    Yes, but I might feel silly.

    Would a fully self aware robot be deserving of human rights, or would it still be simply a piece of property?

    E: A robot is a robot is a robot.

    Of course not. It's not exactly a sign of being a good teacher if you get mad at the student surpassing you.

    Clifford Brown or Max Roach?

    This is would you. But Max Roach.

    I think if we didn't give self-aware robots rights, they would figure out some way to take them. Better to give.

    Would you consider marrying a self-aware robot?

    Yes, maybe... I don't know.

    Would you say self aware robots who look and act exactly like humans are even possible?

    I'm not sure a self-aware machine is possible, but I don't know that much about AI.

    I was troubled by your question yesterday (after I left) about simulated (non-human) partners for pedophiles. If we adhere to Mill's harm principle, then is anyone actually being hurt? I'm not sure what the answer is. It's creepy.

    Would you legalize prostitution if everyone worked for themselves (ie no victimizing pimps)?

    Well Calidore suggested that it would make the pedophile more likely to rape/abuse young human girls, but I'm not so sure it isn't actually the opposite. Currently cartoon (as in drawings of girls) pornography featuring underage or very young girls is illegal, which I also find hard to understand.

    I would definitely legalize prostitution even if they didn't necessarily work for themselves, though with the social media options we have these days it wouldn't be hard to self start/work for yourself.

    Same question.

    We ARE self-aware robots.

    Yes, but it would never happen that way.

    Would you legalize heroin?

    No. Between human trafficking/debt slavery and pimp brutality there are enough reasons against it.

    Would you give a starving family a month's worth of food if you knew that was all you would ever give?

    EDIT: I would not legalize heroine either.

    Yes, but are those issues going to be greatly increased through legalizing prostitution? All of that already happens while prostitution is illegal.

    And do you mean if I knew for a fact they would starve after the month was out? Yes I would probably still give it to them but I would feel pretty horrible about the entire situation.

    Would you volunteer to help out if a massive Hurricane struck your home city?

    I'd run away.

    Would you call the police regarding the homeless man shouting swear words at people outside the bookstore right now?

    Of course, about the hurricane. And if the inhumane aspects of prostitution could actually be eliminated, then I would support its legalization. I wouldn't participate, but that's another issue.

    Would you report to the police Muslim neighbors who seem to have an excessive number of people (dozens) constantly coming and going? (You have no other indication of wrongdoing).

    Yeah, but keep your cell phone ready. Inside Edition pays top dollar for good video.

    My previous question (whatever it was).

    Haha, no I would not.

    Would you take possibly murderous revenge on someone who had framed you for a crime which saw you serving fifteen years?
