Never argue with an idiot. He'll just drag you down to his level of intelligence and beat you with experience.

Define slavery.

Humans somehow forcing other humans do work for no money and little to no benefits other then a place to stay and food. Slavery is the cheapest of cheap labor.

I define slavery as chattel slavery, where humans are treated as property. What you describe, mkfffe, is kind of like sharecropping expanded to include all types of industry.

I forgot the property part. Sue me. I thought that was obvious from the word slavery.

It's been a long week. I hate when I get stressed like this. But no problems, I hope I didn't insult you.
