Are you saying that incarcerated people who are being punished for crimes such as human trafficking are slaves?
It was never government approved, the government just didn't say anything about it.
Really? So Roosevelt didn't round up all the "Slant Eyes" in WWII?Believe what you want, but remember that it wasn't the government who quite literally enslaved an entire race once upon a time in American history
Overall I rate your comment as very low quality. Of course it was the government. It was state governments but governments nonetheless.
Either I am confused, or slavery is something imagined due to war, it seems to me you are a bit imaginative.
The only danger I see that this concept of guns in teachers possession during school. Is in the unlikely event that there was a madman with a gun scenario is that children could be potentially be in cross fire. I just really don't imagine a teacher doing anything really to combat an attacker. I assume they would be more likely to defend their children by seeking cover for the kids.
A teacher with a pistol going all Rambo on a guy with an AK 47 seems unlikely. a pistol really is a last resort defensive weapon. I typically run or drop as my instincts tell me to. The only time I have ever used my gun defensively was when the option to flee was not available.
I still don't know why it is okay to discriminate and withhold rights to people because of their profession.
No, I'm saying slavery is legal so long as the person is a convict as per Amendment 13.
I was talking about slavery... Most people seemed to have got that, of course you didn't
So to end "slavery" we should just open the jails up and let the murderers and rapists live next door to you.
To hold someone for committing an act of violence is not the same as to kidnap and force people to work against their will.
You are out of your mind if you think you can compare a convicted murderer to a child sex slave. Sorry I don't wish to continue this nonsense.
What? myp, can we get a face palm emote?
No, if you're convicted of a crime, the gov't can put you to work as a slave. You think those chain gangs you see picking up garbage get payed?
Okay, a more blatant example then. Alabama cracked down on it's illegal population a while back taking them off the farms and construction sites they were working on. After confirming they were illegal they didn't deport them but rather sent them right back to work, this time for free, as per the 13th Amendment's allowance for convict slaves. Being a convict doesn't make anyone a slave but it does allow for said convict's enslavement if there is a labor shortage or they had the misfortune of getting a pro-slavery judge during sentencing.
The didn't have to break into or country. They are also prisoners, all prisoners preform some task either for the prison or the community which they wronged.
Once they pay their debt to society they are fee men.
Still don't see how its slavery.
Slavery is the act of forcing someone to work against their will for no or only token pay. Forcing convicts to clean out gutters, work on farms are dig mines/queries is slavery by definition. The fact that they're convicts doesn't change this fact.
A chore isn't slavery, picking crops at some farm 8 hrs a day, 7 days a week with no pay is. I'm not sure why you're fighting so hard to deny this...
