WTF? 


I know this almost seems like a silly question, but if you read the other slavery topic ( http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=120960&page=1&str=1540900303#29 ) , the statements of some people make you wonder what they actually think.

And well, most people answered correctly the ethics questions, but you can see some didn't. In fact, 31.25% answers up to this point are ethically wrong; but then again there are too few data points for now. Keep answering!


People thinking slavery is economically viable is a lot different then people actually being pro-slavery.

Slavery is VERY economically viable.

Our humanity has reached a new low point if these kind of questions are still asked.

Does this include consensual sex slavery or something? Why would anyone possibly agree with this? This is like asking if you're for or against human sacrifices (well sorta).


Exactly, I mean everyone wants the sun to rise the next day.  We'd all die if it didn't.  It's sad but sacrifices need to be made.

Not enough human sacrifice.

It's what fuels the internet you know.

No, because its cheaper to just pay workers than it is to pay people to keep the slaves in check (make sure they don't try to revolt). 


I disagree. If that were the case, then slavery would have been abandoned long ago, seeing as slavery was usually used as a way to make even more money by not having to pay a decent salary.

Many uncommon economic conditions have to be in place for slavery to be viable; and even rarer conditions have to be in place for it to be highly profitable on a wide scale. This is the reason why slavery was not widely practiced through the western world even though it was legal. What you need is a labour intensive product that is highly valued and requires no skill to produce, in an area where unskilled labour is expensive enough the massive up front costs associated with buying a slave and the recurring cost of food, shelter and clothing for the slave.

Absolutely against. Owning another human is completely unnaceptable.
