The words “slave” and “slavery” are defined by the speaker or writer, not by the listener or the reader. They are relative terms. They are words that speak of any relationship where a person is subject to another with more power whether forced or not. Christians, for example, are people who, ideally, have surrendered soverign control of their lives to Jesus. In other words, they are slaves of Christ. Other people are forced, physically or by circumstance, into slavery where they feel forced to comply with the rules and behavior requirements of those in control. Every person who earns a wage in America is a slave. The money they earn is not profit on the sale of their energies, rather it is merely a loan that they can never repay in full and for which they are charged a tax (which is just a form of interest) on that loan. As long as someone has the right to tax you on anything, then what they tax you on actually belongs to them and you are just a borrower, or user. You are not the owner.

I wonder if these people remember that Obama is half-white. So, which half of him would be enslaved, right or left?

Tea-baggers are some of the most idiotic people I’ve ever seen. Do you even understand the ideology behind the actual Boston Tea Party? They weren’t doing it to say “We don’t like taxes!” like bunch of morons, they were protesting that they were being taxed by a government they had no say in. Just because your favourite candidate didn’t win doesn’t mean you don’t have a say in government, it means most people disagree with your political views. I’ve never seen any evidence that these “protesters” have any consistent idea of what they’re protesting, I’ve heard everywhere from excessive spending to voter fraud. They just don’t like Obama or his policies. Also they have a funny name.

Is that the American English language, which was dying when it started, or the actual English language? Honestly, I wouldn’t mind Americans ruining our language if they called it something else.

Really? You fail and you can get back up again? oh wait a minute, you can’t because you have no money, and can’t pay for your house. Hey, now your homeless! Guess what punk, you’re illegal now. Have fun in jail! Oh now you’re free, time to find a house! Oh wait a minute, can’t get much money with your record of being in jail, and who’s gonna hire a dirty homeless person, who can’t take showers, when they can hire the hundreds of immigrants who live in worse conditions. In my opinion, the government should provide the basics you need to live, and prizes for those that work more.

Are you seriously comparing CNN to Fox News? The only reason you think CNN is credible is because you choose to believe the liberal ideas they have. Fox News is the only network that isn’t completely left wing and so you have to attack it because you want no differing opinion than what you have.

I beg to differ on one point — I would say that paying a wage that might or might not be enough to live on, while not providing safe working conditions, is at least remotely comparable to slavery.

Choosing to work in those conditions (because it’s better than the alternatives) doesn’t make one’s situation any less miserable.

By: Zach

Zach — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:14:24 +0000

That sign is indeed very stupid but the caption of this picture is just as bad. A cooperation hiring you is not even remotely comparable to real slavery no matter how crappy the wage is.

Those dirt poor third world people where not rounded up and shoved into the factories they choose to work there because it was better than their alternatives. And dispite popular belief global poverty was not invented recently by American Corporations.

Personal responsibility? You really want to go there? Why is it that more people on welfare and low income people vote Democrat? Could it be that Democrats give more to the poor without requiring them to work for it? I work for every cent that I have in life. All I want is for the politicians (both sides) to provide me and my family a safe place to live. Everything else is up to the person to make it or to fail. If you fail, you get back up and try again. I don’t understand what is so hard about that. It is OK to let people fail. Failure can and will inspire people to succeed.

I work for a small business. That small business is presently doing very badly because of the current economy. It may very well not make it at all. If starting a business were a ticket to riches, it would not have this problem.

Independent wealth doesn’t come out of nowhere. It comes from convincing others—lots of them—to part with what little is left of their hard-earned and rapidly disappearing money.

Don’t kid yourself. Life is very, very hard. The rich are rich because of connections, luck, and having no qualms with exploiting the downtrodden.

Ideally, there would be some baseline—home, food, medical treatment, that sort of thing—and any work you do would result in rewards above and beyond said baseline.

Unfortunately this is, thus far, impossible. Automated labor (i.e. robots building your houses and making your food) does not (yet?) exist.

I look forward to the day when all people set aside their differences long enough to work together to create such a world. The rewards would be tremendous, as I believe humans’ inherent need to create, combined with not needing to worry about survival at all, will drive them to innovate at an ever-increasing pace.

That way lies utopia…

Where the hell were you naysayers when Bush and his cronies were asleep at the wheel—if not actively enabling what would become this economic disaster? Where were you? Why weren’t you complaining then?

Thanks to your kind voting for Bush, TWICE, it is now too late to stop the economic collapse. It is already here, and it happened on the watch of your chosen leaders.

Whatever Obama does or doesn’t do, the damage has already been done, and you were silent and obedient all the while. You have no room to speak now.

P.S. Stimulus checks don’t work. Bush already did that. This had no effect on the economy whatsoever, which continued to sink like the Titanic in a minefield.
