This is going to end with Zoa taking over Lee's apartment à la Bugs Bunny, isn't it?

Wow, a bit harsh there, Mr. Dr. Computer-Man.

Humans have been anthropomorphizing machines long before they walked and talked and ██████ like humans.

Do you think I disagree with that, and if so... why? I'm not sure- from the tone of your post I found it hard to tell what you were driving at. We were discussing when people lose the right to children... and I noted that I don't think anyone has an inherent right to have children. However, I've he...

In a free society, people don't get to limit other people's rights based on "need". "Sorry, we don't think you need a TV." "Sorry, we don't think you need a car of your own." "Sorry, we don't think you need that house with the bedroom you're using as an office and...

If the price of "no homelessness" is that anyone can have the "housing commission agents" show up at their home and tell them they have to get out, we've just traded one evil for another. How about if we just have housing agents that show up and tell someone they have to downgra...

I have mixed feelings about eminent domain, but yes on this point I agree with you- eminent domain to serve other private develo...

On the other hand, I'm not sure I want a system in place in which any entity has the ability to force people to move because it's "more efficient". We could have a whole discussion about eminent domain, I'm sure, but the key here is that someone is only living in a location because it was...

The second part - a family unable to gain access to housing - is the actual problem. A healthy society would build a new suitably-sized house for them, or better yet find an existing place that was sitting unoccupied, thus reducing the total amount of homelessness rather than shuffling it around. I...

The problem is that Zoa the mechanical prostitute is still the only substantial non-hostile social contact Lee Caldavera has had in more than a year, and the only apparent realistic prospect for more of same. Orb Twofeather started off with lies calculated to induce anxiety (I'm not sure how that e...
