Prove to me that you are a real person...

**WakataDreamer** · 08-19-2008 06:28 AM

...and not just some insanely (insanely) complex computer program of some kind.

Go on, give it a try.

If someone comes up with a logical way to do this I will be shocked

I am not real, and thereby forfeit my place in this competition. On the bright side though, you're all crazy for acknowledging my existence.

**High Hunter** · 08-19-2008 10:46 AM

Comeputer programs cannot be insane. I am insane.

I am a real person.

**Frishert** · 08-19-2008 12:49 PM

What's a computer program?

*bleep*

**-Blakren-** · 08-20-2008 12:55 AM

I bleed, so that makes me real... right?

State the requirements that must be met before you accept someone as a "real person."

**supreme** · 08-20-2008 02:28 AM

I think, therefore I am........i guess that proved nothing!

**Man of Steel** · 08-20-2008 02:30 AM

Prove to me that I'm not.

Aw, I was going to use "stab my arm and then tell me i'm a computer program," but you beat me to it.

Hmm, computer program... naw, theoretically I could actually be a biological machine (or even a real machine in the middle of a vast conspiracy) that was programmed at birth/creation/activation/constantly to assume that I think, and act acordingly.

I agree, what are the qualifications? If being a person means pumping blood and a thinking brain, I am!

**drmrgrl** · 08-21-2008 03:26 PM

Requirements: prove that you have free will (if you will

Yeah, however machines can malfunction (go insane, if you will).
