How come you and Murat don't bring up the Japanese enslaving 5-10 million Chinese people during World War II and putting them in labor camps? How come you never talk about the Japanese taking nearly 700,000 Koreans as forced-labor slaves between 1944 and 1945? Why is all slavery simply about the American South and European colonialism for 200 years?

Dear Cali, when I said explicitly, I was against all slavery, I am sure I covered ALL slavery. Because if we are going into details, I am sure there will be a situation or two that you and I will miss.

As you summarized your position, I will mine as well: Slavery is an evil institution and was practiced by many civilizations who did not know any better (or even if they knew, it was just inconvenient to bring it up), but ignored by all major belief systems and their Gods who were supposed to know better, since they had an idea about pretty much everything else, from gay marriage to if you can mix dairy with meat in your diet or not

Cali, you do realize you started this thread. Murat and I did not start anything:eyepop

Interesting study put together by Gallup and the Walk Free Foundation finds that the global scourge of slavery has presently grown to include 35.8 million adults and children worldwide.

Food for discussion.

Sad. I was thinking about this the other day, watching an episode of Bones, where the subject was human trafficking , slave labour.

This centuries old "institution" is alive and well, in one form or the other.

And isn't it such a shame that Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens spent their lives writing books but not trying to eradicate it? I guess that they are as morally flawed as Christ was then!

Here is yet another example of the Old Testament being invoked by Christians to cause a menace in the world today.

Is there one of these every week?
