Would said andriod have any respect for us? If we built it would it not have flaws? |

Very interesting Abra.
Yes, I would build androids, place in their databanks everything about us, where we went wrong.... If the android is actually "SENTIENT", then it is self-aware and I could have compassion. I can't feel this way about a toaster because it can't think, it just dries out bread. But a machine that can say as we do "I'm HERE", well, that's another bag altogether. I would like it if we as humans could transfer our "whatever" we have into the machines, like in "2001", that way we wouldn't have to become extinct. So, yes, build them. We always like to leave reminders of our passage, maybe something will come along after...? |

I've had roaches
been crawling around for years disgust rising, hands clasping hands and broaches everywhere I go they're everywhere I go slapping them to smears slapping them through the tears why won't they leave? I've emptied the sprays and checked out all the hotels sprinkled the powders gasped when they're in the shower called EVERY one of those guys called THEM twice but they always come back always pouring out the cracks the floor has become a constant trip brown and flowing rustling all nite long days pass, the walls start to fade the only safe place, the bed unmade crested at the bed flowing over,over my head "It Tickles!!" last words to say, lost words of that last day there's no more bed unmade no more me all that's left, resides in a living shade this is no match for the Pale. |

My Compliments to the Chef …

You baked me a pie, Full of beautiful lies, And served it up on a silver plate. It looked and smelled right, So I didn’t put up a fight, When the taste was a bit… off. Eagerly you wait, For me to finish my bait, I should have seen the pretense in your eyes. Under the guise of a new pie, Filled with the same lies, The taste became more and more bitter. Your poison is spreading, And my will is shedding, As you say, just one more bite. Finally it hits me, It’s not what’s in the pie, but what’s missing, That’s terrorizing me from the inside out. I’m done with your pies, But I can still taste the lies, Now it’s your FACE that’s making me sick. MLM ~ 8-11-09 |

This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. |

For a friend

She tells of your pies filled with lies and topped with 'whys' Yet she still tries She tries to understand why your pies so bland concealed by a fake brand A brand that stands out "I'm delicious" it touts Than begins to shout. It shouts all it can But alas the pie is bland cleverly concealed by a fake brand The ingredient being apples of deceit Pretending to be a wholesome treat The crust made from a false wheat These pies are quick to spoil causing the victim to recoil But now I can tell you man to man you should know that your pies are bland |

Renovation

For two months now Your work progresses On a house for me Or we, once abandoned Breathing life again Feelings shown in tearing out Gutting the old, hauling away Unneeded debris, starting clean. The straight line of a wall A true measure of What's left unsaid An even floor for Sure footing, stumbles Far less likely Rooms come into view With your careful Attention to detail. You labor on daily The sweat of your brow As your arms flex Under the weight of Heavy boards lifted Keeping perfect balance As you work, a feat To see, not unnoticed by me. I plot the layout of Rooms, colors, painting What goes where When we're done You, far less interested In the gloss, the make-up Knowing you have provided A solid foundation. Even with your voice silent Your work shows clearly An ability to follow through With an end result that's Pleasing to us both. |

Knowing My Place

Knowing My Place It welled up from that place the rains fell and my knees up to my knees. Her confidence stands out as strongly as the fury coming from her place. Place, is it home? I do not need a man she says. You do not need a man, as she walks through her door and fixes him dinner. Alone, the two, in the corner talking, whispering the day's events. No she does not need. She does not know my.. place. It does not feel like my home, either. The rains still fall. On my knees, up to my knees. Damn that leak. Raine Les 8/13/2009 |

A Mere Child

This is about a girl that was sold by her parents to a man she didn't know...Sadly, this is still going on today Never a thought Never a touch My soul is bought Not even a whispered hush It is wrong the truth never kind what monsters had gone and sold a mere child My child hood was taken my innocense was too My parents never knew the mistake they were making When they sold me to you it was for the best they told me through farewell kisses and smiles and money was given in zest as they sold a mere child The deal was made The price was given They made me a slave You were the only heaven Not an encouraging word Not even a smile You were my husband and lord When you bought a mere child I am older now wiser too But no touch, just a frown as though it bothers you a smile comes here and there But fades after awhile I often see you stare But turn away in guilt for buying a mere child ^10 |

I'm not up to date on the faux-pas of thread posting, so I consider it a lesson learned. i often can't tell when people are joking - i don't think you committed a faux pas at all, and there was nothing 'wrong' with your first post above; i think wux was just giving his personal answer to your later question, and in doing so gave good advice for getting a better response from people in the future. posting an op like yours is just fine, but you will lose some people. sometimes being lost is fun... worked for Doctor Who for years... |

Emotions are our genes way of getting us to fulfill our genes goals. Every emotion we have is there for one of two reasons.
I’m having a tough time reconciling that view with the myriad of different emotions.
1. To help us survive long enough to find a suitable mate. 2. To help us select a suitable mate and replecate our genes. They are evolution's gift to us. Apathy for instance. I don’t see how that could possibly contribute in any way to mating/gene replication. Unless you postulate that some emotions are aberrant – that there is some factor that can alter emotional response such that the result is counter to the mating/replication goal. In which case, wouldn’t the aberrative factor have to directly effect the genes? Just trying to mix things up a little. |
