Three Little Questions

[Sir Bearington]

Just excuse me folks, my brain is feeling sluggish.

I only just figured out this thread was about slavery. Yikes.

This is just a suggestion, but you might take a few hours off and lurk a bit.  Read what shit is about.  That will help you to keep from sticking your foot in it every third post.

Expanding the word cheapens it, IMO.

Slavery is an abomination from which you can't just walk away.

Feeling trapped by society is another, lesser matter entirely.

I agree that its a lesser matter. Which is what I said earlier.

Chattel Slavery we're slowly getting rid of as a society
Indentured Slavery and Sweat Shop Slavery we're not doing so well on.
The other stuff, maybe it will always be here (necessary ill as I said).

For me, it doesn't cheapen it, it brings it the whole issue into focus. Some would argue that getting paid shit to work in a dangerous environment isn't 'slavery' its just working at a crappy job for crappy pay. I think by pointing out that slavery exists in many forms, we circumvent that sort of thinking. But thats just my opinion.

Do you use the word "rape" this loosely as well?

Let's play the redefining game! Words mean what I want them to mean!

LETS RAPE WORDS!

In england "rape" is a kind of plant/crop.

It's called CANOLA in this century, bub.
Otherwise that shit in the store would be called "rape oil".

There's also Broccoli Rabe (the long leafy bits off the stem), that used to be Broccoli Rape.

No wonder George HW Bush hated it.
