Perhaps not. But it's still retarded.

I don't see the two situations as being the least bit similar.
The difference is human slaves are living, organic creatures. Just because something is wrong in one situation, doesn't mean it's unilaterally wrong in ALL of them. Otherwise it's just as wrong to use a moving van carry your stuff across a distance as forcing a person to carry everything by foot.
Or do you actually pay your washing machine?

No, Im actually right on the money.
And yes, breaking Jim'sa heart IS amoung them.
Excuse me for actually having empathy for the guiy.

If my washing machine was a sapient being, I would. I fail to see how being "organic" has anything to do with. Human (and other bilogocical organisms) bodies are machines as well, just built out of different materials through a different process.

In what way are you "right on the money"?
Yes, we get it, any time a woman doesn't continue to go out with a guy after the first date, she's a heartbreaker.
I can do straw man arguments, too
TRVA123:
I am not a fan of this current arc. It really seems as though the plot is being forced into a direction as opposed to organically building there. Plot driven, as opposed to character driven.
In my opinion, Sven and Dora are not acting in character. Sven was presented as much more socially savvy than he has been recently. Dora was presented as someone who is overprotective of her friends, but who also loves her brother. Arguing that there are thingswe haven't seen motivating this decision.. no. This is a story telling format. Assumedly any plot development big enough to trigger this reaction from Dora would have been shown. If it was something from Dora's past... maybe, but nothing has been hinted at, as opposed to Faye witnessing her fathers suicide, which was heavily foreshadowed.
This is the second time during this arc that I have been jolted out of the overall story because characters are acting so out of their norm. I think Jeph is forcing the plot in a specific direction in order to make some sort of overall point, and I'm curious as to what that point is, but I really don't think he is planning his arc very well.
