I avoided the trap by not advocating slavery today. But instead calmly stated I am against it now, but also noted that without it in the past we wouldn't be where we are.
All historians will gladly agree to this.
I'm quite certain that's what you think happened. You didn't actually address my reply, which appears to be your wont.
So, morally you are against slavery, but you think that might makes right? You don't see the inconsistency there?
No, there is no inconsistency.
As I stated before they fought for their freedoms and won it. Huzzah! You see how that works?
They took their freedoms, therefore might does make things right.
And explain how I didn't address and I happily will. :|
And the people who existed for 400 years before they got their freedoms? What of them?
EDIT: Please note that this is one of the arguments you didn't address that has already been made.
What of them?
Back then it was morally okay, and they didn't fight for their freedoms. I have no sympathy for these people. I have no sympathy for anyone who refuses to fight for what is right, but just sits in apathy.
