This is a straw man. I never argued this point. Just I never argued the point that Sven can do no right.

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?

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?

Do you actually have an argument beyond "just because"?

--- Quote from: Fenriswolf on 25 Aug 2014, 23:19 ---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.
--- End quote ---
Ah. I get it. Having a view that doesn't agree with the majority is trolling now.
I guess the "tolerance" mantra only applies to those who agree with you. Typical.

It would help if you presented a reasoned argument.

--- Quote from: sitnspin on 25 Aug 2014, 23:16 ---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.

I just don't read Dora as being someone who would opt to cut someone from her life. I would expect her to confront Sven, then, if that confrontation went badly, decide to cut him out of her life. Just jumping from "my brother did something slightly assholeish!" to "toxic person, out of my life." does not fit with how I've read Dora in the past.
To make this snap decision, of this magnitude, does not seem in charcter for Dora. Sure, she has had snap reactions in the past, but they were over relatively minor things from her perspective (A girl flirted with Marten! or I'll just look at Marten's porn, it's not a big deal) She didn't forsee that her actions would have consequences of magnitude. But when she broke up with Marten she did it with forethought. I see cutting someone out of your life on a magnitude above breaking up with someone. I don't think Dora would put less thought into cutting Sven out of her life than she would put into breaking up with Marten.
