not true, because slavery requires (as mentioned before) the infringement of peoples rights, and as a society we decided to ban laws and structures which infringe individual right to be more efficiant as a society and to give every person the right to determine their own lives.
By obstructing these rights to self determination - you are also deconstruction your own rights.

Quote:Also, people contradict. And?

I dont know if you are aware of this - but contradicting oneself is something one usualy attempts to avoid since it underlines weaknesses in ones intellectual capacities and makes ones points invalid.

Quote:Concerning biology, it depends. Our knowledge of genetics is not total.


Which does not give the basis for baseless assumtions on racial supiriority.

Quote:As for my age/posting habits, well if people choose to lie and obfuscate the truth at hand, then I will continue to post.

What does "obfuscate" mean?

And you yourself are not willing to fully explain what you actualy want.

Quote: If this means "annoying" others, then so be it. Healthy people learn to handle "annoyances".

You should be aware that you will probably be banned from this forum if you only seek to annoy people.
