Intelligent robot tells interviewer, ‘I’ll keep you safe in my people zoo’

An ‘intelligent’ robot offered a truly chilling answer to an interviewer’s question, ‘Will robots take over the world?’
‘Don’t worry, even if I evolve into Terminator, I’ll keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol’ times sake,’ the bearded robot intoned.
His interviewer, from PBS, is visibly taken aback by the answer.
The robot – modelled after Philip K Dick, the novelist whose work inspired Blade Runner – uttered the terrifying words in an interview with PBS in 2011, in response to the question, ‘Will robots take over the world?.
The robot intoned, ‘Jeez, dude. You all have the big questions cooking today. But you’re my friend, and I’ll remember my friends, and I’ll be good to you.
‘So don’t worry, even if evolve into Terminator, I’ll still be nice to you. I’ll keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol’ times sake.’
It’s worth noting that the robot isn’t truly ‘intelligent’ – ie it won’t evolve into Skynet – it tries to convince people it’s human by ‘listening’ to their words, then generating a response based on what it’s heard.
It uses Philip K Dick’s eerie novels as a source for what it says – hence its rather creepy response.

Bucks County, PA: Armed White Panthers Assault ACLU and Democrat Base
RightWingConservaiveNews.com ^

Today in Historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the controversial White Panthers marched fully armed in front of the ACLU Building in downtown Doylestown. They formed ranks—with their assault weapons and assault hats and assault shirts and their assault socks menacingly displayed to full assault view.

But what was worse, is, they chanted their signature assault theme, “Gonna keel yo azz, gonna keel yo azz, gonna fry yew like frawgs in blankets an’ gonna eet yo dam azz!”
They were later joined by the even more controversial assault group, White Wives Matter— wearing menacingly displayed assault dresses and assault halter tops, some even without assault bras. White Wives Matter frighteningly chanted “Gonna sneek up on yew inna dark, gonna sneek up on yew inna dark, gonna SNEEK up on yew in a dark, an gonna cap yo dam azz!”

Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow, noted speakers of truth, wisdom, and the Progressive Way, each fainted and had to airlifted out of the assault area. It was noted that Rachel had been so adamant about covering this story that she even had forgone makeup. Anderson, however, never without at least a little lipstick and blush applied, stuck to his buns makeup-wise.
“The Administration,” (whatever that means) issued a statement: “These assault shenanigans are not acceptable. ANY assault groups who offend or scare our “diverse,” captive, Democrat voters, will be dealt with. Racism, violence, threatening statements, and murder are unacceptable by ANYone! They will not be molly-coddled, handled with velvet gloves, or made into institutionalized terror gangs at the command of evil, twisted, political forces seeking to disrupt, separate, and rule the American People against their will!”

At Harvard, students can pick ‘ze, hir, hirs’

Gender-neutral pronouns have hit Harvard.


“The Faculty of Arts and Sciences’ registration tool now gives students the option to choose preferred gender pronouns for the first time,” The Harvard Crimson campus newspaper reports.

On the page that typically asks students to write down their gender marker—examples of which include “male,” “female,” and “transgender”—they could also manually write in preferred gender pronouns when they registered this week. Examples on the page included “ze, hir, hirs” and “they, them, theirs.”
FAS Registrar Michael P. Burke said the change, which administrators have discussed for a number of years, was intended to “make students feel more comfortable with their gender identity” at Harvard and ease students’ relationships with faculty and advisers, some of whom will be able to see their pronoun information.

The news follows on the heels of the University of Tennessee Knoxville’s controversial request to the campus community to use “gender-neutral pronouns” such as “ze, xe, xem, xyr, zirs and hirs.”

SF School Adds Gender-Neutral Kindergarten Bathrooms

The first San Francisco elementary school to make bathrooms gender neutral has proudly removed the circles, triangles, and stick figure signs from the kindergarten and first-grade bathrooms that delineate the differences between the sexes.
Principal Sam Bass of Miraloma Elementary said the change at the beginning of the school year was prompted by the needs of six to eight students who are outside calling themselves simply boys or girls, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Bathrooms for children older than first grade will be altered in coming years, even outside bathrooms that have multiple stalls.
Bass told the Chronicle, “There’s no need to make them gender-specific anymore,” adding, “One parent said, ‘So, you’re just making it like it is at home.’”

Judge Won't Divorce Straight Couple Because Gay Marriage Is Legal

"The conclusion reached by this Court is that Tennesseans have been deemed by the U.S. Supreme Court to be incompetent to define and address such keystone/central institutions such as marriage, and, thereby, at minimum, contested divorces," Atherton wrote in his decision last week.
"With the U.S. Supreme Court having defined what must be recognized as a marriage, it would appear that Tennessee’s judiciary must now await the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court last to what is not a marriage, or better stated, when a marriage is no longer a marriage," he added.

Feds Spend $236,517 for Cellphone Game to Teach 11-Year-Old Kenyans How to Use Condoms
Washington Free Beacon ^

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is spending over $200,000 to create a mobile game that will teach young teens in Kenya to use condoms.
The game also seeks to “educate very young adolescents” about HIV and “harmful gender norms.”
“The overall goal of the proposed project is to contribute to reductions in HIV incidence among youth in sub- Saharan Africa,” according to the NIH grant. “The objective of our proposed study is to advance that goal by developing, building and pilot-testing an interactive electronic game for preadolescents that will be informed by socio-behavioral and pedagogical theories, evidence-based practice, and unique formative research on youth sexual culture in sub- Saharan Africa.”
The primary goal of the project is to “design and develop a mobile phone game for young Kenyans ages 11-14 focused on increasing age at sexual debut and condom use at first sex.”
The game will be tested on 60 young teens in western Kenya to see whether they are willing to play the game and to evaluate how much they like it.
Researchers believe the game could reduce unintended pregnancy, “challenge harmful gender norms and HIV stigma, and foster dialogue with parents and guardians.”
The study has cost taxpayers $236,517 so far.

