Would you own slaves because the American founding fathers did?

no, i wouldn’t. it’s not that hard to answer that question. that wanna be fire dept guy obviously wants to be dramatic and make you think you need to guess his response. he is a classic red pill woe is men kind of guy.
if you were so much more mature and grown up than me,, you would know that unfortunately nicknames is not something you get to pick in life.. they just stick to u, and whining is the best we can do to try and erase them.. so red pill guy is rly quite a good one for you i think. i have encountered you several times now and you just fit the bill. and you are a firefighter!! red happens to be favorite color also 👹[image] @pdockal

It's a tough call. One the one hand, Leviticus 25:44-46 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." appears to permit the practice so long as my slaves come from Canada or Mexico.

On the other hand, Exodus 21:16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper’s possession." seems to discourage the practice if said slave is abducted involuntarily.

I'm on the fence...
you are on the fence? are you seriously using the Old Testament to justify your racism and bigotry? okay GROOMER. @GerOttman

Probably not

Treatment of people as property is just wrong.
Honestly, I think most would simply do whatever they were raised to do... which obviously we have been raised that slavery is wrong, therefore we find it horrible. But if we were raised where it was acceptable, then that might be a different story.


But I do like the idea of WILLING slaves (but some would suggest those aren't really slaves, but slaves in name only)

Pretty sure some folk didn’t want but did just like soldiers who never wanted to be in the nazi regime

Not easy to answer in their shoes but today I can easily say as no because the circumstances I’m living in are differentz

no. I might get prosecuted for such a move.
we could all use help, but we have to pay for it fair and square. i forgot to respond to your question! how rude. since you are being so honest, i will also. i wouldn't, but cool thing is, most men are so horny they would be a willing victim if that ever came to any sort of push in that direction. so that wouldn’t be rape. i would seduce him, and make him think it was his idea. 😈 @lumberjackslam

that would probably work @deathfairy unless he was gay. but you could also take him as a servant to clean for you in exchange for sexual favors, like a sex slave. You would not even get in any trouble for that.
that sounds like trouble. if someone wasn’t into me and actually gay and not into women at all and wouldn’t enjoy the experience, i would have a hard time getting into it.

that’s why i did a double take to your comment.

anyways, i believe we have squared this topic up, and i am satisfied you are not a slave desiring man. @lumberjackslam
