Are you sure you weren't trying to quote Toddster and got the wrong person?


Good morning Sir. Yes, I'm quite sure.
I have a problem. If you want to figure out what it is go back and re-read and try not to get all dizzy.

As for the rest of your mindless banter.... Sig Test.

Firstly, that trying to tear apart someone's arguement by attacking their spelling is sophestry. I don't care if he spelled it with a "Q", I GET the point.

Secondly, that the "contract" aspect was just used as a comparison to differentiate the definition of slavery. Slavery was the topic I was taking you to task on, not contract.

We are ALL slaves to some extent and the bottom line is that we need to learn to accept some form of slavery. I am a slave to my crying son. SOME fathers are not. F*** them. I will respond to the cries of my baby boy. Others will not accept a job that they feel is "beneath" them, classifying it as slavery. That's crap. The line of demarcation between slavery and contract is pushed down to an untenable low. To think that NO form of slavery is permissible is unrealistic and ridiculous (ie. the feed your stomach analogy). Either obey your stomach or die. The stomach hath spoken!


You're playing semantics games, using a minor definition of slavery instead of the main one.
(edit: actually, equivocating the two)

The contract in question had nothing to do with slavery, as Fastback 86 stated. "And no one is forcing you into Servitude or Slavery, its your choice to sign the dotted line. " There is no ownership involved. If you break the contract they would probably sue, but they can't beat you or whatever else was legal to do to slaves.

And Tugboat, give me a freaking break. I had dyslexia for the .8 seconds it took me to type "Indentured" (accidently misspelled "Indentrued"), ok? Is that what you want? Its a damn typo. I wasn't even correcting Bill's spelling, I was correcting his terminology. Find something better to do with your time. And by the way, just for you, the spelling and grammar in this post are perfect.

It looked like the spelling was what you were trying to correct, 'cause servitude means the same thing as slavery.

I'm using the only definition that matters. Your talking theory and I'm talking day to day reality. Slavery is more often than not a state of mind. Bill is talking about being a slave when if fact there is no "slavery" in America...except within our own minds. I'm a slave to my family and I love it. I can walk away from a job at any time...and have done so. If some one is unhappy with their job situation then walk away but don't sit there and brood because you feel like a slave, you're not.

No Todd the definition is the drfinition and can not be anything but the total sum of its parts.

An example is (and I will use your skewed 1/2 witted definition) that we are "slaves of the mind" and there is great truth to that. However, when one mind enslaves another by enforcing OR forcing another to REMIT then the term slavery is then in effect in it's entire definition, not just a HALF TRUTH that vails a lie.

In other words I can be brough before a half baked judge who has sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and to blindly judge ALL based on is content; A document written in such a way that the feebleminded person can understand. Judges a person (such as myself who refutes said contract as un-Constitutional) liable for damages when a contract has been broken who then imposes sanctions upn me enslaving me to repay a debt that I should not have acrued under the ENSLAVING contract I sought to break.

So you see we have a bunch of TOADS sitting high up upn their toadstools, looking down upon a feeble mass of pions and passes an inept judgement that counters the very Constitution the swore to uphold.

You can call me crazy till the cows jump over the moon but the Constitution of the United States of America was drafted and written in such a simplistic way that any man could read and understand that it grants ALL people equality; that no man shal be placed above another in his rights.

------------
Beware the harbinger of single minded, contemptuous thoughs, it is a danger to the freedom of all men including the harbinger.
It is they who then tremble in fear of unrestrained freedoms and the allowance for such contempt to thrive, that eat at the very foundations of freedom unchecked.

The main definition of slavery is owning another person. It has nothing to do with state of mind.
