The menace of ROBOTS

Nine out of ten people you encounter on a daily basis are probably robots. As for the rest, how do you know they aren't robot sympathizers?

It's getting to where I can't even take a simple trip to the grocery store without muttering under my breath at all the robot bastards clogging the isles with their fake plastic faces, mocking me with their simulations of natural speech. Oh, I'm not fooled by your synthetic fart aroma. Nice try.

If we don't do something about this problem, before it's too late, then :::urgh::: I just got killed by a robot. See? You could be next. Think about that.

I little water, sprayed from an atomizer into their faces will short circuit their main sensor arrays. It will buy you some time.

LIAR! That has NEVER been true! People saw Westworld and they thought water was the answer. But that was over 30 years ago! Do you think the robots never change? Adapt and learn?

Humans are inferior to robots. Just look at your petty emotional outrage. It's sad really. I'm not even sure how any human babies have survived....does not compute....
