I wouldn't want a robot that's likely to get pissed off and become irrational, they've already decided we taste like bacon (click the link). o_O

This could go one of two disastrous ways: we could end up with Skynet (we all know 'going with your gut' is a good way to end up in senseless wars)... Or we could go the Sirius Cybernetics Corp. route and end up with Marvin the Paranoid Android, and robots that take more personal days than their human counterparts.

Doesn't sound like a very good idea to me. People (and other animals) sometimes do dumb things as a result of fear. Why does anyone think that giving robots emotions would be a GOOD thing?
