Personally I think it is horrid that one person would stoop so low to sell his fellow man for profit! So I ask all of you is it right? Is it morally right to sell people. So at the moment I am brain storming ideas to go into a Nation States Emancipation Proclamation. So I ask all of you put here ideas that would go into it.

No because they are paid for their services. It's their job. Some people are told to move to another company to help with the relationship. But they are not slaves.

My point excactly i was just bieng a perfectionist trying to point out what was wrong with your description without saying so, and anyway slaves are paid not neccesarily with money but with food and somewhere to live, for if they were not they would die and the master would have to buy more wich would be costly!

There already is a resolution that passed that outlawed slavery.
02-01-2004, 18:47

This is a good idea. In fact, it's such a good idea that it's already been adopted.

End slavery

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights Strength: Significant Proposed by: Monocerous
Description: The scourge of slavery yet remains in these progressive times. People are bought and sold like cattle, unable to determine their destiny. Their families are split apart; they are allowed no possessions of their own. They are beaten, chained, and tortured. Therefore, I propose that the following human rights be given to every peoples of this great world: - The right to leave her or his job, given two weeks' notice. - The right to own possessions. - The right to travel freely throughout their country. - The right to bodily safety from one's employer. - The outlawing of the selling or purchasing of people.

The difference between slaves and prostitution is that slaves are forced to work while prostitutes aren't.

wrong, once bought the prostitute is forced to work, otherwise who would pay them?

You have a point. It's not surprising given that prostitution is a result of capitalism as well as being capitalist itself.

No she isn't forced to work. She is free to stop working whenever she wants. The other person is also free to stop paying her. A slave, on the other hand, is not free to stop working.

What a prostitute does is called a "job". Most people have one.

slaves should be legal. coz if we diddnt have slaves, then the poor people wouldnt get any money, and then they couldnt get food, and then they would die. and also, who would work in places instead of slaves?

:roll: :lol:

We dont need slaves, we have minimal wage workers and children!

but slaves are funnier. coz if you employ lil children (which shoulnt be done) they die younger. so you should employ men to work as slaves. not women and children

Well, instead of slaves, in the normal tense, every1 should be given a job, not get paid but instead get given the excact amount of food and help they need, this way we will have nations whichproduce people with no greed and ambition. For other perfect views see my Posts about Pot!

There are thousands of way to enslave people. And we still use a lot of them, we just managed not to call them slavery. ;)

afcourse I understand that if you want to improve the world, you got to start somewhere. Just hope you won't sit on your ass celebrating your victory and think you just made the world alright if you pass this through. :)

Catholic Europe does not support the buying and seeling of slaves. It is a horrible, evil and inhumane practice which must be stopped immediately if it exists.
