Topic: Bring back (voluntary) slavery.

People treat things better when they own them. Yes, you could let your employee have that occasional weekend off, and give him money for school, but he will leave for another company someday anyway, and the extra years of his life won't matter, and the schooling will just cost you money.

> Wait OP, are you serious?

Yes, in fact there have been times in history where slaves have sold themselves for the comfort of house slave life (better than poverty), having their life affairs managed, and knowing that they would be treated well.

This would need some regulation, and basic rights for the slaves, but overall would work quite well. If you find the idea abhorrent, why? It would be consensual, so you would never need to be obligated. A contract could include a list of concessions:

* Right to labor (defined to work week and hours)
* Right to body/sex
* Amenities guaranteed to subservient party.

This would ensure a good transaction for all parties involved.

Eloquent argument, I'll now disregard the basic principle of long-term investment people are shown to exhibit, as well as pretending this did not happen historically. Have you considered professional politics?

Simple, and clear. Is this the next "Yes, we can!"? Will the next national debate be the stage for Anonymous B's rise to national glory? Unbending at the other candidates fling useless appeals to reason.

That would be called "indentured servitude".

It's not slavery if its consensual. Maybe indentured servitude, but not slavery. Also, I'm not really shocked that once again, some dude wants to own people in order to use them for sex. Pretty typical.

Away down South in the land of traitors,
Rattlesnakes and alligators,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
Where cotton's king and men are chattels,
Union boys will win the battles,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.

Then we'll all go down to Dixie,
Away, away,
Each Dixie boy must understand
That he must mind his Uncle Sam,
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.

I wish I was in Baltimore,
I'd make Secession traitors roar,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
We'll put the traitors all to rout.
I'll bet my boots we'll whip them out,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.

Then they'll wish they were in Dixie,
Away, away,
Each Dixie boy must understand
That he must mind his Uncle Sam,
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.

Oh, may our Stars and Stripes still wave
Forever o'er the free and brave,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
And let our motto ever be --
"For Union and for Liberty!"
Right away, come away, right away, come away.

Then they'll wish they were in Dixie,
Away, away,
Each Dixie boy must understand
That he must mind his Uncle Sam,
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
