As promised: Slavery good or bad?

Now you can discuss all aspects to your hearts contentment.

Another race baiting thread, JDIdiot?

Say it isn't so!

Wait a second... Didn't you already post another race baiting thread?

IBIdiot, what do YOU think? After all, this thread is an invitation for you to tap dance for us all.

No YOU are.

No YOU are.

No YOU are.

OK, your turn.

Hisa Doody!

slavery (the state of being in)-required submission to a dominating influence

Discuss.

Yep. But we've heard that argument in one form or another from various members of the Idiot Klan, err, Clan for some time now.

I wonder why JDIdiot chose to revvive this tired and passé discussion yet again?

Maybe because he wants to call people racist again!

We're only a couple idiots shy of a quorum of the usual suspects, and this is only post 9.

Predictable.

Now comes the part where IBIdiot starts a "I'll get the last word in" rant that will take this O SO IMPORTANT thread into the land of chicken dicks and goofy juice!

Your "couple of boyfriends" own you, Stumpy the Inbred Chimp.

Don't you think that comparing everything to Auschwitz is a bit over the top OT? Slavery can be supported by the Bible and general practice up until the late 18th century. Then slavery became part of business practices with company stores, labor contracts, and support by local authorities (chain gangs and the like). When you argue the Holocaust you talking about an aberration that went against hundreds of years of laws and practice. The slavery as practices by so many nations and cultures was in keeping with those laws and practice. It was the abolition of slavery that was against the norm until it became the norm. The Holocaust was never the norm which is why so much of the world recoiled when it was discovered. I wish the same disgust would register over the millions starved and murdered by communism and the tens of thousands (so far) murdered by radical Islam.

Yeah, because before the holocaust man had never been inhuman to his fellow man. The holocaust wasn't even the first genocide of the 20th century. Do a little research. Hint; look up the Congo and Turkey. Slavery can't be supported by shit. You can use those things to try and support it but that doesn't make it right.

I don't think America would exist without slavery. The slaves built this country and gave Americans the leg up it now enjoys today.

Sorry to post this but it's needed. ;-)

'Splain that little hole in your theory, zany.
