I'm with Parkers i am generally pissed off and amused Dirch by your ignorance and also offended that you would think these sort of things.
You Dirch have no sense of humanity....
I don't generally use words like idot or stupid, but you guys are broader lining the actual meaning of these two words so much so nothing else seems to fit.
Either way I will try again.
The bible supports slavery. Why? Because God knows we can not live in communities/societies/cities/countries without having these social economic structures being built on the backs of or maintained by active slavery. (If you donot think this is true then here is an oppertunity for you to list out countries that has not been constructed this way or is not being currently being maintained this way.)
Now because we all are living off the backs of slaves, God/the bible would hold us to account for reaping these benfits, in that we are to ensure that our modern day slaves do indeed have all the rights and respect as the rest of the brothers and sisters in Christ.
The problem I see is that you all want to pretend that unless a black man is chained up in a field forced to pick cotton for no money, that whatever else is happening is not slavery. The problem with this closed minded (the world is flat) way of thinking? It is not consistant with the actual verifiable defination of slavery. While the black man I described falls under that defination of slavery, the word slavery is not completely defined by that one example.
To limit the defination of slavery to the 18th century's version, is to not take responsiablity for all those who live and work under the rules of the companies we directly support with our dollars. This does keep prices low, but it also allows these companies to operate with very little oversite or accountability. If the stupid in our collective soceities keep and maintain the 18th century defination of slavery, it allows companies who employ slaves to do whatever they like just so long as they don't chain black people in cotton fields. This may sound good to an idiot, but even so There is a lot of terrible things between being chained in a cotton field and the minimum wage/work requirements the rest of us enjoy.
One more time. Slavery is alive and well, and just because we renamed it so the self righteous can sleep at night,it doesn't mean it is not still slavery. We need slavery until we can make robots to do these jobs otherwise life as we know it would stop.
