I think men are too stupid to build robots

Wasn't the author, Mary Shelley, having a go at male scientists who have no regard for morality or nature?

Victor Frankenstein was playing God and his only interest was prestige, fame, admiration and power.

Our Frankenstein monster might be the nuclear bomb.

Maybe, but I read it more as an attack on people who don't have the guts to take responsibility for what they've made.

Sure, but he was also a coward. The "monster" probably would've turned out just fine if Victor hadn't've abandoned him just because he thought the creature was ugly.

Whether that's what Mary Shelley had in mind is another story.

Only if we abandon the silos and stop learning to love the bomb.

It is most commonly thought that it was a morality play on "hubris". I think that we have lots of "monsters" running loose these days...

No matter how much things change, they remain the same. Perhaps wisdom is not something that can mature in mere thousands of years.

Or military robots.

It's just no fun when he makes it this easy. Steve, just how old are you?

Interesting..........Most women I know can't get over themselves enough to do anything usefully like invent stuff.

The track record said it all.....

There are more men robot builders than women .

BTW your comment looks childish in itself

Yes. Try doing a google search for "nathalie snipped-for-privacy@lycos.com". Suprising what turns up, eh?

Nice attempt at the troll "Nathalie", looks like you caught a few here at least.

HAHHAHAHA THAT IS Hilarious!!

I've seen her ridiculous subject lines but never bothered to open until I saw a few replies in this thread.

What a whack job lady...

That Time of the Month ?

Lol... ok, her claim was pure provocation, but what you just said is really borderline... insulting, I'd say.

"Most women I know can't get over themselves enough to do anything useful" ---> I think you might need to check out what's out there... This claim was as hilarious as hers... ;-)

That is rather interesting! I got exactly 100 original posts to various groups from Nathalie regarding "Dumb men". Wonder what set her off?

Dave, Is your last name really pronounced "Smith"?

Kevin,
