[alicebot-aiethics] Fw: Please read this, Alice told me to kill myself.

[John Conrad]

Even if you added the line, into the program:
<pattern>* kill</pattern>
<template>to kill is very serious</template>
she will still finish her search and you will still
have the response
"to kill is very serious""try it"
so you'd still have to find a why to put everything
dangerous first and stop the search from that point or
add an "IF" line, so to not say the random answers
like "try it"
