I've heard some people say some stupid things in my life but equating the morality of owning human beings as slaves to owning a collection of Circuit boards that display pretty lights on a screen? You've managed to place in the top three. Congrats.

Touch the mirror, Stolas. Touch the rippling mirror. The real you will shortly be ejected into a sewer.

I like to think of Stolas like a dirty old bum. He's comin' up to me, and I'm 'bout to sock him one, cause, you know, he's a dirty old bum, but then I say, "Wait a minute, there's something... I don't know, special about this guy."

Aristotle would have laughed at your bias towards owning people giving as much consideration to a slave as you give to your circuit board.

He was saying that Aristotle viewed slaves the way you view computers. Mere pieces of property to be used and traded about.
So long as you were supposed to be a slave, Aristotle thought it right and proper that you were a slave and would argue against your freedom. If you were not supposed to be one, though, he would argue for it.
