Stupid human race

[Drago]

And then some ISIS hacker works out how to take over the control network and orders the robots to kill infidels instead ...

Sounds a good reason to deploy these robots quickly and use them to kill ISIS.

Well you lot may be extinct in X years but I trust that us Scoucers will find a way to beat the system

You bams will probably have the killbots up on bricks before they get a chance to reload.

There will be lots of snotty nose little scouse kids saying "gis a quid to mind your killbot mister".

Haha, magic.

I have just read that the US is spending billions on a robot that can hunt and kill by itself. No doubt other countries are also doing the same. Meanwhile, thousands die each day of cancer and other dreadful diseases. I hope beings on other planets are not as stupid as we are.

They've been working on them for a while.

If you haven't already, watch the original Day the Earth Stood Still (not the rubbish remake with Keanu reeves). It sort of sums it up. Also, ST TNG had something to say on weapons of mass destruction:

My favourite line: "You poor fools, your own weapon destroyed you"

Crikey! You've got to feel some sympathy for the victims. I'm surprised the pranksters didn't have a coronary on their hands.

I just feel sorry for the poor dog, that must have been a bit confusing for it.

I felt sure that ants and labradoodles would be on that list.

Think of all the stupid wars that the USA have got involved in, and that the only reason that they pulled out of them was because US voters couldn't stomach the ever-rising number of body bags/coffins coming home. Then imagine Trump in power with NO body bags or coffins to worry about ...

Scientists have released a drug that can reduce cancer rates by up to 40%. It's called healthy living. Before insisting billions are spent on magic pills how about we spend our money wisely in reducing it ourselves leaving the money to be spent on variants and diseases which aren't of our own making.

The Terminator: The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Sarah Connor: Skynet fights back.

You don't want to get in the way if those T1000s (assuming no one has cracked the Terminator joke yet).

Mmmhyeahok, please continue.

Edit: oh dear, someone already done the Terminator thing. You sad Terminator-joke-telling person.
