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.

Humans are organic, intelligent, reasoning, living creatures.
Robots (in QC) are inorganic, intelligent, reasoning, living creatures.
Are humans defined only by the fact that they're organic? In fact, what is humanity? Is it bound to the body of the homo genus, or is it something more abstract? If another species evolves so that they think, act, live, reason, love like humans do, would we say they have humanity? What if that species were robots? What if the robot was made of organic parts, and those parts were assembled by humans?

--- Quote from: sitnspin on 25 Aug 2014, 22:42 ---Nice straw man argument. Dora has done plenty wrong. Breaking Jim's heart is not among them. I am curious as to what mindset could interpret otherwise.

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.
--- End quote ---
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
--- End quote ---
In order for there to be a "too", I would have to be doing straw man argument myself. And I'm not. My reasons are valid, yours isn't.
sitnspin:
I disagree, at least when it comes to Dora acting out of character. Tension with her brother has been there for years. Her relationship with and to him have been a major source of emotional turmoil for her her whole life. That she might decide it would be healthy to distance herself from him seems a natural progression of that. Whether or not it is a good choice, it is one that follows from the preceding event.
Fenriswolf:
This person has to be a troll. If not, they're so asinine as to be indistinguishable so I would vote for ignoring, for what it's worth.

Oh for God's sake. Assuming mention of him is allowed in here.
Robots are not people. People deserve inalienable rights. Robots do not. Has political correctness disabled ALL rationality these days?
