Ok, well , just because slavery has been part of humanity for 2000+ years, doesn't mean it has to continue that way. Just get rid of the criminlals in power, and we could all be ok.

hoooo boy let me tell you about this contraption called the cotton gin and how slavery stopped it from ever being invented because if the cotton gin HAD been invented, and had greatly increased the incentive to hold slaves, that would really make your point look asinine

America had far less colonies. arguably if any, and during that same period had far more success, and prosperity than England. Which didn't have slavery, but lost vast investments in it's colonies. Milton Friedman has a lecture on this. Check it out.

In the English and their History by Robert Tombs it says it has been extensively studied and demonstrated that the British empire was a net loss. I think he says about 2%. Basically we put in more than we took out and the colonies gained in many ways from the experience.

Their is an estimate 46 million people who today are in some way enslaved, yet you never hear about this.

Sweat shops in Asia and mines in the Congo are forms of slavery. Don't forget the American prison system.

No, Stefan. The slave trade grew Europe. I suspect you must be mocking us when you say these absolutely false, & ludicrous things. Seriously. Wow.

Or you'll just define/ redefine "modern" to deflect, & back out? Ha.
