Are you saying that slavery shouldn't be frowned on and someone is a like a trained sheep if they do?
If you are so accepting of slavery why don't you get your family all corralled up and build a pyramid for me?
Slavery should be scrutinized dissected and every case being discussed reviewed, so we can understand it and our collective roles in and benefiting from slavery. Not turn off our minds at the first mentioning of the word and run from it.
So no to answer your question in a word. Not all slavery is bad. Modern day slaves in places like china and Mexico who have sold themselves and their families to corporations and industry (that we western consumers keep in business by buying products) eek out a living by what little they are given.. And it is because you and people like you who default to stereotypes and believe slaves either build pyramids or pick cotton, are the cause and reason modern day slaves have it so badly. You people believe your self righteousness has ended slavery, but it hasn't. All anyone has to do is work outside your stereotypical understanding of what a slave is and they are not slave owners. It is your unwillingness to scrutinize and examine each example of slavery as it comes up that allows the people who work for less than a survive able wage, thus forcing every member of the family to work just to survive.
Not every instance of slavery is bad, and if we learn to accept it we could then look to regulate it as the bible/God saw fit to do.
