Where does it say it must be for punishment?

The vast majority of slaves weren't beaten, were well-fed and had a good relationship with their master. There was an interesting documentary on Discovery Channel a couple of years ago which pointed out that slaves lived relatively well.

I don't want to find anything offensive, actually. Its not easy to offend me, and, for the record, even as a trans person, I am not offended. However, that does not mean it isn't transphobic.

Technically, by definition, transsexuals and homosexuals do have a mental disorder. Now, if you would please, find me the definition of "mental disorder".

I should also note that I am not against the idea of transsexuals and homosexuals, but I'm working off of technicalities.


Actually, no, by definition homosexuals do not have a mental disorder any more than people who are left-handed have a physical disorder. Transgendered individuals are a slightly different story, but part of the treatment is to transition to a gender identity that the patient is more comfortable with, at which point there's no real disorder.

Now you're just justifying historical slavery.

In that time slavery was something normal. I am not justifying anything, I am stating facts which you don't seem to like.

There is no historical context in which slavery is moral in 21st century lenses. It was widely accepted in the 1700s, much less like 600 BC
