In conclusion, I sort of feel bad for the people who have to resort paying a heck of a lot of money on a doll for satisfaction. There are so many other ways of gaining the same satisfaction these men are, than buying an artificial human like doll. Whatever happened to the real thing..venturing out on your own and trying to find someone for yourself on your own. We rely way too much on technology and robots nowadays to fix or do everything for us, but what happens when technology surpasses its developments and we are stuck without these crutches to do things for us?

In reality I don't believe that a man will ever be able to feel complete satisfaction with a doll versus a human. Because, reality is that we are human, and we like to have that other person right there in the flesh for many other reasons besides sex. Sex is just a multitude of many other characteristics humans like to share with each other. So yes, maybe the guys buying these dolls are being satisfied, in whatever way possible they can, but all in all it is not like experiencing the real deal. Plus, is $7,000 bucks really worth it? That's a shit load of money to spend on an object for sexual satisfaction. Shit, you can just do it yourself and save the money because it's not like your gaining anything else but sexual favors from the thing. Yeah it might be built to have human like tendencies, but in reality ITS NOT HUMAN, it's a freakin doll!

In my honest opinion when I think of the whole sex robot thing, I think it's absolutely pathetic on a man's part. To have to resort to a mechanical doll to be pleased sexually is pretty pathetic. What happened to trying to find intimacy in the flesh? Is it really that hard for men to socially go out and actually TRY to find a relationship or enjoyment of the opposite sex, or the same sex for that matter? That's the problem with people today, we are just so god damn lazy; or afraid of rejection. You win some and you lose some, the most important part of being rejected is to be able to jump up and try again. Take a lesson from the rejection and move on and better yourself. I understand that no one enjoys rejection, but how can you possibly know if you don't TRY!?

I agree with a lot of the statements your surface in your blog. First off yes, men and women have different sexual needs completely. Men are more likely to enjoy sex for the activity itself, and being able to "get off" I guess they say. But for women it is more of an intimacy thing. Maybe I am generalizing a little too much here, but I believe sex means a lot more to women than it does for men on an emotional level. Therefore, I believe that this Roxxxy robot generally would be favored by men than women.

Like some of the others, I also have not seen this movie. I am not curious in animation type flicks. After reading the article posted, I didn't know how to feel at first. I just think it's a huge generalization to label the movie as a "White Messiah fable". I mean as a kid I grew up with movies like that, but I definitely think that movies have changed since then. Yes, there are a shit load of movies that coexist with this "White Messiah" theme, but not EVERY movie is trying to have a racial tone to it (in my opinion). Why can't we just go to the movies and enjoy what we are watching, without bringing race into it? I mean it's an ANIMATED movie for christ sake, the Avatar people are BLUE, yes the main character was white before, but he wasn't while he led his tribe to victory! Instead of looking at this movie from a racial view, why can't we look at it for the other themes that are going on; the themes that I think the producer is trying to portray. For example, big corporations making profits by destroying nature, and the lack of respect humans have for living creatures. This can correlate with our modern world, our society today better than it can relate to the fictional movie itself. But no, people don't think about the underlying, IMPORTANT, issues like that, we all of a sudden generalize race tone in movies. When can we stop talking about racial tones, and more about the bigger issues going on in the world today? I think that Brook's article is absolute baloney. He is reading into the movie way too much, just so he can have something to write about that will catch everybody's eye. Because everyone still gets sucked up into racial differences, and racial topics. Maybe I shouldn't even have an opinion until after I see it, but from other readings and blogs I have read about this movie (besides CBS), there were other beautiful themes that were going on in this movie, rather than looking at it from a racial stand point. I just wish people would look more at the positive, and beauty in things than looking at negativity, and trying to draw anything out of it that you want while making stupid generalizations. I don't think that James Cameron would appreciate Brook's statements about this movie carrying a theme of the "White Messiah fable". He worked long and hard for this movie, trying to make it something that is new for everybody and just give it the "wow" factor. I feel bad when I see people write up articles critiquing a movie about something that is way off line of what the producer is trying to create, it's sort of a smack in the face for the producer who slaved over making a brilliant movie.

I think the French government is of their rockers. Who cares of women want to cover their entire face with a burqa? I mean does it really cause any threat to the society they live in? That's like saying the government in the U.S. should ban men from wearing their hats backwards, or ban them from wearing their pants half way off their asses. If the burqa that these women are using to shield their faces is not posing any sort of threat to anyone in any way, I don't see why the French government really putting so much effort into banning them, and threatening to make it a thousand dollar fine. If the police in France are even saying that they don't think they will be able to prevent this, I don't see how it's going to stand in the first place. This just goes to show that when people, of higher power, don't agree with other cultures and traditions, they will try and completely diminish it. Well, whether the French government believes it or not, they will never be able to stop a culture from practicing their beliefs and rituals, like those women said in their interview they will do anything they can, even if it means to get fined or arrested, to stand up for their religion and their rights to practice their religion. If the French government actually does ban wearing burqas, I think this will open doors for governments all over to start banning things they don't agree with. What happened to freedom of speech? What happened to all is equal? Is a burqa really worth fighting over in court? It's unbelievable; at first I thought the CNN clip was a complete joke. I think it's sad that we are now in the year 2010 and we are still fighting a battle for equality. We still face racism, prejudices, and hatred of other cultures and different beliefs. When are we all going to get our heads out of our asses and realize that people are different, live different, share different cultural beliefs, rituals, and traditions? If different cultural beliefs and rituals are not harming anyone in anyway, besides interpersonal emotions, than I don't see why it's a problem. It's not like the French government is looking out for these women in anyway, because in reality the women WANT to wear the burqas. They don't feel oppressed to men, in fact in the interview some men don't even want their wives to cover up their faces. This comes down to women having the right to practice their religion and beliefs, and everyone should pose that right. Just because people don't agree with what these Muslim women are doing doesn't give them a right to tell them they can't practice their religion, no matter if your the government or a citizen on the street.
