why can't they invent a machine to wash our clothes and our dishes and cook our food?

  I will be making a male model too. Rosie will do the cooking and cleaning b/c she's a female robot and that's all females can do. And Channing will take care of the male robot duties. Now all I need is a few billion dollars and I'll be on my way.

  Have you seen the dog video on Facebook? The dog picks up everything in the house, brings shoes to its owner, closes cupboard doors, and almost everything. Then all you need is someone to wash the dishes. It was a Jack Russell terrier.

  You had just posted a very long thread post with my name attached as your example. You had said I was attracted to you, but that you had rejected me... it was a lengthy post with my name used well over a dozen times... then you followed me to a non-religious thread and continued addressing me... it seemed to me like an appropriate joke under the circumstances... What I would say is personal, is your desire to create trouble, A Troubled Man. Maybe you could refocus on your purpose here... unless creating trouble is your purpose here.

  It was not a woman that put the moon there, it is in an obvious place, where it should be so us men know exactly where it is!
  
  Socks however could have been put anywhere by you girls along with the tools that we left out scattered across the floor for when we needed them next time.. We knew exactly where we left them and if you girls did not tidy them away we would be able to lay our hands on them immediately.
  
  My wife is always tidying away my computer stuff, she will put an external drive in one drawer and the cable in a box on a shelf in a different room and then forget that she ever laid her hands on them. It will then take a full day of searching and lost tempers to find both parts that were otherwise located on MY DESK in MY OFFICE not bothering anyone!

  LeanManposted 10 years agoin reply to this
  Why?
  
  My maid has a clean bed, private room, meals, above average salary, medical cover and enjoys her life with frequent trips to resorts etc...
  
  The alternative for her is living in a slum, sleeping on the floor, scrapping together enough to maybe eat once a day.. Or worse standing on a corner somewhere selling herself to unscrupulous foreigners that come here and pay a whole $10 to have their way with young girls who have little choice if they want money to support themselves and their families.
  
  Believe me she is very happy with her life - she is not a slave or a servant and acts and is treated very much as part of the family.. She gets more relaxing time than I do!!
  
  Most workers in the country earn between $100 - $200 a month from which they have to pay for their home, rental, food etc. Many survive on considerably less... Many have no work at all and rely on other members of their family for handouts.
  
  I support an extended family and employ around 30 people in various enterprises that would not otherwise exist ensuring that kids go to school to get an education etc etc..
  
  We employ a maid as it helps her and her family as well as making my wife and son's life a little easier. My wife could do all of the work herself and has done, but why struggle if you don't need to? My wife is free to concentrate on my son and our house is clean and tidy....
  
  BUT... I still can't find my damn socks!!!
