    Rydar,

    Yes, I have nothing against (pick your color choice:blacks, whites, reds, yellows). I think everyone should own a slave.

    Oh, welcome to the board.

    Ooh, ooh! Enslave me! I'm first in line... NOT!!!

    My family fought and died to end this scourge in America.

    This is the end of it: The Bible of course encourages, in principle, the kind treatment of all who come across you - whatever the social conventions of the day are. But slavery is just plain evil - and if it exists in a country that doesn't even dignify its slaves with the name, then it is still evil. That's what's going on in those countries you mentioned, Rydar. Slavery without a name, rules, or tradition to dignify it even a little bit.
