    A “person” isn’t always a human. I care about humans, not whatever our current legal system calls a “person.”

    Things are declared “persons” to confer them rights. Person in the OP wants a thing to be conferred rights but still own the profit gleaned from its labor (to the exclusion I should add of the rest of humanity).

    Fuck the person in the screen cap.

      Seems like you’re reading into it a little too much. Either way, laws don’t dictate my morals. Human rights don’t extend to machines.

        Humans are machines. If ones made of metal become sentient why wouldn’t they have rights?

            Called it. You’re a bot.

            Do you always dehumanize those who disagree with you?

            €6 says you’ve used the term “NPC” pejoratively.

                No, just when I find it humorous.

                You find dehumanizing others humorous? You should work on being less terrible.

                And I’d take that bet ;)

                Prove you never have and I’d pay you, otherwise I will forward you a list of charities you can send your loss to. sarcastic smiley

                  No, the dehumanizing part isn’t the humorous part. I’m sorry if I offended you, most people I know personally would find it funny and not take offense. It was meant to be light-hearted, but maybe it didn’t come off that way.

                  Prove you never have and I’d pay you, otherwise I will forward you a list of charities you can send your loss to.

                  Why is the entire burden of proof on me? Shouldn’t you have to prove I’ve never called a real person an “NPC?”

                    No, I shouldn’t. I never claimed it was a particularly fair bet. Probably should check the terms before accepting.

                    And the main point I was trying to make, which obviously got muddied by my misguided humor, is that we (in the US, at least) already classify corporations as “people,” which is something I strongly disagree with.

                    I refuse to respect corporations like I respect human beings, and I don’t think they deserve human rights or the influence they have over our government.
