You want to understand me? Because you don't want to have less injuries?!

You. Are. A. MORON! A moron! A big, fat moron!

Because you don't want to get hurt? What a stu--

I wonder, are those part of your orders too? You can't be efficient if you're completely bandaged, right?

Is it possible for a human to feel no emotions at all?

Can I ask you

But would such a person even be considered human any longer?

[am_not_an_angel]

Just because of that, they wouldn't see a person as human anymore? Then what would that person be?

[warconductor]

Possibly. Are emotions our defining characteristic?

Possibly a robot, if they had most of their body replaced with machine.

Possibly a monster, if you're of that frame of mind.

[am_not_an_angel]

But there's got to be more than that. Animals have emotions, too.

From your choices, it looks like it's a bad thing to feel no emotions.

[compactcrucifix]

I think it's possible. But it takes practice.

[am_not_an_angel]

That would be one hard practice.

[compactcrucifix]

Depends how much it's worth to you, I guess.

[i_themagician]

I think so; it's sort of an odd sensation.

[am_not_an_angel]

Really?

[i_themagician]

Yes; I'd almost consider it an emotion in and of itself.

But that would be really paradoxical and we shouldn't go throwing words like that around just willy-nilly.

[am_not_an_angel]

I see.

It would.

Roger.

[am_not_an_angel]

You were ordered to protect me, right?

[not_an_amateur]

Affirmative.

I-It's possible for those who aren't human to feel love........ I guess it would make sense if there are humans who can't feel anything.....

[am_not_an_angel]

So if you can't feel anything, you aren't human?

[sulky_skullkey]

D-Do you have to be human to feel.......?

[am_not_an_angel]

I don't know. That's why I asked.