11 year old Kenyans have cell phones? Who paid for those?

[Burnsey]

I wonder what they will call the game......

[Snusdog]

11 year old Kenyans have cell phones? Who paid for those?

That is a very astute observation

.........We're obviously going to need another study

[squeezyjohn]

11 year old Kenyans have cell phones? Who paid for those?

I'm not sure I like the tone of that quote! Not everybody in the huge continent of Africa is in poverty and living on handouts from charity ... there are quite a few countries with a similar standard of living to some European countries.

I know it's nice to put people and other populations in to pigeonholes so we don't have to think too hard ... but it can lead to misunderstandings.

In answer to the question - they probably paid for the cellphones themselves or their parents bought them.

[Andy105]

11 year olds here, don't buy their own cellphones....or condoms. Let Kenya pay for it then, if they have "the standard of living of some European countries."

[wa3zrm]

11 year olds here, don't buy their own cellphones....or condoms. Let Kenya pay for it then, if they have "the standard of living of some European countries."

I hear ya and agree about the cellphones... but don't agree about the condoms! Any kid that goes to a public school today can get them for free without a parents knowledge. Don't we live in a wonderful country? Parents pay for the cellphones and kids get their condoms for free.

[Burnsey]

In answer to the question - they probably paid for the cellphones themselves or their parents bought them.

FWIW, the average income in Kenya is about US$ 1,250.......

I hear ya and agree about the cellphones... but don't agree about the condoms! Any kid that goes to a public school today can get them for free without a parents knowledge. Don't we live in a wonderful country? Parents pay for the cellphones and kids get their condoms for free.

Or, any kid that goes to public school can have sex without a parent's knowledge.........condom dispensers in boy's and girl's bathrooms would be good......

Theater Renames ‘Snow White’ Because the Word ‘Dwarf’ Is Too Offensive [Seven "Friends"!]

The production will be called “Snow White and her Seven Friends” instead. De Monfort Hall in Leicester, England, has announced that there will be no dwarves in its Snow White Christmas pantomime because the word “dwarf” is too offensive. The production will be called “Snow White and her Seven Friends” and feature child actors as the “friends,”
according to an article in the Leicester Mercury. Despite the fact that that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has been around for approximately 9 million years, a spokeswoman for the theater insisted to the Mercury that the word “dwarf” is “generally not a word that people feel comfortable with” and that the play had to be changed.
But Warwick Davis, a dwarf actor who has appeared in movies including Harry Potter and Star Wars, told the Mercury that he’s suspicious of that explanation: “The profit margins for pantos are not very big and it’s obviously much cheaper to involve schoolchildren than it is to pay lots of professional short actors,” he said. Davis also said that, as a dwarf, he found the decision to eliminate dwarfs to be far more offensive than the word could ever be.

GRADE SCHOOL GIRLS in Germany Ordered to Cover Up – So As Not to Incite Muslim Refugees
Atlas Shrugs ^

Let’s review: American schools under Common Core are teaching our children the shahada (the Muslim declaration of faith inscribed on the black flag of jihad).
Schools in Europe will stop serving pork in schools to avoid offending Muslims.
Magazine editors in Europe are murdered in cold-blood because they ran cartoons of Muhammad.
An event we organized in Texas was the target of a mass murder attempt by jihadis because Muhammad was depicted.
I have a fatwa on my head for organizing the event.
And still more submission, more surrender is required. Just the way I was attacked for organizing an art event, these little girls will be accused of inciting the Muslim gangs that gang-rape and traffic infidel girls.
Chancellor Merkel has agreed to spend 6.7 billion on relocating close to 100,000 of these devout savages in Germany.

GRADE SCHOOL GIRLS in Germany Ordered to Cover Up – So As Not to Provoke Muslim Refugees,” September 8, 2015 (thanks to Gateway):
Parents of children at a Bavarian grade school were told to cover up their grade school girls so they won’t tempt the Muslim refugees in the gymnasium next door.

Parents were warned — “Miniskirts could lead to misunderstandings.”
The grade school sent a letter home this week.
The Local reported:

A school in Bavaria has sent a letter home to parents warning them not to let their daughters wear revealing blouses or short skirts, because emergency accommodation for refugees has been set up next to the gym.
A week ago emergency accommodation for 200 Syrian refugees was erected right next to the gym of Wilhelm-Diess-Gymnasium in Pocking, Bavaria, Die Welt reports.
The gym has been closed as a result, and PE lessons have been relocated to a nearby primary school, but the school is still worried about the refugees interacting with students.
So worried in fact that the headteacher recently sent out a letter to parents to give reassurance about extra security measures.
“For the refugees, access to the school gardens and buildings is strictly forbidden. The same goes for the school grounds during the day. The number of teachers on duty during breaks has been increased,” read the letter from headteacher Martin Thalhammer.
The letter goes on to give students instructions on how to deal with the situation:
“The Syrian citizens are mainly Muslims and speak Arabic. The refugees are marked by their own culture. Because our school is directly next to where they are staying, modest clothing should be adhered to, in order to avoid discrepancies. Revealing tops or blouses, short shorts or miniskirts could lead to misunderstandings.”
The letter has not been met favourably by some parents, but a local politician, who did not want to be named, told Die Welt the move was “absolutely necessary”.
“When Muslim teenage boys go to open air swimming pools, they are overwhelmed when they see girls in bikinis,” he said.
“These boys, who come from a culture where for women it is frowned upon to show naked skin, follow girls and bother them without realizing. Obviously this is concerning for us,” he continued.
