Where would the money come from...we could start by looking to those who exploit them - as we do, couldn't we? By we I mean us...since you're not interested.

Quote:Or do you not understand your blessing on slavery is granted when you continually buy products slaves produce? you may want to pretend that you maintain your moral high ground, but when black friday rolls around and a big box store is door busting a 65" next gen HD tv for less than 200 dollars, no one can say no, or better yet no one is boycotting produce meat or dairy coming out of central/south America. Doesnt anyone remember you are not supposed to have access to the same fresh fruits and vegetables year round? That's why we canned and froze them for so long.Haven't we already discussed this? You don't have an inventory of my household goods, nor do you know where my food comes from. You're bitching, literally, about nothing.
Quote:You can pretend that you are better but where you spend your money says differently. So either you are a 'bad person' or we condone this type of slavery, and that is why it gets renamed. Not to mention their is a real need on both sides for this. If we just owned our deeds and stop covering them up, we could regulate slavery so that it would not have to be an all bad thing.Better, perhaps..than you, but I'd hardly call it pretending. Fight the good fight in defense of slavery Drich, you're all alone.
