"The US Army and Navy have both hired experts in the ethics of building machines to prevent the creation of an amoral Terminator-style killing machine that murders indiscriminately.

By 2010 the US will have invested $4 billion in a research programme into "autonomous systems", the military jargon for robots, on the basis that they would not succumb to fear or the desire for vengeance that afflicts front line soldiers.

A British robotics expert has been recruited by the US Navy to advise them on building robots that do not violate the Geneva Conventions."

1) 4 billion dollars???? WTF-INGF???
2) We hired some British dude? What? We have NO ONE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY who can build a "moral Geneva Convention following" robot? ?
3) Since when did front line fighting become MURDER?
4) This is just for the RESEARCH??? 4 Billion? No wonder we're fecked.
5) How the FECK is the Robot going to know the Geneva Conventions when the assholes they would fight don't know them?
6) Is this a f-ing joke?
7) Ethics?
8) Amoral robots?
9) 4 billion spent on MORAL ROBOT research. WHO THE FECK APPROVED THIS SHIZZ?
10) DUDE, where's my country.

"The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials."

Am I the only one NOT comfortable with this?

The abcs we all must face, try to save a little grace.
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive."

"The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the great everlasting things that matter for a nation; the great peaks of honour we had forgotten - duty and patriotism, clad in glittering white; the great pinnacle of sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to heaven." -David Lloyd George

"Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew."
- President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001

"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."
