First, i'd like to note that i love this manga and how CLAMP uses there very interesting views on love.

The only thing that bugged me was that they kept on repeating that that persocoms don't have emotions. Personally i believe that the way Chi's and Yuzuki's programs work, the ability to learn, and the seemingly universal aspect of persocoms where (at least this is how i see it) they show emotion because their program seems to replicate the base emotion rather than them just pretend to feel it, shows that they do have emotions. If you break it down, Chi's programing acts just as well as our brain would making her emotions just as real as our, and her pain just as bad as ours.

Though i agree with most of the strange approaches to humanity and love that CLAMP takes this is something that bugs me and i wanted to hear what other people have to say ( and hope that someone says i'm not crazy lol).

well they dont have emotion unless its programmed into them same with chi although she seems closer to being human then any of the other persocoms.

I agree completely with you.
You see I normally tend to think of humans as a giant program themselves.
Our cells have the programming to reproduce. We have that same programming.
We also have the programming to find food. We -also- have the programming to find stimuli which will produce emotions from us.
We have emotions because our brains, or you know our CPU, tell us to. Because we learned to have emotions a long time ago.

Persocoms have emotions, if they're programmed to (And heck I've seen some people who don't look like they're programmed to have emotions either), and humans have the same sort of function for emotions.
