My grand dad had a metal knee, is he a cyborg? Or how about people with pace makers? The term cyborg generally conjures an image similar to this, regardless of exact dictionary definition.

If you wear glasses, you're a cyborg. Knee replacements, pacemakers, deep brain stimulation; all cyborgs.

Which is awesome.

Uh, not really. To be a cyborg, you need actual mechanical, robotic parts. So a pacemaker is a hell of a lot closer to counting than a knee replacement or glasses. Those are more prosthetics.

cy·borg (sbôrg)
n.
A living creature that has certain physiological processes aided or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices.

I don't give a shit what the common image of a cyborg is, just because its common doesn't mean its right.

Again, does not cover metal joints or glasses, as they are neither mechanical nor electronic.

I'm not disagreeing, I'm just saying that someone doesn't stop qualifying as a cyborg just because they don't have a fully mechanical limb or half a roboface.

ARGH Miranda's mad at me and I don't have a high enough score to make her unmad at me. Hopefully I'll be able to rectify this before we go through the Omega 4 relay or I will be PISSED.

So have a better Paragon/Renegade score to diffuse the situation originally, jerk. I think those scenes in general were great though, because they could piss you off. Games, RPGs especially, should piss us off sometimes.
