That might turn out to be the shortest car chase ever.... why not eat all the donuts first then the truck will be much lighter and go faster

No one knows when a robot will approach human intelligence, but I suspect it will be late in the 21st century. Will they be dangerous? Possibly. So I suggest we put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts.

You'll be lucky if the robots didn't hear you ... they don't monitor our forums like they do FB.

You will be terminated for your thoughts

No, they'll just disable the chips but let us think they are still working, and life will go on as usual...for now.

Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth.

NOT NECESSARILY:
Quote:
On Tuesday, President Trump granted pardons to two turkeys -- Peas and Carrots -- in the White House Rose Garden during an annual ceremony. Just how the Thanksgiving tradition of presidents pardoning poultry began is still a matter of debate.
President Abraham Lincoln is credited as being the first to free a turkey after it was sent to the White House in late 1863. Lincoln’s young son Tad named the turkey Jack, adopted it as a pet and begged his father to spare the bird. Lincoln did, but Jack was intended as a Christmas turkey, not a Thanksgiving one. It was President George H.W. Bush who officially started the turkey pardoning in 1989. As animal rights protesters shouted from behind the White House fence, Bush declared: “Let me assure you, and this fine tom turkey, that he will not end up on anyone’s dinner table, not this guy — he’s granted a presidential pardon as of right now.”
BY COMPARISON I AM A HEARTLESS BRUTE; TOMORROW I WILL PRESIDE OVER A THANKSGIVING FEAST...BELCH CONTENTEDLY.... AND EXCLAIM...."PARDON ME!" IN MITIGATION: TWO OF MY GUESTS (DAMNED INLAWS) ARE VEGETARIANS AND WE HAVE CATERED TO THEIR CULINARY REQUIREMENTS AS WELL....

I don't think I hate turkey ... I know I hate turkey ...

as a little boy they would always put a slice of turkey on my plate and I was suppose to eat it, but instead I would eat all around it. The dressing, the gravy, the cranberry sauce, the french green beans, the mashed potato's, the yams with marshmallows on it, the little squishy rolls with butter and of course the pumpkin pie afterwards, but not the turkey.

I am the same way today too

Wonder what they'd choose if you set your bird next to this hot steaming pile of stuffed tofu. Lets see how dedicated vegetarian they are after that!

Clearness ornaments profound thoughts.

Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all.

Our blue marble is speeding around the sun at 64,000 miles an hour. Our galaxy is moving along at a mere 1.34 million miles an hour.
