Oh my god, I just love Neil Gaiman, how could you not like him? I'm joking. But really, I think his novels are wonderful: Stardust especially.Neil Gaiman's stuff - I don't hate the man, I've never met him, and I'm sure he's lovely. But I can't stand his writings and other works. I loved the movie adaptation of Stardust, so I gave the book a shot. Nnnnope.
Ayup, this. With a passion.Social networking/media.
Hate really is a strong word, and I tend not to use it whenever I can. I can only legitimately say I hate four things in this world, the two men who murdered my aunt, the man who poisoned a friend to watch him suffer and a much darker person is the fourth.Hate may be too strong a word but The Walking Dead. I should like this. I like Kirkman's other works (Invincible is fantastic), I still enjoy works featuring zombies. But I just found Walking Dead a complete chore to read.
You're like a robot that never learned what this emotion called "love" is.Mother. Fucking. Wall-E.
And Forrest Gump. Terrible movie.

Unrelated, Dr. Whom is not the best thing on earth
You know, nobody ever says Wall-E has emotions. He displays emotive behaviors but that doesn't necessitate feelings. It is interesting to watch that movie with the perspective that the robots were merely designed to imitate emotions as a means of personifying them for the sake of human masters.You're like a robot that never learned what this emotion called "love" is.

No, they made him and the other one fall in love. Which is just fucking stupid.You know, nobody ever says Wall-E has emotions. He displays emotive behaviors but that doesn't necessitate feelings.

Well, guess who's day you just ruined?You know, nobody ever says Wall-E has emotions. He displays emotive behaviors but that doesn't necessitate feelings.

Nobody ever says that. Ever. That's the viewer's interpretation entirely.No, they made him and the other one fall in love. Which is just fucking stupid.
She "kisses" him and he flies around all ecstatic. Then they hold "hands".Nobody ever says that. Ever. That's the viewer's interpretation entirely.
Those are behaviors, which YOU interpret. You could make any robot today do those things and they wouldn't feel a damn thing.She "kisses" him and he flies around all ecstatic. Then they hold "hands".
But they do these things autonomously and of their own volition. You really think they programmed a garbage bot to hold hands or emulate falling in love?Those are behaviors, which YOU interpret. You could make any robot today do those things and they wouldn't feel a damn thing.
You'd love my sister. The two of you would get along just fine.Dragonball Z.
No, I would say they programmed them to learn, which Wall-E does by watching Hello Dolly. All of the robots on the Axiom follow scripted behaviors (including some that emote for the sake of humans) and they all start to learn when Wall-E crosses their paths, including Eve.But they do these things autonomously and of their own volition.

This... is actually a good point.Those are behaviors, which YOU interpret. You could make any robot today do those things and they wouldn't feel a damn thing.
I assume you mean Shego? I've read many of her posts over the years and am sorry she hasn't been able to post lately.You'd love my sister. The two of you would get along just fine.
That's...logical. Damn it. I have no answer. I still hate it but now it's an irrational hatred, you bastard!No, I would say they programmed them to learn, which Wall-E does by watching Hello Dolly. All of the robots on the Axiom follow scripted behaviors (including some that emote for the sake of humans) and they all start to learn when Wall-E crosses their paths, including Eve.
Forcing them to act that way isn't cruel if they don't feel anything!Wall-E: The story of two robots forced to act in love with each other by a cruel programmer who died centuries ago. They would both rather just be computing pi.
Also, "computing pi" is now slang for robot sex.
It IS if it was done for cruel, human reasons. Just because the puppet can't feel anything it acts out doesn't mean the person who is forcing them to do it doesn't have their own feeling on the matters.Forcing them to act that way isn't cruel if they don't feel anything!
Wrong thread.AMERICA
I have a poor imagination because I can't conceive of the cruel reasons someone would simulate love...It IS if it was done for cruel, human reasons.

I've made this garbage collecting robot to love, and even it doesn't love you! Mwahahahahaha!I have a poor imagination because I can't conceive of the cruel reasons someone would simulate love...
I've noticed you don't like human emotions in non-humans.No, they made him and the other one fall in love. Which is just fucking stupid.
