RE: Do we own our own lives? A discussion on the morality of suicide and voluntary slavery.
December 12, 2012 at 2:07 pm
In responding strictly to the title of the thread, there is NO such thing as ownership. All we have in life in reality is conditional control and temparary control over things. I hate the absurd implication that there is such a claim as voluntary slavery. There IS voluntary submission and forced submission. There is no such thing as voluntary slavery.
Is it possible to be an Uncle Tom? Yes, even today you can have minorities who support an idea that goes against their self interest, such as a Log Cabin republican. You can also have a wife who likes the idea of a man telling them what to do.
A few years back I ran into an old couple, and the woman said "It is the man's role to take care of the woman". That made me want to vomit.
Slavery by proxy of definition is not consensual. Submission by consent is NOT slavery. Slavery is the lack of consent and requires no mutual agreement and ammounts to might makes right. So the title of this thread is tottally absurd and logicaly assinine.
There is no such thing as "voluntary slavery". And how the hell did this get tied into suicide?
