Discussion and Debate
Yes, a winner has been selected in the Who Wants to be a Lemon Jockey contest. You'll be hearing from him or her on Friday. Until then you'll just have to make due with the rest of us.

Today I'm going to open a matter for discussion and debate, as the title implied. This is a subject that Lemon Party intern dfjawieod brought to public attention, but unfortunately he has difficulty putting his ideas into cogent print so I will be presenting our subject matter for him.

Here's the question as he phrased it: Robots, Robot Clones, and Clones are all pretty sweet, but which one would you rather have?

Now that dfjawioed has presented the central question and fetched me coffee, we can take a closer look at the options.


The clone: A clone is quite a simply a human created to be an exact genetic copy of another human being. Clones are typically created by faulty Xerox machines attempting to print on two sides of the same paper. Although these are the most common of clonings, this is still a highly uncommon occurrence because Xerox machines hardly ever malfunction. The second most common source of clones is, of course, the clone factories of Venus. Regardless of their source, it is always somewhat difficult to identify clones since they are perfectly human in nearly ever respect. You could find a person's exact genetic duplicate, but that still wouldn't tell you which one was the original.

This is a clone.


No, wait. This is a clone.



Well, at least we can be certain that this is no clone.




So those were clones. Next on the list is robots.
The Robot: The robot is any machine that can do addition on its fingers. Generally robots will talk in very gravelly voices and move slowly.

So those were robots. Last on the list is robot clones.
Robot clones: Robot clones are clones of robots. I don't think there's anything really all that groundbreaking about this concept so I'll go ahead and show you the photograph.

No let's take a look at our subjects as they compare to each other.

Dfjawioeraiod has gone on record stating that "a robot is very nice indeed." An interesting opinion, but not one we'll be referring to again. You see, although he must certainly have virtues of some sort, I know of no reason to ever pay any attention whatsoever to the opinions of dfjarweiodica. So I shan't.

We can argue for ages about things like the morality of cloning or free will in robots. We could discuss the economics of widespread use of either; we can talk about which one would win in a fight.

Those are all fine matters to discuss and debate as our understanding of the topic broadens, but there's really only one jumping-off point: Sex appeal.

Robots:



Clones:


I think this round goes to the clones due to their decided lack of cold, hard metal. Get out there and voice your own opinion!

Perhaps you're wondering why there hasn't been any further discussion of robot clones. Well think about it for a minute. Robot clones? That's just retarded. I mean do you honestly think anything so ridiculous, so obviously impossible is worthy of cheesecake shots?

And remember the guiding light, lest we forget the glory that be Lemon Party.
Because your blog sucks.
