Well I just ask myself, "Hey, would I enjoy being enslaved?"
Since the answer I come up with is no, I assume others don't want to be slaves either. Taking away someone's rights and freedom doesn't feel moral at all to me. We're all human beings. Each of us deserves to be able to live our lives as we wish.

May I ask what your background is, sir?

most of the Hidden Worlds human pop are not slaves like you would think

even youre slaves were not slaves, they were free in there minds, our slaves are basically treated the same as our citizens, accept that they cannot take goverment seats, or leave unless there masters will it, and they cannot dis obey an order unless it endangers there life or anothers

i come from the Rose Nations one of the mega nations in the hidden world(its a false name that refers to a religious belief, it is a name that allows me to refer to it but not use Common,Sacred,Imperial, Ancient, my peoples native tounge, or Mystic)

here we go again with people trying to prove me wrong and calling me a liar, is this guild not supposed to be ignorant of new ideas, i cant prove anything becuase of something both of my half anscestors did >.>

Peaceful times are over...


In any case, the one making the claim has to deal with the Burden of Proof. You claim it, you prove it, not the other way around. I'll assume you are speaking true here about your...background, I believe the word is. Though I, being an ignorant techie, have no bloody idea what the Rose Nations or this...Hidden World are. Sounds like a good name for a fantasy novel's country of beginnings, though. *steals for book idea*

Also, paranoia isn't going to help your case.

Slavery is, by today's standards of morality, immoral. I'm for no slavery meself, as I sure as hell would not want to be enslaved.

EDIT: Rising, your sig is also just over the file size limit for images (100,000 bytes). I'll give you a chance to reduce the file size. Good way to do that is to shrink the image a bit.

The morality of slavery changes with the times as laws and views change. In ancient times, slavery was a world-wide accepted practice. Often criminals were sent into slavery as punishment for thier crimes. Prisoners of war would also be taken as slaves. It was an acceptable practice of punishment. Then it evolved into a trade where people conquered lands, enslaved people and sold them. While it was still an accepted practice, the basis around it was no longer punishment based but an act of profit and convenience at the cost of another person's freedom and right to life. Now a days, slavery is practically non-existant, though by some it is viewed as a sexual kink. However in today's day and age, slavery is immoral and wrong.

Personaly, it is ok if we're talking about the kink thing and both parties agree to it. Outside of that, slavery is morally wrong.

True. But...I think the question here is your own thoughts on the matter, not the majority's thoughts.

I cant believe im actually re-visiting this guild, but im bored so ya

Actually slavery is usually only prominant in Clans that view humans as inferior, and there are many, the habit is less common in the Rose Nation but other wise in places such as the Solar Nation, humans have no rights what so ever and are subject to instant slavery if any Solar Nation citizen comes across one in there territory

I dont think the level that the Solar Nation and the Torch alliance practice it is okay so in part i agree

...Kid, I've done a little research, and you're talking about a game. Granted, seeing what you have said, the fact they (the creators) are not going outright "oh god slavery is a bad bad thing and should never be done" is something to almost be praised. Almost, as it's still immoral now.

Get your head out of the game and back into the real world.
