Answer 2

Hi.. Is this an open question for a discussion. It all depends what type of slavery you are referring too. In a sense we still do have slavery here in America. Look at these big corporate businesses and industries that hire illegal aliens to work for a lesser pay rate. I would definitely call this a type of slavery. This is immoral and unethically wrong in what they are doing not too mention hurting others that have lost their jobs due to this type of process. These big companies have taken their business out of our country and placed them in other countries so they can pay the people less in wages. Wouldn't this be a form of slavery? Look at these women and children in our foreign countries that are subjected to labor and working for pennies on the dollar. I would say this is also a form of slavery and the women that are taken to other countries to be sex slaves. I don't feel that slavery ever left just a certain degree. Have a super one.

Answer 3

Depends on whether you have a captive supply of replaceable labor or not. The only way slavery can be economically feasible is if there is a virtually inexhaustible supply of fresh slaves. It doesn't pay to make the slave comfortable--you must pretty much work them to death and then replace them. In the U.S., where slaves were basically coddled, it proved a disaster. Better to give them low wage jobs and let them buy trinkets (forties, blunts) in return for high profits. And if you're really sharp, you'll join the elite upper class of the wealthy that pay no taxes--they'll buy your products while working class humans subsidize the expenditure through welfare.

Answer 4

No, there is not a strong case for the return of slavery. Why do you ask? Do you want to do someone's bidding without getting paid or with the possibility of getting flogged?

Answer 5

As to the return to the time until Abaham Lincoln emancipated slavery, theres no return like it. But we have a modern kind of slavery now wherein, instead of smuggling slaves by smugglers, many individuals from 3rd world countries are even paying smugglers just to have them be slaves in other countries.

Answer 6

DeShawn is grasping at straws. Any human being that is threatened with their freedom and livelihood should stand up and fight. No matter the color of thier skin. Someone that thinks otherwise is delusional.

There is never a justification for interfering with a person's family, freedom, or livelihood. Slavery was one of the biggest lies in USA history. People were lied to continuously to maintain slavery and lied to after. The ramifications for slavery can be disastrous. Nowadays, I think that it would be impossible to enslave any group. An attempt to enslave would probally cause civil war.

Answer 7

Of course not. People were out of their minds when they established slavery. Economically, it's a ridiculous idea because if you give workers an income, then they can go out and buy your and other people's products. Then the other people's workers will have an income to buy your products, and so on and so forth. So, people would have made more money if they gave workers an income and we would be way better off.

Answer 8

The book Bringers of the Dawn, says the ultimate form of tyranny, is when everyone is in complete control, and doesn't even know it!
What "freedom" do we have? The freedom to slave every day for a pittance, that gets taken right back from us.
Everything in our modern World is humans exploiting the needs of other humans.

Answer 9

2fine4U is right. "The ramifications for slavery can be disastrous."
Look at what has happened to America after bringing the sh*tskins over here from afreaka.

Answer 10

I can't think of any reasonable arguments in support of slavery.
