HiTech Robotic lawn care system pioneered by Google, threatens Mexicans everywhere

[SUBMAN1]

Robotics are totally coming of age, as is artificial intelligence. Google just implemented one of these systems and it seems to be working well. I'm guessing cheap illegal labor will not be able to compete.

This robot has a complex AI that can produce a general awareness, though rudimentary knowledge of where it has been so it can logically compute where to go next to mow the grass. It is low power and has a low carbon footprint for those that care about such things. Dang impressive.

You are getting more and more beyond the pale everyday.

Can you just admit your feelings and be done with all this?

In my personal opinion you have shown on multiple occasions a tendency to be outright racist and downright beyond the pale. I do not see how you expect Neal to keep tolerating such posts.

He tolerated your conspiracy theories and right wing bullcrap (And by bullcrap I mean some stuff you talk about not even deep RWers touch) But I don't think topics like this help to convince people you deserve not to be banned the hell out of here.

Note folks: There is no "Mex, Mexico, Mexican" word in that article.

Caricaturing a nation by the social class of some of it's people isn't really on.

Hey I mow people's lawns in my town for like, £5 or £10. Does that make me an "illegal immigrant"? :shifty:

[SteamWake]

Hrm, never seen a goat pick lettuce. :rotfl:

I used to mow lawn too, when i was a friggin kid, but I am an adult and have a real job. I have not seen one ethnic group other than Mexicans performing yard work in my city. It pisses me off because they insist on using leaf blowers early on Saturdays. I take care of my own yard and when they see me doing the work they come over to solicit me even though they cannot speak english well at all. Just last week I was trimming the hedges and one of the workers just decided to start using that god damn leaf blower on my sidewalk. I had to stop the fellow and attempted to communicate to him why the frick he was doing that, then his Poppi came over and in broken english said "He pick up leeeves for chu...". I asked, "Por Nada". "No-no senior! For money", he said. I told them both to get the frick off my sidewalk. I do not mind being solicited, but to just start working without permission is pompous arrogance I do not care what ethnicity they are. Eh, I will buy the robot:damn:

Man - being politically correct instead of saying they are illegals (hint hint) doesn't get you anywhere. I'll be more blunt next time.

It was supposed to be funny.

There is a time and place for racist or biggoted jokes. This, aparently, is'nt it.

Yawn.

No - but if you read my post - I specifically called out 'illegals'. They way you describe things is that this is racist. Whatever.

Not my intent, just saying there is a time and place for these kinds of jokes and in my opinion, this isnt it.

Its goats mowing the lawn! Its goats fertilizing the lawn! What better place to crack a joke? Shesshhhhh!

I'm more upset by the thread's title. It implies that Mexicans are only good for mowing lawns.

You could have easily posted a comment about this lawn care system without insulting an entire nationality, but that wouldn't be the SUMBAN way, would it?

Sorry, but in the states, the illegals mainly come from one country. it fits.

But not all Mexicans are illegal immigrants who mow lawns in the US. Your thread title insults all Mexicans, not just those who are in our country illegally.

Let me clue you in a on a little secret. There is nothing you can do in this world that doesn't insult someone somewhere. So get used to that fact because we live here on a planet called Earth.

You have jumped off the PC cliff in a full swan dive. It is this PC attitude that is the cause of most of the problems in the world since people tend to look the other way instead of confronting the problem, all in the name of PC of course.

This isn't about PC. It's about taking cheap shots at a certain group of people.

You could have easily posted your story about a nifty lawn mowing system without the political commentary. Insults don't solve problems. Your cheap shot did nothing to advance the discussion or confront the very real problem of illegal immigration. To use another example, you don't stop terrorism by calling Muslims "ragheads."

You want to confront the problem? Start a legit discussion on illegal immigration without the gratuitous insults.

How is it being politically correct by doing even further singling out than "Illegal Immigrants"

And frankly I don't give much a damn for illegals but the Mexican people are a diverse and hard working people and they deserve our respect. Only a small subsection choose to be asshats not the whole damn people! Just like ANY OTHER group!

How come all the jokes posted about women never get this kind of reaction?

You misogynist bastards:DL

Ah I'm not PUMA enough for you? :P


And I have not seen such a direct derogatory remark right in the thread title about women before. I am not on Subsim 24/7 you know.

I have said my piece on that. (ref. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=146078))

I got accused of:
Being "high and mighty".
Laughing at paedophilia
Posting "a load of horse feminist crap"
Being a woman with PMS
and having constipation

It gave me the impression that misogynism is accepted at Subsim, even
if SUBMAN's casual racism isn't.

[Sledgehammer427]

theres about a 45% demographic of hispanics in my school, 99% of them aren't illegal (i know one is, and he's an a**hole about it, when I can understand his incredibly broken english) I got SUBMAN's joke and I had a bit of a laugh about it. Albeit it was a little rascist, but, again, in my school (and other places in this wonderful town of ours) there are hispanics who decide to sell their work for cheap, my dad and almost all of his friends lost their work, which they were incredibly good at, mind you, i saw the fitness reports, because some guy who was about a 6 hour drive from crossing the border works for $5.00 cheaper.
I watched a show about an illegal immigrant family, and every time it showed the father, he was talking about how hard life was...with a 45" flatscreen tv and a PS2 in the background! I mean, I love the hispanic work ethic, but they need to stop doing it in our country, we are getting overpopulated here in the US, and its only getting worse because all of this cheap labor, combined with a crashing economy, ( I have a sneaky feeling it's mostly their fault too) and we are going down thr crapper in america, while aliens get 90% of their profits back, almost no taxes!
it's really sickening for me to see what our country is coming to.

Well that's awful. Now I feel bad about posting jokes in those threads. :nope:

Come to think of it, I'd like to see some jokes about men from our female subsimmers. One good turn deserves another.

[Frame57]

Female subsimmers??? Ok Jimbuna speak up!:woot::woot:Kidding Buna....:DL

True , the global credit crisis and international economic mess is mainly the fault of illegal immigrants in America . Those sneaky latinos lent out too much money to people who could never pay it back .
