    So, if corporations are not people (your argument #1), then how do corporations have the ability to apologize (your argument #2)?

    Those two arguments form a paradox. This paradox must be cleared for rational argumentation to continue...

    if corporations are people, why were they invented, when we already had people?

    Argument by repetition fallacy. Redirection fallacy. Corporations are not radios.

    Like any business, they are organizations of people.

    but not people.

    there were people before corporations. so why did they devise corporate entities when people already existed? if they're the same thing it just be an illogical redundancy.

    Here, you are reverting back to the same false equivalence fallacy that was addressed earlier.

    Radios do not consist of people. They don't need people inside of them to function. Corporations, on the other hand, do consist of people and do need people inside of them to function.

    Radios are not corporations. Corporations are not radios.

    Continued irrational reasoning. You have yet to clear this paradox. It must be cleared in order for rational discussion to continue.

    Corporations consist of HR reps? Are those HR reps not people?

    Yup, and then some people decided to organize themselves into corporations. That organization of people doesn't suddenly make persons into non-persons... How is time related to this discussion?

    People are people, no matter how they decide to organize themselves. They don't suddenly become non-persons.

    yes people are people, but corporations are legal entities only and not people.

    not good enough. your arguments are prima facie retarded. and you still didnt explain why corporations were devised, when we clearly already had people.
