PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A group of scientists who set out to build a robot with human social skills may have actually improved on humanity: Their creation courteously steps aside for people, smiles during conversation and politely asks directions.

Who says that politeness is perfect. Wont politeless and friendlyless be more likely to get you killed in the world of animals?? Surely perfect is having the skills to stay alive to procreate and continue the species?? I bet this robot wouldnt get anywhere if it was lost in the woods and walked up to a bear and 'politely asked for directions'!?? The bear might smash it to bits and i think this is true in many other situations. I know what i described i.e. perfect is having the skills to stay alive to procreate sounds like the alien from the films lol but the principal is basically the same. Even if it is an ugly f*cker lol
