Watching my daughters classmates, I see plenty of examples to the contrary.

What if I want to bring my Marilyn Monroe-bot. Into which category does that fit?

A machine that allows access to even more human beings.

Access nonetheless. Also, all the knowledge of the world.

Spent wisely, this could be a productive year.

Given the choice in the poll, i.e. woman on pills who's 100% obedient I think I'd rather use the time to work on another degree.

Given the hypothetical and patently ridiculous nature of the question, I don't think that sentencing an actual person to prison is at risk here.

Keep in mind that "100% obedient" is akin to the wishing for a lifetime's supply of wishes scenario: You could always just tell her to be herself. Being obedient only makes someone a slave if there's someone else willing to enslave them.

With most of the ladies I've met, "being yourself" generally doesn't involve hanging out in a men's prison, so with that, you lose Internet and the girl.

Nice job breaking it, hero.
