What? The legal notion of "legal personhood" and actual personhood are not comparable, not even legally, and especially not in the context of the discussion at hand.
- djb_hackernews 17y agoparent is referring to this: http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/01/analysis-the-personhood-of-corporations/ http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/01/analysis-the-personhood-of... which was generally interpreted to mean the SCOTUS decided corporations are people.

- cynicalkane 17y agoPlease see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_person http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_person "This legal fiction does not mean these entities are human beings, but rather means that the law allows them to act as persons for certain limited purposes..." Emphasis mine. This stuff isn't even on topic, but when people insist on insulting my intelligence with snide pseudo-logical comments, I will insist on correcting them.
