We do not support slavery.
That people in other countries are poorly paid in comparison to our own and we get our products from there is not slavery, its economics. Slavery is when people are owned by another person who has the power to punish and kill, like the slaves in the bible. Or are you arguing that the jews that built the pyramids were basically just low paid whiners?
Never mentioned the pyramids
Again I have posted the defination of slavery several times, and it is not limited to chattel slavery. (that is your defination of the word whether you understand it or not)
In truth Chattel slavery is only one type of slavery. And I have shown several examples (with Nike) that modern slavery has adopted chattel slavery practices.
In that people sign away large blocks of their lives and assure the company that they will stay no matter what it takes to fill quotas inorder to secure their jobs. In this way the company tells you when you come when/if you can leave when eat rest or whatever. If you miss work, workers have be humilated, beaten or jailed. All because people like you will not acknowledge slavery now is still slavery. they do not want to let their 'morality'/tool that makes them feel superior to all who have come before, and yet gives them what they want out of life..
For me that price is too high. keep your 'morality' I'll gladly wear whatever tag your 'morality' allows you to stick me with.
