Yes, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.  Tongue

Seriously, if someone wants to make a case that benevolent slavery (one of the many degrees of slavery which Jorm brought to the table last night) was actually a win-win scenario, I would consider the argument open-mindedly.

Being a well-treated slave in order to work off a debt and then going free sounds better than the alternative of debtor's prison.

So in your objective morality your mind can be changed on what is moral or immoral?
