Ummm, but then according to your logic, if it was your opinion that I should then be hauled away in chains (thus imposing that condition upon "others"), you would have to be hauled away in chains. Then the person who hauled you away in chains would have to be hauled away in chains. Eventually the entire human race apart from one person would be in chains, and I suppose he/she would have to haul him/herself away?

As to the rest, good, at least you thought about it, but it wasn't really objective.

Reparations can begin by correcting fatal ethical flaws with respect to the global distribution of intangible resources, such as the world's 946 billionaires having a greater total wealth than the combined incomes of the poorest half of humanity.

Exactly! I say America should *kill* everyone who owes them money. That way we won't have to pay them back.

Someone needs to tell this to the Goldmans. Trying to collect money from O.J when Nicole is already dead:shrug:

 

Racial profiling is a serious excuse in the United States.

 

I am more of a sarcastical character. Hope you realize this.

 

Racial profiling is a scientific analysis of the data. God bless America!

 

So you're completely unable to explain why it's wrong, Sam? I always thought you were an intelligent poster. Sometimes I even respect you....but come on, think.

 

I think its pretty obvious why its wrong. It breaks the first rule of trade, trade-offs.

 

Slavery is wrong because it breaks the first rule of trade

Trade-offs do not break any economic rule. They are a consequence of actually making a decision in any course of action where making that decision will have both positive and negative effects. Almost anything you do will have trade-offs.
In the case of slavery the trade-off is between having a cheap and plentiful supply of labour, and the moral consequences of causing human misery.

You ain't gots no data.

 

I meant the lack of trade-offs for the person being enslaved.

 

You mean trade-offs for the person being enslaved, rather than the enslaver.
Then I am in agreement with you.

Minuses.
Loss of all family and friends, home. An unwanted emigration. Sea voyage packed like a Sardine. Probability of being sexually abused. Loss of influence over own destiny. Probable lower lifespan due to over work. Same due to exposure to new diseases. Near total loss of culture and native religion. ( I could go on)

Pluses
Let someone else provide these if they want to.
