1. You refuse to acknowledge the 'ownership of people as property' rules in the biblical laws of 'servitude'. In fact, you seem to talk about every other rule in a fairly knowledgeable way so I have to assume you're aware that the rules explicitly stated that people were owned as property.
2. Your failure to directly answer the questions
So to your answers:
1. It matters not whether the society was feudal, agrarian, capitalist, communist, anarchist or anything else. So I'll rephrase my question to (hopefully!) make you commit to a direct answer: given the opportunity, would you own another person as property?
2. Once again a dodge. Your mortgage does not strip you of your right to self-determination. So once again, I'll rephrase: would you submit to being stripped of your right to self-determination?
Sum ergo sum
