Many "sex slaves" also voluntarily entered into agreements. Once again, the rightwing demonstrates that it doesn't understand what slavery is
if it's voluntary...it's not slavery. sometimes it really is that simple.
sorry, sex slavery is not the topic. that is your red herring....
But, indentured servants were released from their contract, after the agreed upon period of time. Now, weren't they??
They couldn't leave DURING the contract
Under the law, a party to a contract can abrogate the contract and refuse to perform, and there were no criminal penalties. This was not true of indentured servants, which is why indentured servitude, as it was practiced in conlonial america, was a form of slavery
But thanks for once again demonstrating how ignorant the right is when it comes to slavery

Actually, in the beginning, white and black indentured servants worked together, and lived together, on plantations. It was only when some of them began intermarrying that indentured servitude was no longer an option for a few blacks, and all blacks became slaves.
funny how indentured servitude is only considered a form of slavery when doing so supports the left's position.
no one forced them into the contract.
but thanks again for demonstrating how far the left will go to deny reality.
Did that law exist in the 1700's?

following the logic of some in this thread, it should be okee dokee for German & Austrian politicians to wave the Nazi flag above their homes and govt. offices.
why? becuase Nazism simply represented the culmination of centuries of German nationalism.
:lamo Talk about an apples and llamas comparison.

Yet, the Left has no problem with Communists, who murdered 10 times more people than the Nazis ever dreamed of.
the Stars & bars + the Confederacy.
the Nazi flag + the Third Reich.
the comparison seems accurate to me.
I am a Social-Democrat and hate Communists and the USSR.
Right!.......................

Nah, they're just celebrating their "traditions" because everyone knows there's nothing political about a flag :roll:

Who, exactly, is this "left" who has no problem with Communists?
Do you mean that no one should have a problem with Communists, as Communism is dead and has been for at least 20 years now?
He means leftists like FDR and Truman, who fought the communists. :cuckoo:
