At what point does something get the right to be called a person? What do they need to do to deserve that?

Has anyone ever thought about it?

I don't know. Why would you? Because others have been saying you're not?

It shouldn't depend on what others call you, because I feel like the only reason they'd take personhood away from someone is to make themselves feel better about doing awful things.

If enough people believe something, does that make it true?

You're the second person who's said that.

[hawkwardness]

Nope. Not in my book. Half the people here would probably say I'm not a person and neither are any other hawks.

[synthsized]

Well the other half would definitely believe you're a person, with all of the people saying if you feel it, you are it.

[hawkwardness]

Yeah. That's good to see. But personally, I don't care if anyone disagrees. I know I'm a person.

[synthsized]

I suppose that's all anyone can ask for.
