Maleficus1055 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Simple question, really. If slavery was legal, would you own a slave, or be against it? To not cause any racial problems, let's say, hypothetically, that a new island was discovered that had an entirely new breed of people. They were considered inferior to every other known civilization on Earth, and their skin color was not the same as anyone known on Earth as of now. Note: I AM NOT PROMOTING SLAVERY. THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION, ASKING WHAT YOU WOULD DO. Tumblr. Follow me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisp Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 At this point, in first world countries, I don't think human slavery is really possible. Too many activists, too many laws that would get in the way. Now, here's the real question. If we created thinking AI robots, andh ad them do all the hard labor jobs for us, but then they became self aware, would we keep them as slaves?

3rkid Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yeah, I have this cotton plantation in my backyard that needs tending to. Of course I wouldn't have a slave. Who really needs one...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongtong Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I would buy a slave but I would give him/her freedom to do whatever he/she wants so that no one else could buy that slave and use him/her as an actual slave....if that makes sense. And what's wrong with their skin colour? What did they do to be inferior? :| 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

Star_Fox Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 at my age, there would really be no point in having one. i would go against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieMcD Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well, I suppose it would be rather useful, but it would go against my principals. I feel lazy and bad enough that my family has a housemaid, having a Slave would make feel pretty sick that I own another human life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickeley102 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 When I was in the states I worked with a south african brother sister team. Their father owned a vineyard and they lived through apartheid and its absolution. They were nice people (especially to our ecuadorian bosses) but honestly found it difficult to come to terms with why slavery is illegal. Its one of those things where if you grow up and its normal, you take it for granted. As for your question though, not in a million years. in b4 that robert destable guy ruins it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 in b4 that robert destable guy ruins it You missed an opportunity to pettily insult him by saying "robert detestable". Tisk tisk. I wouldn't own slaves. Slavery is no different than the control of the wealthy over the less fortunate. In fact, it pretty much is the fuedal system, but with more degradation. And far worse than factories, obviously. Command the Murderous Chalices!

Knotch_Blade Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'd do it, reap the benefits. Come on, if it's legal, I could get over the morale issues, and once I die, then everyone would start abolishing it.

Skull Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 If we were to stumble upon it with the morals we have now then I'd be against it totally. However, if I was born into a society where it was already considered acceptable, I might. I'd like to say that there's no way that I would, but in reality there's no way of knowing.
