What sex are corporations?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Since the United States Supreme Court has now declared corporations to be individuals, I was just wondering, what sex do they tend to be? How can you tell? What are their mating practices? Social Security numbers? Can an American citizen really be legal without a SSN? If corporations can exist as individuals, why can't dogs and cats have the same rights since they breath and eat? And if breathing and eating isn't a qualifier, why do we lose rights once we die?

I'm so confused.

3. Duers are quick.

There's already a thread on this subject.

Hmmm...I think I want to marry Goldman Sachs without a prenup.

[Cleita]

Or Nestle's. I love chocolate, too. n/t

12. Godiva, even better

Aren't they kinda French? :*

21. Can two corporations of the same sex get married?

Just askin'

31. As someone pointed out on another thread,

this depends on what state they "live" in.

If one "lives" in a post office box in the Caymans, and the other "lives" in a post office box in Argentina, and both are gay, and they want to have their wedding and reception at one of our big round stone barns in Iowa (website info provided upon request) . . .

I wonder just what sort of paperwork they have to complete before the ceremony.

The mind boggles.

2. I was thinking the same thing. Isn't my cat a person?

Isn't my telephone. If AT&T is a person, then my telephone should be one too shouldn't it? It's really very, very odd.

4. They are asexual, and they do get married and divorced.

They even spawn new corporations.

7. Is a hostile takeover a legally approved rape?

16. Always has been.

5. the courts should all be immediately flooded

with challenges exactly like yours. thousands of them in every appeals court.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Why not.

If you can't beat them...

[dhpgetsit]

6. Right now I'd like to put a corporation in the hospital.

Or even 6 feet under.

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. That would be one big hole.

8. What is a person?

I've thought that same thing too. Dogs ,cats, my mortgage are individuals.
But we all know that this is just to give the rich and powerful more rights and votes than the average real person.

14. It kind of puts to rest that whole thing about robots or cyborgs or

clones. Just incorporate them and they become legal individuals.

9. I think primarily they're male because by far most CEO's are male.

They actually do have a kin to SS #'s... Fed ID's. Mating practices....anyone or anything that will benefit you. Sprry, dogs & cats can't press that button on the Diebold machine, nor do they usually get the chance to sniff the behinds of the politicians. If they did, the dogs & cats would probably make much better decisions that the humans or the corporations!

10. Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific Railroad declared them people in the 1800s

Sort of. It was actually a clerk's error in the notes.

What happeed today was that election reforms were overruled. Not unlike the Missouri Compromise in Dred Scott.

I think this is actually a good thing. The SCOTUS determines law based on the Constitution. When they are obviously off the charts (or the case they are hearing shows that the law is not clear), congress can then amend.

Corporate personhood is at the ROOT of all that is wrong with this country. Perhaps it took this move by SCOTUS to make Congress act on it.

17. Maybe it wasn't an error...

said clerk was a former railroad executive.

[Ruby the Liberal]

27. That I did not know.

*sigh*

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. I think everybody knows that funny business occurred in the 1800s.

The question was, did this Supreme Court have the intelligence to think through the flaws, and the answer is no. We are in the age of Idiocracy.

[FiveGoodMen]

20. "congress can then amend" -- but they won't since they are the property of these new persons

[Ruby the Liberal]

28. ...and it is certainly easier to listen to a bevy of lobbyists than to thousands of We The People

Yanno, the ones they are elected to represent and all.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

13. transnational

[Craftsman]

15. I do not know which but they will screw you anytime they can.

[KamaAina]

19. They must be trans!

And you know what that means -- the right now thinks they're EE-VULLL!!!

:rofl:

[rucky]

22. If two corporations are the same gender, can they legally "merge"?

[Ruby the Liberal]

29. Bonus points!

:D

[Alias Dictus Tyrant]

23. Grape flavor! nt

[marginlized]

24. If They're Citizens ...

do they pledge allegiance to their country of origin? Do their citizenship responsibilities include employing other citizens of their country of origin over those offshore? What about hiding wealth in offshore accounts?

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. They make lousy patriots, that's for sure.

[JBoy]

26. Isn't bankruptcy like euthanasia?
