Actually, alot of companies would pay for androids to work, and no, they wouldn't be mass produced and kept in factories for work, when the androids have multiple uses besides working at jobs. Besides, with laws in place, companies would not be allowed to not pay androids.
Companies will buy androids for their own purposes and use them however they see fit. The only real advantage to having an android work for a company would be that they'd only have to pay a one-time fee. Why the hell would a company pay ME on a consistent basis to loan them MY android for work when they could simply buy one of their own for a one-time fee? Trust me. They would not. If the average person could afford an android, then companies could afford them 100 times over. No reason for them to go through a 3rd party.

If that were so, then there wouldn't be so many companies franchising their businesses to other people, to run for them. The same ought to apply with androids. It costs money to maintain androids and space to store them. Many companies would prefer that the androids have a third party home to go home to.

You're talking about "outsourcing". Yes, companies pay other companies to tell them how to run themselves more efficiently, but NO company is going to pay an individual for the use of a robot. Trust me, it's not going to happen. They pay specialists who have companies in India to answer their phone calls for a dollar an hour, and that makes it worth it to them, and they may pay a single company to rent their pre-programmed androids by the hundreds, but the idea that they would pay thousands of individuals on a contractual basis to rent androids from them is completely unrealistic and will never happen. It's not fiscally wise or profitable.

No, I'm not talking about outsourcing. I'm talking about companies which franchise their businesses to independent owners, such as car dealerships. Companies already pay people, so hiring androids as a replacement for humans, wouldn't cost any more, though androids would be just as productive as any human employee, most likely the androids would be more productive.

Absolutely. Which is why the companies would buy them in bulk, outright from a wholsaler rather than pay a single individual every month for the use of a robot. It's not "hiring" an android, because an android is a machine. Therefore, they would be 1000 times more likely to BUY them outright and skip the middleman! Who is gonna pay more for an android? The company who rents it from thousands of individuals or the company who buys them in bulk at a 40% discount because of the quantity? Also, they would not have to write a monthly paycheck in perpetuity, which is huge. They would simply write a big, fat check and be done with it.

Then why do car companies not own the car dealerships outright and collect the profits which car dealers and salespeople collect. With laws in place, companies could be prevented from doing anything like you have exampled. I admit there is a possibility that companies might do something like that, yet considering how they currently do business, I still think they'd prefer having androids have a home belonging to humans.

Well, with laws in place, 5-year-old children would be allowed to drink alcohol and shoot heroin, but that is hardly the case and will never happen, so this is a moot point, because those laws will never be passed.

The reason car companies allow an individual to own a dealership is because these people BUY the dealership franchise for massive amounts of money (hundreds of thousands) and because the money they bring in and pay Ford, Chevrolet, etc. FAR ourweighs the loss they take by outsourcing (and yes, it IS outsourcing) their business. These people sell hundreds if not THOUSANDS of cars per year, a certain percentage of which they pay to the auto companies. This would not be the case with a lone person who has one flipping robot. The paperwork alone and the people they would have to hire to do the biling and invoicing, etc. would be enough to prevent them from renting singular robots from individuals. If anything, they would rent/buy them from a company. This will not happen, ever.

Yet, a few of America's major car companies are millions of dollars in debt.

True, that. Just imagine how in debt they would be if they paid a million individuals for the services they could purchase for 1/2 the cost from a single company.

Yet, companies already pay people to work for them. Sure, they could save money by not paying the same to androids as they do with humans. However, society wouldn't allow for them to do that anyways.

Monetarily, I just don't see it happening. No-one will pay an inanimate object personally for a service when they could own it outright. And the people are very few and far between who will fight for android/computer rights.

I suppose I like androids so much, because then I wouldn't have to worry about my disability as much. I'd have someone to help me get around better.

And THAT is a great reason to want androids to be functional parts of society. What a great world that will be when they can help the disabled, old and infirm without having to rely on human beings for such stuff. I see your point vividly there. And remember BP, although you may need physical help, we all of us need a great deal of emotional help, so you are not so very alone in needing assistance, regardless of the fact that the help you need may be physical. You are a great person and whoever you end up with will gladly do what she can to help you get around in exchange for your wonderful spirit.

nothing can substitute for the genuine warmth of the touch, and skin of a real human female/male. i beleive everyone should have someone to love sexually. just once even.

dolls and robots.. its almost as sad as calf implants and synthol for a bodybuilder

Unfortunately, not everyone will have that opportunity.

Calf implants, LOL. I saw something about this, like old dudes who play tennis and golf get them because they don't want chicken legs. but seriously it is so ridiculous looking to have these mighty, mighty calf muscles on a little pasty businessman. like a bicyclist's. it's nice to know men obsess about their bodies too, and we aren't alone in it.. :)

my friend told me that the latest craze for porn stars is having their A$&holes bleached. Bleached!!! Like Michael Jackson's face. I guess because it's on camera and they want it...white?? I didn't know they were a different color from the skin around it, then again I've never seen my own, and haven't watched much anal porn

My other friend in NYC is a broker and she says that guys in her firm go together regularly to get their colons cleansed, like a private butt-club. that seems a little gay to me.
all of this is so non-essential, it's like look at where our priorities are at. our asses and calves. god bless america

Those guys can have their dolls. I read an article where one guy bought one of these dolls, and then he cut her up really badly. The doll was horribly mutilated, and the guy sent it back to the guy he bought it from to be fixed. The man who sold the doll was freaked out. I mean why in the hell would you do that to something that isn't even breathing, and then what if she was real? I don't care how lonely I am I won't resort to buying some doll that does nothing but sit there and stare at you all day. This is just beyond strange.

Each to their own. But regardless of how "creepy" it is, I'd sooner put a bullet in my head before I ever let my dignity and self respect sink as low as to have a "sex doll" as a life partner....

I'm surprised that this thread was updated. Anyways, I have the same opinion now as I did when I've posted in this thread before.
