golf next. Also, half of these old timers said it's better than just sitting around doing nothing or just sitting around to watch some lousy show on tv. I am glad to see the old timers playing vid games.
If sales for the Wii are already this impressive I can not wait to see what they will be when they or the third party companies come out with different (remotes?) like EA's Fight Night and you have the ability to buy actual boxing gloves, an actual bat to hit those homers, or have the ability to buy a golf bag of clubs to play Tiger Woods Golf. I can not wait to see what else (remotes?) that can be used other than the one that comes with it to make game play seem more realistic.
Also, I've heard a lot of the "so called" die hard gamers complain that the games aren't that good. If they ever make any of the (remotes?) that I've mentioned overhead I would love to see them hold up an actual pair of boxing gloves while swaying side to side and back at the same time throwing punches. If you want to talk about the present I would love to see them bowl three strings with the remote instead of using the joystick. My definition of a "true" die hard gamer is a person that would want to intereact with a game in the most realistic way possible. And well, joysticks just don't do it. I've also been hearing alot about the Wii's graphics suck. Just wait in the upcoming years when they'll come out with a Wii 2 or something which will have just intense or way better graphics than the PS3. If Sony doesn't do something with their PS3 quickly I don't think you will see them come out with a PS4. I strongly feel that Nintendo is headed in the right direction with their remote game system. The idea of sitting on your ass holding a joystick in this technology era is just so 20th Century. Come on people! This is the 21 Century and well there should be other ways to control a game other than a joystick.
For the 9/11 incident that could have happen at any airport it just happened that Boston was the more logical choice and the most strategic. The terroists did their homework. One advantage point is that Eastern part of the country there is more conjestion due to less real estate space. Another strategic advantage point you would know if you ever flew, even in simulation, that it's pretty much a straight line to NYC and DC from Logan. Who in there right mind would have thought this would happen to the US? This could have happen right out of Providence Airport in Providence, Rhode Island or Bradley International Airport Out of Windsor Locks Connecticut. But these airports are just hubs so the planes don't fuel up as much as your major airports. It is so easy to point the finger right off the bat and really lay it on thick. If you remember there was already a bombing under former Predident Clinton which should have been a wake up phone call. Number of things gone wrong and part of it in my own opinion is self-centeredness. This should have been a warning but we didn't take any heed. You don't think all of Boston's city officials from the heads of state all the way down to the patrolman feel aweful about what happen on that fateful day? This is a major blow to their egos. So can you really blame them for being extremely paranoid for doing what they did? Put yourself in their shoes. Another thing is as a parent of your young child would you want your child see a cartoon character giving the finger? I know I wouldn't until they get in high school. So with this in mind, whatever is happening to our morals? As for the Big Dig incident I am as appalled as you in this but I don't know about you but I am one of many in the state of Massachusetts that is still seeing my hard earn state taxes going to this behemoth of a mess. I remember when they first opened it up and heard there were still leaks. I told the people around me I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a good chunk of concrete drops on a car killing someone. I am NOT sticking up for Boston because most of my state taxes remain past the Worcester side of the state so my section of the state hardly sees any of it. But as for what happen on that fateful day there were lot of mistakes done on many levels. You don't know what's going to happen and how do you protect the unforseen events? Look at the Oklahoma bombing. He was a citizen of the country. You don't have the right to bad mouth the security or the police or any other law official for 9/11. But I take it that you are one of those that is so quick to judge without looking at all of the facts first and trying to see the other side of the coin. People like you are more scarier than terrorists. I have great respect for what the president of Cartoon Network has done it because doing something like this takes major league sized balls. If I had a large corporation I would want a man like him as a leader. Also, I may not like the way my government is running things but I still also have major respect for anyone who puts their life on the line for everyone.
Come on people! Where's your compassion? The geologists can't help if they have rocks in their heads. As for the astronomers relying on the MS Dictionary they must REALLY be lost in space. But then again maybe these should be the first human test subjects to be removed of the depressed gene.
This is a new conspiracy call the "Booby-Hatch Conspiracy." I guess those men/ladies in those funny white coats (or is that funny blue coats?) don't have enough of a workload so they are drumming up more of a workload for themselves. If this is the case then maybe they are the ones to be locked up while the insane, umm, i mean the "happy ones" go free.

And probably some wise-ass will come up with a Brutus or a Bluto virus that can kill the system.
