If you were enslaved, would you take your own life or just keep being a slave?

@TopCat revolt?

Yes I am revolting @popmol :) but no kingdom should be built on the backs of slaves!

@TopCat why not?

@popmol coz its cruel, and just plain wrong

@TopCat see the problem is, no one ever tells me why.

@popmol why it's wrong to keep slaves?

@TopCat yes.

@popmol I guess actually keeping slaves isn't wrong in itself, providing you care for then and treat them with kindness and respect.

It's an extremely dangerous and tempting system though open to abuse and exploitation, so best avoided

@TopCat so its not that big of a problem if you care for them decently. so its a bit like those families in america when blacks were slaves but some were pretty much just people who work for them and seen as human and not as somethign less?

thats a lie. until now theres not any system thats not tempting.

@popmol it's not just about that. being a slave you loose many aspects of freedom, freedom of speech for example. Of course you cannot express yourself as you would like through speech or any other art form. That's how capoeira arrived though too, to show people that when there is a will there is a way :)
But still, you loose many freedoms. You cannot go anywhere you want, you cannot do whatever you want, you have to live under certain rules, and even if you have a kind master, it is like a religious sect whereas people obey in their spiritual teacher. But they choose that, it didn't just came upon them.
That last thing I've said, that i think makes all the difference. Basically in slavery people are made to do things they didn't choose to, so our so called free will ceases to exist in many areas. Even what you want to eat, as a slave perhaps you can't have the choice of that..

@elafina aah yes they loose those freedoms :)
well yeah i mean eventually you'd be able to dig a tunnel through stone with a spoon if you put yourself up to it! but even then. it takes ages.

so you're saying most forms of modern slavery, as in sect religion, modern day work force have all one thing in common which makes it different from real slave trade and thats the freedom to choose? to be enslaved or not?
