The ClayTaurus said:You continue to fail to understand that slavery is involuntary. If you want to go back and talk about the working class that was labeled slaves, then fine. But that, just like kinky sex fetishes, is not slavery. It's something else that was labeled as slavery incorrectly.
And as for your argument that slavery was a huge step forward a long time ago, that somehow legitimizes it from being evil at that time?
If I have an anger problem, and I take it out by killing people, but then slowly work my way from killing to crippling to severely injuring to assault to breaking someone's stuff, does that make mean that anything following killing isn't evil just because I was able to control myself more? It's a faulty line of logic; it's justification of one evil because it's better than the alternative evil.
Slavery = involuntary
Work = voluntary
It's that simple. And when you look at something that simple, lenses don't even matter. Slavery is evil; it always has been, it always will be.
Are you sure you aren't defining slavery as many people have through the years and not necessarily using the "correct" or, one of the "correct" ways to define the word?
You're definition above isn't necessarily always the case.
